The past few months of cards...

Hi Card friends...

Happy Monday, hope it finds you feeling inspired to make something cute! I need to find more time to feel inspired and crafty, I find I've been making cards only when I need them, not when I just want to. I find I make the card not feeling inspired, and I think I need to start trying to just make cards when the mood strikes. Then I can tuck the cards away for when I need them. I think making a list of cards I'd need in the future would be a good idea, then when the card making mood strikes, I can look at my list and start crafting. Then I won't feel so rushed when I need a card for a specific reason, I'll already have them done. Just some random rambling from me this Monday morning!

A card for Brandon's Nana's birthday... stamp sets used, Every Little Bit & Think Happy Thoughts... Love using my stamp'n write markers to color it in!

This was my first BIG all in the family creation... don't know if I shared this before... it was for my father-in-law's birthday... it's the whole BING family!

Another "All in the Family" creation, used for my friend Kerry's Birthday, had to finish this one off in the dark since the power went out!

A little Christmas Card for my friend Terri... again used "Every Little Bit" and "Think Happy Thoughts". I love using a stamp to create a back drop!! Also loved this color combo... why can't pink be for Christmas- right??

This was a little welcome baby card for my new niece Alexis back in November... "Every Little Bit" used again... it's a stamp set that I would recommend for sure... so many uses!

This was a goodbye card for a friend who was moving to Australia, I thought the little world people was a great choice since she was moving across the world... "The World Over".

Hope my moments of inspiration, inspire you to make something cute today!! If you have a card you'd love to share with our card making friends, please e-mail them to Kathy or I and we'd love to post them on here for everyone to see!

Have a great day!

Karen

More Valentines...

So I was inspired by the owl punch and the cheesy line "Whoooo loves you" this Valentine's day... I also was inspired by a little valentines card Kathy had shown me when I made Brandon's card. I loved the Designer's series Valentines paper and the glimmer paper in red... it's SUPER pretty. I used my new three heart punch a lot this month and would recommend it to everyone!! Hope you enjoy my little valentines glimpse...

Brandon's Valentines Card... Red, White, pink and Grey... really loved the color scheme...

These were the cards I made for our family members... in a few color combo's... Pinks...

Pinks and Reds...

Pink, Red and Grey....

Here they are all together... hope you all had a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Love is in the air......

Valentines Day is just around the corner and I've been having fun making some Valentine things. I have a little idea for my kids for next week but it will wait until then. We don't go crazy here at valentines.....just maybe a little surprise with their valentines but nothing big. Too many people turn every holiday into an excuse to buy presents for their kids.....not me.....we like to keep it simple here!!! So here are a couple of things I've been working on.....

A little basket filled with "hugs & kisses"
