****This is my second post, scroll down to check the first one!!****

Here is my second project for the Link Up for Pink Party!!

www.linkupforpink.com/

Link Up for Pink here!!

It's a small glassine bag decorated with Washi Tape, Seam Binding and a bitty flower!!



Here is the tag that goes inside!! I used the Dando la Pelea set from Latina Crafter!


The sentiment reads: 
Count with our support and prayers!

Hope you like it!

Love,
Diana


Link Up for Pink!

Yes, I am alive!! I have been thinking to write here for a long time!! Sometimes I get scared and then don't do it, but I thought this was a good time to post here!! First, yes, I am alive, just plain busy with my business and blogging there (http://latinacrafter.blogspot.com) so you will ask, why now? and the reason is simple, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and as many of you know my mother and my BFF are both survivors, so this cause is really close to my heart! Today I want to share with you about Link Up for Pink!


This is a Link Party organized by a good friend (Yolie!) and here is the logo and the link to the party!

www.linkupforpink.com/

Link Up for Pink here!!

I did a very clean and simple card, because last weekend I organized the "Día Mundial de Hacer Tarjetas" (WCMD event) and it ran until yesterday! so I was very busy with the organization, prizes and everything in between!! also this past week was the October Release, yikes, a lot in my plate right now, but couldn't pass the opportunity to be part of this amazing event!!

Products used: Echo Park Paper, Latina Crafter stamp: Llenas mi vida de..., Washi Tape, Doilie

Hope you like it!

Love,
Diana

Inspirational Sunday!

Hi, another Sunday is here and this one was full of blessings!

How things worked out while you thought about those special friends in your life that they will be there anytime you need them? Did you call someone? how do you feel about it? if you didn't, how you feel about it too? I will tell you about me! I didn't made a call, I am guilty of that, BUT I was in contact with a very special friend of mine! I felt terrible when I moved last year, that I didn't get the time to visit my best friend since I was in First Grade, he has been there for me since them, yikes lots of years, lots of memories and we still get in touch! I contacted him and tried to see him before but he always had an excuse! it was kind of sad and I knew something wasn't right, but I was busy to tell him that I feel that way, I didn't want to bother him cause he is a doctor and I know he is a busy guy! but something didn't click on me, I prayed and prayed for him and this week out of the blue I found out what happened! He was sick, very sick and he didn't want to tell me about it because first I was moving and second he didn't want to, lol! He is a very proud boy and didn't want me to know that he was sick! This time he told me because I said: hey you didn't want to meet with me before, I am very sad I didn't get to see you! and he told me the truth!

Why I share this with you? maybe you haven't contact someone because you feel that something wasn't right, but maybe it's not what you think! go ahead and move yourself into that, there is always a reason and you need to know it. In my case I knew something wasn't right and I did what I could do in that moment pray! and now I know that he needed those prayers, I pray everyday for him, but that time I prayed more often, and when he told me "I was so close to not coming back" in that moment I knew God answered those prayers! He is a very special person in my life and I am glad he still out there and I know that I will always count with him and he will count with me too, even if we don't see each other again, I know our hearts are connected!! How about you? Remember this is a great time to get in touch with those special friends in your life!!

Today I also added a card I did for a very good friend! Hope you like it! the sentiment from Latina Crafter in English means: Life by faith, a day at a time!

*************************************************************************************

Hola, otro domingo ya está aquí y este fue uno lleno de bendiciones!

¿Cómo funcionaron las cosas mientras pensabas en esos amigos especiales en tu vida que están allí en cualquier momento que los necesites? ¿Has llamado a alguien? ¿Cómo te sientes al respecto? si no lo hiciste, cómo te sientes sobre esto también? Te diré de mí! No hice ninguna llamada, soy culpable, pero he estado en contacto con un amigo muy especial en mi vida! Me sentí muy mal cuando me mudé el año pasado, pues con todo el ajoro no tuve el tiempo para encontrarme con él, somos amigos desde que estaba en primer grado, él ha estado allí para mí desde entonces, uff un montón de años, un montón de recuerdos y pasan los años y nos vamos poniendo viejos y todavía no perdemos el contacto! Antes de mudarme me comuniqué con él y traté de verlo antes, pero él siempre tenía una excusa! era un poco triste y yo sabía que algo no estaba bien, pero yo estaba muy ocupada para confrontarlo, no quería molestarlo porque él es un médico y sé que él es un tipo muy ocupado! pero algo no hacía clic en mí, vivíamos cerca, pero no nos vimos, como algo no me sonaba bien, oré y oré por él y no supe más sobre él, y para serles sinceros temía lo peor y ni me atrevía preguntar por él o llamarlo, pero esta semana de la nada me enteré de lo que pasó! pues siii me atreví a confrontarlo y decirle lo mal que me sentía por que no me pude despedir de él y saben qué? El estaba enfermo, muy enfermo y no quería que lo supiera pues me estaba mudando y segundo no quería decirme, jeje! Es un chico muy orgulloso y no quería que yo supiera que estaba enfermo! Esta vez él me dijo porque le dije: hey no quisiste verme antes, estoy muy triste de no poder verte! y él me dijo la verdad!

¿Por qué comparto esto con ustedes? tal vez no se han puesto en contacto con alguien porque sientes que algo no estaba bien, pero a lo mejor no es lo que piensas! atrévete a preguntar, da el primer paso, siempre hay una razón y es mejor saberlo. En mi caso yo sabía que algo no estaba bien e hice lo que pude hacer en ese momento orar! y ahora sé que necesitaba las oraciones, oro todos los días por él, pero en aquel momento oré con más frecuencia, y cuando él me dijo: "estuve tan cerca de no regresar" en ese momento supe que Dios respondió las oraciones! Él es una persona muy especial en mi vida y estoy muy agradecida de que el esté todavía por ahí y sé que aunque no lo veo frecuentemente, siempre contaré con él y él siempre contará conmigo también, aunque no nos veamos de nuevo, sé que nuestros corazones están conectados! ¿Que tal contigo? Recuerda que este es un buen momento para ponerse en contacto con esos amigos especiales en tu vida!

Hoy hice algo diferente, añadí una tarjetita que hice para una amiga especial!

Love,

{TAC} Chicks Day #5

I am sooooo sorry!! I scheduled this post for last Wednesday and when I found out it was supposed to be this Dec. 14 I changed it but didn't hit the publish and was here as a draft!

For today's post I did a simple clean card featuring a sweet set that I love and didn't have the chance to buy it!!! I have this stamped images from Seminar where we were allowed to stamp images to create!!

I have some news to share for those TAC lovers!! TAC's inventory and images were bought from a fellow angel and in January they are going to open an online/retail store, so be on the look for that!!! Congrats to Pam for acquiring this wonderful company and keep them alive!!

But sadly that means we only have 2 more posts for the {TAC} Design Team. A blog hop (Softpencil & Phyllis Harris) Saturday, December 17th and the last post will be December 28th. The goal of this design team was to keep Angel Company's images out there.

So go and check the rest of the team creations, you will love what you will find!!!

This is the last day for November {TAC} chicks team posts!! but the team is getting ready for December already and we have everything lined up, so be sure to come back in December to check what the team is working with, I am sure you will love it!!

For today's card I used a color combo that I {love} Pink & Brown! The image is from a set called "Spanish" Seasonal cuties or "English" Seasonal cuties since it was available in English and Spanish as well. It was the second "Spanish" set from TAC since I was with the company, they had another one before but I wasn't by that time, so for me this was the second!! The sentiment in this card is again from "Mis frases favoritas" (My favorite phrases) by Latina Crafter
