Hello Challenges

Happy Day friends. 

Stopping by very quickly to share a card made for some challenges. 

It is a Christmas card with a "love" twist.  The white stamping is also key.   Love how red, green and white colors look over kraft. 

I will link this up to:

I love to read your comments. Please make me happy. 

Curtain Call Challenge and FWF

Well well... Here I am posting a card to share with you.  I really loved this image when  saw this challenge from Curtain Call, so tried to get some time to participate. 

Here's my take:

I used design paper to make the banner and added some butlap and sequins. At the bottom added some corrugated paper and bakers twine. 

One of the sections in the banner has a birthday sentiment.  This and the beautiful bike are stamps from Unity Stamp Co. So besides linking this to Curtain Call, will do the same with Friends with Flair at Unity, so make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win with Unity Stamp Co. They select a winner from the comments of all entries. 

Tks for stopping by my friends!!!

BTS Playing Cards

Hey friends. 

Love the fact it is Friday. It sounds as words I've said before but I assure it is a genuine new and fresh feeling every time.

Today I am sharing a project published recently in the Papeles y Más magazine. 

The assignment was to make educational games for Back to School season. I made these playing cards with vocals and numbers. Check them out.  

In one side the letters and numbers and on the other side the images to associate. 

I am linking this today to Friday Friends with Flair at Unity Stamp Co.  Leave a message/comment for a chance to win.  Besides, I looooveee to read your comments. 

 

A Special Card

I read in the web today that there were some gay events around the World this week.   That reminded me of a personalized card I recently made for a friend. He gave it to a couple on their anniversary.  It needed to be a quick card because I really had a lot of projects that day and this was an extra.  He knows!  But I wanted it to be unique though. 

I stamped the image from Unity Stamp Co in the center. I chose these feathers with script to communicate time and history. This couple celebrated 11 years together so there must be a lot to say, remember and cherish. 

Then I made a mask to cover the image and painted the base with distress ink all over.  Love the achieved effect when I took out the mask.

The sentiment, heart and number images are from Inkadinkado. 

And the two wood embellishments are ftom Latina Crafter. 

I then distressed the edges and placed on a yellow cardstock card base. 

I was told they loved the card. 

Happy Anniversary!!!

A card for Danny...

Hello friends. 

Sometimes a simple card can be such a great detail.   It can bring happiness, memories, make you feel you are not alone... And more.  They can be fun too. 

A friend shared these news in facebook, about a little boy having a tumor, and wanting to receive lots of cards for his birthday coming up real soon. 

He will be 6 in a few days and I thought it could be fun to send him a card.  His family is actually asking people to do so. 

So I managed to be up earlier this morning to make him a card. I used different design papers, buttons, chipboard elements, bakers twine and stamps. 

I sent the card by mail today and I am hoping to later find out the he received a lot of cards as expected. 

Wanna send him a card?  Read more about it here:    http://abcnews.go.com/US/mass-boy-battling-cancer-birthday-bunch-birthday-cards/story?id=24626702. 

Only 5 days left!

Do you know I have a challenge going on?  Yes, I do!!!!

It's a color challenge just for fun. 

Make a project using the colors below as inspiration. 

Send me by email or facebook the photo of the project. If we get 10 friends to participate, one will win goodies. 

More information here:

This is a card I made using my own color challenge. 

I will be waiting for your entries!!!!

Have a great weekend!

You can do anything!

Feliz viernes!!!!   Wooohoooo!!!  It is Friday!!!   I know you know... Just need to day it... LOL. 

When you have self confident you think you can do anything. If you fail, you are realistic enough to understand and learn from it. If you succeed you get more confidence to continue doing more things. 

This card reminds me that. Love the sentiment and the analogy with the shoes.  Hope you like it too. 

I will have another class soon. Keep informed here and following me on facebook. 

Hope you have a Friday full of confidence.

A card for a SWAP

Hola. Feliz viernes!   Hello. Happy Friday!

I hope you have plans for a great weekend.  As you know, I am getting ready for the scrapbooking  convention coming up. So I will be very busy. Sure I will find some time for wine. LOL. 

This is a card I made for a St Valentine's swap with the DT I am part of.  I did not want to use traditional hearts and kisses but honor the women's heart in this opportunity.  These women in my team are all hard workers, creative, and most of them have their own businesses. As myself, some work full time with a lot of pressure but still have time for the hobby and for the support of the magazine's DT.    Add to that the fact some of them havechildren  and other responsibilities. 

So the message had to be inspiring... And appropriate for a woman's heart.   These stamps were perfect for that. 

The recipient was a wonderful and talented woman:  Zulma. 

She loved the card and I loved making it for her. 

Love you just the way you are!

Happy Saturday my friends. The only fact you are alive and able to read this post, makes today a wonderful day. Think about it. 

Here is a card I made using a Stampahoot stamp. Nice couple, huh?

I used watercolor pencils to give'em some life. Also complemented with other stamps (Unity Stamp Co), strips of patterned paper, doillie and sequins. 

It resulted very cute and I really enjoyed making it which is at the end the most important part of this amazing imperfect process. LOL. 

Love life just the way it is... Imperfect and wonderful!!!

Tks for your visit. 

It is my anniversary!

Hello my dear friends!

I am very happy and celebrating 16 years of wedding anniversary. 

We are very happy and very grateful for this gift God has given us... Our love and the blessing of being together enjoying life. 

I made this CAS style card for my dear hubby.  Since we both enjoy wine so much I used this new wine stamps from Unity Stamp Co.  

I know it is not the traditional anniversary card but I am sure he will love it. 

I will link this post to the Friday Friends with Flair at Unity. Make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win. 

Have a great weekend.
