Some Exciting News and A BESTIE book card

♥ Good morning every one ♥

♥♥♥♥♥♥

I'm so excited today as I´ve got an exciting news (a lot of) to share with you. A few days back I was asked to join at My Besties Design Team.

Thinking into account that the last (and first) time someone offered me to join in a design team; then I saying NO THANKS and later regretting it LATE, (among other things because I was terrified) and since then every day I have repented of having made the wrong decision, ……. this time JUST receive the offer my answer was immediately YES THANKS for the offer (even without knowing the terms); I´m sure that I don´t return to never make the same mistake again.

Many thanks Sherri for asking and bring me this magnific opportunity. I´m very honoured to be part of an amazing team like this.

Well… I´m thrilled to be on board with my new teamies ... very fabulous ladies with her magnificent works.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

So today Welcome to look into my blog to see what I made with a Sherri Baldie´s Little Dimple IMG935 image.

She has new designs like new winter Besties and some NEW DIMPLES images that are a little bit different from BESTIES, but equally adorables!

Also Sherry has announced few days ago one BIG SECRET:
You can now buy the My Besties figurine, with a portion of the money raised from the sale
going to Breast Cancer research and awareness

FASHIONISTA DT CARD "CHRISTMAS"

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you are all having a great start of the week. I hope the sun is shining where ever you are; here is raining today  :(

 I'm here today as part of Team A over at Fashionista challenges. It`s monday and time for another challenge ...this time we would like to see CHRISTMAS THEMED CREATIONS.

 ♥ Our very generous sponsor for this challenge is Crimson Cloud. Cardmarking, Scrapbooking and Craft Supplies store.

If you are addicted to card making, then you have come to the right place! We supply inks, shimmers, powders,paints along with stamps and die cutting accessories from all your favourite brands. ♥

♥ Today I have a "frame card" to share. It´s the first one I´ve never done and it has been so fun to make it!; To make the frame card I followed a lot of tutorials searching with Mr Google.  ;) ♥

The close up of the images. I had used 3 Magnolia rubber stamps (winter nigth background, Tilda with fir and Tilda with snow heart). The images are colored with Copic Sketch markers and printed in heavy White Canson Bristol cardstock (365 gm).

The flowers are from Iam Roses; brad from WOC, pearls from Artemio. The die is from Memory Box Border Frostyville die. I´ve added a lot of Artemio pearls and other ones with liquid pearls. The trees are from Marianne and the other one from Mft embossed with a sizzix folder.

I have put glossy accents along the way and other parts of the image to give the feeling that is iced.

The icestar die is from Marianne

The edges are sewn with the sewing machine, but with thread pretty discreet to not steal attention to the rest of the scene. I have inked all the edges with walnut stain.

This card maybe will be a gift for my hubbies mum; it will stand where ever you put it and she loves share with proud all the christmas cards she reived every year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY-BACK to school

Good morning all. Big welcome to my new follower and thanks to my olders for been here. Hope you have had a lovely week. Today I have a card to share using a NEW DIMPLE image from Sherry Baldy. 

I made a birthday card for my son that this Wednesday 21 going to be 5 years. It´s unfortunate but it is the first card I do for him. 

It's official: I don`t know how make a male card, I made only extremely girlie cards, so it took me longer than usual to end this; It had been very hard no put any flower!.

Well; here is my card:

The close up of the image, Sherry Baldy´s dimple digi image which is colored with Copic Sketch markers and printed in heavy White Canson Bristol cardstock (365 gm).

Open card:

Inside the card I putted one big tag. The tag is now empty, but his birthday´s day is going to publish one commercial announcemet in the newspaper (his mother works in a newspaper?) with a picture of himself to congratulate the birthday from his sister and parents. This announcement is going to be glued in this mega tag.

In two weeks start school so he can carry it to his friends to search it and remind them that it was his birthday.

The banner with his name and one butterfly (I've had to resist putting flowers but I couldn´t resist with butterfly).

He loves plains, bikes, cards.....(boy things)....I had to do the best with what I had because I have no papers or male ornaments, so I looked for this paper plane, this bike die cut.....

Good luck elephant holding with a little bow and a little wooden chipboard.

Inside the card we have enough space to write a personalized message to congratulate the birthday.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your comments are always appreciated. Follow me if you like my work (up is the link, and is FREE).

Have a lovely end of the week.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAIMBOW

Good afternoon all. Hope you have had a lovely week. After a couple of sunny days, here is raining. Today I have a card to share using Besties of OZ image 842 from Sherry Baldy.

The Besties have an amazing challenge about the wizard of Oz. Sherri Baldy has some wonderful stamps for the Wizard of Oz theme, a famous story about the Wizard of OZ musical. Dorothy meets all kind of unique characters and she experiences a very fantastic story in the land of Oz. I tried to make the land of Oz, with the scarecrow that she meets.
Just I saw the scarecrow I knew I would work with him. It was difficult to work with him without finally doing a halloween card  and stay to make a card in the Wizard of OZ land.

Finally I was satisfied with this fun card that I tried to recreate OZ LAND.

This story begins on the forest of land of Oz: My sweet scarecrow (who goes in search of the brain that does not have) is at a crossroad trying to resolve a dilemma that cannot solve alone: WHERE TO GO. On one side is the way to the dark forest where they encounter the evil witch. On the other side the road takes him to the emerald castle (I HAVE AN EMERALD CASTLE); Everything happens under my doily full of bright rhinestones pretending to be a rainbow (SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW.....). Behind the scarecrow can see the embossed brick road he wants to follow. So, yes, I have in my card a Rainbow, Brick Road, Dark Forest, and Emerald Castle with my scarecrow.

Here is my card, hope you like it:

The close up of the image, Sherry Baldy´s OZ bestie digi image which is colored with Copic Sketch markers and printed in heavy White Canson Bristol cardstock (365 gm).

COPICS I used:  Straw: YR23,2102,04.    Hair:E15,18 E11,13,15,18.    Eyes: Y21,YR23,24,14 E15.

 Skin: E0000,000,00,11, 04.   Outfit: W1,3,5,7, YR23,24, Y21.  Trousers: E40,41,43,44.    Bow: YR00,04,07,14,24.

 The flowers are a mix from Iam roses,WOC and my stash. The jute ribbon is from Mondial Tissues. Spray beaded cream Gypsophalia is from the Ribbon Girls.

The wooden chipboard is from Arteis. The spikes are natural. The post is made whit trim twine and sticks of the steams.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your comments are always appreciated. Follow me if you like my work (up is the link, and is FREE).  In the meantime have a wonderful week.
