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.

Congrats Grad!

Hi Everyone,

With the graduation season in full swing, I thought I would show off the card I made using the newly released stamps from DRS Designs.  The image is called Teacher Tools and I colored it with my Copic markers and then added the sentiment called Bright Graduation.


The layout is not groundbreaking, but I was pretty pleased with myself for popping up my shiny apple and making a little diploma as an embellishment!


The Stamp A Day Give Away is going on all month over at the DRS Designs Blog, so stop by the blog for your chance to win!

This is wonderful! I love the image you've chosen. Totally appropriate for a graduation card, but not the traditional image most people go for. Great colors too :) Thanks for playing along at Scrapbookaholic by Abby.
