MACM - Erica
Hi all! This week's card is for a good friend and former SU! upline, Erica! :) She's such a cutie so I thought I'd make her a little card. Really, I LOVE making cards for specific people! Especially when their name is on them--let's them know you were thinking about them for the entire time you were making the card. :)I also tried a little watercoloring on a flower from Stampin' Up!'s Pretties Kit. I like how it turned out, but I also wish I would have put more color on it. It looks a little anemic? But alas, it dried lighter than I anticipated. Remember that for when you color a flower... Paint it darker than you want because it will dry back quite a bit.
I just realized that these colors are similar to the colors in last year's Polka Dots & Paisleys paper. And we all know how much I loved that paper... LOTS! :)

Absolutely beautiful and definitely inspiring
Another very pretty card, Kristina. I just love your blog...check it every day! Your videos and MACM are awesome! Look forward to it every Monday. ---I hope to be available to participate in the live chat this evening.
Kristina, this is so cute! That's a fun alpha stamp set! Have fun tonight!
Love that alphabet set and love how the card came together.
Waow, another superb card. I love it!
Thanks for sharing.

Loved the ink watercoloring on the flower. It is nice to be reminded of things that are easy to forget like you can change the color of a flower easily. Great card. Love MACM.
I look forward to Mondays!!You put a smile on my face. Great card. You totally shocked be when you didn't use your stamp-a-ma-jig?!?!?! It is very rare for you not to use it. Can't wait until tonight...it'll be worth staying up late in Michigan to chat with the master:)
J-me

Ok, I'm at LiveVideo and I've turned on my camera and I've clicked on the "camera" button, but it won't log me in. Is that what I should have done? How do I turn on the camera on my iMac? I have the photobooth camera on, is that what I need?
The way you did the letters is very similar to the sticker names made with crytals by Me and My BIG ideas I found at AC Moore craft store. They were on sale for $1. I love 'em. I love bling! Would love to see a demo with transparencies. I saw an album with it on a class at the CK trade show and would love to learn how to make one. teacher is from The Button Farm.
Hope tonite goes well. From Mary in Maine

You just can't be using a stamp set that is not available...are you crazy? Now do you know what I must do to find that stamp set? Geez...give me more work to do (LOL)...love this card especially the color combo and the STAMP SET that is NOT AVAILABLE???!!!
Just signed up to livechat and maybe I will get a chance to figure out how to work my video camera into my !Mac and use it as a webcam of sorts otherwise, will just need to enjoy the chatting..can' wait!!!
Dont' worry, I'm normally not this crazy or chatty..I just have had the flu these past few days and well, it's gotten to my head a bit...
Kristina...I pretty much love everything you do. Seriously. Everything. :)
I think I've got it!! Thanks, KW! Hopefully I'll see you tonight.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Lucy G
Ok so every Monday at some point I slap my forhead and go "OMG it's make a card Monday!" then rush frantically to a computer to see what you've come up with.
Is that weird? :-)
Love your stuff.
I would have never thought to watercolor the flower! How creative!
WOOHOOO! The stamp set is available still!

I had a great time in LIVE CHAT tonite, so fun. I feel like we are old friends!!!! Thanks for taking time to answer questions and have some laughs!!!
Talk soon
Carie
There are some cakes on my blog here: www.caremarkandson/blogspot.com but you have to really scroll down and go to the archives, I have not posted there for quite sometime!!!!!
Thanks so much for the chat. It was a lot of fun! I love your blog and appreciate the way you explain everything.
Kristina - I wanted to give you another great WW recipe that you may already know about:
More of a muffin-y thing than cupcakes but so moist and fantastic
1 can of pumpkin
1 box of yellow cake mix
I believe that in 2 of them there is only 1 point!!! I love this recipe and it isn't super pumpkin-y...the lady I got the recipe from loved topping them with cool whip free.
Will you have another chat soon? I was at work (high school) prepping for my evaluation tomorrow so I wasn't able to make it! :( Thanks for another great MACM!

Aww... I missed the live chat! :( Had to work. Downloaded today's MACM song - thanks for always including the info!
Very pretty card! Loved the idea of painting the flower. Easy way to get an exact colour match! Thank you!
Such fantastic colors!! Love this layout too!
Kristina
You make designing cards so easy! It takes me so long....Love all your creations especially on MACM...thanks so much for sharing.
I wish there was some way we could watch the video of the live chat...sorry I missed it!
CHAT WAS AWESOME!!!! We have to do it again and this time get more overseas people with their cool accents and ideas:) It was worth staying up way past midnight to enjoy the night of fun!!
Thought you'd get a kick out of this http://splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9113405#post9113405 thread on SCS. I hope you don't get arrested!
Kristina
it was nice the chat yesterday!! we have to do that again!!

Luv your card. Is that Fontwerks stamp set by SU? If not, can you give me the web site for this or similar stamp fonts?
Wow. This is the first time I saw your blog and I am telling you ...
WOW!
I love it. Thanks so much for having such a cool site! And I love that song "Silver Lining".. might have to go buy that!
I can't believe I missed the chat but I just was feeling so miserable...my voice is terrible and I keep coughing...that would not have been fun for anyone...I'm sure everyone would have been like...girl, just mute yourself pleeezzzze!
I guess I will be a hopeful soul for the next chat meeting.
Oh...glad to hear that stamp set is available...so glad someone found it...otherwise, I would have had to call my bud Grace Abuzman for it.
Love your work!!!!
Love the card it's so cute! FYI I use re-inkers and an aquapainter when coloring those flowers to make them darker - since the ink is more concentrated it works a lot better!! :)
Wow!!!!!! Your video is amazing!!!! I love it - and I adore your card, too!!!!!
