Happy National Golf Day.  I do not play Golf but due to today being National Golf Day I thought I would create some Birthday Cards with a Golf theme.  I do have to say this was a challenge because they didn't turn out like I wanted them to it just seems like there is something missing.  I left it alone because I didn't want to mess it up. Sorry for the quality of the picture.

Today is a very quick card that I put together in a hurry.  I am always surfing the internet for card ideas.  I seen this weeks ago when doing a search and I cased it from http://www.stephmade.com/  I used scrap printed cardstock I had from Stampin Up and card base is also from Stampin Up. I like how it turned out, very simple without overdoing it. Tell me what you think.

I have been cleaning on my craft area and rearranging it and it has been taking forever to get anything done.  Today I just wanted to share with you my Die Cutting Station in my Basement Craft room. I craft on a budget and I try to work with what I have.  So here is a glimpse into my world.

Hello everyone my name is Crystle K., I have been so busy with school starting and like some of you know I work full time and my husband, at this moment in our lives, works at night so I am a single parent in the evening to 3 wonderful kids.  I have decided to move my blog over to this new blog which is easier to find for some of you due to the name. Now the name why did I chose a name like this.  Well I am a Basement Crafter.  My stamping/crafting studio is in our basement of our home.  I try to craft each day but like everyone else life happens before fun.  I am getting back into crafting and creating cards.  I hope you will follow me on this wonderful journey.  I hope to see each and everyone of you each day on this blog and will share with me your creations as we all become creative and have fun in the process.  I have been crafting for over 35 years.  Come and enjoy the creating process with me.
