First Post of the Year!

Happy New Year to all! Just a quick little post to get my New Year goals started on the right foot....or maybe its the left one....LOL. I was thinking about a post with no pictures added but then thought different and decided to post a picture of one of the many Christmas cards I made this past holiday season. Just one of a few goals I have made for myself.....not resolutions but GOALS. One is to post more here on cards that I have made and/or maybe even some of the scrapbooking I am planning on doing.....another goal of mine - to get more scrapbooking done too. Thats just a couple of my goals for this year. SO, have you made any resolutions or Goals for yourself this New Year?

So the picture is a Christmas card I made with a Magnolia stamp - Reindeer Tilda, I coloured her using Distress Inks.

Our card exchange group is meeting up this Sunday for the first time this year. Its a sketch challenge. Check back to see what everyone has come up with. Enjoy the rest of your week!

January's Sketch

I apologize for the quality of the picture. This is the sketch for our January exchange. It was taken from the Scrapbook and Cards calendar for 2011, have you got yours?

A New Year Resolution

Happy New Year to all!!!! I believe all who read this blog from time to time hope that my New Year resolution is going to be.......wait for it................to blog more and post our creations more - sooner than later......hahahahaha! I hope that for myself too however I promise nothing

It has been a wonderful and busy year.....doing lots of classes, even teaching some, so lots of my time went to prepping and organizing for that....lots of knitting happened this year for me......a new baby girl happened into our lives here.....Now I can be called Gramma....so more knitting will be happening. Our card exchanges were lots of fun this year with the challenge of sketches and themes. Our little group welcomed new members this year, so all has been very good.


I have the last two exchanges to post; the first one is November's cards which was Hostess themed and the second picture is our December exchange which was Christmas themed, who doesn't like making Christmas cards!


I hope everyone has been having a wonderful and safe holiday and that the New Year brings all your dreams and wishes. Enjoy your New Year Eve! and I'll be posting to you next year....hopefully on a regular basis.

A little group meeting

Well I haven't post anything for over 4 months and today I have done 3.....almost like I am caught up...hahahahaha! Well here is October's card exchange cards, it was a sketch challenge....and I very much liked this sketch. We were a small group this month, only 3 of us from our group of 7 were able to make this exchange.......as I said before we have had a very busy past few months. Thanks again for visiting our blog and hope you enjoy our cards!

August's sketch challenge

Where or where has the blogger gone?

Hello All! Yes I am still living and crafting.....where have I been the whole summer and then some...well I have been here...no I have not been sick.....just been very lackadazical(if thats a word) in the blogging department. Yes we have been meeting every month and doing our cards...as you will see in this post with the oh sooooooo many pictures of the last four or five card exchanges....I might even make it into 2 or 3 post to get all the pictures up. Our group has been busy in the last few months.....with summer holidays, a wedding and a birth of a grandchild, designing and preparing for classes ..... so hopefully you all understand the tardiness of the blog person here. So on to the pictures....Our July exchange theme was humour, August was a sketch, September was Halloween/Goth, and October was a sketch. Enjoy the pictures, and hopefully I can now start keeping the blog up-to-date with postings. In this post I will show you the July card exchange....thanks for your patience and for visiting us here.

June's Card Exchange

Happy Long Weekend to All! Yes I have been neglecting my duties as a blogger again...I have no excuses, just been busy with everything and nothing. June's card exchange challenge/theme was a sketch, using a sketch from the pdf archives - June 2006 on the Pagemaps site; our card exchange group came up with some amzing cards again. Looking forward to our next exchange theme which is Humour. Here are our cards. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
