Hi, long time no blogging! I have been busy working and a few changes at home. So, I've had no time to really create. I did make some really cute christmas cards, but I gave them away and forgot to get pictures of them. Instead of creating I have been watching alot of movies that I get at the library for free and reading alot too. Did I tell you I work at the Library, yes I do and love it!
But, the craft bug has been making me really itchy lately. So I'm dying to get back to creating and blogging! My Etsy Shop is still full and I keep updating it. Santa Claus is getting me a new Sewing Machine, Yipeee!! Sewing is something that I've been wanting to start getting into. I have whole sewing project sitting on my craft desk, but couldn't complete it because my sewing machine wasn't working. The project was going to be a beverage cozy, that I was going to give as christmas presents. Oh well, I will give them out as New Years gifts instead!
I want to wish all of you that read my blog or pop in to visit a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! May God Bless You Now And Next Year!!! Hugs, Karrie

Happy Birthday Cards
Hello, I did mention in my last post that I have Birthday cards galore, well see what I mean now! Here is two more and I still have another three to post as well. So, here as you can see is more Basic Grey patterned paper, this one is Shine On a super cute and fun paper!
I know this one was designed from a card sketch but I cant remember which one??? Sorry!!!
Aren't the cupcakes cute with their colorful colors! The sentiment is a Close To My Heart stamp, which seems to be my favorite at the moment. The cupcake is a stamp from Hampton Art, I double stamped it, first on cream colored cardstock and then on white cardstock. I wanted a soft color for the background of the cupcake. Colored the white cardstock stamped image with Tombow Markers, cut it out and glued it on to the cream colored cardstock and inked the edges. All the inked edges are inked up from Inkadinkadoo chalk ink pads. And then I added the little red rhinestone for bling!
This guy was supposed to be entered in a Freshly Made Sketch Challenge but did not make it on time hhmph. The sentiment is from You're So Sweet stamp set by Adam Pescott. I added some bling from Basic Grey rhinestones. So there you have it! Two more easy and simple cards!

Simple and Sweet Birthday Cards
Hi, it's Birthday cards galore here on my craft desk! Two simple and sweet cards made with the lovely and super cute Basic Grey Serendipity patterned papers. This first one is a easy card design, using scraps placed apart makes a neat look, cut a rectangle out corner punched it and put a hole punch for the thread placed it on 3D foam square, stamped it with a Close To My Heart stamps, cut the flower shapes and leaves from Cricuts Flower Shoppe Cartridge.
This next one is made with the same patterned paper and just added a printed out digi stamp from Beccy Muir at Beccysplace.blogspot.com. Colored the flower with Tombow markers and inked up the edges and all over it with a light pink chalk ink pad from Studio G, you know those ones that Micheals has for 1.00. I love using those for inking edges. I think covering the whole label with a soft pink helps blend in with the patterned papers and not stand out if it was white. Oh and I punched the bottom yellow paper too!
These two cards will be sold together in my Etsy Shop:

Stamping, Tagging and Cricuting
Hello, I have four little cards to share today. I made these a few months ago, playing with some new stamps, a tag booklet and Cricut Flower Shoppe Cartridge. This first one has a tag that I punched a border on the top of it, used some packaging and cut out the nice soft green floral background, the little red labels sentiments and made a flower from the Cricut cartidge. Making these flowers is great way to use up old patterned papers.
This one has a large background stamp from Ditto/Hampton Arts, Cricut Flower Shoppe flowers, a printed tag. Easy peasy!
Here is another one with a tag that has its top cut off, stamped the Unity Stamp sentiment on the middle of the tag, punched border made from more nice packaging and punched flowers. Not sure you can see that the edges of the card are stamped lightly with a border stamp. Also, easy peasy!!
Hmm, this just might be my favorite, I love little birdies and bees! This tag I left it alone, didn't cut it or punch it, just wrapped the organza ribbon around and tied it right in the middle of the tag hole. Stamped the edges lightly with a border stamp. Used some scrap Close To My Heart textured cardstock to make the border on top using the Spellbinders Fleur De Li's Rectangle. I love the colors too!! ;)
These two will be sold together in my Etsy Shop!
As well as these two!!

heart chipboard shapes that I embossed with Sizzix's folders and painted with Plaid Acrylic paints!
It was really fun to take my chipboard shapes and emboss them with different patterns. I finally got
to use some here with this card. Oh wait I did use one on baby card, it was tag with swiss dots. Something you should try doing, once you start embossing them you'll be grabbing more shapes to transform into something unique!! Have fun playing!!

Celebrate Every Moment Mini Scrapbook
Aaww, celebrate every moment!! Such a great feeling of happiness to cherish our lifes moments, even if its in a little mini scrapbook.
While perusing the aisles of Jo-Anns, what do I see Basic Grey!?! What BG is at Jo's, suuwweet!! I fell in love with this little Serendipity & Shine On printed chipboard album. It came with 5 boards, of course I had get the most out of it so I split it up to make two mini's. Also, got the two matching 6x6 paper pads. I didn't like that the one mini would have three boards and the other one only two boards. So, being super crafty I cut a chipboard peice to match and put paper on it and wha-la an embellished album! The other one is going to be a "birthday" mini scrapbook. This one was made with Basic Grey Serendipity patterned papers, a peice of Bazzill cardstock, Heidi Grace metal accents, brads by American Crafts and K&Co., Pebbles ribbon, twine, Spellbinders diecuts, Martha Stewart border punches, Cricut diecuts, CK rub-ons.
