This is truly a wonderful accomplishment and I really wanted to make it speacial for her. My Dad thinks an aweful lot of this girl and he had never asked me to make him a card before so this card had to be special.<br /><br />I have to say that I am really pleased at how it turned out. There wasn't much stamping on this card only to make the background paper with the words Karate and Blackbelt. I never had any paper that I thought was appropriate so I remember seeing a background like this on someone's blog a while ago. I am sorry that I can't remember to give her credit. <br /><br />I really hope my Dad and Riley like this card. I think they will though.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-71668638100923646642011-01-31T20:35:00.003-03:302011-01-31T20:38:13.795-03:30Valentine's Book & Pen<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu-4pjxeWVT1CmXt78bZ4afVD94AWlYU36987iIO5LH_yPB3dxN_9K9Dqg6kEhRyEO20t-Mz9aTC5OXWb1KZez1JZtpFgkSZAPdwiQJsoH81HOq3f_7tI5dr3xh62y6Cwo_bNIl-IxXDI0/s1600/Valentine+Book+%2526+Pen.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu-4pjxeWVT1CmXt78bZ4afVD94AWlYU36987iIO5LH_yPB3dxN_9K9Dqg6kEhRyEO20t-Mz9aTC5OXWb1KZez1JZtpFgkSZAPdwiQJsoH81HOq3f_7tI5dr3xh62y6Cwo_bNIl-IxXDI0/s320/Valentine+Book+%2526+Pen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568505590387301666" /></a><br /><br />I spent the afternoon with my friend Kelly yesterday and this is one of the projects that we made. I had a great afternoon and it gave us a chance to catch up and spend time together doing what we both love so much. Tks Kelly for a great afternoon.<br /><br />I always find it hard getting back to making cards after Christmas as I always find that I need a bit of time off. For me I make so many cards and Christmas things that I actually turn myself off for a bit. It feel good to be back at it though.<br /><br />Should be back again tomorrow night with the other project that we made.<br /><br />Hope you all are enjoying your evening.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-10571845329228150242011-01-26T20:42:00.007-03:302011-01-26T21:25:39.708-03:30I Am A Seamstress!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJlOX4O4_lDFLC12__5n_za6x9CaRJ3lhznjSCJPGYlcFSM25aH00QEswjuyIPQ7B3WIaByFbqZp58VXJRXb8uKgVyZ7Eibc7QZKVCd317MPbzUT9nRaBHilksfDE_wgzv0lbgUywG3oN6/s1600/Sewing+Catatude+2011.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJlOX4O4_lDFLC12__5n_za6x9CaRJ3lhznjSCJPGYlcFSM25aH00QEswjuyIPQ7B3WIaByFbqZp58VXJRXb8uKgVyZ7Eibc7QZKVCd317MPbzUT9nRaBHilksfDE_wgzv0lbgUywG3oN6/s320/Sewing+Catatude+2011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566652104599252466" /></a><br /><br />Isn't that a joke. Me an seamstress. I think not! For anyone who knows me they know this could not be further from the truth. This is the first card that I have even sewn on. What do you think? For the first time I don't think it is too bad. I have had this particular sewing machine for almost three years now and to tell you the truth I never ever put thread into it until this week. Shame on me. Since it was such a long time since I used one I guess I was a bit intimidated. Not good I know. Well it is conquered now. I think I need better thread though. This stuff keeps cracking. <br /><br />How are you all doing? Been awhile since I was on here. I thought it was high time that I got back at creating again. I want to make a bunch of cards to have on hand for occasions that come up. <br /><br />The cat on this card is from on old SU set that I ordered on SCS a few years back called Cattitude. This cat just cracks me up. He reminds me of a ginger cat that we used to have named Misty. He always seemed to looks all pissed off too.<br /><br />The paper is from a pack I bought a few years back at Walmart called Cats and Dogs.<br />There are alot of cute papers in there and over the next while you might get to see more of it as I build my card collection.<br /><br />Hope you all are enjoying your week.<br /><br />Be back probably on the weekend with another card.<br /><br />Take careKaren Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-26133142106598312542010-12-25T10:59:00.002-03:302010-12-25T11:00:52.672-03:30Merry Christmas!I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

This one is labels 15 I think.<br /><br />How are you getting along with all your Christmas plans. Mine are almost finished. Did a bit more shopping today. Don't have much more to get. Just a few little things. I am hoping to have it all done tomorrow.<br /><br />This image is from Whimsy Stamps and it is called "Warm Winter Wishes"<br /><br />Enjoy your evening.<br /><br />Be back tomorrow with a card that is not for Christmas for a change.

