For people like me who still like to use designer papers and punches, bows and embellishments, it saddens me a bit to see how limited the selections are now.  Even the rubber stamping businesses are closing shop.  Ugggh!  I know simple is good in a different way. . .it's faster to create cards and scrapbook layouts and also less expensive because you don't have to buy as many items, but gosh, in my opinion, it haven't been good for the paper crafting industry.  </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Thankfully, I still a lot of scrapbook papers, punches, dies and rubber stamps to last me a lifetime!   Anyway, just my thoughts with what is going on in the paper crafting world. </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I think they stopped making designer papers which I find very sad.  I loved their paper designs.  A lot of paper crafting businesses have closed down.  I think the scrapbooking industry has suffered the most by this CAS trend.  For consumers, it's a good thing because you no longer have to buy a lot of supplies to make a card or scrapbooking so it's good for your wallet.  Personally, I want my cards to look like I made them not emulate printed cards. I love blings and pretty paper designs.  I like my cards layered with bows with lots of pretty colors.  Anyway, that's just my opinion. </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6UJHtj0jkpTBK8y9mN2_agNTi5QH1gCch58VTi7aL39LtwvhfJTb5cGzM0SqbxUqFupqr7w8aRRUCve0mEpY79Ca6sY1h_BVZfHUboORSyVMwGJqMdBEE1bYLDvsaAwZLMHyWfsZ3_hZ/s1600/IMG_2700+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6UJHtj0jkpTBK8y9mN2_agNTi5QH1gCch58VTi7aL39LtwvhfJTb5cGzM0SqbxUqFupqr7w8aRRUCve0mEpY79Ca6sY1h_BVZfHUboORSyVMwGJqMdBEE1bYLDvsaAwZLMHyWfsZ3_hZ/s1600/IMG_2700+copy.jpg" height="640" width="552" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;">  The image on this card is by Penny Black.  I love Penny Black images.  They have really cute animal stamps.</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqqEaqmHI1oysPLdrXv9jwiENH-4oFtxjy5WmYInMQzNBe9t_Wnd8LZGvHAIS0RTbPHcxubP-hVxRkrJw-TsqZSJQY3dpnYtxVelEmSF4lQhNYZurh9ajVUlgvjM2jMn4m2wHMHhKqWlC3/s1600/IMG_2714+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqqEaqmHI1oysPLdrXv9jwiENH-4oFtxjy5WmYInMQzNBe9t_Wnd8LZGvHAIS0RTbPHcxubP-hVxRkrJw-TsqZSJQY3dpnYtxVelEmSF4lQhNYZurh9ajVUlgvjM2jMn4m2wHMHhKqWlC3/s1600/IMG_2714+copy.jpg" height="640" width="482" /> </a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The image on this card is by Whipper Snapper.  They also have very cute animal images. </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAJINERNxJAYrZ5XAkmIS8ZqPmTlOdncAGwilkmb8wSmmXkHcULpDGggl_GMCCosT53S7EkNg_qXwh-Jpz4p0s-DqK8lqTj7HZZH8nG9Uks0Y4o0GCwSI9rTUxlwScXgSE6sdVh_hXO51E/s1600/IMG_2719+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAJINERNxJAYrZ5XAkmIS8ZqPmTlOdncAGwilkmb8wSmmXkHcULpDGggl_GMCCosT53S7EkNg_qXwh-Jpz4p0s-DqK8lqTj7HZZH8nG9Uks0Y4o0GCwSI9rTUxlwScXgSE6sdVh_hXO51E/s1600/IMG_2719+copy.jpg" height="640" width="582" /></a></div> <br /> The image on this card is by the Greeting Farm.   <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuEcTgR-MX0uph4T2hzGEVaHRNVQqRrY1KuPnPHWRXc5nMZNQuJ2-TDUKRTYWm9ZnLjYD8SNRtoP-kcXvkIoEGlVhVfCwjzxGiPH_ncvmHlzLbf7G9knBaCz0PdgpSFTCskjNlvgW2bFYR/s1600/IMG_2744+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuEcTgR-MX0uph4T2hzGEVaHRNVQqRrY1KuPnPHWRXc5nMZNQuJ2-TDUKRTYWm9ZnLjYD8SNRtoP-kcXvkIoEGlVhVfCwjzxGiPH_ncvmHlzLbf7G9knBaCz0PdgpSFTCskjNlvgW2bFYR/s1600/IMG_2744+copy.jpg" height="640" width="624" /></a></div> <br />  Awww and the image on this card is by Pink Cat Studio. <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: left;"> That's it for today.  I have a paper to write for one of my classes.  I have so many papers to write, reading assignments, and projects to do.  This quarter has been a struggle for me.  I can't wait to finish.  I'm hoping to complete the program by May.  I have thought of getting my Master's degree but after going through this certificate program, I'm not quite sure I could handle it.  I love learning but I don't love writing papers and graduate school requires a lot of writing so I'm not sure it's something I want to do anymore.  The future is uncertain right now but I'm trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel but lately, it's been a bit of difficult to see it.  I'm just hoping things will work out and good things will come my way.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Thank you for stopping by and hope to blog again real soon!

