Unity Be Inspired Challenge

Hello my friends... Today is a good day... everyday has its own magic, don't you think?

I want to share a card I made for a very special co worker whose birthday was a couple of days ago.   A writer, among other things... very talented person... a dreamer.


I used the inspirational colors from the Unity Be Inspired Challenge, and several stamps from different kits.  Used a mask to stamp one image behind another.  The background was made with watercolor pencils and water brush.  The sentiment was heat embossed for a special texture.


Love the card is so unique... never will be one with same design since the watercolor can never be the same over and over... :)

Tks for your visit.. and make today your special day!  Have a great weekend!

Christmas Angel Tapestry!

And.... As I told you last week... I still have a Christmas project to share.  This is a very special project which was also published in a local magazine called "Papeles y Más" (Papers and More...).  This is a canvas made a "tapestry" to hang on a door or special place.

I first designated the area, sewed the borders, and stamped the main image in a center... creating separately a mask and then used paint, sprays, fabrics, embossing and a lot of stamping all over to create a magical Christmas scenery.


When done, removed the mask and also added sentiments.


I separately stamped the same image and colored, and then positioned in the center to stand out.


This was hung in my scrapbooking room's door during Christmas... now still around... I don't want to storage it.. LOL!


Hope you liked it.  I will share with Friday Friends with Flair at Unity Stamp Co. so if you leave me a comment you are participating for some goodies from Unity's blog.

Have a good weekend.

LCSC43 - UN RETO CON CASITAS

Saludos!   Por aquí les muestro una tarjeta hecha para el Reto #43 de Latina Crafter.  El mismo además de proveer un "sketch" también incluye un "twist" que en este caso es el uso de casitas.

El sketch lo pueden ver AQUI  y así vean cómo no lo usé exactamente igual pero me inspiré en el cuadro y círculo como tal.

No tengo sellos de casitas como tal de la línea de Latina Crafter, pero me pareció interesante crear uno con otros elementos o herramientas.  Usé el "stencil" que tiene la palabra "Hola" y pinté sobre papel de diseño para que al remover el molde quedara plasmado en el diseño del papel.

También usé otro sello para el mensaje, y además los sellos de la bicicleta y las flores, que fueron estampados y cortados para poder darle un poco de dimensión con algunos adhesivos especiales.


Incluí diferente círculos, "baker's twine"... y por supuesto lentejuelas...     El techito de la casita? pues simple "paper piecing"... 

Espero les guste mi proyectito.


Quiero aprovechar para además informarles que Latina Crafter está llevando a cabo un blog hop muy especial con "party favors" con el tema de AMOR.  Pueden visitarlos AQUI y participar.  Yo espero poder hacer algo con el tema antes de la fecha límite para participar...  a ver qué nos trae esta grandiosa semana que acaba de comenzar con el regalo de Dios!

Feliz semana a todas!!!!!

Still Christmas?

I still have two Xmas projects I want to share with you.  Today I'm sharing a card.  I love this image from a recent Unity KOM. I combined it with corrugated paper, baker's twine and a flower. 


Also used design paper and sequins.  The sentiment is from an Itty Bitty stamp. 


This card was published in the "Papeles y Más" magazine. 

Hope you like it. 

I will link this post to Unity's Friday Friends with Flair. Leave a comment for a chance to win.

A Birthday Cake Topper

Hello Friday and friends!

I recently met someone special to a friend. She was having a birthday and we were going to see each other, so we planned to have a little cake as a surprise.  I don't know this person well but she is important to someone we want happy. 
I made this topper for the cake as a special detail. 
I stamped the images (#Unity Stamp Co), in a cardstock and colored. Then cut a sillohuette around themwith double   cardstock. Then inserted pop sticks and glued all together. 



Sentiment (#Latina Crafter) was stamped in a circle in the center. Washi tape was added at bottom to secure the base. 

See how it looked in the cake:


Hope you liked my project.  Will share in Friday #Friends with Flair, so leave a comment for a chance to win. 

Happy Friday!!!

Wine Label Card!

Hello my friends...

It's so cool to welcome the second Friday of 2015!!!
I love Fridays.  They are very special because they represent the transition to the weekend and a review of great things during the week...  I've been loving Fridays for a while and sometimes we do a "Viernazo D'vino"... which is like a "Great Friday of Wine" kind of thing.  No big deal... just sharing a little wine with my DH and talk about the week ending, and the weekend plans.

Anyway... a couple of weeks ago, we were at home on a Saturday and were thinking of tasting this wine I love.  Its name is Cadus and the grape is Bonarda.  It's Argentinian and it's a great wine..  robust but fruity... very balanced.

We called our neighbor friends and they came.  It wasn't a planned activity but we had such a good time.  And they loved the wine too!

So at the following day I made a quick card to say thanks for their company.  I used the wine label in the card.  By the way, this is something I've done before... There are some cards I've made for a local magazine and I haven't shown them to you yet... so this is material for a following up future post.  Stay tuned...LOL!

I used some color bloom from Prima and Shimmer Mist from Tattered Angels, plus great stamps from Unity Stamp Co. to make the card.



