Deconstructed Sketch #62

Hello and happy Thursday friends. It's time for our weekly sketch from the amazing Jen Shults and you are going to love today's sketch, Deconstructed Sketch #62. 

I totally messed up this week. I had a blog hop yesterday, Wednesday. When I originally made the card for the hop a couple of days ago I thought the blog hop was scheduled for Thursday so I used this week's Deconstructed Sketch for my card. So, I'm showing you the card AGAIN that I posted yesterday. Sorry for being a ding bat this week. The sketch is awesome so here is the pic of this week's sketch and another look at my card :)

Don't forget to check out what all the girls from the Deconstructed Sketch team have to show you. You will find tons of inspiration.

If you’d like to join us for this past week's sketch all you need to do is create a project using the above sketch as inspiration. There are no specific image requirements for this challenge. Upload your project to your blog or to an online gallery and link it back Jen's blog to Inlinkz by Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 8 pm CST. (If you miss the deadline please leave a link to your card in a comment onJen's blog… we’d still love to see it!!)

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS - July Previews Day 1

Hello friends and happy Wednesday. We are kicking off the *New* JULY Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and first off, we’d like to introduce you to our next set of TRINKETS!!! This month's Trinket stamp theme is BIRTHDAY!!!

These circular sentiment stamps have been created and designed by the totally talented Krafty Girl, Nicole Aspinall!! They are made especially to fit in your 1 3/8ths and 1 3/4 inch punches, for quick and easy cutting!!! There are EIGHT trinkets in each set with four of each size and they come as both positive and negative images, so you can use your black or brown ink with the positive stamps and use your coloured inks with the negative ones!!

A lot of the Krafty Girls are cardmakers and we have found these to be such a quick and easy way to add a sentiment to our creations but they are also perfect for your Smashbook pages and your scrapbook pages, not to mention your altered items!! I can’t wait to see them used everywhere!!!

You will get the set as a completely unmounted full sheet of deeply etched grey rubber. 

I stamped the trinket I used today in black ink on green cardstock and white cardstock. I punched the inside circle of the white one out, colored it, and popped it on top of the green cardstock. I love the way it turned out. Here is my card for today.

Wanna win? One random person will win the BIRTHDAY TRINKET set. Make sure you check out all the Krafty girls blogs for sneak peeks and leave a comment for your chance to win. You can find their links on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog. Winners will be announced on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog tomorrow.
