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!

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #40

I've been making so many "girly" cards lately that I've missed making cards that could be given to a boy. When I found this stamp set and patterned paper I knew exactly what I wanted to do. The elements coordinate perfectly. I really like the bright and fun colors it has. What I really like about this stamp set is that it includes numbers 0-9 which allows you to personalize the card for the person you're giving it to by including their age or the year.

Here is my creation for another great Tuesday sketch from Lord Have Mercy!

• Toy Transportation Stamp Set (Martha Stewart)

Got Sketch Doubles

I've been wanting to get back into my scrapbooking for a while now. But, never the time. You know how it goes :)

Then my friend, Anitra, introduced me to this great online Scrapbooking class. Well, of course, I signed up for it. The class started yesterday and already I have a great couple of scrapbook pages that came out of it.

The class is called GS Doubles (Got Sketches) by Got Crafts? I really enjoyed the first 2 layouts. I had left off with my son Claudio's scrapbook when he was 3 years old (BTW, he's eight years old now). I know, I know...you don't even have to tell me.

The pages turned out SUPER cute! Check them out.

Have a Great Night!!!

MOJO Monday Week 105

Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday!!!

I've been kind of busy these couple of days. First of all, this past weekend I went to the Creating Keepsakes Convention in San Marcos, TX. It was AMAZING! I've never been to a Scrapbook convention before. It was like a being a child in a candy store. My friend Melissa and I were so overwhelmed of how many vendors there were that we didn't know where to look. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Here is my creation for this week's MOJO Monday. It was quite a challenge for me to pick an image or greeting to use. I settled with Stampin' Up's Walk in the Park DSP which went very well with the butterfly. I really liked how it turned out using Dew Drops (my favorite accessory).

Materials Used:

• Whisper White, Basic Grey Cameo Coral cardstock and Walk in the Park DSP (Stampin' Up)
• Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set (Stampin' Up)
• Whisper White Organza Ribbon (Stampin' Up)
• Basic Grey stampin' pad
• Ticket Corner and Word Window Punch (Stampin' Up)
• Beautiful Butterflies bigz die (Stampin' Up)
• Martha Stewart Punch
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Square

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #39

Happy Friday!!!

Here is Mercy's Tuesday sketch challenge for this week. My inspiration for this card came from one of my favorite colors, purple and green. I used Stampin' Up's Cottage Wall DSP and to pop it up a little with some bling I used Square Ice Rhinestone Brads that I won at Stampin' Up's last year's convention. This was actually the first time I ever used them. I also used Martha Stewart's butterfly punch and set a small rhinestone in the middle.

Here is my Creation.

Have a Great Evening!!!
