Want To Meet Huggin Mary??? Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Well here you go ladies,a real face to the name! Here is Huggin Mary and Doodle Queen Karen, now I know they are both going to LOVE me for putting this picture up.
This is from convention this past weekend...look at those beautiful smiles how could I not post this picture.
Wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and show you what I am thankful for.
Good friends, laughter, and crafting are the best!!!

This is another card Huggin Mary made for us to use on our display at convention.Can you believe all the wonderful details in this card? Huggin Mary likes to do putszy projects and it really shows in her projects.That Bigsby List image was embossed on vellum and then colored. She also used some liquid applique to add some more detail.

Can you see the santa image on the background writing his Christmas list? Now how great an idea is this card? Just had to share with all of you...remember to leave her some love so she knows how much you enjoy her cards and projects.

My Friend Lil Kim made some projects

I had this wonderful idea I shared with my friend Huggin Mary A couple of weeks ago.Since I have been so busy and didn't have much time to work on projects that I would start posting more projects that others have shared with me. Most of these people don't have their own blog and I am thrilled to post their projects.
The projects today are all by my friend Lil Kim, that isn't her given name just the name we have given her...Now it might seem strange but when there is three Kim's you have to get creative!
This first picture is of a SC Johnson candle that Lil Kim covered with two sided card stock
and then attached the Bigsby List image from Karen's Doodles. How adorable is this project?

How about this swinging Bigsby on this altered purse? Isn't this a cute idea for a special little friend?

Now you must have all figured out that this is my favorite image so far...Emma and Bird is just so sweet to me and Lil Kim did a great job with all the colors on this sweetie! Do you see all the wonderful details like fun flock, liquid applique, and stickles?

So let my friend know what you think of her creations.

Stop by each week to see who I will post next.

Doodle Queen & Princess

Here is Karen & I at One of A Kind Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook convention this past weekend
Doesn't Karen have the greatest smile? I have to say I wasn't even looking at the picture till I went to pre-date this post...Oh my goodness my hair is really crazy! I never know how to smile for pictures either.

The Karen's Doodles site has been updated with images and rubber stamps that can be purchased through pay pal at this time. Stop over and check out the whimsical images, and remember to keep checking back for many changes.

A Couple cards Using A New Karen's Doodles Image

This first card was made by my friend Mary (huggin Mary)...she stamped the new rubber stamp of this fun image of a moose made by Karen's Doodles.

This second card is done by me and I used the digital image of the same moose from Karens Doodles.
Can you see that it is fun to try different ways to make cards? We both had fun playing with the new moose. I colored mine with Copics and I really like the look, I just wish I had more colors to give this image a better color palette.

Blinkie to use for Karen's Doodles

Would you like this sidebar image to use for a blinkie ? You can save the picture and install as a picture in your blog layout and use the http://karensdoodles.blogspot.com/ link with the picture.

Isn't this adorable with all those animals? I have to say this looks so like Karen- especially that smile...

Friendship Award

I was so surprised but absolutely excited to receive this Friend Award from Brenda Rose.I must say I think Brenda's face could be on this award.If Brenda isn't the perfect example of what a friend can be I surely don't know anything. I have seen her face her life challenges with a smile on her face and grace in her heart.Always taking the time to comment on other blogs and NEVER anything but true positive praise and joy for others.

That is why this award means so much to me given to me by such a special lady.
Thank you Brenda

This is what the award is all about:

This award is given to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These bloggers are not interested in increasing their own status, but rather aim to find friends and be friends. The hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are born!

My choices for this lovely award will be for people I have met through blogging that have such a special heart and it shows in what they do on a daily basis,how they lend a hand to others, but most of all how they make me feel when I see there posts and comments.
