Another 2 Birthday cards

Me again,

 A couple of days ago I told you I had two more Birthday cards coming.  Well here they are. :-)

This one is for my beautiful Aunt in Puerto Rico.  I used the Lost and Found "Sunshine" paper.

My stamp is call "Belle" from Rubbernecker.  I paper pieced her dress with the same paper stack.  I'am also using this card for a challenge at

Latinas en America's blog This is my card.

 

And this was the sketch I had to follow:

And

my 2nd card is my beautiful niece.   For her card I used the Six by Six paper call "A Happy Heart"

Her stamp is call "Camila"  from Abby in Dilo en Espanol.  And here it is...

I add some seam binding, bling and a wooden lazer cut from Diane.

 That's it for now but I do have another birthday card in a couple of weeks.

Let me know what you think.  I love hearing from you.

 An update.....  My first card came in first place.  Yay!

 

In-law's Birthday cards

Hello Crafters

So in the month of October  I have about 5 birthday cards to make.  I know!!!  That's not even including Halloween cards I might want to make.  My in-laws Birthdays are 2 or 3 days apart.  I can't remember.  So, every year I make them each one and mail them together.  LOL  Her Birthday is the 1st of Oct.  And so here they are:

This one for my Mother-in -law I used the Ladies Dairy Graphic 45 paper.   Some pretty lace a friend gave me and flowers from Wild Orchid Craft.  The Birthday stamp is from my sweet friend Stephanie.  A little bit of trim and flat back pearls.  And a pretty fancy button from Joanne's.   So what do you think?

This one is for my Father-in-law.  I used Lost and Found "My Minds Eye" paper, that I picked up at A C Moore while visiting them in Cape Cod for his 80th Birthday party.  My sister Yvonne "ScrapBliss"  gave me a small pack of Dominos, she picked up while vacationing this summer.  So guess what?  Yup, I made sure the Dominos said 8-0.   Cool, don't you think!!  I think he's gonna get a kick out of that.

And Remember I mention those Halloween cards..... Here's one I made for my Swap partner Stephanie at MyScrapRoom.ning.com.  We had a Halloween Tag Mini to make.  You're more then welcome to watch my YT to see the mini if you like.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DwuDvd0Mpw&feature=share&list=UUoXt62I2e2z_zLr62ZNSNGg 
But here is the card:

I used the Graphic 45 paper Happy Haunting.  And the pretty stamp is Devilish Lucy.  I purchased her from Jamie at www.zibbet.com/not2shabbyshop

That's about it guys... But I have 3 more birthday cards coming very soon.  :-)
Do you have lots of Birthdays in October also??

Barbie cake and card

Hello my dear friends

Did everyone have a great Labor Day weekend?  I feel like summer is over.  Fall is just around the corner.  I love the colors of fall and the cool air.  But I do love the summer.  Labor day is not just a holiday weekend for me, its also my grand daughter's birthday.  This year she celebrated her 4th birthday.  A few weeks ago when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she quickly gave me a list.  Among the many things she asked me for, she asked me to make her a Barbie cake.  She even had me watch a few You Tube videos showing how to decorate one.  Smart little thing!!!  So guess what I made?  Yes of course!  A Barbie cake.  My very first one.  As she finished her birthday wish list she said "oh yeah Bella, I also want you to make me a card.  That would make me very happy"  OMG!! I would had never though that a card made by me would make her happy.  And yes!!  She also got her card.

Here's a closer  of the card

I used the Disney "Happily Ever After"  Cricut  cartridge for my card and the six by six "A Happy Heart" paper.  I added some bling and a wood laser dollie cut.  And of course nothing is complete without some flowers and lace.  Here is my YT video for this project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OlmxKL1vZI&list=UUoXt62I2e2z_zLr62ZNSNGg&index=1&feature=plcp  if you want to watch :-)

Thank you all for dropping by.  Let me know what you think of my first Barbie cake.  I have a feeling I'll be making more.  :-)

Altered box, book mark and card

Hello Crafters!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I am!!  I didn't have to work this Saturday so it's like a long weekend for me.  I'll take it!  Gives me time to play catch up with my crafts.  But enough of me.  Today I wanted to share with you my project for a swap at MyScrapRoom.  The challenge is to altered a box.   I used the Ladies Diary paper by Graphic 45.  Flowers are from I am Roses and Wild Orchids.  I love the oval frame from Melissa Frances.  I cut a piece of the paper with the lady, inserted it and added some glossy accent.  Lots of bling and yes, that's because I'm also entering this for challenge #36 at Latinas en America.  The challenge is adding pearls and bling.  So I did. I added a  few pears and of course a cameo.  I thought the ornate plate with a phrase from the paper line was a great touch also.  Gave it some legs and Ta-da!

