Layout "My Tree"

Hey there!

This layout was published in the "Papeles y Más" magazine from which I am DT member.  The page features my 2012 Christmas tree.

I used lots of the embellishments I love... doilies, glitter, buttons, baker's twine, bling bling, washi tapes and ink... among others.

For the title, I combined chipboard letters from AC with my handwriting.

I framed the top star with these jewels and doily, while extending the photo out of the traditional mat.

I really loved how balanced it turned out.  You cand find more about this (list of materials and instructions) in the magazine.  Or leave a comment in this post and/or email me letting me know any questions.

See you around.  Don't forget to be imperfect.

CAS Baby Girl Card

Hello...

Remember my post about the little baby girl who recently arrived to our planet Earth? LOL...  Here's the post I'm referring to where I show the shadow box.

Just wanted to stop by and show you the card I made to go with the gift.

It's a CAS (clean and simple) card I made with stamps from LYB. 

I used a patterned paper from Prima with solid card base from AC and stamped directly on it.

Added some baker's twine, a jewel (elephant's eye) and glitter (in the flowers stamp on the giraffe).

I think it came out pretty.  And it was very simple and easy to do using different stamps and inks.

Just another example of how simple tools can provide for a great project.

Tks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful week!

Granny's baby girl

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Whatever your activities are during the week, hope you are seeing the positive side of them all... the blessings behind each moment of our lives.  There's always one positive side... Sometimes we just don't know about it until later.  Hang on!

I am sharing today a tag I made for the grandmother of the little baby girl I told you about the other day.  Please refer to this post HERE.

Her grandmother is a very strong, hard worker, hyper, nice woman!  She likes scrapbooking too but it seems she doesn't dedicate too much time to it as she would like.

But the thing is that I bet she will be a wonderful granny!

So I made this tag to congratulate her for the granddaughter news!!!!

I used Prima papers combined with American Crafts stickers, doily, sequins, rub-ons and ribbons.

I basically combined shabby chic with some modern elements.

I hope she liked the tag... just a detail to remind her how blessed she is for having such a great treasure... to be a granny.
