Hello Everybody!
Hope everyone is in good health and are enjoying these frosty days that we've been having. We're supposed to be having ice accumulation but I've not seen it yet. Thank goodness....hate driving in the stuff.
So, here is my take on a Magnolia Valentine. I just received my Koala Hugs in the mail and couldn't resist coloring her up. Isn't she just the cutest! I'm so glad that Diana got her in because I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. I also ordered Tilda with a small gift and Tilda with a Daisy.
Plus, today I'm excited because I got in the new Copics! I can't wait to try them out either. All the colors look so purty!
I'm still battling the depression and bipolar disorder. I'm back to work now and I have to fight myself to stay at work. Some days are rougher than others but I'm still hanging in there.
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Well, I guess that is all for now. I need to go so I can pick up my son from Cadet Challenge. He is in Jr ROTC and just loves it. We also go this week for him to test for the learners also. Oh boy.
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello All,
Well, Christmas is over and It's that time of year when we plan and start new beginnings! I am well onto my journey. I actually started on December 2nd lol.
Over on Suzanna's site: Scrapbitz.ninghttp://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/group/smash-book-scrapbooking-journal-group she has started an area called We R Smash Bookin! So head on over there now to see what all the hooplah is about! I am sure you all will be as excited as we are!
One of my goals is to eat healthy for weight loss. My husband has promised me a trip to the Bahamas! Yes, that is right....the Bahamas if I can get my weight down. So, of course I put a picture of the Bahamas on my first page!
Now, I made my first page pretty simple/basic. I didn't go all out because I don't think I'm that creative. But, that is one of the things on my wish list is to be more creative so we'll see what the next page and challenge brings!
Happy New Year everyone!
Hello My Friends,
Today I wish to share with you my first New Years Card. I used Tilda with Big Ribbon because I haven't purchase any Magnolia's in a while due to being off of work with my Bipolar and my depression. I just recently went back to work so my first thing I'm going to do is buy some Maggie's.
I would like to enter her into the following challenges:
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and are going to have a fabulous New Years. Well, I guess that is all for now.
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello,
I wanted to show you guys what I've been working on. It is a candy bar wrapper! Neat huh? I thought so when I saw Kathryn at the Scrap Beach demonstrate it on her Ustream channel. I've made 5 of them for my kids. The candy bar used is a Ghirardelli.
They are fun and super easy to make!
I am looking forward to Christmas morning. I've only got two or three more gifts to get then I'm all done thank goodness.
Man oh man am I bummed!!!!
I just had my husband look at all 10 of my Christmas cards that I've made for this year and he said that maybe someone would like to get them for Christmas but he'd rather send out store bought ones :(
So, I am a little bit bummed.....This is actually depressing. Is it just that he's a guy or what? When I post my cards, I get such lovely comments. Maybe I should just break down and let him buy some Thomas Kincade cards and send them out.
Hope everyone else is having a better day than I'm having.
Hugs,
Carolyn
Happy Saturday to ya!
This is a card for the TOMIC Challenge! I'm in at the last minute! I can't believe how fast I put this card together. Well, maybe you can tell lol. I really liked the sketch that they used and couldn't resist making a card from it.
I made my own background paper thanks to Jennifer McQuire with the Holiday Card Bootcamp. I used watercolor paper and Tim Holtz Distress Inks then used my Snowflake embossing folder to press.
Well, I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I need to get this posted lol.
Hugs,
Carolyn
Hello Everyone!
I couldn't resist making another one of Caludia Rosa's paper bag cards! They are so addictive!!
This one is made from the Little Yellow Bicycle papers and Prima flowers of course. I'm pleased as puddin' how this one turned out.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful crafting day!
Hugs,
Carolyn
