Tues.,Oct. 30, 2012 a gkd Challenge

This is a card I made for Regina's Challenge, STV12MON43 for StampTV.
 I used Gina's stamp set named Merry Little Christmas
 and Rebecca Oehler's Mistletoe Memories STV set on this card, along with Distress ink.

 I hope this card warms you up, just thinking of the upcoming holidays. I am so glad you checked out this card today!   ...Karen

Saturday Oct. 27, 2012 GKD

I made this card for a challenge on Gina's StampTV site.  It is called STV12MON42, that uses rubber bands to make the BG.  I used the ornaments from the "Deck the Halls" clear stamp set from StampTV, which I cut out by hand, and then mounted, on the BG.  All of the BG CS is from gkd's store. This is a rather modern looking Christmas card, don't you think?  Thanks for taking a peek!

Another GKD Challenge

I put another card together this morning, for a challenge at StampTV, called STV12FRI30.   I hope you like it, 'cuz seems rather early for a Christmas card, especially since I seem to have missed Spring and Summer.  Medical issues really took over this year!!!

Hello and Coffee Anyone?

I want to get some practice in so I entered a challenge over at STV. This is for STC12MON41.

I used some gkd tomato soup CS and stamps from  Gina's new stamp set and some flourish I had on my desk along with the ribbon.
I hope this makes you feel warm!

I made a card for Joan's Challenge so I thought I'd put on my blog. Hope you like it.

I did another challenge for Miesje yesterday. It is for STV12FRI29.

 I met her for lunch last year in Wisconsin and she is wonderful! I knew I wanted to do this one! Hope you like it!

Here is a card I made this morning for Vicki's challenge on STV.  STVOLDIES8

 I hope you like it! We were to use two patterned papers. The stamps are from STV's Great Sayings Stamp set.

See you soon!

Here is a one layer card I made for Gina K Designs challenge. I used Theresa Momber's set called "Mountain Wilderness" and Memento and Distress Inks. It is a regular A2 size card. The background was made inking a pad to an acrylic block and spritzing it with water before applying to the card.

Thanks for visiting!

Good Morning everyone! Things are going so much better for me, so I have a MFP/AHC sample for you today! I used my Vagabond to provide the texture.  The flower and the tag was made using my Cameo and I cut the MFP bird by hand. I am proud that I was able to get this done and put a picture of it into my computer,  THAT is a big deal folks! Thank you for stopping by today!

STV12FRI26 challenge post

This is a card I made for  challenge STV12FRI26.  This is a big deal, since it is the first card I have posted here.  The burst aneurysm I suffered from back in March means this is a REALLY big deal for me.  Thanks to all the wonderful people at RIC for helping me return to card making and the challenges.  I missed sending a card to my fabulous sis and bil, who are celebrating their anniversary today! She forgave me this year!!! Happy Anniversary to you both!

I am playing with this program to see if I can post.  Not sure if it has been such a long time or it is a brain thing!

I am back! not creating yet!

Many of you know that I suffered a medical emergency back in March.  Well it has been a long recovery, and I will be making cards before much longer!