I hope you like it.



I will share this at Friday Friends with Flair with Unity Stamp Co.. so leave a message for a chance to win with Unity.

And one more thing... remember you can follow me in Facebook under Scrapper Myra...

Finally, if you love wine and you are in Puerto Rico needing to learn more or receive related services, I recommend this page Descorches Du Vin...  It's a new project in the family.  Like the page and stay connected.

Have a great Weekend!

Feliz Día de Reyes! y otro más para Calentando Motores de LC!

Felicidades a todo(a)s en este día especial!  Para mí el Día de los Reyes es súper especial porque me trae muchos recuerdos de mi niñez y los buenos momentos de disfrutar las fiestas de Reyes en el campo, la ilusión de dejar la yerba para los camellos,  la música típica, y recibir los regalitos, que aunque fueran sencillos, para nosotros eran lo mejor!!!!
Además, yo pienso que al ser los Reyes Magos y este día, más relevante a nuestra cultura, lo debemos celebrar más.  No se debe perder la tradición.  Yo entiendo que las fiestas de Navidad y la magia de Santa Claus son muy importantes también (de hecho, amo a ese viejito gordito), pero siguen siendo los Reyes Magos más especiales.  Muchos de mis amigos recuerdan a Santa Claus con mayor nostalgia que los Reyes porque sus padres les decían que los Reyes eran pobres y los regalitos llegaban en Navidad y no el Día de Reyes.  Yo siempre contesto a esto que primero que todo Los Santos Reyes se relacionan directamente con el Nacimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y luego hago hincapié en que no son pobres, porque son Reyes!!!!

Pero bueno... Latina Crafter tiene este sello de los Tres Reyes Magos que es muy bonito.  Hice una tarjetita para la Revista Papeles y Más y no se las había compartido, así que aprovecho que se está llevando a cabo un evento de Blog Hop para hacer el link y compartirles este proyecto.


Es una gran oportunidad para compartir y obtener inspiración con todas las participantes, y si dejas mensaje en todos los blogs, podrás participar en un sorteo especial.  Es una manera de dar gracias por un buen año y dar la bienvenida a uno nuevo lleno de esperanzas.  Pueden ver detalles en la entrada de Latina Crafter en este link:  LATINA CRAFTER.


Como parte de los elementos y adornos usados en la tarjeta, también usé "stencils" para la base, un botoncito y el mensaje o sentimiento... todo de Latina Crafter.
También usé lentejuelas, tela de saco (burlap), tarjetas y papel de diseño, y cordones (baker's twine).


Gracias por su visita y me va a encantar leer los mensajes que me dejen.  Felicidades!!!!

Calentando Motores con Latina Crafter!

Hola a todas... Cómo les va el 2015?
Pues yo ya he ido a varias actividades, he hecho alguito de Scrapbooking y hasta he emprendido nuevas cosas...

Les comento que Latina Crafter tiene un blog hop en estos momentos y hay grandes proyectos de inspiración que compartir, además de grandes premios. Pueden ver información AQUI.

Yo les comparto hoy unas cajitas que hice para dar unos detallitos a algunas personas especiales.

Están hechas por supuesto a mano... pero sin ningún troquel ni nada... si no simplemente cortan a ojo y luego de haber ensamblado la primera pues ya hice las otras iguales.   Lo que hago es que selecciono el tamaño que quiero para la caja y el alto.  Con eso determino la medida.  Por ejemplo, para una caja cuadrada de 3" con 1" de alto, corto un cuadrado de 5" para la base.  Esto me da oportunidad de doblar los bordes a 1" alrededor y me queda la base de 3" deseada... Y así con la tapa y con todo.

Luego, con papel de diseño cubrí los lados de la tapa y de la base, así como la parte superior.



Yo rellené mis cajitas con chocolates.  A todas les incluí un mensaje estampado adentro y afuera, con sellos de Latina Crafter, y un detallito de adorno a cada una de acuerdo a las personalidades o simplemente para variar y que no haya ninguna como la otra.



Espero les haya gustado mi proyecto... y recuerden visitar el blog hop de LC y participar!!!!

Felicidades.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!!

I'm so looking forward for 2015 great opportunities and new things!

Last year was a good one... but I have to admit I've had better...  Nothing too serious or unmanageable but definitely some things I would had changed!  A year of changes, crisis, adjustments, but also love, family, great friends and scrapbooking.

I am very positive to see improving the economy in our beautiful island...  I want to continue working hard and doing all I love...  I'm looking forward to my DH's new plans within the wine industry... and I want to continue scrapbooking as much as I can... LOL!

And I wish you all the best in your plans too!  Hope this year is as special as you are!



Let's celebrate the new year.  I'm sharing with you a layout I made for the Papeles y Más magazine, using Stamp A Hoot stamps.


I also cut vellum, silver and gold stars... combined with sequins, washi tapes, fibers and more...



The letters are Thickers from American Crafts.  These photos are from prior year's Christmas Eve, welcoming 2014!


And here's the whole page.  Hope you like it!



Happy New Year!
