It's been a long time ...

It's been a long time since I last posted. Where does time go?
I have been busy making Christmas Cards and gift tags.
I think I've tired of card making however and am itching to get back to my true love - Scrapbooking.
Hopefully in the coming days I'll have pics of some new layouts to post.
Hope you are all well and looking forward to the holidays.

Vintage

Been trying my hand at vintage lately. I've been trying to prepare for an upcoming Fair and wanted to have something that would appeal to all ages. Let me know what you think!

Happy Thanksgiving

In case you don't already know, I will now admit, I am terrible with technology. Hence the messy looking Blog. A friend of mine commented to me once that it must just be killing me that I can't better organize pics, etc. on here - and she was right! I am super organized and a neat freak and believe me if I could do something about it I would. I need a crash course on how to use Blogger to it's full potential - any takers!

My poor husband had to go away for work over the Thanksgiving holiday - there was a lot of storm damage due to Tropical Storm Ophelia. So that meant I had a whole long weekend to myself to go crafting. Christmas is coming so I got busy with Christmas Cards. Hope you like them!

Summer - what summer!

So the weather in Newfoundland has pretty much sucked this Summer. June was not so affectionately called Junuary and August as Fogust.

But the terrible weather has meant I've been keeping busy scrapbooking and card making.

Got my largest order for cards to date a couple weeks ago - 100 christmas cards. Three of my own designs. So excited.

I also won an online challenge in July - can't wait to receive my prize.

Today is the first day of 17 straight days off work and .... drumroll ... the weather is awesome!

So life is good. Will post pictures soon! Hope you're all having a great Summer and Happy Scrapping!

Retirement

Retirement .... that's what we're all working towards - right!? Well I used to be, then one day I realized the closer I got to retirement the older I was getting ... and I don't want that to happen!

A special uncle is retiring this week after many years of working with the Provincial Government, Dept. of Natural Resources (formerly, forestry & wildlife) and he loves the out-of-doors so I think the card I made for him is fitting. Hopefully he will like it.

Happy Father's Day

I'm trying to get my card making in sync with the holidays .... usually after the holiday I'm in the mood for making cards of that theme. Here are a few cards I made over the past few days for Father's Day. I especially like the ones that are meant to look like dad's shirts. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially my own, and happy scrapping!

Wedding Invitations

I've been very busy lately, doing a lot of scrapbooking, card making and even made 50 wedding invitations. I've also decided to start up a group on Facebook - Kim's Kreations - as a way to sell my cards. Check me out if you're on Facebook.

Other cards I've been working on are for baby showers, ordination and graduation. Here are some samples - let me know what you think and happy scrapping!
