Karen's Coastal Corner: With Love

Hi everyone!

My name is Karen, I live on the (sometimes) sunny NSW Central Coast, have a partner who has three great kids, have 4 1/2 dogs (share one with the partner), and am discovering the world of paper crafts and scrapbooking!

Started scrapbooking approx 5 yr ago, and have realised it's an ever evolving craft ... so many new things, techniques etc coming out all the time - it's hard to keep up! For example, recently discovered Copic markers - oh what fun we are having now! As a consequence, my house is always one of organised chaos lol.

I fund my hobbies (or habits, I haven't decided which yet) working as a pet groomer here on the coast, which also caters for my love of animals. I have been showing dogs since I was 8 yr old, and will never be with a canine companion. Next year, hopefully one of the girls will be having puppies - a whole new subject to scrap!

With Love

I have found an awesome new website - Hooked on Craft - big on embellishments perfect for cards (especially flowers, to the point I have already ordered, and received a huge postal bag of flowers already!!) plus they have a challenge blog!

This is their third challenge, and they have themed this challenge "With Love", so our creations had to embody this idea.

I have chosen a card I did recently: stamp is from Tickled Pink Stamps, coloured with Copic markers. It's a rather simple card, but I quite like it, especially as it's in my favourite colour, purple!

I am entering this card in the Hooked On Craft Ch allenge No.3 - thanks for looking!
