Hugs and Kisses...

Happy Wednesday everyone!
 It's been a couple of weeks but I mustered up some energy to whip up a card. The weather here in central Texas is super cold. I love this type of weather so I was bombed that we didn't get any snow like the surrounding states. Now that my son is old enough to know what snow is I can't wait to take pics of him and daughter playing in it...maybe next cold front that we have.
I decided to make a card using Sketch N Scrap's card challenge #17. They have some super talented designers on their team. I used Basic Grey True Love collection. I used flowers, pearls, twine, and trim from my stash. I used MS punch for my leaves. I also used Studio G Valentine stamp set, heart punch, and glitter glue to add some sparkle.

Christmas Projects 2013

Hey Guys! Today I would like to share some Christmas projects I've been working on since the beginning of December. I really enjoy this time of year. There's something about the whole Christmas spirit...celebrating Jesus Christ, seeing loved ones you haven't seen in ages, and putting smiles on kids faces.
I am entering my projects in this new challenge site I found whimsicaltwist.com. I decorated a wreath, made some Christmas cards for family and friends, and made an ornament. I got my inspiration from youtube and pinterest. There is so much talent on those sites.
 Here are my projects...

 

 

 

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!!!

Cardabilities #85-"Rejoice"

Hi Everyone...I'm Back!

 Over these last couple of months I've lost my mojo. I have been crafting just not as much. I'm glad to be back in the mood to create and share my work. 

  Cardabilities has sketch #85 up. My Christmas card was inspired by one of their design team members- Adriana Bolzon. This was an amazing sketch and I couldn't wait to play along.



I can't wait to start making the rest of my Christmas cards! I love everything about Christmas-it's theme and spirit.

 

Supplies:

Paper: My Mind's Eye-Santa Claus, Recollections

MS Punch-Leaf

Flower

Ribbon

Button

Sizzix Die-Flourishes

 

Thanks for visiting and I hope you return!!

Hello my fellow bloggers!
 Can you believe how hot the weather has been? I don't know why I am so surprised by it. I also can't believe that July has flown by and it is now August. I have been a busy little bee with my kids appointments, vacation, and my job interviews. I hope your summer has been awesome so far.
 My husband and I took a trip to New Orleans last year to celebrate our Anniversary. I finally finished the mini album in June but I didn't have time to upload it to my blog. I must say there are quite a few pics, so here is the final product and I hope you like...

 

 

The paper is from Echo Park For the Record. Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday #300

Hello Again!
     I love the Mojo sketches, always have, but don't always get to play.  This week they are celebrating their 300th sketch and have lots of prizes to give away and you can join as many times as you want. I truly love the challenge each week to create using a Mojo sketch and this week is no exception.  Here's what I came up with using this week's sketch layout.

Here's my take...

 

You should head on over to Mojo Monday and join in on the fun!

Hi and Happy Friday! 
  I'm here with a quick post to share. I am playing along with Kathryn Scraps Challenge Layout Week Five. I used the sketch she provided. Supplies used were My Minds Eye, EK Success flower border punch, pearls, brads, corrugated cardboard, and homemade flowers. I used a ink resist technique on my banners.

Here is the sketch:

I am also playing along with Scrappy Friends June Blog Challenge. I used Rochelle's photo for my inspiration and Kristi B. ink resist challenge. I really enjoyed using the color combination in this layout. Thanks for stopping by.

Layout Week-Day Three: Let's Go

Hello my crafty friends!
 I didn't realize that I had been missing in action for this long. I haven't made a post since May. I have been busy making a mini album for my husband and I anniversary get away from last year. I really haven't been in the mood to make any cards or layouts, until today.
Kathryn with Kathryn Scraps had a week of showing a different layout a day with tutorials and techniques. It's always refreshing to watch her put together layouts. She is also having challenges on her blog! Each challenge has a different giveaway! Today is the last day to join this Challenge-Day Three. I enjoyed using the technique she used in this layout.

Here is the sketch:

 

Here is my take:

 

I had more pics of my layout but for some reason they wouldn't upload. I made myself a template using Kathryn's tutorial. To make my sun rays I sprayed water and FolkArt Acrylic paint-Moon Yellow. The paperline is Pinkpaislee Portfolio. The pic was taken when my son was about 7 or 8 months old. We were loading the car about to head to the mall. My little man was getting frustrated. He had this look on his face as if he was telling us let's just go...lol! I hope you head on over to participate.

Thanks for stopping by,
