Lack of interest

Because there has been such lack of interest in my Giveaway I took it down from You Tube. I was hoping that all the people I have subscribed to would also subscribe to my channel and also to my blog. I don't know what I can do to promote an interest in my blog and my creations. This really saddens me. I was hoping that my blog and You Tube would be an outlet where I could share with other crafters what I am doing and that they would enjoy seeing my creations as I enjoy seeing their's. Crafting is all I can do because physically I am limited to what I can do. So to end this there will be no giveaway Monday December 17th, The mini album is really cute. So sorry no one will receive it.

Rules for Giveaway

TO enter the giveaway you have to subscribe to my You Tube Channel caroldru2 Handmade cards and crafts by carol or my blog carolwatsonscreations.blogspot.com and make a comment about the album. The Giveaway is Monday December 17th. I must have at least 15 responses  to have the giveaway. One per person.

Just another note regarding the album. I got the design(pages) for the album from KrytalsNightlyCreations or Just a Few Designs. Not sure which one. And then I decorated it and made it my own.  The paper pack I used came from Big Lots and I'm not sure what the name of it is.  I used stickers and embellishments that I already had in my stash and Paperwishes dazzles.  Hope you like the album and will enter to win.

Good Luck!

Carol

Four new cards..3 made with Elmer's Designer Masking Tape

I had fun making these cards with the Elmer's Designer Masking Tape. Thanks Holly for the tape! Hope you like my cards. I made one masculine card that was very easy. I used stamps from Paperwishes. I used my Vintage Label punch on one of the sentiments. Thanks for watching.

Thanks again for watching. Hope someone will get some inspiration from these cards.

A New Card..This is No Bluff....

A new card I made for a friend who likes to play poker and golf. This was fun to make. Used  Digital Paper collection that I purchased and downloaded from Stampin' Up called Jackpot II. I created the wordage using poker language and printed them out and punched them out with the Vintage Label punch. Used HP presentation paper to print out the papers. All  pictures  I found on the internet. I used large brads and buttons as poker chips. I painted white dots on them and topped them with glossy accents. The paint wanted to rub off. The brads, buttons and arrows are from Paperwishes. Hope you get some inspiration from my card. Thanks for watching.

A cute mini album

I learned how to make this mini album from Mary at Cardz TV's daughter Lynn. Super easy and holds alot of pictures. Enjoy watching. Thanks!

A Little Birdie Told Me

My Mom's birthday is August 5th so here is the card I made her. I got the inspiration from Mary at Cardz TV. Thanks Mary. Mine is a little different than hers. I used Echo Park paper from the Country Drive. These are papers that I actually downloaded frrom Jessica Sprague's site. They print out awesome but need to be printed on matte presentation paper for the best look. I used the bird from Create a Critter. She has a flower for her head so no need to use a separate punch. I used some papers I already had for the bird and part of the Elegant Edges oblong . Turned out so cute. She loves birds and bird watching so I think she will really like her card.

Pinterest

Due to information I have read about pinning or repinning info on pinterest, I have decided to delete all my boards. Rules say unless you have ownership of what you pin it is not legal to pin it. I thought this was a sharing social network where you just are sharing things you like on the internet. I would think that's no different than surfing the net. Why does this have to be a complicated mess!?

 I got the inspiration for this card from Pinterest. I of course always make it my way. I purchased the papers from Stampin' Up.(digital download) Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper. I used some of those papers and some I already had. I also used papers I purchased from Stockberry Studio. Check them out for downloadable papers.

I made this card using Stamp TV paper. Love Black, red and white.    Hope everyone is having a great day!
