I'm Dreaming of a WINE Christmas!

 Happy Sunday my friends.

It's been a very quite weekend... washing clothes, cooking, just at home... and some crafting too.  Good for a change, since I've been very active in work related activities and parties lately.  But still, think I need to do something today.  Maybe I will be hanging out later today... but for now wanted to share a card I made yesterday following a nice sketch I found recently in this blog called Deconstructed Jen.  This gal shares her work and sketches just for fun.

This is the sketch DS181:

And this is my take!  

I combined Unity Stamps from two different itty bitties kits... one related to wine and one related to Christmas... and why not?  I'm dreaming on a wine Christmas...LOL!

I used baker's twine, cork, washi tapes, cardstock and design paper, over a kraft base.

For the multicolor stamped image, I just added the inks directly to the areas of the stamp I wanted to cover and wanted to be as imperfect as possible so tried to apply so there were no specific sections for each color.  The circles int he background were made with a stencil from Crafters Workshop.

Hope you like it.

Besides linking this to Deconstructed Sketch No. 181, I will share this also in facebook (Scrapper Myra), Unity Show & Tell, and Unity Friends with Flair.

Wine & Friends Mini Album

Friends, friends, friends...

Welcome to the last Friday of February, and the last day of the month too!!!!

You know how was my last month awaiting for the Scrapbooking convention to be held last Sunday!!! It was crazy.

It finally arrived and was stupendous!

Shared some time with part of the "Papeles y Más" magazine DT, from which I am a member.  By the way, I am loving to be part of this team. I am having so much fun!

I had a great time.  First time I see a scrapbooking convention from the other side.  But it is not a dark side...  LOL!  I arrived and immediately wanted to do things, but I then realized time was passing by very fast and it was time for my class.

I had a group of wonderful students/friends and had a great time.

They said they were very happy with the project and even though we could not finish it in the 1:45hr timeframe, I think they were pleased... thank God!

We made a 10-page 6"x6" mini album in a box... with lots of textures, hand made embellishments and lots of stamps from Unity Stamp Co....  

Here are some of the pages to share with you and taking advantage of this post to say THANK YOU for all your wishes and positive thoughts.  I had such a great experience!  It is very nice to honor this hobby as an activity to get people together, to learn from each other, and to have a good time... that's it.. no more than that.  You don't complicate your hobby thinking who said this and that, who's better or worse... you just share and enjoy.  I loved this experience.

Tks to Unity Stamp Co.  Tks to Revista Papeles y Más.  And Tks to YOU!
