New Cards

Here are three new cards I made as Thank You cards for dear friends who were so kind to me during my recovery (after a surgery I recently had). I used the Thank You embossing folder by Cuttlebug as the background and the stamp is by CC Designs. They're simple but sometimes I like cards that way. I am still practicing with my Copic markers and having a great time.
Thanks for looking!

Lazy day off & some creative.

Happy Thursday afternoon! It has been one big lazy day off. I had planned on doing some cleaning or creating in my craft room but that hasn't happened and i still have to do laundry! YUK!

I made this for my mother for Christmas. Her and my stepfather both retired from the post office so when i saw this stamp i had to do something with it. The image is colored with Copic markers and stitched around the outside. Hope you like.

Cat and Card

Hello, first i am very excited to share that Animal Outreach in McHenry had 8 adoptions this weekend (my husband Joel is one of the adoption counselors). One of the adoptions was our foster Summer (sorry so far away, this was taken early on when she didn't like us getting too close). We still have 4 kittens in our foster room, photos to come soon.


I thought i would share one of my Thank You cards that i made for one of my amazing friends who thought of me while i was healing after my surgery. I was so lucky to get so many beautiful flowers, cookies, gifts and well wishes.

This is a C.C. Design from All that scraps.

And one with black hair.

Have a great day!

I 'think' I'am back...

It's Sunday morning and I am sitting on the couch in my pajama's watching Jurassic Park. I have been thinking about getting back to blogging and decided today was the day.

The last 8 months have been, well, interesting.
Joel has been out of work now for almost 2 years, my job is going very well, but i sure wish we were busier. I had surgery a month ago to remove a tumor from my Perotid gland under my right ear. That was not fun, but I survived and am on the mend.

I haven't done a lot of creative projects (just haven't been in the mood) but I think I am back to that, too. I have discovered Copic Markers and I am in love. Lot's of card making going to be happening here.

I promise to share some samples soon.

See Jenn, I told you I'd be back eventually!
