Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my adventure into the blog world. I’ve been wanting to start a blog for about two years and finally ran out of excuses of why I couldn’t do it!

My first card is a Thank you card dedicated to all the wonderful blogs out there that has inspired me and helped me become a better papercrafter.  This card uses a stamp set by one of my favorite stamp companies, Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you come back.

    • Thanks, Tamara! I added your site to my google reader. I made a goal to try and make 7 cards a week, so far I’ve met that goal the last three weeks!

  1. Congrats on getting your blog up and running. I love your card today and look forward to seeing a lot more from you. Love the title for your blog!

  2. Caren, Congratulations! I was just Googling free blog sites last night but didn’t make any decision. Was it easier than you thought? Love your card and blog header!

    • Kathy, thank you. I actually have my own domain and didn’t go with a free site. I use WordPress which is available via my domain provider. I wouldn’t say this way is easy, but there is a lot of information out there.

  3. How fun… I get to be your first comment!! I love the card! I just got Gracious Vases in the mail yesterday and it is AWESOME! 🙂 More wonderful than it looked online… love that! Love the paper you used to paper piece the vases! Really makes them pop! GREAT job!
