Tea Party Challenge: Be Inspired!!

Hello my friends, it is time for another Tea Party Challenge. Susan challenged us to use this colorful cup as an Inspiration, so here I go.
My card base is Kiwi Kiss, I stitched together a piece of White CS and SU Bella Rose DP. The smARTwork set I used is Cone Flowers, it was stamped in White CS using Stazon Back Ink, I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Colorless Blender Pencil. This piece was also stitched onto a piece of Lavender CS, then I added some pretty Lavender Ribbon (PTI). Finally I added some Green Rhinestones. Very easy!!!

Here is my card:

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White, Kiwi Kiss, Lavender.
Paper: SU Bella Rose.
Stamps: Cone flowers.
Ink: Stazon Black.
Embellishments: Rhinestones(Kaiser), Lavender Ribbon (PTI), Diamond Glaze.
Accessories: Sewing machine, yellow thread, 3D-foam (EK-Success), Mini glue dots.

Now head over to Susan (for Peggy too), Dina, Trish, Donna, and Donelda 's blogs and enjoy their creations!!

Remember, you can play along with us too, just create a project or card inspired by the cup. You don't need to use smARTworks stamps, but if you have them, ink them up!!

Just a quick REMINDER, just in case you like what you see here on my blog and you want to purchase smARTworks stamps based on my creations, don't forget to mention my name, THANKS!!!

Have a great day.

Tea Party Challenge: Be Inspired!!

With Sympathy

Hello my friends, it has been a while since I stamped, I did set up my last 4 post and I have been missing stamping and posting here. I had a really bad weekend, I was sick with really bad headaches that made me sicker if I was on the computer. I spent my weekend with my family watching TV and laying on the couch trying to feel better.
Also, last Friday one of my uncles in Peru passed away. It was a very sad moment for me. I wish I could have been there. He battled a lung disease and his body after long time fighting gave up.

I created this card to send to my aunt (my mom's sister) and let her know I care and I miss them very much.




Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White, Black.
Stamps: Frames (smARTworks)
Ink: Stazon Black, Real Red.
Embellishments: Clear Rhinestones. Organdy red Ribbon.
Accessories: 3D-foam (EK-Success), stamp-a-ma-jig, sponges, Paper piercing set.


Hope you like it.
Have a great day!!

PS: Come back tomorrow and I will show you my creation for our TeaParty Challenge!! See ya.

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.

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.

Day 8 of the Mothers and Daughters Creations First Annual Mothers and Daughters Traditions Blog Roll

Born Again

Sometimes don't you feel in your heart you should do and share something with others? Last weekend I would say I had a great time, I went to a Ladies retreat for the first time and I feel so blessed I did. I got renewed not only as a woman, wife and mom, but also in my relationship with the Lord. Sometimes we are so busy that we leave our devotionals and time with our Creator as our last thing to do, I am learning and changing things in my life and giving God the priority.
After I came back from the Retreat I got sick, I would say I experienceda really bad pain, never experienced before, that slowed me down for a couple of days, but thanks GOD I am feeling better today.
While I was checking my blog today I was listening my music and I heard "Born Again" and my heart cried. I am a very "cry person", so you know what happened then. I listened that song 4 times in a row. I just want to enjoy every day the love that my Lord is giving me every day the same day I become a Christian. I have been a Christian for almost 20 years, I have had ups and downs, but I knew always the Lord was there for me.
The Lord doesn't care where you are from or what language you speak, He really CARES for you without complains, do you care for HIM? do you show others just with your actions that God lives in you? Hard right?
I don't know why I am saying all this, I just felt that in my heart and I wanted it to share with you. I hope you can read it and enjoy the video.
God bless you


PS: Stop the music at the bottom so you can enjoy the video.
