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.

Holiday Card & a Challenge

Hi Everyone,

 
It's Christmas in July time, and that means getting a jump on your holiday cards :) I love making Christmas cards, especially when I'm not stressed out thinking about how much shopping I need to get done. And it's a great way to cool off this time of year, even if it's just metaphorically.

 
This card is simple, made from pieces parts that I saved from last year. When I'm playing around getting ideas, I save all those things that I didn't use in my finished card. Since I had a finished piece of patterned paper made from the Woven Plaid Background Stamp, a colored up Reindeer Ralph, and a punched 1 Line Merry Christmas, this card made with DRS Designs stamps, came together in a jiffy.




All I did was add ribbon, gems and holly leaves, and some Stickles to his nose :)
Woo Hoo! First card of the year done! Only 50 more to go...lol. Small victories.

Oh, and if you want a chance to win a $10.00 voucher to the DRS Designs store, play along at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog where DRS is this week's sponsor...Here is the inspiration photo:
