Wedding - So Busy

Hello all,

I hope that everyone is having a very blessed Easter Break. I am taking 5 minutes out of my day to post this, so everyone know that I am so busy. My oldest is to be married this Easter Sunday and there is so much to do and getting ready for all the family that will be showing up here. So I will not be posting anything until after the 7th of April as I have so much to do and so much family that will be here. But starting after that I will be posting the up coming crops, classes and other fun things that will be happening here at Creations With Kathryn and here at my home and other places.

To end this, here is my beautiful Daughter and her husband to be in one of thier engagement photos.

 
Please say a prayer for good weather, cause as of right now it will be raining and she picked such a beautiful place I would love to see us having that outside wedding.
 
Thank you all and may your Easter be blessed with nothing but love and kindness.
 
Your Friend,
 
Kathryn

Anything Spring Blog Hop


 
 
Talk about being inspired. This is my take on Anything Spring. I might have gone a bit over the top.
 
This first card is using Stampin Up products and a Cuttlebug Die for the Hello.


This second card is using Close To My Heart products and Copic markers for coloring in the image.


This third card is all Stampin Up products. This is a card for my Step-Mother who just got out of surgery.

 
 
This forth card is also all Stampin Up products. This one is for my Hubby just because.


Hope you enjoyed my take on Anything Spring. If you are interested in any of the products used in any of the cards, please feel free to contact me at (916) 524-2490 or creationswithkathryn@yahoo.com.

Happy Valentines Day

Well hello to you all,

Hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful day. It is so beautiful here in Central California today, the sun is shining the temp is fantastic and it is just a stunning day.

I made a very special valentines for my hubby, but it will not go on my blog until Friday night as it is part of a hop that I am in. So come back after 9pm California time and take a look. I got the idea from a card that I made at a class I attended on punch art this past Sunday. So I am looking forward to having you all come hop and post a comment on what you think of my card.

For now I thought I would post the 3 cards that I made at the class I attended on Sunday. I thought this was great to be able to use my punches in different way.



 
 
I am sure you can tell which one was what I based my hubbies Valentines Day card after. I will tell you I didn't use punches and it is very different. Hint, Hint..... LOL.
 
We used 9 different punches to complete all three cards. We also used 2 different embossing folders as well. 

Well hope you liked this cards and I look forward to hopping over on Friday night or Saturday to view my special Card I made for the hop.

Thank you for looking and God Bless you all,

Your friend,

Kathryn
