MOJO Monday #110

OMG! I'm such the procrastinator this week. I sat down to do this card tonight, thinking I had all night. But, my girlfriends called me last minute to go to the movies. So, you know how it is. I couldn't say "No." Now here I am scrambling to try to hit the Mojo Monday deadline. I've got my husband breathing down my neck cause he needs the computer, the girls are on the way, and I'm here stressing out!!!! OMG!!! Stamping is soo stressful. :) Just Kidding

Here is my Mojo for this week. For this card, I used Vintage Findings Christmas Kit by Making Memories from my local Archiver's store. I also used Martha Stewart's newest punches, Martha Stewart's Punch Around the Page Double Loops. I used a clear polka dot card stock from Stampin Up Night & Day DSP over the Blush Red Dark card stock from Taylored Expression.


Have a great night and see you tomorrow for next weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

My Little Ballerina

Here is my second card I made for the Taylored Expression Sketch Challenge #86. I made this card thinking of my beautiful ballerina Sophia. She started ballet this past summer and loves it. When I saw this stamp set, My Little Princess from Technique Tuesday, with a friend at the Creating Keepsakes Convention we both fell in love with it and also bought the prince stamp set.

I used Stampin' Up's Basic Grey cardsock along with Bazzill Basics Paper Tickled Pink. Patterned paper is from Karen Foster Design Ballet Collage. I also used vellum cardstock over the ballerina's tutu and over the ballet shoes. You know how I like to use dew drops on my cards to make them look different. This time I went a little bit extra and added a little bling to my dew drops.




Have a Great Night and wish me luck again!

Merry & Bright

Happy Wednesday! Hooray, the week is almost over!

This is Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #86. I participated on this sketch challenge to try to become a member of the sketch crew for Taylored Expressions. How great is that?! We'll see who are the three most creative winners. They will announce them on Saturday, October 17th.

Here is my creation for this great challenge. I used Basic Grey's eskimo kisses collection paper pack along with the matching chipboard stickers, and buttons. I also used Jolee's by You Holiday Lights embellishments.

While putting this card together I thought this little girl was super cute but needed some more to make her brigher. So, I dressed her up with some Sparkly Fluff on her hat and added some rhinestones in the middle of her dress. I also added rhinestones on the holiday lights of the title Merry & Bright.

Here a close-up of my creation.


Hope you're having a Great week and wish me luck.

Baby Layout

Here is another layout I worked on before leaving to Florida of when my daughter Sophia was born and finished when I got back. It's very simple but it looks really cute in person. I've enjoyed taking this online scrapbooking class because it inpires me more to make my scrapbook pages and use my Cricut more. I totally recommend an online scrapbooking class to anyone!

Here's my creation for the Quick Sketch #1

Enjoy!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

I'm alive! I was out of town last week celebrating my younger sister's babyshower in Miami, FL. That's why I haven't posted lately. We all had a great time socializing, laughing, and playing games. It turned out so nice. One of my favorite things we had was a table with clear canisters and a big martini glass filled with candy and chocolate that guests would take home. Since I haven't had a chance to work on any project, I thought I would share with you this wonderful idea and get a little inspiration.
Let me know what you all think!:)




Hope Everyone has a Great Friday night and a Wonderful weekend!
