Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Jolly Penguin

Hi Everyone!

My card today is jam packed with stamp-y goodness from DRS Designs. I used a combination of newly released holiday stamps, along with some older favorites to create this sweet card.


I made the patterned paper with the new Holly background stamp, by stamping in green and coloring the berries in red. I used the new Holly 3" Giga Oval because it matched the background paper I created and stamped Percy Penguin for my focal image. Isn't he cute? This was then cut out and layered using and oval Nestie.  The sentiment Jolly Holiday finished it off.