I then made my partner a bookmark.  Everyone needs a book mark.  Right?  Made it with the same paper line.  I used a recollection flower, trim and lace.

But wait!  There is more.  One of my daughters called me this morning and said "Hi mom! I need a baby shower card.  Can you make me one"  I say "yes, of course.  When do you need it by."  "Today!! I'll be there in an hour, is that ok?"  

HELP!!!!!

So I run to my craft room and a little more then an hour this is what I came up with.....  Mom to the rescue, again!!!!!

I used Graphic 45 paper.  Little Darling.  Gosh I love those cute images!

Thank you all so much for stopping by.

I would love to hear from you.

Canvas

Hola!!

I hope you are all having a great weekend.  I have been very busy with work and grand babies.  Which is good because it makes my week go by fast.  So today I wanted to share with you a canvas I made.  It's my first one ever!!  Hubby printed this picture for me and it inspired me.  This is a special picture because our daughter surprised him on his 53rd birthday with tickets to the ball game.  Just the two of them and they had a great time.  The best he's had in a long time.

I colored the canvas with acrylic paint.  First black, then some brick red and two shades of blue.  I also used a lot of Tim Holtz embellishments, grungeboard, including the numbers and two sheets of his paper.  The beer caps and burlap were given to me in a swap.  I also used snow-tex to give it a rough texture.   I know it looks white in the picture but it's more of a sky blue.

I hope you like it.  Now I have to find a place to hang it up.  LOL  I am entering this for challenge #35 with Latinas de America.  The challenge is to use paint.  So I used 4 shades of paint.  :-)  Let me know what you think.

A pocket full of love

Hola!!!

I am so super excited.  So, as many of you know I'm a member at MyScrapRoom.ning.com.  Every week Gina has a challenge.  And let me tell you, this week she has an amazing challenge.  You have to use a jean pocket.  That's right!! We all have old jeans we don't wear right?  With your pocket you must add the following:

• LACE
• CHARM
• SAFETY PIN
• PATTERNED PAPER
• BEAD TRIM
• COLOR PINK AND CANNOT BE THE LACE, BEADS, SAFETY PIN, CHARM OR PATTERNED PAPER

For a split second I thought I was in "Craft Wars".    It's like she gave us the materials and said go!!!

LOL  So here is my project:

For my pattern paper I used two pieces and a stamp of the Graphic 45 "Little Darlings".

Oh yes and the butterfly is also from the collection.

My pink is in the flowers.   I have a mix of flowers from "I am Roses' and from "wild orchid".

Of course I had to use a Cherub Angel for the charm to go with my little baby.

I think I'll either glue this to a gift bag or to a lay out.  What would you do?

Thanks for looking!!

I am also entering this for challenge #34 at Latinas en America

hugs

Reto para Latinas en America

Hola everyone!

Hope all is well out there :-)  I've had a long week.  Working long hours and taking care of my grand babies and hardly no time to scrap.  I know right!!!!!  It's crazy.  That's why I made this card as fast as I could.  LOL  An hour in a half!!!  And that's because my grand daughter are on their way.  Which of course I'm happy about.  They make me so happy.  So here it is!  I made it for Challenge #33 at Latinas en America.   and the challenge was "let's use lace"

I used paper from Glitz call Happy Travels.  Miss Anya Bags from the Greeting farm stamp, that my beautiful sister Yvonne bought me.   And the embellishments are from  Melissa Frances.  I also stitched the card with my sewing machine.  Then of course lace from my stash. 

So I hope you guys like it and continue to have a great summer.  Please tell me what you think.  I love hearing from you.
