A couple of cards

Hello my friends. I hope you are having a great day!!! Yesterday I couldn't stamp at all. A lot of things going on here. Dear husband is under the weather, please pray for him. Rebecca is doing a lot better, her bruise still green and doesn't hurt much (that's what she says), her chain is almost heal, amazingly fast. Even though she had this bad experience Saturday morning, I would say she hasn't learned the lesson yet, Sunday after church she was spinning around again, in the same spot, oh yess!!! Kids!!
Anyway, today I made 2 cards I would like to share with you:
Krafty Black Rose is today's Color Combination Challenge on SCS: Kraft, Basic Black and Red Rose. I used my Daisy Trio #2 set from smARTworks. This is a 3-step stamp.

Hello!!

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are having a great day.

Here in the NW the weather is great, not too hot, not too cold, just perfect. Rebecca and I went garage saleing yesterday and today after church we stopped in a couple of places, we found nothing great, oh well.

Yesterday, my DD fell down really bad, she was playing with her dolly's blanket over her head, being silly as always and then I heard a big BAM!!! Oh my what happened, I ran like crazy and found her crying and with a big scratch on her chin and a big bruise on her face, poor baby, she looks like she had a big fight with a giant, LOL.


I will come back tomorrow with something new to show you.
Have a blessed night

Nothing special..

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a great day. Yesterday I received my stamps from smARTworks and today I want to show some of the projects I have done with my new stamps.
This is a card I made for yesterday's challenge on SCS: "Torn up paper". I have done this technique before, but never in circles, so I tried it out and I love it.
The stamp set I used for this card is Daisy Trio #2. I love this set so much already, I stamped the images 3 times (twice), cut out the daisy part from the second stamped image and adhere to the main image with dimensionals. For every circle I used my Coluzzle and then I started tearing my paper.

For the inside I stamped the image using Clear Embossing ink and powder.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Daisy Trio #2 smARTworks.
Card stock: White, Only Orange.
Paper: BasicGrey "Grow"
Ink: Marigold Morning, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss (all these 3 for sponging) Clear Embossing ink and Embossing powder, Stazon Black
Embellishments: SU Double stitch ribbon, Gold stickles.
Accessories: Coluzzle, Dimensionals, Mini glue dots, Liquid glue, sponges

I hope you like it.

Anni-VERVE-sary Sketch Challenges #6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11!!!!

Hi everyone, I spent my day trying to catch up with the Verve's Sketch Challenges. I tried to finish all today, but my DD had a little problem. Lately she has been telling me her eyes and throat are itchy, allergy problems I though, but today her allergies went from bad to worst, my poor little daughter drank orange juice and in 2 minutes her eyes were HUGE!!!, she started crying telling me something was inside, but nothing was inside, after a while trying to calm her down, she started feeling better. Her eyes still bigger than normal, but not to bad, I pray that tomorrow she can have her eyes back to normal, also she has a doctor's app. to see what is going on. Please pray for her.

Back to card business, I made 6 cards today, oh my I spent hours in my studio, DD was with me almost the whole time, she was making cards for daddy (as always, her hero :)

Here are my cards:

AVS06: I am so proud of you

AVS07: Congrats!!!
 AVS08: Lovely and proud.
AVS09: ...a Friend is the most PRECIOUS. AVS10: Wishing you Success.
AVS11: to infinity and beyondI hope you like them.
Have a great night

I am alive!!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!!! I hope you are having a great day. I am sorry I've been MIA, last week we had VBS at church, we had around 60 - 70 kids each day, it was a really blessed time. I was teaching Crafts & Arts, I was amazed with every single kid's imagination. That's why I didn't have much time to stamp, in addition of that I was coming back home very tired, preparing the last minute details for my next day class and going to bed.
Last Tuesday my little daughter had a little accident, my DH was making "Pico de Gallo" and when he was chopping the hot peppers my daughter was carefully observing daddy, suddenly a little bit of hot pepper juice got into her eye, poor little one, she screamed so loud, I didn't know what was going on, I tried to calm her down and picked her up, and then I fell down with her, I protected her, but I scratched my elbow and hurt my knee. Happily she is doing fine now, her eye looks good and she is back talking non-stop everyday, LOL. I had a couple of days with really bad knee pain, but I am feeling good!!!
I made 2 cards for MFT Guest Designer Challenge. I am keeping my fingers crossed, I would love to be pick. The theme for this month was : "SUMMER/HOT" So here is my interpretation of the theme.


After a Hot Day: REEEELAX

OHHH SUMMERRR!!!!


I hope you like them.