Mine are a bit behind but then they are every year. Why should I think this year will be any different. lol<br /><br />I made this card recently using my first digital stamp purchase at Whimsy Stamps. It is an image called Trimming The Tree. I have to say that after using these digital stamps I will definately be buying more. They don't take up much room compared to the others. Whimsy stamps has a great collection of images that are so fun to color. They remind me of the Whipper Snapper images. I love to color both of these type of images.<br /><br />I will be back tomorrow with another Digital Image to show you.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your weekend and don't worry about the preparations. If you don't get it all done then there is always next year.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-82370518151248894992010-11-30T18:47:00.003-03:302010-11-30T18:47:54.809-03:30I have to appologize for not getting back on here to show you any new projects.<br /><br />I have been too busy lately and ended up hurting my neck again.<br /><br />I will hopefully be back again tomorrow evening.<br /><br />Take careKaren Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-42650390542454755402010-11-28T21:23:00.004-03:302010-11-28T21:30:57.602-03:30Penguins in Echo Park<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSFojngSFCvwtK-QXnqFGAlfMhaukOtZX4xdETzZq1x4r7hDTtyQCu-KK4G0ZMNhEopsRloqtfsF7zq4butOoOl84wRIWzC7peJy2_3yCu6fH1ewQddKzwYjTEArU97YlR37K9We7MhQI/s1600/Penguins+with+Echo+Park.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSFojngSFCvwtK-QXnqFGAlfMhaukOtZX4xdETzZq1x4r7hDTtyQCu-KK4G0ZMNhEopsRloqtfsF7zq4butOoOl84wRIWzC7peJy2_3yCu6fH1ewQddKzwYjTEArU97YlR37K9We7MhQI/s320/Penguins+with+Echo+Park.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544768649769548050" /></a><br /><br />I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I spent alot of time this weekend making cards so that hopefully I could sell some. Always nice to make a bit of extra money so that you can buy more new craft items. <br /><br />This paper me and my friend Kelly bought from the US and it is from Echo Park. This is the first card that I made using the paper. The ribbon I did a bit of a different way and I like the way that it turned out. Nice change. Not sure if I did it right or not but it is different.<br /><br />How are you all doing with your Christmas preparations? This year for the first time in years I am a bit ahead. Nice cause then the closer it gets to Christmas the more time I will have to relax. I always have so much last minute things to get done. Hopefully I won't get behind on all the rest of the things that I need to do.<br /><br />Spend the afternoon at my friend Kelly's and met a new stamping friend called Melanie. It was a nice afternoon and hopefully we can get together again real soon.<br />Tks once again Kelly.<br /><br />Tonight I am just sitting back and relaxing for a change. My poor neck needs the rest. Back to work again tomorrow. The weekends go by so fast.<br /><br />I will be back tomorrow with some tags that I made today at Kelly's.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-12575327433743605812010-11-25T21:27:00.003-03:302010-11-25T21:36:36.119-03:30Ornaments<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Th0AylFEQI2SYc1rwGX7uLg1kDjy4fGxQyXnrd-ClNEFfCd8Ko8jktVOFyFS8lIpvNfYASvZCdIjpiUIjhyduYC9zHdzzp7oeoG7laooAbvvAJIq-ax9sK4A-0QieoRiEylYg5Q4l_U2/s1600/Holiday+Cheer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Th0AylFEQI2SYc1rwGX7uLg1kDjy4fGxQyXnrd-ClNEFfCd8Ko8jktVOFyFS8lIpvNfYASvZCdIjpiUIjhyduYC9zHdzzp7oeoG7laooAbvvAJIq-ax9sK4A-0QieoRiEylYg5Q4l_U2/s320/Holiday+Cheer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543657815046685810" /></a><br /><br />How are you all doing with your Christmas preparations? Can't believe only one month away it Christmas Day. Seems like only last week it was Christmas. Guess that is a true sign that I am definately getting older. <br /><br />Anyway .. back to the card.<br /><br />I made this card the other night and I can't quite say that I am completely pleased with it. For me it lacks something. My daughter tells me I am just too picky. <br /><br />I have had this set of stamps for a couple of years now and never seemed to get around to inking it up for a card. Had a few things done with it that I never liked and threw out. Maybe I am too picky.<br /><br />I will be back on the weekend with some new cards to show you.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your evening !Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-30740864445019746382010-11-23T21:21:00.003-03:302010-11-23T21:24:34.269-03:30Cardinal Christmas!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoVsPk4Z7a-KM1KaMNT03Eq63WFdvhP9zCqw14rAQqbo3oD4p8MmBLzsDcrOnIMtlQqiYFfQw1sDbWIQrAnMQbZh3Pz6gMxntJyRfdCWRjlw00bEQ2pexeRHJU6ZoabwTeoq5mjn6M5k9/s1600/Cardinal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoVsPk4Z7a-KM1KaMNT03Eq63WFdvhP9zCqw14rAQqbo3oD4p8MmBLzsDcrOnIMtlQqiYFfQw1sDbWIQrAnMQbZh3Pz6gMxntJyRfdCWRjlw00bEQ2pexeRHJU6ZoabwTeoq5mjn6M5k9/s320/Cardinal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542912589238656850" /></a><br /><br />I bought this paper last year marked down after Christmas. It is Martha Stewart. I had a few different cardinal stamps and thought that the paper would be fun to use.<br />I am pleased with how this card turned out. It is the first one that I colored for awhile. I colored it with my copics. So nice to use them again. They are definately my favorite coloring medium.<br /><br />I have been busy trying to get a number of cards made to sell. I am hoping to start to sell them this weekend. I need to get a few more done yet though so you will have more to come back and look at real soon.<br /><br />I still have a couple of cards from the Basic Grey kit to show you.

I hope where you are to is warm. It sure is chilly here in Newfoundland tonight. I think with the wind chill it is about -12 degrees C. Colder than it has been here in a long time. <br /><br />This chilly weather is fitting for the snowmen that I wanted to show you. I was over to my friend Kelly's and she cut these snowmen and tags out with her Cricut. Aren't they the cutest thing. I really like them and hope to get over to here place again soon and make more. <br /><br />Come back again tomorrow as I have another new card that I have made to show you.<br /><br />Enjoy your eveningKaren Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-70072286545037229472010-11-21T22:09:00.005-03:302010-11-21T22:22:43.406-03:30Hope You Enjoyed Your Weekend!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqL6ca20XdWoVRyO_RZRR5YbCoGHHM6XyCzhjyUuIpoJwht_U89ZWYFWby88voJrQYCI1qoNv2jEDhZxI__C-tzMu6NhxRwosnFYe-r66VHd0vSOR4DQdm-Blc4B8vrwijz0QiggEoj-0/s1600/Jovial+Kit+6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqL6ca20XdWoVRyO_RZRR5YbCoGHHM6XyCzhjyUuIpoJwht_U89ZWYFWby88voJrQYCI1qoNv2jEDhZxI__C-tzMu6NhxRwosnFYe-r66VHd0vSOR4DQdm-Blc4B8vrwijz0QiggEoj-0/s320/Jovial+Kit+6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542182921833498402" /></a><br /><br />I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I sure did. For the first time in months me and my dh actually went out and spent an evening with another couple. We had a great time. A nice change indeed. One that I hope we can do again real soon.<br /><br />I have to say a big thank you to Sheila at Scrappin Great Deals for cancelling my order and allowing me to pay for it again so that I could get it more quickly. I had a little trouble with my palpal account (completely my fault) and when I went to pay for my order it came up that I was paying with echeck and I don't know if you have ever had to do that but it seems to take forever to get your order. I am looking forward to getting the order as I ordered some new Nestabilities that I hope to show you something with as soon as I get them.<br /><br />The card above was made with the Jovial card kit. I am almost finished showing you them. I have something a little different for you tomorrow night. I have some tags to show you that me and my friend Kelly made using her Cricut. They are so cute and easy to make.<br /><br />Enjoy what is left of your evening.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-52422504723462046502010-11-19T21:22:00.004-03:302010-11-19T21:28:01.183-03:30Continuining On With Jovial Card Kit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHY5HjtCyZiNO4kJOxUZPg-nAOhqof5nqWHFioKZIIsq_S0AXNokdi1pntXVkqEbkxXcWctQXT41BKl8d6LS11tzTuoEg8_sekO4_N1DfxV4ouLZnxCYPlVpWVP2TKNbgBCOpnpa00TyvF/s1600/Jovial+Kit+5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 221px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHY5HjtCyZiNO4kJOxUZPg-nAOhqof5nqWHFioKZIIsq_S0AXNokdi1pntXVkqEbkxXcWctQXT41BKl8d6LS11tzTuoEg8_sekO4_N1DfxV4ouLZnxCYPlVpWVP2TKNbgBCOpnpa00TyvF/s320/Jovial+Kit+5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541429013074275394" /></a><br /><br />Sorry I missed last night but I have had a couple of difficult days at work for my neck.

