ABOUT ME

Houston, Tx, United States
Hi. Welcome to my site; my name is Karen. I'm an avid scrap-booker, card-maker, and paper-crafter. I have been scrapbooking for about 12 years and I am just as excited now as when I first started. Scrapbooking is the instrument I use to record some of the greatest and most special moments of my family’s life. I love buying patterned paper, ribbon and embellishments, taking pictures of my son, teaching scrapbooking and hosting workshops. This hobby continues to be an obsession for me and it continues to challenge me to be a better scrapper. I love the escape that scrapbooking affords me and the fun it has brought into my world. I have one child, a son; he's 15 years old and he is my favorite scrapbook subject. I hope that you enjoyed my site and will visit again soon.

My Christmas Card

I have been playing around with making Christmas cards and having a hard time. I wanted to keep it simple this year and also to use one of the many embossing folders that I've been collecting and hoarding, so this is what I came up with. I pulled an all-nighter last night, so that I could get them in the mail today. Whew, glad that's done, now on to some rest and then another night of card-making.
Thanks for stopping by,
Enjoy

Christmas Blessing

I'm working on a design for my Christmas cards, so, while playing around last night, I made this card. I used one of the Martha Stewart deep border, border punches - my new favorite thing. The sentiment pieces were cut from the Mini Monogram Cricut cartridge and the paper was from my stash. I added a little Tim Holtz Distressing Ink, Antique Linen, to the top piece after typing my sentiment; then added some bling.
Enjoy and TFSB,
Karen

Christmas Card Challenge


My girlfriend Velma issued a Christmas card challenge, based on a card scetch and here is what I came up with. I took a few liberties with the scetch, but I think that's the whole point. I am so enjoying these challenges.

A Simple Christmas


A simple way to say Merry Christmas is with the simple, beautiful card.

The elegance of Christmas


Who said Christmas and paisley don't match? They are perfect together.

Christmas with a Tag


Christmas is on it's way, so start planning for your Christmas cards. Consider sending hand-made cards. Your personal greeting would be printed on the tag.