I'm hoping to get back on track again.   Anyone have a Fitbit?  </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GpVMOm5Wi11aXpdIoLGA8QiHKeL5CtvCmALCZUwJrLLcfg0-iY9bakh3pI_kuGn2hECdLGrDsuu2wqSjt0_rr6tF0dk5vPw7ljsXIWt2jIsbrCKaT2ftUu1f8V4y2L62yBegDr5UhAMy/s1600/IMG_2481+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!!  I'm back.  I actually made some of these cards earlier this month but I figured I'll share them with you.  Someone mentioned that they like that I still create "layered" cards.  Honestly, I don't like clean and simple cards.  You have to be very talented to make something simple look . . .well, creative, if not, it just looks plain ole' simple.  LOL!  Besides, if I create simple cards what am I going to do with all the stuff I have?  Sell them at prices that aren't even 25% of what I purchased them for?  Nope.  I'm not rich enough to literally give them away without feeling bad about it.  In the meantime, I'll try to use up what I can until I feel comfortable enough to sell them at dirt cheap prices on Ebay.  I have a rule for many of my rubber stamps.  I have to at least use them at least 3 times before I consider selling them unless I really don't like them.  But the ones I do like, I'll use them as many times until I get tired of them.  It helps that I do sell my cards on Etsy because it forces me to use my stuff and continue creating.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Okay back to my cards.  For the card above, I used my Unity Stamps.  I've used this image several times in the past.  I think this is the first time I inked it this year.  I used Stampin Up designer paper which I have tons of.  I recently bought the "chevron" design embossing folder which I used on my card.  I love it!! </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I haven't blogged much this year.  There was a time when I blogged almost every day.  Life has changed and other things in life became a priority.  I miss those days when blogging was still new.  It was so fun to meet new friends and share our work with one another.   I've been blogging for 8 years I believe.  I started back in 2006 or 2007 and I still keep in touch with a bunch of my blogging friends that I've met through my blog.  We keep in touch on Facebook.  A lot of them have moved on and no longer make hand made cards or rubber stamp and instead moved on to other hobbies or just quit crafting all together but most still craft and create regularly.  </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> I did make a few cards the past few days.  I had a bunch of projects, assignments and exam for school the past week but I'm done with last weeks assignments so I was able to make a few cards yesterday.  </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Yay me!  I've been enjoying the experience of learning something new again.  I'm actually pursuing 2 post-baccalaureate certificates in Medical Case Management and Community Case Management.  They are certificates for RNs who want to move into the field of case management.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> I've always wanted to do case management work and hopefully, in the future I'll be able to land a job in this area of nursing.  Many of the jobs in the field are within the community and I've been learning quite a lot so far.  I'm currently taking a Clinical Ethics class and many of what we are learning has really helped me to understand what is going on with the Ebola crisis. It's a very interesting course so far.  I'm really enjoying learning more about the ethical dilemmas that occur in the medical field.  </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Anyway. . . that's what I've been doing.  I am still making cards regularly but I haven't blogged my cards in a while. I usually just post them on my <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CardInspired" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a></b> and on my <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Inspired.Unscripted?ref=hl" target="_blank">Facebook page</a></b>.  Social media has changed quite a bit in the past year or two, where Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter have been the main area where people share their work as opposed to blogging them.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> I think the reason why a lot of people turn to Instagram, FB, etc is that there is instant gratification.  The interaction is more social and you normally receive an instant response.  And with the fast pace of life, it's easier to post a small blurb than to write long commentaries.  I don't know. . .I have noticed that many of the more active bloggers don't blog as often as they used to or there are less of them it seems.  I'm not sure if most of them moved on to sharing their work on Facebook or the other social media sites.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX9KAcU5CyWdmV8towN3NF55y55Wi8fw4SQUWdXdhSuWqhoD9rWinmk5m-N3H-X34RmYVc0IWRKlETYyxKmxz6IBcUKyIVItgDVuU2_a1ix4fMChmtbnWjC2LG3SvNQmptw3wvCfO5xaxs/s1600/IMG_1904+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX9KAcU5CyWdmV8towN3NF55y55Wi8fw4SQUWdXdhSuWqhoD9rWinmk5m-N3H-X34RmYVc0IWRKlETYyxKmxz6IBcUKyIVItgDVuU2_a1ix4fMChmtbnWjC2LG3SvNQmptw3wvCfO5xaxs/s1600/IMG_1904+copy.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> I've noticed recently that the majority of the Christmas images I have are snowman images.  I have a lot of snowman rubber stamps and very few Santa images.  I thought that was interesting.  I never really noticed that in the past.  Believe it or not but I've had these High Hopes rubber stamps for years and I've never used them!  I have so many rubber stamps that I just can't get around to using all of them. Yes, I have that many.  It's actually insane how many I have. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLw7GP8koPKfJEDIlSg3eTs7v_NDQ1rS3cQ_nNRWXI-ERAI1l_rhjjLWw3zkDXLEdz1HlQsI788cPfYXtXemzu5y5xBo8YALju26WjzMOWs-6DL9YMcvvWjhyphenhyphenMXbZhyphenhyphen7yGUY_B-9LdLd8v/s1600/IMG_1913+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
