Merry Christmas....

Hello and welcome to my blog...Yay it's Sunny here in Southern California, finally the sun peeked thru!!How was your weekend? Mines was a bit relaxing, nothing much going on, the usual cleaning and laundry!



I did manage to get a card done, this card was done using the stamp set Vintage Christmas from Whimsy Stamps by Crissy Armstrong. This set is really complete, you can even make your own Christmas tags, in the following days I will show you something else I have been working on with this stamp set, you can really get a lot done with this set!!



I colored my image with Copic Markers, I decided to make an easel card....Really fun to make. My pretty papers are from S.E.I. I think they are from a few Christmas's ago. I left my card with very little embellishments, the papers are too pretty to cover up.



My sentiment comes in this set, I tell you it is worth purchasing it!! I wish everyone a very good start of the week and thank you for visiting!!

I have a card to share with you today using this cutie from Hanglar Stanglar, I got this cutie in Kit #7, This is Be My Honey. I really wanted to use bright sunny colors, so I went with these. I colored my image with Distress Inks, I stitched all around my papers and added some Glitter.



My beautiful flowers I got them from I am Roses, they have a variety of beautiful flowers, and really cheap prices too.

Kaonee Birthday....

Hello and Welcome to my Blog, I have been so busy catching up on things at home especially my laundry I never see the end of it, I have not had a chance to share a card with you. This weekend I had some fun, Friday I went to do a little personal shopping and Saturday my family and me went to the Apple Orchid Trees, the kids got to pick out their own apples and we even had some fresh apple cider, and that was good!!

(This is what I bought this Friday, love adding to my collection)

(Camila with a fresh apple)




So now I want to share a card I put together this week, this is Kaonee Birthday available at Stamp enjoy, I really like this image because I am always going to use it, there's always some one having a Birthday or this could even be used for an anniversary card or just to cheer someone up.



I colored my image with Distress Inks, the gorgeous Flowers are from I am Roses, I found this shop that has great prices on all their flowers and did you see the beautiful Gardenia?? Its from I am Roses too, you really have to have a look at the low prices, high quality flowers (All kinds and colors) and super cheap shipping.



Thank you for your visit and for your sweet comments!!

Define Life....

Hello there boy it's been a busy craft week for me, but what can I say I love it!! It relaxes me and I love all the pretty things you can add on projects, it's funny how I am out at any store and I see how I can put this and that on a card, does that happen to you??



Well I have a card to share with you today using a Stamp from Whimsy Stamps, this is NewsPrint Definitions, I stamped my image and cut all around the edge, then I loaded Tattered Angels on it and you can just see how pretty the mist looks on my image, it matches my paper. I left my card rather simple since my image is quite large I didn't want to go overboard.



Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments!!

I have a cute project I have been working with this weekend, I mass produced these as they always come handy. Lots of pictures so be prepared. I purchased these inexpensive paper bags and I dressed them up.



I colored my images first, then I gathered up some cute Halloween papers and matching embellishments.



The Cute Stamp is Alona Halloween from Stamp Enjoy, she is sooo cute just standing on top of this cute candy. My image was colored with Copic Markers, added some stickles and I love the glittery look!!



My ticket sentiments are from Whimsy Stamps new Halloween Ticket Sentiments, I used different ones on each of my Treat Bags.



I filled up my treat baggies with some of my favorite candies and the cute note pads I made using Junior Pads cut in half, I dresses these up too and they make cute treats, always nice to have these for quick notes or even grocery shopping list!
