Keep your friends close...

Hi crafters and blog readers!- I'm back late this evening with a new card share.  I have a friend that is also my co- worker that is transferring dept. and I wanted to make her a card just to let her know that I will miss her, but I'm happy for her new venture.  Like most of the cards I make- I make on a whim.  Sometimes I have an idea, but most of the time I just randomly grab my paper, inks, and other supplies and see what comes of it.  I like most of all the cards I make, but this one, feels some what different for me. Not sure why, but I like it!!  I'm glad that we are half way in the week, and looking to the weekend.  It is suppose to be warmer temps here.  I hope so, for my hubby's sake.  He has been wanting to play golf, and it is so much harder during the winter months.
Anyway- back to my card- I kind got off track there, didn't I?  So sorry- here is tonight's card.

 

 






















It was time to use some more scraps.  I am trying so hard to use things that haven't been used yet, before I get into new paper.  I have many die cuts, and other embellishments, not to mention a lot of scrap card stock that needs to be used.  I am sure I am not telling you paper crafters anything new when it comes to scraps.  The only thing new I used for this card is the embossing folder that looks like buttons at the bottom, other than that the butterfly and the handmade flower I have been meaning to use for a long while, but felt I didn't have a place for them, till now! Hope you all like this card as I do.  I need to wrap up this post for tonight.  I'm gonna get something to calm my sweet tooth and then head to bed.  Night my friends!!

Stay Inspired!!

So glad its Friday!

Hi blog readers!- I wanted to pop in and share this card I just finished with you all.  First- hope everyone's week was good.  Mine, it never changes- meaning it continues to stay busy, busy like a bee!  Lots of new changes happening in my dept. right now.  Sometimes, change is good.  I am still trying to get back in my groove.  I feel like I am not there yet, but I still crank out a card or two.  So- let me go ahead and show you the one I made this evening.

I mentioned  before in a previous post that I like to make cards for my co- workers for who ever gets the Employee of the Month award each month- well- this one was made for a special lady who received the highest honor- Employee of the Year, and I wanted to make her a special card as well.  She has to love it, because it has green it in!  She loves green!!  ** Love ya Jess**.  Anyway, the "dimensions" on the card with the circles is a different thing for me.  I literally just saw some scraps that I needed to use in my scrap pile, and did what I could with some of them, and this is what it turned out to be.  Not bad.  So- have any of you check out my first You Tube video from my previous post before this one?  It was mainly a test, and me just having fun with my girl Daisy.  She loves the attention.  I will have an "official" card related video up soon!  I promise!  Well- I'm going to get back to surfing the web and see more ideas of how I can improve my craft space.  There are still so many things I would like to do.  I have a touch of OCD I think!!  UGH!  :o)

Night readers!

Stay Inspired!,

Another year older - another year wiser?

Happy Thursday everyone.  It is the eve of my 34th birthday, and I am thinking to myself where have the years gone..I still feel like I should be 18!  I guess all of us ask ourselves where time goes.  I am very blessed to be happily married to my husband.  I am thankful for many things.  I will tell you this year has flown by for sure.  I still can't believe that I have been doing my hobby of card making for a little over a year.  I have learned so much, and love it more and more each day.  Since it is my birthday ( Friday)- how about a Birthday card! 

This card is one of my "earlier" cards I made.  Actually, to tell you the truth, I was over at a friend's house, and we were hanging out, and I made this card just from her scraps!  Not bad for scraps!  I also love, love butterflies.  It has some of my favorite elements in it, butterflies, bright colors, especially purple. 

I would love to hear what any of you think of the cards that I post on my blog.  I do not get too much feedback, positive or otherwise.  When hearing from others, I feel I would get better, and change the things that would need to be improved.  I do realize, my style is just that, but I only want to strive and continue to get better in making my cards. 

On that note, I am closing the post up for tonight.  Thank you to those that take the time and look at my blog, whether you comment or not.  I appreciate it so much! Happy Birthday to me!!  :o) 

Stay well friends,

-Kari
