Enter Kim Hughes....
Kim is a fabulous designer and illustrator...her flair for the funky, trendy and just plain fun comes out in every creation she makes and every stamp she illustrates.
Almost two months ago, (ok...I actually have no idea how long ago it was but two months sounded good!) I sent Kim a message asking if she would be so kind to donate a card to a worthy cause. I KNEW anyone who won the Heart to Heart blog candy would be thrilled to own a Kim Hughes original. I really wasn't sure what would happen...although many agreed to send a card (a few did not even acknowledge the email!) Kim wrote back and said that she wanted to send a card AND a stamp set....
She did and even included a little note for me THANKING ME for asking HER! It is the things like this that make people special in my mind---you can have an awful LOT of talent but if you don't have much else---you really don't have much.
She included Twink the owl (I LOVE him!) and some fun embellishments for me to play with! So in honor of one of the most rockingist-stamping-superstars-with-a-huge-heart---here is my ode to Kim:
From the bottom of my heart Kim---you are a gem. Talent and Heart...that is what I like about you! (Feel free to sing that song all day now! insert evil laugh!)Before I go, I just want to let you know that you can find Kim's collection of whimsical and adorable stamps HERE!
THANK YOU KIM for everything!
Thanks for stopping by!

I agree, Kim is awesome and her creations are super cool! I'm a big fan of her stamp sets as well as of her!!!
Awwww....that is so darned cute! I have always admired Kim's work. And it makes my heart feel so happy to know what a wonderful person she is to boot!
Kudos to you, my friend, for honoring her in such a beautiful way. :-)
Very cute!
Kim is SUCH a doll! I just adore her to bits. So glad you got to play with this sweet owl :)
Sounds like a sweet person! I can't believe people did not answer your emails?? What you aree doing was one of the most generous and at the same time put out awareness for Alzheimer's, I cannot image anyone not contributing. Awesome card for a tribute to Kim!
I just love Kim's stamps, and it's so nice to hear about all of the good people in the world!! We definitely need more of that don't we. Your tribute card is adorable!!
Kim is very deserving of this special tribute. I've always heard the nicest things about her and I know she's got some great designs. You've got plenty of talent and heart yourself, too! I love the details of your design on this card!
I love kim too!!! Well, I dont know her personally, but love her designs and work and it is so great to know she is such a loving and giving person as you can tell when you read her blog. What a great tribute!
And a lovely card!!

Sweet card, Cam! I love that owl, and I'm a big fan of Kim's designs, too! And she is such a sweetheart! That's so sad though that some people didn't even acknowledge the emails you sent! I've sent 2 messages recently thanking designers for inspiring me to create something and neither ever responded. It's good to know there are still some out there who don't get too big for their britches! (like you!) :)
You are so right about Kim and I love this card too! The owl is too cute and the flourish is the perfect touch!
omgosh, I literally have tears in my eyes....thank you SO much for your very kind words.
I really hope we can meet someday so I can give you a huge hug!
LOVE your adorable card btw :)
you made my day, thank you
You did a great job with Kim's cute little Twink -- love the whimsical feel you created. Like you, Kim is very talented, and I guess now we all know that her heart is as big as yours! Did it ever occur to you that maybe you're really twins separated at birth?? lol tfs
