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!

Graduation Shadow Box

Hello my friends...

I hope you already got the newest edition of the Papeles y Más magazine.  Lots of beautiful projects and ideas for Mother's Day, graduations, Father's Day... and more. 

You will see several projects made by me and if you already saw them, you know one of them is a shadow box you can use to hold a graduation gift. 

You will find the instructions in the magazine, but I figured you could use some more help with photos. 

I used a big box and cut an open space in the cover.  I used a transparency to cover and make it a window. 

In a smaller box I created a scene. Stamped an image from Stamp-a-Hoot and a sentiment from Latina Crafter. 

With some adhesives and cardstock strips I managed to place the box so you can see it through the window. 

I also added some patterned paper to cover the inside of project and make it neater. 

I embellished with circles and sequins. 

This box is ready to graduate. 

See much more in the magazine.  If you liked this, show it leaving a comment. 

Have a great weekend.
