from CK blog, creativity heals...

Hi:

I really wanted to keep this thought posted yesterday in Creating Keepsakes blog so I copied to share it in here.
I'm sure that creativity CAN heal and it can do a great job. Without "over thinking" or overwhelming myself I do believe this is a really nice way to find new horizons for the healing process.

Hope we all can remember and practice this constantly.

Happy Day!

a sympathy card




Today I'm posting this to share a sympathy card I made back in February, to our pastor and his family. His so loved father passed away about a month ago...and yes, it was Valentines Day.

During the making of the card, I just wanted to do something really simple. Without excessive embellishments. To honor the special person and his wonderful family.

Warm hugs!

Our little valentines[cards}



Mommy & me {ed.}
:)

My 5 y-o woke up today asking to make "something" for daddy - who's working just like any other day of the week - so I came up with making valentine cards*, I mean little cards.

This is what we "made together".

SO simple, so sweet.

Happy Valentines,

customize images with your favorite stamps

I'd like to share this video today which shows some fabulous idea on how to extend the use of your stamps...it can be (almost) any pattern style stamp you have and like.
I'll be sharing some of my own projects later on this week, in the mean while...enjoy the video!


Warm hugs,

Open House - thank you notes




Hello...this post is to share some of the Thank You cards I made and sent to the customers, students and friends that visited our Open House few days ago.

It was so great seeing some long-time-no-see friends and surprised by unexpected friends, we all had lots of fun. I've prepared the new living room to be "show room" as I wanted to share my latest paper crafting artworks and scrapbook projects. Seems like everyone had so much fun!

In these note cards I used some of the latest embellishments from CTMH(Paradise baker's twine, Mile Post shapes, mini-medley olive collection, etc). Fun!
The patterned paper is Typeset.

Good night,
