Hello
friends. Thanks so much for stopping by
my blog. I hope you have time to browse
and enjoy my creations. I love creating and giving my creations to the people I care about. It means the world to me to be able to share my love with all of you in Blogland.
You are all such a blessing to me with your comments, friendships and fabulous creations. I love this creating community. I don't think I would have survived all my health issues; if it wasn't for all of you. It is a struggle sometimes to create when I feel so bad; but I feel blessed everyday for having my crafting and all of you to help me make it through each day. Thank you.
It is time for another Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post and our topic this week is "Use Red or Green or both. I am using a shade of green; which is my very favorite for creating Christmas cards. I received this gorgeous snowflake paper free with my Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine; and had to use it for this awesome cat. Be sure to visit the CCK blog daily; so you can see all the fabulous creations by the DT.
I love this sweet image.
