My favorite is kraft and pink:</p>

<p>When I saw the &#8220;use kraft&#8221; challenge at <a href="http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/2010/04/gc52-color-challenge-kraft.html">Gingersnap Creations (GC52)</a> I knew I had to make something, after all I bought 2 reams of Kraft CS from my Stampin Up! lady (I love SU! kraft, it is lighter than most and smooth, thick and dense, great for card bases, I go through a ream of each size a year!) and I grabbed a few reams of cheapo kraft cardstock at JoAnns a few weeks ago when it was on sale (it is the paper company brand, it is darker and earthy with a nice warm grungy-ness to it and it is usually out of stock so if I see it I grab it:)</p>
<p>I used a new set of stamps from My Favorite Things that I won last week from a &#8220;use up your scraps&#8221; challenge, what a nice surprise to get that in the mail! And a birthday calender stamp from imagenescence. I will circle the date and month on the card when I am ready to send it.</p>
<p>Thanks all for today, give Kraft a chance! till next time happy crafting!</p>
