Wed. 2/1/2012 It's February Already!!

Good morning!  I needed to make another sympathy card this week, and I really love this rose bud from Mark's Finest Papers new "Love Remains" stamp set. I stamped with Memento and colored with Copic markers. After cutting it out I popped it up on oval Nesties, both plain and scalloped. The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs "Not Forgotten" set. 

 So happy you stopped by!   ...Karen

Sun. Jan. 15, 2012 Free for All Challenge F4A98

Good morning everyone!  Are you getting some winter weather?  We have had quite a change since last Wednesday, when it got to 50°  I guess now we will appreciate Spring even more when it gets here! LOL

I made this one for a challenge at SCS.  Make a “potpourri” by adding the following elements:

1. A 3-D Flower (or more than one, if you'd like!)
2. A gem or gems (rhinestone, pearl, etc.)
3. Embossing Folder
4. Diecut/Punch
5. Designer/Patterned Paper

I think I have all the bases covered with this card.  I had a lot of fun creating this felt flower. The leaves and the sentiment are from two different MFP sets:  Winter Crocus and Love Remains.

Thanks for visiting!   ...Karen

Fri. Jan. 13, 2012 MFP Sneak Peeks

 I used two sentiments from Mark's Finest Papers "Love Remains" stamp set.  This new set will be available HERE, on Tuesday Jan. 17th. This card is for the Moxie Fab World challenge.

My next card  uses an image from the MFP  set called "Cowgirls Rule".  Our release hop starts on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012.  I colored this with my fave Copic markers.

That's it for me today!   ....Karen
