Happy Halloween!!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Halloween weekend!

I went to a party last Friday... and tomorrow will probably do some trick or treat around the neighborhood...

We've been several years in a row wearing customs at work... and each department select a theme and enjoy a get together... However, this year is not the case... Guess economic situation and tension have limited budget and intentions too... We'll have fun anyway... We are a very good team.

Let me share with you this simple Halloween card...

Little Frankie is a digi image from a free download. I don't have the name of the source. If someone knows please let me know and I will give the corresponding credit.

I used distressed inks combined with watercolor pencils to paint the image. It's not really the best painted image but I finally liked it combined with the TAC papers and the other elements.

Letters are Tim Holtz', border is from Bazzill, and stamps are from Inkadindado. I hope you like it or at least give you some inspiration...Boo!!!

Also wanted to share my custom this year... I was a policewoman and my husband was an inmate... LOL!!!

Your comments are always very appreciated. During the last weeks I haven't had the chance to respond to many of them, but I assure you I read them and that they make me feel I am your friend. Thanks for not stopping visiting my blog, recommend it to your friends and be a follower... Take care :)

Wine Country

Oh Yes! I had the opportunity to visit Napa Valley, CA a few weeks ago!!!! Isn't that a blessing? Thank you God for letting me go to places... and have fun... and learn... and laugh... and taste wine... and see how beautiful our World is...

I am still reviewing in my mind.... A balloon flight full of beautiful sights... seeing the sunrise like never before...

Tasting of wines that are not exported... signature labels from great wineries... while enjoying a view to the vineyards...

Grapes, and grapes, and grapes... in the middle of harvest! Cabernet, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay... All my juicy little friends...

Touch the fruit... feel the emotion of looking at wine capsules (this is what my husband calls the grapes)... future glorious liquid in a bottle we'll be able to enjoy in evolution.... mmmmmmm...

I really enjoyed our trip to Napa... Had the opportunity to visit lots of wineries... I will share more in future posts... I can't do it right now... I am still mesmerized and walking on clouds.

Super Hero Birthday!

Hey...

A friend asked me to make a birthday card for a friend who loves comics, but specially Wonder Woman...

It's an adult, but my friend wanted me to include this image of the Wonder Woman comic page and add his name...

So, I thought that would be cool to use a patterned paper I had from the All About Boys stack form DCWV... and created the card.

I added the name with felt letters and support the "child" look of the card....

I also added the message in 3D so the card can be opened and display in a cool way...

I hope you liked it! This card is for an adult who has a child inside ... This reminds me how important it is to allow us to enjoy common things we sometimes think are not "for us" because of our age or any other reason... No, no... don't do that... enjoy what you enjoy, laugh if it makes you laugh... and don't bother about it...

Have a good day!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Yeah! Today's my birthday... I am out of town... I combined a business trip with some additional time for pleasure, so I can have an excuse to celebrate my birthday and celebrate life...

I am so grateful! Life has given me so may things I enjoy... and some that I don't, but they make me be me... it's just like that!

So when you read this scheduled post I left to say hello, I should be having mixed feelings thinking about how can time passes so fast, and at the same time convincing myself to get older with dignity and accept my lines and knees in pain, LOL!!!!

Seriously, I should be finishing a business trip and taking this day off because I need to celebrate that I'm alive!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday... lalalalalalala...
