Welcome to Cards by Amy K.

I am SO GLAD you stopped by to check out my blog!!! Here I will be posting my current projects for you to see. PLEASE feel free to leave me a comment. I would LOVE to hear what you think about what I'm working on. I have been a scrapbooker/paper crafter since I first caught wind of this wonderful hobby in 2006. I am lucky enough to get to spend my days doing something I love so much and which brings so much joy into my life. I first started scrapbooking as a way to pass the time as I found myself at home alone all day suddenly, now I can't imagine life without it. Too bad I don't get paid for it, then I really would have it all!!!

Merry Christmas and some handmade gifts








I will try and keep this post short sense there are so many pictures.  I got the bird house ornament template from A piece of Craft.  Marion issued a challenge for people to decorate the bird houses on You tube and I thought it was such a pretty ornament.  You could make this ornament in any color or theme and it would still be lovely.  I used paper from My Minds Eye for mine.  Love love love this little bird house ornament.
The altered charger plates was also an idea that I got from the lovely ladies on You tube.  I got the idea from "Lovemyella".  I used paper from Basic Grey and some floral picks I got from Michael's and a photo of Brian and I from a couple of years ago.  I didn't have a more recent pic of the two of us as I am always behind the camera. I made two of these plates just like I did the bird houses, one for each of our Mothers for Christmas.  I hope they like them.
I made these charms for my mother.  She saw one of mine in the car the other day and mentioned that she would like to have some of her own.  I made each of these charms on lobster clasp so that she could easily add them to her key chain or to her purse.  Just where ever she would like to add them.  Okay, that's all for now, I've got gifts to wrap and desserts to make.  I hope you and yours have  a very Merry Christmas this Holiday season as you spend time with family and friends. Keep in mind the real reason for this season and keep the Savior in your heart.
