She is Peruvian too, super cool girl and one of my BFF. Lately we have been chatting online and remembering our time times at school and our crazy and silly adventures too, LOL.

Anyway, for the little squares I used Alissa-Spunky Paper from Bo Bunny. The butterflies are a cut out from Bridgeport Pavilion Pearl Paper from SEI, also added some Waterfall Stickles to the wings. The rhinestones are from Kaiser.

A lot of stitches, love it !!!

More Mother's Day cards!!

As I told you in my previous post, yesterday I made some Mother's Day Cards and also used different sketches I found on blog land.

Here is a card I made using Heather Scott's sketch. She has an awesome blog and every Monday she posts a different sketch.
My card has a lot of pink and red, really pretty for a special MOM. In this card I positioned the square part on top of the rectangle part, it should be the other way. I realized I made a mistake after I finished my card. It was too late to fix it, but I like it this way anyway.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, White.
Paper: SU Bella Rose.
Stamps: Mother's Day (Verve).
Ink: Riding Hood Red.
Embellishments: SU Ribbon, Prima flowers, Clear Rhinestones.
Accessories: Sewing machine, Pink thread, Mini glue dots.


For my second card I used the sketch from CPS Systems Blog. My card is 5" x 5" square. The paper in this card is from Rhubarb Tart Collection Pack ( Memory Box Paper). The big rhinestones are from Target $ spot. I got more than 100!! for only a dollar. This rhinestones work great in big cards. The scallop oval was made with my Coluzzle and scallop scissors, then it was sponged with RHR ink.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, White.
Paper: Rhubard Tart (Memory Box Paper)
Stamps: Mother's Day ( Verve)
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Certainly Celery ( sponging).

Also these cards qualified for Mother's Day card or projects on Fun-Frilled Blog.

I hope you like them.
Have a great day!!

I was having a pretty nice and quite day today, listening my favorite music in Spanish, oh I was singing and singing loud and louder, so nice!!!!. DD is doing very well, still coughing but a lot better, she has been bouncing like crazy indication that she doesn't feel sick anymore, right? DH killed the ugly mouse yesterday, oh my I screamed like crazy when I saw it, maybe sounds funny, even I got an asthma attack, not funny at all. Anyway, the critter is dead and I hope I don't have to see more in my house anymore.

Poinsettia

Hello everyone!! I hope you are having a great Sunday. I have been MIA for few days, I haven't been feeling good lately, today I would say that I am feeling a little bit better, but tomorrow I will go to the doctor and check what is going on, the headaches are everyday plus other symptoms. Yesterday I rested and then I decided to make few projects for my Design Teams, in addition of that I played Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge.

I really like the card I made, LOL. I love to make cards with tons of layers and when a make one with few or no layers I feel weird :)
Anyway for my card the base is Real Red CS. I stamped the Poinsettia by Studio G twice, colored them with watercolor pencils, then cut them out and applied some Diamond Glaze. The Leaves by Studio G are a different stamp, which I stamped twice too, water colored and added some Diamond Glaze as well.
The DP is Christmas Ornaments by Best Creations from Mothers and Daughters Creations Store.

I used my scallop scissors on the Certainly Celery CS. I mounted the images on White CS and tons of 3D-Dots from EK Success. I added 3 little purple Rhinestones on the corner and the pretty Offray White Satin Ribbon.

I hope you like it.
