KSS 10 Minute Card Challenge

The first post of 2011 . . . WOW!  I'm so thrilled and thankful for all who chose to spend a few minutes with me each day, even if it's just to "look at the pictures" (hee hee!) I appreciate you all so much!

Lots of new from Kitchen Sink Stamps today!  On New Year's Eve the brand new KSS Forum & Gallery opened and we had such a great time partying! LOTS of games & prizes and . . . NEW stamps!!  But if you weren't able to make it, never fear it's time to share the new stamps with you! :)  There are 3 new sets:

Multi-Step Sweet Heart Roses
Multi-Step Balloons
Multi-Step Champagne Celebration

But wait, we also have a new challenge for you from Lynn - a 10 Minute Card Challenge.  You can find all the details HERE in the KSS Forum!  When you finish your card you can upload it in the new KSS Gallery - cool!  So, a 10 Minute Card - oh my goodness if you know me at all, you know that is such a challenge for me!! I am a sloooowww stamper - lol!  But I bit the bullet and actually did it! Yea!


As you can guess I used Champagne Celebration for this card and made it pink champagne!  I kept the layout very simple - in fact I started with FTL#121 but tweaked it a bit to fit my image and the fact that I used dark patterned paper.  It's difficult to see in the photo but the pink cardstock is shimmery which makes it extra special!

I hope you take some time to visit the rest of the KSS Crew today and that you check out the new Forum & Gallery!!
