Hello All,
Here is my 2nd Magnolia Christmas Card. Edwin is so cute tangled in the Christmas lights. He reminds me of my husband untangling lights but also because he used to be a IBEW Electrician.
Now, if they would do a Tilda getting tangled in Christmas lights, I could say it would be my oldest daughter lol as she is following in her Dad's footsteps in becoming an IBEW electrician. IBEW is International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union. She is an apprentice electrician at the moment.
I am sad to say that at the moment, I only have two magnolia Christmas stamps. When I return to work and get caught up on my bills, I'm going to have to buy some of the new 2011 Christmas magnolia stamps lol. I can't wait as I have a wish list of the new ones. Plus, Christmas is only 54 days away. Oh my, I still need to Christmas shop as I only have one gift at the moment!
Well, that is all for right now. I hope everyone has a wonderful scrappy day!
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello All,
Here is my card for the Bookendz challenge. I can't believe that I finally got one put together.
Things are finally going well for me health wise. I am feeling much better. As long as I remember to take my meds I guess I'll be doing well.
I just got back from a scrapbooking retreat in Logan County WV. We were at the Chief Logan Lodge for two days. It was pretty good. I had a good time with my oldest daughter Danielle. I didn't get much done, only 4 layouts but at least I got something done lol.
Well, that is it for now.
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello Ladies!
Here is my new card! It is a "Get Well" card!
Hope everyone is doing well. I am feeling pretty well. It seems my meds are working fine for the moment.
We had a wonderful weekend. We took our family to Kings Island in Cincinnati OH for the Fright Fest. They had 16 haunted houses and the park was open til 1am. I didn't last that long though, I took the bus the hotel provided and headed back to the hotel at 10pm and left my husband and our kids and significant others to enjoy the rest of the evening.
I am looking forward to this weekend though. My oldest daughter and I are going to a Scrapbooking Crop at Chief Logan Resort and Lodge in Logan WV with a bunch of friends. Hopefully I don't forget to take my camera so I can get lots of pictures for a future scrapbook page!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Until we meet again,
Hugs,

Hello All,
I'm having a better day today than I've had in a while. For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with Depression and Bipolar two years ago. I've had my ups and downs but a few weeks ago I hit a big bottom and it wasn't pretty. So, my DR upped my meds and has me off work for a few more weeks to let the meds even out. Plus, my Thyroid is acting up again and that is not helping matters either. But the good news is that the meds are working, they are just slow. The other thing is my wallet is taking a big hit with being off which really sucks lol! I am not able to afford my crafting supplies while I'm off.
I made my first Christmas Card yesterday and thought I'd share. I am also working on a tissue box cover for Christmas but I'm not done decorating it yet, or I'd share. But here is the link for the directions if you guys would like to take a look. It is super cute. And I saw the idea first from Sharon Caudle's blog. Sharon's tissue box cover is absolutely outstanding!
I'd like to enter this card into the Just Magnolia Challenge for distressing.
Well, here is the Canvas that I finished after taking a class with Jennifer McGuire. This was the second class I've taken from her and it was great learning all the different techniques. The word "create" is over too far. I thought I could squeeze in one more butterfly. We learned 22 different techniques and I could only get 18 of them on the 12 x 12 canvas.
Well, I guess that is it for me today. Hope all of you have a wonderful crafty day!
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello All,
Here is my current card. I feel that she is missing something, but, then again I feel that way with all my cards lol. I don't usually put a sentiment on my cards. Don't ask my why. I just don't. I need to start adding one that is for sure. I used a pink "spica" pen on the flower, but you can't tell.
I am going to enter this card into the following challenges: Just Magnolia and Anglar and the CMC Copic Challenge.
Well that is it for now.
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello All,
Been MIA for a few weeks. Been feeling under the weather. Hopefully though, I'm hoping to feel better soon.
Been working on a canvas that Jennifer McGuire taught for Online Card Class. It's been interesting learning all the things you can do with Distress Inks. It may take a few weeks, but I'll have a picture posted of the canvas when I'm done. I've completed 15 of the 23 techniques so far.
Here is my latest Tilda card. I'd like to enter her into the Magnolia Licious Challenge, the Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Challenge and the Magnolia Down Under Challenge.
Well, I guess that is all for now.
Hugs,
Carolyn
