Cardinal Christmas!

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.
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.

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.

I still have a couple of cards from the Basic Grey kit to show you. Come back tomorrow for a peak.

Enjoy your evening!

Cricut Snowmen!

Good evening all. 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.

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.

Come back again tomorrow as I have another new card that I have made to show you.

Enjoy your evening

Hope You Enjoyed Your Weekend!

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.

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.

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.

Enjoy what is left of your evening.

Continuining On With Jovial Card Kit

Sorry I missed last night but I have had a couple of difficult days at work for my neck. Had to relax a bit more.

I really like the look of this card. I can't wait till I get my Jovial paper that I ordered with my freind Kelly. I am hoping to be inspired by the paper.

I still have more cards to show you in this kit. Come back tomorrow for another card in the Jovial Card Kit.

Enjoy your evening!

Moving On With the Jovial Kit

This is the fourth card from the Jovial kit. 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.

Hopefully this week I will get more cards stamped and I may even get some of them colored.

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.

Well today is hump day.

Enjoy your evening.

I have another card to show you tomorrow.

Still Working on the Jovial Card Kit

Here is another card made with the Basic Grey Jovial card kit. I have to say that so far I like this one the least. It just doesn't do it for me for some reason. I think it is a bit too plain for me.

I still have a few more cards to show you from this kit. There are a few really nice ones coming in the near future as well.

Be back tomorrow with another one to show you.

Enjoy your day :-)

Another Card From The Jovial Kit!

This is antoher card from the Jovial Card Kit. I like the ease of these cards and I really like the colors in this one. I guess for some it will be too dark but I think it is a nice addition to my Christmas Cards. I really like the long cards and for some reason I haven't done any of these in a long time.

Will be back tomorrow with another card from the kit to show you.

Hope you are enjoying your week so far.

First Card from the Jovial Card Kit!

This card was made with the Basic Grey Kit called Jovial. It is the fist time that I
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.

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.

I have more of these cards to show you over the next few days.

Scenic Season

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.

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.

Gotta go and enjoy some more of your day

Come back tomorrow and I have some cards from a basic grey card kit to shart showing you.

Enjoy your day!

Delightful Decoration

This is another one of the cards that I have made to sell. I am not quite sure if I really like it or not but I think that it will do. This set is just so versatile and you will probably see more creations that I make with it.

Hope you are enjoying your day where ever you are from. Today is just a georgeous day here in Newfoundland so I am off to take my dog for a walk to enjoy a bit more of the day.

I will be back tomorrow with another of my Christmas Creations. I hope you won't get too sick of looking at Christmas cards because I do plan on making alot more of them yet.

Next week I will have my new Su papers and I have some ideas for that paper going around in my head already.

Stay tuned soon

Take care

Starting On Christmas

You will have to excuse the picture quality. 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.

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.

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.

This card is make using some DP from SU from last year. I just love the colors. I think they really look good together.

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.

I have a number of cards to show you over the next few days.

Must get back at making more before it gets too late.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Back In the Saddle Again and Copic Certification

Well 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.

Copic Certification

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.

So if you are from Newfoundland and intested in becoming Copic Certified then please contact me by leaving a message or by email.

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.

Enjoy the rest of your evening

Still Around!

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful summer.

I wanted to let you know that I am still off work and still unable to do much of anything. I saw the doctor today and he is going to keep me off work for another month so I will be off work till at least the end of October. I am really hoping to be better by then.

Thanks for checking in!

Take care

Karen

Personal Note!

I have to appologize for not posting lately. I have been dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck and it is causing me alot of pain down my arm and a couple of my fingers are going numb.

I am presently going to Physio and hope that it will help and I will be back at making cards really soon. I have to say that I really do miss making cards.

Enjoy your summer. It doesn't last long enough.

Hoping to be back real soon.

Take care

Karen

With Loads of Love!

With Loads of Love

I made this card for my DH for Father's Day with one of the first sets of stamps that I ever bought from SU. 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.

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.

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.

Enjoy your weekend!

What An Old "Kroner"

I bought this stamp a little while ago when me and my friend Kelly placed an order with Whipper Snapper. God love Kelly as she always asks me if I would like to place and order with her so we can save on the shipping. Works out well for both of us. We both love their stamps. This stamp is from their new spring collection and it is called “Kroner”. I needed some more masculine stamps and this one fit the bill perfectly. I do have others but I have not put them to the ink yet. I am hoping to really soon.

