Playing with paper....

Not sure where Saturday went, but I had the urge to play with some paper today and made some notecards....
Scrapbook paper is like a cheap drug to me and I just can't resist picking up new paper when I get a chance. I love making notecards and made a few today to share with friends.

I did have a finish last week....

LK "Ready or Not" stitched on 18 ct. aida w/ DMC

I just love these LK Santas and have another to add to my collection. I think I am going to make a little flanged pillow some day!

Oh well...hope to go put some stitches in while I watch my Clemson Tigers beat up on Alabama....19-3 in the top of the 6th....there should be law against this abuse! ;)

  5. Wonderful cards, Karen. I loved your saying, "Play with paper," because that's just the phrase I use when I do it!!! LOL Thought I was the only Carolina girl who said that! :P
    Yay, Clemson! 'though I'm a Carolina girl of the NC sort.
    Hugs,

  15. I like to make cards too, but haven't in quite awhile only because I got back into my stitching! LOL

    Yours are so cute and it's so nice to send something handmade.

    Your LK Santa is darling! I think a flanged pillow would be really cute w/that design. I need to get busy and stitch them too!

    Thanks for the inspiration ~ I always enjoy seeing your creations

  20. I love those Santa's too. I need to find out what years I'm missing and go purchase them. I've finished this one you've just stitched, except for the ball on his hat on 18ct linen (I think) with some speciality threads so that his trim is soft. I too would like to finish them into pillows to display on the back of my sofa some day.
    Cute cards, can we see a closer picture of them?

  26. Beautiful cards Karen. You have got a great talent with paper :)

    I saw what you made for Amy's Niece. Can you please tell me where you got the Palmetto Button? I am stitching the SC state flag for my Aunt and that button would be a great accent.

    Take Care!!
