Christmas Cards

My daughters and I made cards to give out at a nursing facility in my area.  We made over 80 cards for them and 100 more for the troops this year.  The people in the nursing facility loved the cards.  It was wonderful to see the smiles on their faces on Christmas Eve.

New Daily Deal Site Blitsy

Starting on Friday (Black Friday) there will be a new deal site to get daily specials.  If you click the link below you can get $10 off of a purchase you make.  I can't wait to see what deals it has but it says it will have products for up to 60% off.  On Black Friday they are supposed to have a Tim Holtz and Spellbinders deal.  I hope it is as good as the hype.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to everyone.  Eat More Turkey.

Scrapbook Deals Sites

It has been a long time.  Sorry.  I have some videos I've been doing on You Tube but I haven't been posting much.  I do want to share a post about my favorite daily deal sites.  It appears that the page which used to have them has disappeared so I want to get them back in one place again.  Here are some good sites for daily deals

Pay-It-Forward from MoeScraps

Pay it Forward




I found this over at http://www.moescrap.com/. she is doing this pay it forward.. so I thought.. what a great idea.. :)



"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.



"I promise to send an original creation to the 1st 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."

Teacher Thank You Cards

Here are some Thank You cards for teachers I made.  I love the paper and the old vintage feel to the images.  The paper was from an older Crate Paper stack I think.  I have been moving away from Cricut and using more premade die cuts and dimensional ephemera.  Thanks for looking.

Mother's Day Cards 2011

I haven't posted in a while but not because I haven't been busy.  I've been making mother's day cards and completing swaps for Your Paper Pantry.  I am really getting the hang of swaps and it is helping me to complete my other crafting projects quicker as well.  Here are a few of the Mother's Day cards I have made this year.

First You Tube Video YPP Swap

This morning I posted my first You Tube video.  Yay!!!  It is on my channel named kdwcreative1.  I made a Junk Mini Album for my swap partner Tami who is from Canada.  If you'd like to see it click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WKQ8io-9-o

The theme for this swap was Flower Frenzie.  I used quotes from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I really enjoyed making the album after I stopped worrying and knew it had to get finished.

I was a bit intimidated by it at first and then I just jumped in after a bout of insomnia this morning and finished it off.  I have included some pictures below.  I hope you like it.  I even got a positive comment from Tim Coffey.  He has the lines of paper with K & Company. He is one of the sweetest most humble crafters I know and he has been helping a lot of crafters online by providing giveaways for their channels.  I won his first blog candy and I was so happy.

Here are the pictures from my book.  They look a lot better than the video because I took it on my Blackberry phone.

Blog Award

Keisha sent me a stylish blog award.  She was very sweet.  You can go see her at http://kustomtreasures.blogspot.com/  There were 8 things about myself I am supposed to share along with the award.

1) I love God and I love praying for people around the world.
2) I lived for 2 years in Mexico after college and I'm still pretty fluent in Spanish.
3) I have been married for 10 years
4) I have two little girls ages 8 and 9.
5) I enjoy making cards and most recently mini albums.
6) I watch Youtube and go on Facebook a lot.
7) I hate dark chocolate and chocolate ice cream but love milk chocolate.
8) I love my new Kindle.  I can't understand why they print books anymore when you can carry around a library with you. Lol.


Thanks again Keisha.  You made my week.