I made this card for my Dad for Fathers Day. It worked out so well. I got to use my favorite SU template the “Top” Note” it if one of my favorites. It is just so versatile.

The paper is from basic grey and it is colored with Copic markers. They definitely are my favorite coloring medium for awhile now. Before I got these I used to love my watercolored crayons but I have to say that the copics are just so nice and bright.

Just a short note tonight as I haven't even had supper yet and it is almost 10:00. DH is in the kitchen as we speak making us supper. God love him.

Will be back tomorrow night with another Father's Day card to show you. One that I made for my DH using one of my favorite and first SU sets Loads of Love.

Hope you all are enjoying your evening.

Take care

I am sorry that I haven't been back in awhile but I have been dealing with some things. I have been having alot of problem with numbness in my left arm. I find the more I use it the worse it gets. I had this before and it went away. I am really hoping that this time it will just go away also.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer. For us her in Newfoundland we really thought that the weather was improving Easter time as the temperatures were way above normal but it seems lately the only thing you can say about the weather is that it just sucks. We all long for such a nice summer when we can get together with friends and have bbq's etc and maybe even go for a nice walk. Hopefully before the summer is over we will get some weather that we can enjoy. I just hate being stuck inside. We do enough of that in the winter. Anyway, enough about the crappy weather. .

I bought this set at Saleabration time. This is the first time that I got to use it. I really like how the paper matches the stamp set. So nice when you can get things for free. I just love that. I made this card as a thank you card to give to my Dad for doing something really special for us . He really like it and I got a chance to do a bit more stamping as well. I actually got up on Father's Day at 7:20 in the morning and never came out of my stamproom until 11:30. I made three cards. Amazing how quickly time goes when you are working on cards. This is also the first time that I used the in color paper from SU. I really like them. I will be back again tomorrow with the first of two Father's Day cards that I made for my Dad and DH.

Enjoy your day !

Giant Bird Punch!

Back again. Wow! This is the third night in a row now. Feels good to be back at it again. Been way too long.

Guess we have all been through those times when you just can't seem to get back at it for one reason or another. Life just seems to get in the way. In my family May is pretty busy with birthdays. I even had one on the 15th.

I bought this punch a little while ago now and have wanted to use it every since. This design kept going around in my head and I am so glad to finally have it out. For two nights it was all I thought about going to sleep and even had trouble getting to sleep. Silly I know but so true.

I have to say that I really like these two colors together. They really go together I think. They are Rose Red and Certainly Celery. The new scallop punch but SU is so cute too. I found it so hard to resist buying it. I have the corner one too but haven't figured out how to use the two of them together yet.

I probably won't be back until Saturday so enjoy your weekend and I look forward to showing you something new then.

Take care

Cheers!

Staci's 17th Birthday!

I made this card for my daughter birthday yesterday. She just loves to go shopping so I thought this would be appropriate for sure. Not being a shopper myself this drives me nuts. She always wants to go looking around.

I have had this dp for awhile now and thought that it was quite fitting for this card. The bottom of the card is using one of the new SU plates. I found them hard to use in my cuttlebug. The sandwich is hard to figure. If anyone knows it would they please drop me a line. They are nice though.

Believe it or not my friends I actually have another card to show you tomorrow using the new Giant Bird Punch.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Cheers!

Dad's 75th Birthday!

I know that it has been a long time since I was here last. Hopefully I am back on a roll again and will keep at it. I have missed making cards and not making one for awhile too longer than before. I don't know how many pieces of paper that I ruined I got it right. Out of practic I guess. After you read this you must be thinking to yourself that she must be out of practice for taking pictures too. Yes I am. I am not at all pleased with how this picture turned out. It is a bit blurry. Don't you just hate that.

I was having trouble with the layout for this card so my dh helped me out with this one. He even helped me pick out the colors. Thanks Ev. Love you. I must have colored this card at least four times before I was happy with it. This card just had to be special. I made it for my Dad's 75th birthday. I was pleased with how it turned out and my Dad really liked it too. So the work was well worth it.

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend if you were in Canada and this coming weekend for you all in the States. Enjoy.

I am back to work tomorrow. You know can't wait. Would rather have a tooth pulled. Oh well, like the old saying "I owe, I owe so off to work I go".

I will be back tomorrow night with another card that I made for my daughters birthday today.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Cheers
