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...
Pastor's Birthday Card
 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!!

Wow, Omega, you have been busy. These cards are lovely. I was looking at the punched circle (now that I know the technique you used...lol) and was wondering which die set it was from. Now I know!!! Your nieces are sooo lucky to have you for their auntie. Thanks for the mention of my blog and YouTube Channel.
Hugs,
Vee

Hi Karen,
I was hoping to email you but couldn't find a link. I wish I could participate but right now it's difficult for me to find the time during the week. I try to get online sometimes on my lunch break but my evening are already otherwies engaged. I do what I can on the weekends but it's hard to keep up with deadlines. I'm new at all this and do have some question for future reference.

Thanks for the invite and I hope to participate in the near future so please keep me in mind.

You certainly have been busy Ms. Omega. I was just out looking around blog land and came across your blog. I think all of your cards are great, but my favorite is the blouse/shirt card. It is just way cute and different. I will be back for another look.

I am in the middle of a birthday blog candy and If you would like to join me in celebrating come on over to my blog and join me...
