Here is an adorable and VERY EASY Kimono Card I made for my secret sister. She doesnt know who her secret sister is but if she put the clues together she could figure it out :-) What stinks is I put a button on it and it doubled the cost of postage!
Here is what I came up with. See what I mean... each one I think is better then the last one. I really enjoyed making it. The card base was no problem. I just had problems with the embellishments. It took a while to get it just right. I think I did. I also made a japanese girl to tuck in the card to use as a book mark if wanted too.
Hope this inspires you like it did me.

Not so much the yellow ink
Greetings,
I dont have any paper creations to speak of. I do want to mention it was not so much the lack of yellow ink that was my printers problems. Yes It was out of yellow ink but the print head went bad. I have to give Kudos to Kodak. I went online to their website and troubleshooted my problem. The information I submitted suggested I replace the print head. So I ordered one. No charge to me. No shipping charge to me either. I came in about four days. I put it in and it did its test and cleaning and it is pretty good now. I still have my animal card to finish. I decided to go another route which involves penguins. I might toss in a few of the peacock cards. I went to the Cincinnati Zoo this week and they had tons of peacocks all over the place and I got some wonderful pictures of them with their feathers all spread out. It was pretty neat!

PS check out my Yarn buddies and the cat burgular post in everything yarn!
PSS I deleted Dear John. I thought that blog might get me into trouble LOL!
Here is the animal card I ended up making. I must scan the instructions on folding the penguin.

Greetings,
I am back with another you tube fine! This card I made for the swap I was participated in the card group I am in on yahoo. It is a very easy card to make and the possibilities are endless. My version of the card can be seen in my card slide show. I made a matching envelope for it.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial as much as I did in making it.
Here is the link to make the sunflowers. The show was more helpful but there is no you tube video of it.

Here is my version of the card I made. It was for the first swap I had joined. The theme was sunflowers.
Hope this inspires you like it has me!

Greetings folks.
I belong to a wonderful group on yahoo that is dedicated to card making. The group offers help when asked, there is a monthly swap and sometimes a fun swap hosted by a member. All our creations can be posted and admired by the group. If you are interested in belonging to this wonderful group, go to www.yahoo.com and search for makinggreetingcards. If you want to join a swap you will also have to join another group. Dont worry all the activity is done on the main group. The second group is for security and storage reasons only.
Anyway one of the swaps theme is pockets. I will be attempting to make this card.
Hope this inspires you like it has me
Every card I make I say is my favorite one. I really really hated to send this one off to my swap partner. It has my favorite colors black, white and blue. It was really easy to make too.

GOOD FRIDAY NIGHT
Here is another tutorial that I was inspired by. You can see my waterfall card in the slide show. I do not have a animation of it though :-(
Dont worry it is not as hard as you think it is.
Here is a card I just sent out for the June 2009 Male Birthday swap. I also used another techinque with foil. I will post that video shortly.
Hope this inspires you like it inspires me!

The interupted plan
Well I spent most of the time reorganizing my room. Not quite done there. Never got to the card making.
I realized if I took the shoe organizer out of my closet, removed the two middle slats, turned in on it side, it is the perfect size to hold 12x12 paper. I then rolled that ugly tool box into the closet where the show organizer was. How clever was that???
Concerned about the shoes? They were old ratty tatty canvas shoes so I tossed them out.
I did finally make it to printing out the candy wrappers. Problem is I am out of yellow ink.
Everybody knows you need yellow ink for easter!
I cant afford the mola to buy ink now. Life is so unfair (insert pouty face)

The plan man
Greetings,
I love the internet. I found that Easter is April 12 with out getting my lazy butt out of bed and go look for a calendar. I made some candy wrappers. I am going to post them on etsy and that handmade www site. I am going to sell them as a PIF so I can get my customer base up.
I used the creatables that I signed up for. They are really cute. I will create a slide show of my paper crafts and tools I plan on selling. If you are itching to see what I am planning on selling before I get the slide show up... check out saharacatcreations blog. I have a slighty different version already up.
Anyway tomorrow I plan on getting that button punch from micheals. Then I will work on this months card swap. I wont say any more about the card swap because I have a vauge idea what I want to do. Actually I have two. One is my fall back plan. Saturday is card making day after all. I missed last week because i had a headache. After I work on my cards I will be taking pictures of the candy. That is if I dont eat it all first. Those dark chocolate and almond treasures are devine! I will post them on the www site for sale. I will post some other items for sale to.
I need to make $$$. I want to go to disney world with my nephew. It will be awesome!

Friday night blog
Greetings,
Friday night is about over. So I must hurry. I spent lots of time setting up my photobucket site so I can add some pictures to my blogs.
Here is a you tube video that I used as inspiration for a card I made for my mum for valentines day. You see a picture of the card I made in the slide show.
Hope this inspires you as it did me