I can't say that these cards have been hard to make at all. I don't really enjoy doing them as much as I would if I stamped and colored them. I guess it is good to try new things.<br /><br />Hopefully this week I will get more cards stamped and I may even get some of them colored.<br /><br />I find since I have had this pinched nerve that coloring is hard for me and it is the one thing that I really loved to do more than anything. Hopefully soon I will be able to get back at it.<br /><br />Well today is hump day.<br /><br />Enjoy your evening.<br /><br />I have another card to show you tomorrow.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-3586663776783865452010-11-16T16:14:00.004-03:302010-11-16T16:17:27.981-03:30Still Working on the Jovial Card Kit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0g8M3zZFhbtDkzuRNXBCuTNco34xf4xeDqGvAmYbQEYH6rhcdsp8t-rndZ-UZ2X6XjPG6oX9ZxiWIY5yoGMko21y8LWYw6w5w61OZ5vEvAh91gfo7U-jC9a6cKOmHdaFyIHw0ZvDvYgjv/s1600/Jovial+Kit+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0g8M3zZFhbtDkzuRNXBCuTNco34xf4xeDqGvAmYbQEYH6rhcdsp8t-rndZ-UZ2X6XjPG6oX9ZxiWIY5yoGMko21y8LWYw6w5w61OZ5vEvAh91gfo7U-jC9a6cKOmHdaFyIHw0ZvDvYgjv/s320/Jovial+Kit+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540236018270462738" /></a><br /><br />Here is another card made with the Basic Grey Jovial card kit.

It is the fist time that I<br />ever bought a card kit and it was fun to do but I have to say that I do prefer to stamp my cards and put them together my way. I do like the color of the papers and everything but it will probably be the first and last time that I buy one.<br /><br />This is the first card that I made from this kit. It was also the first time that I used rub ons and I think they take a bit of practice. I managed to ruin a couple of them but I did get the hang of it after a bit.<br /><br />I have more of these cards to show you over the next few days.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-52078790595383300292010-11-13T14:49:00.004-03:302010-11-13T14:54:08.549-03:30Scenic Season<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMt0xyMQTThXrwx9JlFby9bYx8CQ7mW7_iyNa14CaHwJI9r4QHqSmBUfsgxo9-PVjYEdZ7yf8_ted9sdfuBsUXUxg5CoBhs6P-ew37yf6Z1eXbqeO3T-GRwiFAhSiRD3jwDgYUnZHjkCt/s1600/scenic+season+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMt0xyMQTThXrwx9JlFby9bYx8CQ7mW7_iyNa14CaHwJI9r4QHqSmBUfsgxo9-PVjYEdZ7yf8_ted9sdfuBsUXUxg5CoBhs6P-ew37yf6Z1eXbqeO3T-GRwiFAhSiRD3jwDgYUnZHjkCt/s320/scenic+season+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539101815831938914" /></a><br />I made this card using a Su set called Scenic Season that I bought last year. We made a card pretty similiar to this last year at our card class but I changed it a bit. I used the moon mask and changed the color from Night of Navy to Pacific Point. I had some of the paper because it was in in color before. I am so glad that they brought it back again. I also used photo paper instead of whisper white.<br /><br />I hope the weather is as nice where you are as it is here today. I just love the sunshine. These days are a real bonus this time of year.<br /><br />Gotta go and enjoy some more of your day<br /><br />Come back tomorrow and I have some cards from a basic grey card kit to shart showing you.<br /><br />Enjoy your day!Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-85949590657266788132010-11-12T14:22:00.005-03:302010-11-12T14:27:33.620-03:30Delightful Decoration<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQNLizHeFf3MnHWXbFiLm8OHQbR2iSJ5UVndm4QwHlXDi8wgIWKHLE5CAEE_Afg_bmZwExdfHgyB-3mpqUbyKtdykEic3lO2QP3NiC6lpXQflEmzbd2WlcwFE0KFg_1Erbg2-ct5vOseEM/s1600/Decorative+Ornaments.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQNLizHeFf3MnHWXbFiLm8OHQbR2iSJ5UVndm4QwHlXDi8wgIWKHLE5CAEE_Afg_bmZwExdfHgyB-3mpqUbyKtdykEic3lO2QP3NiC6lpXQflEmzbd2WlcwFE0KFg_1Erbg2-ct5vOseEM/s320/Decorative+Ornaments.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538723663944531202" /></a><br /><br /><br />This is another one of the cards that I have made to sell.

