Back in Action...

I can't believe this my first post of this year.   It's been so busy at work & with family activities it's been a whirlwind.  I have however been making a few cards here and there.  It's so nice when I do get the chance to do my crafting.  Here are a few of the cards I've made lately...

 This one I made of one of niece's birthday earlier this month  & she loved it!

 This one was for my Pastor's birthday...

 These two cards are going to a couple of my nieces that live in another state...

I just want them to know auntie is thinking about them. I used a few new (to me) techniques making these cards.  With the second one I tried a few thing I discovered on YouTube, On the circle I embellished it using the technique in this YouTube link about using border punches in a circle or oval.  The crafter in this video is brilliant, her name is Veronica and this is also a link to her blog.  The ribbon I used was not the right color so I colored it with one of my COPIC makers, E15 is the color I used.  The pearl like embellishments I used on the ribbon is a technique using my hot glue gun and Perfect Pearl powder. Here is the YouTube video for that technique...Hot Glue Gun Pearls. 

I love all the discoveries I've been making on YouTube.  I often amazed at the genius and brilliance I discover from others and I hope all these discoveries are stoking my creative imagination.

I left this one blank inside for now, I'll use it for someone special when I feel they need a special lift.



Well, that's it for now...

Happy Scrappin' & Card making!!
