Always

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great day. Today I am having a good, very relax, LOL. I got up this morning with a really bad ear pain, I don't know why, yesterday I was fine and today I have that and also a throat pain, :( poor me. I don't have tonsils so I get throat infections instead, believe me that hurts a lot.
Anyway, pain still there, but I managed to make a card for today's Color Combination Challenge on SCS: Blush Blossom, Close To Cocoa, Ruby Red. I used Sketch #116.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Always, Watercolor Minis (retired), Small Script (retired)

Card stock: Blush Blossom Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red, White.

Ink: Cranberry Crisp, Purely pomegranate, Watercolor pencils.

Embellishments: Offray ribbon, Mini gold rhinestones, gold stickles.

Accessories: Diamond Glaze, Dimensionals, sponge.

I hope you like it.

Have a great day.

Anni-VERVE-sary Sketch Challenge # 12!!!

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.

Verve Visual Sketch # 4 & 5 and MFT Ambassador challenges

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!!!!
