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.

Plaids

Hi Everyone,
 
The new challenge at the DRS Designs blog is "PLAIDS", so here is my offering with what else, but plaid :)
 
Two weeks ago a friend of ours had a double knee replacement, so I made this in anticipation of the surgery.  Does DRS Designs have a stamp for all occasions or what?  My friend is a he and not a she, so I thought this plaid challenge would be a good one to make a masculine card.
 
I used the Open Plaid for the background, the Woven Plaid for the center strip and the
 Knee Replacement greeting for the sentiment.
 
 
A simple button embellishment was all I ended up adding to finish it off.
 
 
 
Don't forget the DRS Designs Stamp-A-Versary contest began this week. Please join us and you might win a huge prize package of stamps!  Just click here for all the details. 
 
Have a nice weekend :)

Seriously... a knee replacement sentiment? I'm amazed. :P Love how you were able to use two coordinating plaids in this great masculine card.

Hi, Karin! I hope this time blogger lets me leave my comment - it keeps giving me a 503 error LOL - What a great sentiment, and really needed, in our get well cards. Love how you have color coordinated the sentiment with the plaid. I always forget to do plaids, and they make such pretty backgrounds - perfect for our masculine friends, too. Love those dots in your zigzag element! REALLY pretty card, K! hugs, de

Great plaid card. The sponging of ink around the sentiment just ties the whole thing together.