I think there is something wrong with my camera and it is not that old. Then again maybe it is the user. I better check the manual. The picture is a bit yellow I think.<br /><br />It has been so nice to get back to making cards again. I decided it was time to get a start on my Christmas Cards. I would really like to sell alot of them this year. I was too late last year and sold none. <br /><br />Christmas cards are my favorite to make. I just wish that I could spend more time coloring but for now I am trying to make my cards with little to no coloring. <br /><br />This card is make using some DP from SU from last year. I just love the colors. I think they really look good together.<br /><br />This year I found it hard to get some Christmas Paper that I was happy with so me and my friend Kelly had to order most of our paper online. I find the paper selection this year at Michael's wasn't that much and the patterns are just too large. I find most of the patterned papear the images area too big and I don't do scrapbooking so there is alot of wastage. I did get some awesome paper today thanks to Kelly. I am hoping to get to use it really soon.<br /><br />I have a number of cards to show you over the next few days. <br /><br />Must get back at making more before it gets too late.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your evening.Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-80603331876376238192010-11-08T20:39:00.004-03:302010-11-08T20:48:32.059-03:30Back In the Saddle Again and Copic CertificationWell I am finally getting back to making some cards again. Am doing much better and I am back to work part time right now. I have made a few cards that I am hoping to show you over the next few days. Hope you come back and take a look.<br /><br />Copic Certification<br /><br />I have been emailing a representative from Copic asking that we have a Copic Certification Class in St. John's, Newfoundland and I was advised that if I can get 25 people interested then they would consider coming here and doing a class.<br /><br />So if you are from Newfoundland and intested in becoming Copic Certified then please contact me by leaving a message or by email.<br /><br />So far the copic people are going as far as Halifax for classes. We are really hoping to get them to come a little further so that we can learn more about those awesome markers. If you have used them then you know how awesome they are. <br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your eveningKaren Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765701180714867538.post-48105109636902685572010-09-23T12:33:00.003-02:302010-09-23T12:36:14.936-02:30Still Around!Hello everyone.

Over the past few years I have used it often. I bought two others sets to go with this one and used the Loads of Fun with this for the trailer. I had so much fun making this. The coloring made me feel like a little kid again. I think that is one of the reasons I love making cards. I get to color.<br /><br />The paper is from basic grey. I got to use my favorite tools of all time the Cuttlebug and nestabilities. I don't make too many cards since I bought the nestabilities that I don't use them on. I really like the look of it.<br /><br />Well tomorrow is Friday again. I must say that I found this week went by pretty quickly. I hope it slows down for the weekend.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!Karen Gladneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733650592786158260noreply@blogger.com0
