Happy Saturday...it has been forever since I have sat down to play with my stamps and today I went to a paper crafting event with 15 other ladies and actually accomplished something today. Usually I spent way too much time chatting and laughing and maybe would get one card completed but not today, I finished 10 cards! I went prepared and tried to make it easy to stay focused and get some work done. I decided to do nothing but CASe cards, except one. It made it very easy to be productive. I pulled out last month's 12 kit and used leftovers to make 3 cards, so quick and easy. We all brought food to share the theme was picnic, so what better to share at a picnic than watermelon? Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy your weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dad's out there.
Watermelon Rice Krispie Treats
This card is entered in the current challenge at
The Card Concept#12 - Nautical. I think it fits into the clean and layered category.
Cards from lats month's 12 kits...thank you ladies for the fabulous inspiration!
I CASed Sherrie from A Little Piece of Everything, minus the sentiment forgot to bring those along. You can see Sherrie's card
here. This card is using some NBUS, you can read more about that over at
Darnells' blog, she has a party going on.
This card is just about an exact copy of Tracey's card from In My Creative Opinion, you can see Tracey's card
here. Both of these cards are for this week's challenge at
ColourQ #245
You did gets lots done today Kim--wow you were busy but i bet you did lots of chatting too. I bet the watermelon Rice Krispie squares were a hit. All of your cards are fabulous and I am honoured that you CASEd me! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the colourQ!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a fun & productive day Kim - beautiful CAS cards. My favourite is the white-on-white thank you card with the pretty flower cluster.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where to start Kim! Every single card so inspiring! And that watermelon treats!!! I just want to take a bite!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing collection of cards! And now I'm hungry for a Rice Krispie treat! Thanks for joining us at colourQ!
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive day you had Kim and I love the variety of cards you came up with. I specially love the first one because I always find it so hard to come up with masculine cards and this is wonderful.

All your cards are so nicely done! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tickled for you that you got a chance to craft with 15 other ladies, Kim! You've been working hard and deserved that time! And, wow, I'm uber impressed with your productivity! Each of these cards deserves its own post with a spot in the limelight! They are all remarkable! You've done some really super CASEing, as well, which is a compliment to those artists!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up again with my NBUS Challenge and continuing to spread the word!! You're a good friend!! Hugs, Darnell
Wow, you've been so productive, Kim ... these are all fabulous! My faves are the first with the stripes, bold die cut sailboat and beautiful sentiment ... and the stunning gingham squares! I could also say those watermelon crispies would be a favourite too ... yum! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day of crafting! All fabulous cards! But the nautical ones are my faves.
ReplyDeleteMy family just left (sad face!!) so I headed over to your blog because I knew you'd have something to cheer me up. And wow, am I right!! You've shared a plethora (love that word!) of gorgeous cards here. Ten cards in one session (so glad you had some "you" time with your friends), each one different, is a stellar accomplishment. What a rich reward for us who have the opportunity to gaze, admire and swoon...I'm with Darnell: each of these cards warrants its own limelight post. I'm awed by all of them, but my favourites...oh heck, couldn't choose a favourite if you paid me! LOVE them all! Those colourful treats...yum! I just received some nautical themed goodies and your first card has sparked ideas. See...you've gone miles in making my 'missing my family' easier to bear. HUGE hugs to you, dear friend!! ~c
ReplyDelete10 cards - that's awesome Kim! You got a lot accomplished. So honored you CASed one of mine!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE rice krispie treats so gotta try the watermelon version...perfect for summer!
Yep! Ten cards in one day! You were definitely a woman on a mission! And mission accomplished! Awesome cards...but I'm soooooo loving the Wishbig ColorQ card - the inked images are stunning!
ReplyDeleteFYI...it's a Nautical theme over at the Card Concept Challenge - your sailboat card is the perfect fit!
....really, REALLY wishing that I could reach into my computer monitor and grab a piece of the yummy Watermelon Rice Krispie treats!
What a bunch of pretty cards for the NBUS challenge! I have a whole pile of NBUS too and so I joined this fun challenge. I am now a follower of your blog and would love it if you visited my blog and became a follower too. http://karenskreativekards.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWow, Kim. How did I miss this post? So much crazy talent here. Love all your cards, especially the ones I know you made from my kit (smile). How impressive that you got so much done when you had so many friendly distractions, too. I cannot wait to CASE both you and Sherrie with your New York scene card.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you linked your card up to the CCC challenge cuz it is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteBTW....have my comments been coming through? I stopped by over the weekend to say hello and I don't see my comments posted. I sure hope that they aren't MIA (and wishing that they just need to be "ok'd" for publication! Will check back later to see if they appear!
I don't know how you are pumping all these amazing cards out so quickly! Fantastic work, especially loving the enjoy card (just got that die) and that yellow card, what a fantastic scene! Oh, and I will take that tray of watermelon rice krispy treats too....
ReplyDeleteLove all of your cards but especially the Nautical scene! The boat in black looks fantastic as well as the sentiment is perfect for the card :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are all great, Kim! I love the Nautical one!
ReplyDeleteKim, these are all great! Sounds like you had fun and looks like you were productive, too! Awesome cards!
ReplyDeleteFun cards, and yumm-o looking treats, Kim! :) I'll be right over. ha ha
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to The Card Concept. :)
Total eye candy... right down to those Rice Krispie treats. Great cards.
ReplyDeleteI do love your style, Kim! These are just wonderful--every detail perfect! What fun rice krispie treats!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm still behind too with my catching up on everyones amazing projects. You certainly were rather busy, these are all incredible! I love the New York scene, how I wish I could draw like that. It looks so good with the yellow, a simple but stunning card. Also your card with the four flowers is gorgeous and love the sentiment 'Wish Big'. I wish that I had a product that would turn any phrase I can think of into a stamp..that would be awesome!! And how was the Jelly Belly Factory?? Did you come out laden with bags of yummy beans? There are so many flavours, I can't even choose a favourite. I remember going to the Ben and Jerry's factory many years ago and you could eat lots of icecream at the end. Thank goodness I didn't need to run anywhere after that!!! I should be making cards now but I'm too tired. Will start again tomorrow, refreshed! Enjoy your weekend when it finally rolls around over there!
ReplyDeleteYou must have been in your craft room for DAYS! I love the nautical card with the sailboat and that ENJOY card...so good! I can't believe how many of your cards I missed while I was on vacation.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I can't believe you got all that done in one day! You must be "in the zone" - that's the best isn't it? Everything coming easy and looking FABULOUS!! Jealous here! And you are just as creative in the kitchen too? I flipped when I saw the watermelon rice krispy treats! How cool is that? You blew me away today with this post!!
ReplyDeleteWow,you sure went to town! You had a very productive craft day! Love them all ! The watermelon treats are adorable!
