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!!

Hope Your Holiday was Wonderful!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!   I know I'm late at the punch, it's been a very busy few weeks lately.  I did manage to make Christmas card to give to family & friend and a few sets of monogrammed note card as gifts for a few close friends.  My pictures didn't turn out nearly as good as I hoped but here are pics of my Christmas cards, gift bags & the monogrammed note cards:

 

Well that's it for now.  More to come in the New Year.

I want to wish everyone a Safe, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Happy Crafting!!

Thank You Cards...

I had a wonderful birthday last week and received many Happy Birthday wishes and special gifts.  So, I made a few Thank-You cards this week to give to my wonderful friends & family.

On the one below I used the scoring technique to create the diamond pattern that I just learned from Gina K's Stamp TV site.  It doesn't so up quite so well in the picture but it's really beautiful.  It reminds me of quilting.   I'm sure I'll use this technique many times. 

I Just wanted to pop in to share what I managed to do this week.  I wish I had more time...hope to do more this weekend.

Happy Crafting!!
