My April Card Class Projects

Hello all you fine crafters,

Hope the beginning of May is treating you all well. For me it is as I finally have my blog working the way it should have been.

I did a couple of card classes last month and thought I would let you see what I was teaching. There are 2 sets of 3 card. One set is for the Father/men in our lives and the other is for the Mother/girlfriend in our lives. Hope you like.

 These first 3 cards are for the Mother/girlfriend:

 

This card has 4 layers plus the base for the card. The colors used are from Stampin Up and are Marina Mist, Basic Black for inks and cardstock. The other cardstock is from CTMH and is Colonial White. The stamp sets I use are from Stampin Up and the image is from Serene Silhouettes and the saying is from Blessed Mother. I also use gems, punch for the saying and a paper piercer.

Wedding is over.....

Well the wedding is finally over and family have all gone back home and my home is my own again. The only sad thing is that my Mother in Law got sick and it made things these last couple of weeks a bit stressful, but she is better now. Thanks be to God.

I have been MIA, cause of family being here from out of town, and also did take time out for hubby and I to re-do our Vows. We thought after 27 years that it was time to re-confirm our commitment to each other. Next one is to be on our 50th, and with a blessing from Above it will happen and be on our 50th Anniversary.

I have tons of classes and projects coming up here starting next week. Four card classes, a Retreat and a 2 day crop all in this month. Wow talk about over load. LOL I have tons of new ideas for cards and layouts that I will be starting to post here starting May 1st. There will be card and scrapbooking kits for sale, classes for cards and scrapbooking, a beginning Cricut class and Copic Marker class (these are to give people the knowledge of the products and why they are worth the monies for them to spend or not. Also for those who have a Cricut and Copic Markers to learn the basics and the maintenance for them.

Also starting after the 15th of June through the end of July, I will be having an open class on certain days during this time so anyone interested in a class will be able to call me an set up a one on one class or a class with just them and their friends. I can't wait for these as I think this will open the doors for those people who have so little time to be able to take a class.

One more thing, if any of you have suggestions of things that you would like to see or be discussed regarding Scrapbooking, Cardmaking, Mini Albums or anything that is Paper Craft related, I would love to hear them.

Thank you and God Bless you all,

Kathryn

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

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
