QKD Royal Blog Hop - Aug. 31

It is the end of August! In fact, the last day of August, the last Tuesday of August! So, that means that tomorrow -- yes, tomorrow is the new release day of QKD!!! And new releases means new goodies and that means happiness!!!

So, even though it is August (just barely), the hop this week focuses on the new stamps! The challenge this week was open -- anything but a card, with an attempt to make ATCs or art journal pages!

You should have started from the fabulous Queen Kat Designs blog, hopped along to the Whimsical Ink Sorority blog, and now you are here at my blog!

And here are my two ATCs!



Aren't they the cutest things!!! Not the ATCs of course, but the new stamps from QKD! They are from a set called Creepy Kids! There are three in all, but these two were the ones I decided to use for my project! I used the other one in another project that I will share soon!

Thanks for stopping by but now it is time to head off to Jules' blog to see what she has in store for today.

QKD Sale!!!

Head over to QKD for the 30% off sale happening now for all rubber stamps! The sale lasts until August 31, 2010! But, even better than that, you can still qualify for a free stamp! And not just a free stamp but a never before released stamp from Che Gilson!

QKD Blog Hop!!! Aug. 24

Another Tuesday??? Yes, it is, hard to believe that August is almost over. The hop today is an inspiration challenge and we got to use this cool inspiration photo from Crate & Barrel. Yummy!!!!



To fully enjoy this hop, you should have started with the QKD blog. And hopped along until you came to Wynneth's project at Whimsical Ink Sorority.

And now, here's my card:


I used the Anticipation Kitty stamp by Melia! You know how much I love Melia's stamps and this one is no exception. This kitty is ready to dive into his cupcake!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, but it is time to head off to Jules' blog to see her creation for this week.

QKD Free Stamp???

From now through 8/27/10 when you buy any 3 stamps or stamp sets (rubber) from QKD you will get a FREE Tabby stamp!

Aug. 17 - QKD Blog Hop!

It's time for a color challenge!!! Queen Kat Designs is focusing on some soft colors this month - rose, butter, and melon.

Now, to the 'business' of the hop. You should have started at the QKD blog (because you definitely do not want to miss anything!) and hopped along. You should be hopping from the WIS blog to mine.

And here's my card. I used the Mommy 1 stamp. The kraft envelope I grunged up a bit with some white paint but it still can open and close and would be perfect for a gift card for a new mommy!



Thanks so much for stopping by but it is time to head off to Jules' blog to see what she has for this week.

Polka Dot Plum's Deal of the Week

The deal of the week at Polka Dot Plum is up!!!

Hop Hop Hop - QKD's Aug. 10 Blog Hop

Did you not love the designs from last week. I had such a great time hopping along and seeing all the wonderful creations by my team members!

Now, to the 'business' of the hop. You should have started at the QKD blog (because you definitely do not want to miss anything!) and hopped along. You should be hopping from the WIS blog to mine. Did you know that the WIS blog has a challenge each week? Check out Saturday's Verona Challenge to play along.

Okay, week 2 = sketch challenge. And here's the sketch



This week is the second week of releases, but I did actually use the same stamp as last week - Fashion Dress #4. I cannot get enough of the Fashion Dress stamp series!!!



These stamps are so classy that no other work is needed to them - just stamp and use. I added some rubons and ribbon to my card and that is it -- yes, the "stitches" are rubons!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, now it is time to see what Jules' creation is for the week. I know it will be fabulous!!! So, hop along to Jules' blog and enjoy the rest of your hop (and day!)

Fun at PDP!!!

Polka Dot Plum is the happening place to be!!! Check out and wonder (along with me) about Scrapzilla!! How fun does this look?



Also, if you didn't get to pick up the pieces from the blog train, you still can get Granny's Attic free with a $10.00 purchase!! Love it!!!

Cookin Up Creations - August Layouts/Projects

At CUC this month, the digital team got to use Designs by Krista and Bugaboo Digital Stamps.

Here are the layouts that I did using Krista's Friends kit.







And I also used Stella - Hard Drive from Bugaboo Stamps with this layout. The kit used is from Danielle Corbitt.

August??? QKD New Releases Blog Hop!

Oh my! It is August!!! I am excited because it is now time for the QKD new release blog hop (and I loved my stamps for this month) but also in shock because summer is over!!!

But, it is Tuesday and that means it is time for the QKD blog hop and yes, this week features new releases and a sketch. Here is the sketch



You should have started at the QKD blog, hopped along, made it to the Whimsical Ink Blog and now you are here.

And here is my card



I did start with the sketch but my card took a life of its own and turned out different from the sketch! I got to play with one of the fabulous Fashion Dress Stamps!! I love these -- so elegant and classy. I used some glitter to dress up the bottom of the dress but it is fabulous with or without any embellishing!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, but now it is time to head off to Jules blog to see what she has for us this week.
