I started out with making 250 Christmas cards. That was a big project and filled up most of my wkends for awhile. Then I was helping my husband who is making wooden boxes to sell on Etsy. We decided to make a few Christmas ones too. We still have yet to put them on Etsy haha. I will post a link once we do. The other projects I worked on were a project life album for the month of Dec, a canvas for myself and some scrapbooking of coarse!! Time does fly when you are having fun!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my creations.<br />

Having gone through this myself, I know how sad it is to loose your pet and how your home feels so empty without them. I wanted to send a card letting her know I was thinking of her.<br />
<br />
I used stampin up products. Colours are calypso coral, blushing bride and blackberry bliss. I used the stamp set called Gorgeous Grunge. The heart I took a heart die and my sponge and just traced around it using the blackberry.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by.<br />

I offer cards for sale this year to friends and family and ended up now having to make 220 cards. Needless to say, that is what I have been working on. Here are a few sneak peaks of what has been happening.<br />
<br />
Here is using the Stampin up set Endless Wishes. I wanted to use the silver and thought it looks great witht then in colour called Blackberry Bliss (love that colour). I added a few sequins for bling.<br />

These are for a card that I saw on Pinterest using the serene silhouettes stamp set. The image is stamped in black staz on and then the little birds are covered with the red glitter glue. It really does add a pretty effect.<br />

This card I created using my new set from Stampin Up called Ornamental Pine. I was going for that cabin in the woods feel to the card. I had some washi tape (not stampin up) that I added to the bottom of the card and then a couple of sequins to add a bit of pop. I like how it turned out.<br />

I love looking at all the amazing things people create. The colours, the ideas, the techniques and concepts. So this wk I sat down and made some beautiful cards that I had found. Sometimes is just plain fun to case cards that others have come up with the ideas. Here is card # 1<br />

It's where you have scrapbook challenges but somehow they are based around YOU. I think that is awesome because I do all this scrapbooking of others and often forget about myself or don't like the pictures I see of myself so I put those to the side.<br />
<br />
I choose to start with <a href="http://scrap-challenge-yourself.blogspot.ca/2014/08/challenge-9celebrate-your-age.html">challenge # 9 </a>which is the current challenge over at Challenge Yourself. I was to create a page using a photo of you at the age you are at. So here it goes…….. me at 46…..where does the time go?<br />

It was fun to create with yellow, pink and blue as these are colours I would probably never put together myself. I decided to use some stamps and create a splash of colour on the background. The colours went perfect with the photo I choose to use. The colours and paper used are all Stampin Up. Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and whisper white. The blue and the pink I stamped on but the yellow, I put some of the ink refil in a spray bottle with a bit of water and just sprayed it on.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Scrappin!<br />

Here I am with another <a href="http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.ca/">feeling sketchy </a>challenge done. For the past month, I've actually been feeling creative again. I haven't for about a year so it's great to be back. This is a page I created using some stampin up dsp. The beautiful butterfly was sent to me by Mitzi, a dear friend over at Soul Scrappers. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

I finally had the chance. I completed sketch # 95. I started out with this photo and wanted to use some new SU design paper that I had purchased. I ended up using my favourite colour for the whole page..<br />

At work we had a western theme chili cookoff. It's a fun time. About 300 people attend. They get to sample 5 different chili booths and kick up their heels a little. I was incharge of the decorating for our chili group. That was much more exciting then being in charge of cooking!<br />
<br />
In this photo I created a fun wanted frame for our photo booth.<br />

We also had a sundae bar so I decorated these mason jars to make them a little more western. People loved the idea of choosing their own toppings.<br />

<br />
I have graciously accepted being your host of the moment for the Expanding Blog Hop. I think it is amazing that I have been asked to join in by the wonderful Julie over at <a href="http://jsquaredscrapspot.wordpress.com/">jsquared</a> in England. and I'm all the way across the pond in Canada. I met Julie over at Soul Scrappers. I have always admired Julie's fresh fun style and her great ability to layer! Thanks Julie for asking me to join in the fun and to actually get my butt in gear and post to my blog again.<br />
<br />
<b>1. What am I working on?</b><br />
<br />
Well currently I have just finished two projects. One was an art journalling challenge over at Soul Scrappers. I love this challenge as it take me so far out of my comfort zone that I just say 'what the heck", and go for it. I never really know what I'm doing and end up with art journalling "Karen Style".<br />

2. <b>How does my work differ from others of it's genre?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is not an easy question to answer, it really makes me think. I think my style of scrapbooking is the same as my style in my home. I like old mixed with new. Some ways that I add the old is to scrapbook vintage family photos, distressing something on the page, I have some embellishments that are retro styles or I actually have some things that are from the 1940's, 50's & 60's, that I have picked up at antique stores along the way. One awesome find was my 1940's good house keeping magazine.<br />
<br />
<br />
3.<b>Why do I create what I do?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I think my answer as to why I scrapbook is for two reasons. The first being, my whole life, I was shown by my Mother the importance of family. My Mom always made time in her life for her children, her parents and siblings. She created fun loving memories for us all. The second reason is I grew up with a Father who always talked about the good ole days! He grew up in the 1930's when times were tough, money was scarce but adventures were always to be had. I loved listening to the stories he would tell of his childhood as he grew up in a time that was so different then my own. Both of my parents loved to create with their hands too. My parents influences of family, creativity and history became part of me. I use to spend hours and hours on geneology with my Dad and different crafts with my Mom. Over time, doing what I loved evolved into scrapbooking. It combined the history, the family and the crafty side of my life.<br />
<br />
4.<b>What is my creative process?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I start my creative process by finding a challenge online or having a picture that I want to scrap, just something that gets the creative juices flowing. Usually I start with one simple idea in mind and then it blossoms into something more as I go along. One thing I do know about myself is that in order for me to have a creative mind, my desk has to be in complete disarray. If it is neat and tidy, then my mind is neat and tidy and can't think of ideas. The madness on my desk gets me going lol!<br />
<br />

It was so fun to create because you start off and you are not sure what specific direction you are heading. You try a little of this and a little of that and POW, you have your masterpiece! I do love colour so I wasn't afraid to use it here.<br />
<br />
This is using a silhouette technique. First I cut the image from an old Better Homes & Garden's magazine from the 1940's. I bought it at an antique store for a buck. Once the silhouette was cut out, I placed it on my white background paper and using a Stampin up, tempting turquoise inkpad, I brushed the ink around the silouette<br />

<br />
I then used more stampin up ink pads from the bold brights collection and just did random ink everywhere. I also used an old stampin up wheel and some grey ink to add some more interest.<br />

Once I had added enough ink everywhere, I punched out some orange circles and placed them for some dimension. I used yellow ink and coloured in the silhouette image, I did some random stamping in black stazon on, added a photo and some washi tape. Done!<br />
