Let's Hop with KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS and The ART DU SCRAPBOOKING Store

Welcome to a fantastic joint blog hop featuring Kraftin’Kimmie Stamps and the Art du Scrapbooking store in Quebec!  Grab a cup of coffee and sit back to enjoy all the gorgeous creations using the January release of new stamps from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!  If you’d like to start the hop from the beginning, head over to the KKS challenge blog and be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky random stampers will WIN some prizes!! All the new images are now available at the Art du Scrapbooking store online and in person or from the KKS online shop, where you will find ALL our stamps!  Get ready....get set.....HOP!!

You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented NICOLE's blog.

For my card today I used the NEW Goddess Aphrodite. She was absolutely perfect for the paper and embellishments (because of the love theme) that I have from the Art du Scrapbooking store. The paper has a sweet sentiment on it so I did not have to stamp one on my card. And the flowers are adorable. How about that dot bling at the bottom? You need embellishments .... the Art du Scrapbooking store has it. Here is my card.

You're next stop on the hop is the very talented CAROLE.

I hope you have a wonderful time hopping along with us today. Thanks for stopping by and have a splendid one.

Hugs,
