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.

Dust Off Your Brads...

Hi Everyone,

I totally didn't mean to be gone this long from blog land. Sorry about that.  Lots of unexpected occurrences including a long day in the ER with a family member, let's just say the week didn't go as planned.

Anyway, the new challenge this week at the DRS Designs blog is to use brads on your creation.  C'mon, you know you've got 'em...lol!

I was actually really happy to dig them out and use a few of them up.  Crazy how trends come and go so fast  in the paper craft world :)

Here is my card using the cutie patootie Saddle Up Cowboy stamp.  I just love his sweet little smile!


And as usual, I made my backgrounds using the following stamps :


Lastly,  I thought the Walk on the Wild Side was a cute sentiment to pair up with this.  I always like it when I feel like I've been successful in making a card for a boy :)

Oh, and I just got word late yesterday that DRS Designs will be holding a contest to celebrate their 20th Anniversary.  That's all I can say right now, but with the few details I do know, your NOT going to want to miss it!


Hope all is right in your little corner of the world, and have a good weekend :)

So cute is she. Love his chubby cheeks and sweet smile. The jute adds so much to the look of this card. Apt sentiment as well. Super colouring as ever. Thanks for visit and kind comments. You made my day.
Much love,

I love how you create your own DP. So cool! Great color combo. I love the stars (and brads) and the bit of burlap. The cowboy is such a cutie.

I hope your family member is recovering.

I like how you carried the background
paper through different parts of the 1st card. Also, the God's love card is one of the prettiest I've seen!
