My very first cakes!!

Hey guys, Just as promised, here are the cakes from my past. (that sounds so mysterious, doesn't it?  Anyway, I found these pictures, while looking for pictures of my hubby and me, (For all of you younger scrappers, make sure that you, and your hubby, significant other, or partner get in some pictures of just the 2 of you here and there, or when you want one, there is always kids, and dogs in there too!) for the 25th anniversary little album that I am making, and I came across these pictures of some cakes that I did in the late 80's, and early 90's. The first one is for my brother-in-law, for his graduation from college, the second one was for my niece for her 2nd birthday in 1989, and the last one was for my nephew, for his 4th birthday, in 1994. They are not my best work, but I look at it the same way I look at old scrap layouts, with all of the pictures cut into shapes, with all the stickers, ect. We all had to start somewhere!! I hope you like, or that they at least make you chuckle!! karen♥

A couple of quick cards that I made for a funeral, and a thank you!

Here are 2 cards that I quickly made up.  I am so behind on my quick stash that I usually have of cards for different occasions, so this week I am have to get back on track!! This first one I made for my Godfathers wife who died unexpectedly in her sleep the other day.  Thankfully we don't think that she was in any pain.

The base of the card is made with Papertreyink Ocean Tides, and the floral paper is from K Cand Co pad called Classic K Bailey, the brown ribbon, is ribbon that I had in my stash.  I also used my Martha Stewart line punch, I don't know the name of it, sorry.

This next card is a Thank You for my new wonderful Dentist, for making me feel so comfortable during my recent dental work!

I used the same base paper from Paper trey ink Oceans Tide, the patterned paper was also from the K and Co Classic K Bailey, the bow was also from PTI in Simply Chartreuse, and the same Martha Stewart lace punch. I stamped the words Thank You, with a gold Gel pen, and outlined the border with the same Gel pen,and added a few gold pearls around the "Thank You".  I also popped up the sentiments with some foam squares. I did them quick, so I could catch the mailman, I hope you like them.  karen♥

The eggs were a hit!!

Hi guys, I just wanted to show you a picture, and let you know that we took my 92 year old Great Aunt out to dinner for her birthday, and I gave her the flowered eggs that I made her for the tree I gave to her for Christmas. (see video below)  I would love to show you a picture of her at the birthday dinner, but since I was old enough to walk, I knew that we are NEVER allowed to take a picture of my aunt. I mean NEVER!!!! We all sneak one here or there, but if she caught you taking one, well lets just say that she is about 3'5' tall (I am not exaggerating about that, I am 5'2" and she comes up to about the bottom of my rib cage!!!!) Her shrinking, started about 10 years ago, and never stopped!!Although that is all part of her cuteness!!!! Anyway, I took a picture of the eggs on my tree, there were no other decorations on my tree at the time, but I think you can get the idea of how they came out!! I also made some cards, but I haven't taken a picture of those yet, but I will get to that soon. I hope you all like them (well not all of you, that is really greedy of me) I hope that some of you like them!!! Karen♥
