Karen's Craft Creations

My daughter only has one more semester of nursing school and she wanted me to make a card to give her instructor.   She will take her last class this fall, wished they offered it in the summer so she could get finished, so does she.     I found this cute image at http://www.pinkcatstudio.com/ .   I have been looking for something and just happened upon this one. Blue is the color of her college uniform so I tried to match it as close as possible.   I added a few flowers from the flower shoppe cartridge and a sentiment from TBBM2.   I used a spellbinder to cut out the digi print.   I like the way it turned out and I hope my daughter does also.

Sorry I don't have more time for a post today, Mark is off and we are going to work on the shower.  I had a chance to make a card for my daughter in law, her birthday is next month. I really like these images from the forever young cartridge and I gave them lost of bling. The sentiment was printed off the computer in the minya nouvelle font. Thanks for stopping by, have a great Thursday. I will be entering this in the following challenge: http://www.cookingwithcricut.com/2012/04/cooking-with-cricut-83-bling-bling-more.html

My mom finally felt better today so we went out to eat and to WM.   We didn’t stay long but at least she got out for a while.   I made a cute card today for several challenges.   This is a digi design that I got through free digital designs blog.   This is an awesome site, you can get lots of great designs (see side board for link).   B lack is the main pattern for this card with the pins and ribbon, but I used white pearls. I was a little worried about the pins sticking the person I will send it to Putting hot glue on the ends worked out well, I could not stick my finger after putting it on there.     I will be entering this in the following challenges: http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/2012/04/challenge-62-pearls-pins-punches.html http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2012/04/shopping-our-stash-challenge-49-starts.html http://ribboncarouselchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/04/rcc50-anything-goes-with-there-she-goes.html http://celebratet...

I have not been feeling well this weekend, but today I am somewhat better.   This ever changing weather on north Texas is getting a lot of people sick.   My mom has had a cough for almost a month now.   I did squeeze in a little time in my craft room this afternoon and made this card.   I purchased this digi print online somewhere; I have had it a few years and don’t remember where I got it.   The flowers are Recollections, the paper is DCWV and a spellbinder die for the cut.   I used the sketch from simon says and the color challenge from cardz TV.   Thanks for stopping by hope you have a great remainder of a weekend.

I got a cute card finished today.   I used Kate’s ABC cartridge, this is my first cut from this cart and it is so cute.   There are a lot of little pieces, but it is cute I know I will use it again soon. The paper is from a DCWV stack.   I think it turned out nice and I hope you like it too.   Thanks for stopping by have a wonderful weekend.

I have been doing a lot of stuff for my mom today, but I did get one card made.   I used the fresh picked cartridge and a DCWV stack that had 70% recycled paper called the green stack.   I think it turned out nice and I hope you like it too.   Thanks for stopping by have a wonderful remainder of the week.  I will be entering this in the following challenges: http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/2012/04/challenge-61-gardens.html http://dreamvalleychallenges.blogspot.com/2012/04/challenge-30-earth-tones.html http://www.scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com/2012/04/terrific-tuesday-challenge-anything-on.html

Well I finally have my house back.   All last week we had contractors in here putting the new ceiling up.   I looks great and I am glad to have more insulation in, as the hot weather will be here soon.   Today I found a photo of my husband and I from 2007 taken in front of our Church.   The paper is some I have had for several years, I don’t remember what stack it came from.   The yellow and flower mat are from SU along with the ribbon for the bow. The mat was made using elegant edges card and the bird is from give a hoot.   The flowers are from K&Company.   I think it turned out very nice and   I will be giving it a place in my current scrapbook.   I will be entering this in the following challenges: http://houseofgilli.blogspot.ca http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-13-original-sketch-by-debbie.html http://gofishchallenges.blogspot.com/2012/04/go-fish-challenge-15.html http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/0...
