Fun Time at Wedding

Despite the down pour once during the day (which was about 20 mins prior to the start of the ceremony), and the few sprinkles on and off (during the day).....our friends got to get married outside yesterday and the ceremony was beautiful! Everyone looked so nice and the wedding all around was PERFECT! Congratulations Paul and Shannon!


Here's the wedding party (my hubby is the one kneeling in front of the groom):
And then here is a picture of me and my hubby! My friend Carrie stylied my hair and it turned out AWESOME...I always love how she does it! (My personal stylist AKA my sister was on vacation so I couldn't have her do my updo!)


I am heading to Illinois for a few days to check out a salon with my sister and mom! A girls get-a-way for a few days! Woo-Hoo! It is bound to be a GREAT time! Talk to you all when I return!

Please PRAY for Courtney & Her Family!

I just found out today that Courtney from http://createdbycourtney.blogspot.com/ little cousin Carli had an accident and isn't doing to well. She is only 6 years old, and needs our help! Please get everyone that you can to pray for her recovery! The power of prayer is so strong and together we can help Carli! To read more about Carli please visit Courtney's blog!

Again...Courtney all of us from http://www.craftsbykim.blogspot.com/ are praying for a speedy recovery for Carli!

Happy Wednesday!

Hello...Happy Wednesday to everyone! I have a couple creations I made yesterday! There won't be too much that I will be uploading this week! Our good friend is getting married friday and my hubby is standing up in the wedding....so things are crazy getting ready for that! Next week I am hoping to get a bunch new projects made and uploaded! I am also working on creating a store for people to purchase my craft projects! If anyone is interested in anything on my blog, please email me!

Now....ON TO THE NEW CARDS:

The 1st one is my sister's birthday card...she turned 21 yesterday! Happy Birthday Alissa! This is my 1st Acetate Card that I made, and I LOVED how it turned out!

Used: Stamping Bella - Cosmobella Stamp; primas, Studio G stamps, stickles, prisma pencils and OMS and some ribbon in my stash!

The 2nd card is going to my SUPER BELLA SISTAH Chris....it's postal right now!

Used: Stamping Bella - Superbella image I got in a swap, prima, stickles, prisma pencils and OMS, paper is CM.
Hope you enjoyed my latest creations! I would REALLY like to get a watermark for all of my work...but don't have Photoshop to do so! Hope I can figure something out so my creations don't get stolen! I downloaded a freebie program...but it doesn't do much....and I only got one watermark to work....it wouldn't even work on my second picture! Ahhhhh!

Hugs~ Kim

PS - my signature is giving me trouble tonight....crazy computer...nothing wants to work...signature or watermarks!

New Site with Giveaways!

I happened to come across this new site Spiral Whisper. They are a UK based stamping business that is just starting their endevor! Right now they have a contest....all you have to do is think of a name for their new stamps, and if your idea is picked you could win some of their stamps. Stop by and take a looksie!

ALMOST DONE with summer classes!

Hi Everyone! Hope this post find you all doing well! I am soooooo excited because as of TOMORROW I am DONE with my summer interim classes! Can I get a WOO-HOO???!!!???!!! I am officially done with Astronomy as of today, and my music class final exam in tomorrow at 9 AM! Then after that I am DONE until Sept 2nd! So hopefully I get LOTS of play time in the craft corner this summer!

Tomorrow I am leaving for a long weekend camping trip with my family. This will be our 3rd annual camping trip! We go to a country music festival about 1 hour away from home! It is a small festival...but is SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!! I am going to have lots of fun this year seeing how I have off the rest of the summer and don't have to worry about getting home Sunday to get ready for a work week! This is my 1st summer off in 10 years! WOW how time flies!

However, before I leave for the weekend I have one creation to share with all my blogger friends! My sister came over last night to highlight my hair (my sis just graduated last Friday from cosmetology school.....gee, I love having a personal hairstylist....love you sis!) and she had a job interview yesterday so wanted to see if I had any Thank You cards! All you have to do is say the word card and my eyes light up....so I said no....but I can whip one up for you....and that is just what I did! I think it turned out awesome....for a thank you card for a salon owner! The only thing I didn't like is that I don't have a static pillow thingy to rub on my paper before I heat emboss so I have some little black flecks on the paper that I didn't want there! Oh well! My sister loved it and that's what counts! I also got to use my NEW Nestibilities so I was a happy girl!

Here is the creation:


Hope you enjoyed!
