I stamped the pig twice on Blush Blossom CS, I cut them out and then using a craft knife I cut between the union of the body and the wing and added the extra wing from the secon image I cut it out. (you can see it better on my second picture)

With Love for you.

Hello my friends. I hope you had a nice and refreshing weekend. Honestly, I spent my weekend sick, today I am feeling a bit better and after being dealing with tons of home schooled reports and e-mails and other stuff, I decided I needed a break and I decided to stamp something simple, and guess what?? I feel good :)

I decided to try the new sketch from Clean & Simple Blog. I combined this challenge with the new Color Combination Challenge from Stamp TV. The sunflower is from A year of flowers Set (Gina K). I stamped the image in White CS, colored them with Prismacolor Pencils, then I added some Diamond Glaze on the brown part of the flower. The sentiment was stamped in Crush Curry Ink. The yellow paper is a Free Digi Design from Emily Giovanni.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Orange, Brown, White.
Paper: Digi Paper from Emily Giovanni.
Stamps: A year of Flowers (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Stazon Black, Crush Curry, Marigold, Orange (Last 2 for sponging)

"Favorite Embellishment"

Hello my friends, I hope you are having a great day. It is Friday and that means another wonderful challenge for you over at "Stamp Something Blog" . This week challenge is to use your favorite "Embellishment" on your card or project. I love embellishments, but my favorite is "Ribbon", I think I use ribbon in every single card. Woww, that is a lot of ribbon, LOL.
I used a sketch I saw many months ago in one of my trips to Blogland :) I think it is cute and different.
My base card is 3" x 4.75". The front panel is 4.25" x 3.25". I used a really yummy pattern paper from Making Memories. The rose and sentiment are from "A year of flowers" Gina K. Designs. The yummy Ribbon is from Offray. I also added 3 red dew drops. The image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils, then I added some Diamond Stickles. I did some faux stitched with my White Gel Pen.

Now head over to Stamp Something Blog Challenge and enjoy the other DT creations. Also, if you play along with us you have the chance to win some yummy prize from our sponsor Quixotic Paperie .



Hope you like my card.
Have a great day!!


ETA: My mojo still gone, I made this card in advance few days ago. I hope I can bring something new soon. Thanks!!

ETAA: Please if you are a prayer person, I will appreciate if you could pray for my little niece Megan, she is 6 , super sweet little girl. Yesterday, she was not feeling well, I talked to my sister and I recommended to take her to the doctor and she did. Megan was diagnosed with Pneumonia, she spent the night at the hospital, sadly, my sister has to come back home with the other 3 kids. Her friends are helping her out, my BIL is not in town, he is working in another state. Please pray for healing for little Megan and also for my sister, she is feeling so overwhelmed . Thanks so much!!!

"Favorite Embellishment"

A Personal note.

Hello my friends! I hope you all are having an awesome day. I have been quiet for few days, sadly my mojo has been gone and I don't like that. In addition of that, I started homeschooling my daughter last week, and everyday I find something new to do and more stuff to fill, more phone calls to do and the list is endless. Amazingly my daughter is having Computer lesson too and she is only 5!! Of course I am not teaching her that, LOL, she is taking online courses, it doesn't crazy, but it is true. She already got a Certificate of Completion : Mouse Basics: Select, Drag and Double Click.
In other things I have been taking naps and the weirdest thing is I am not a nap person, I don't like naps, but lately I've been doing it. Just in case I am taking Multivitamins too and I try to sleep 8 hours everyday.
Anyway, maybe you don't care about of these things, I hope I can get some inspiration tonight or tomorrow and show you something new.

God bless you all.

I love Pink!!

Hello my friends, I hope you are having a great Sunday!! I just want to show a couple of cards I made few days ago, Sadly, I haven't finished my Moxie Fab World Projects, yesterday I spent almost all day cleaning my house, I spent a lot of time in my daughter's room (organizing her school supplies) and my craft room, did I tell it was a HUGE mess?!?!?!, goodness, now it looks much better, DH told me we need to get more shelves so I can organize all my papers , woo hoo, perhaps a birthday present from him to me? LOL.
Anyway, yesterday we have rain ALL day and today around 2:00pm, the rain started again, pouring like crazy!! the good thing is I don't need to water my plants neither my lawn (wink, wink)

Ok, back into my card projects.

I have a card using an Oz-some Sketch from Heather Scott. I love to play her sketches. For this card I used Gina K. Set "A year of flowers". The BG paper was downloaded from the TAC site (for free!!) the pretty ribbon is from PTI and the button is from my stash. I stamped the rose in Stazon Black and colored it with Watercolor Pencils, then I cut it out and adhered to the CS with Dimensionals. The borders were sponged with Dark Pink Craft Ink.

For my second card I used the sketch from last week FTL at Clean & Simple Blog only the sentiment from Gina K. Set "A year of flowers". I cut 1" squares and also sponged them with Dark Pink Craft Ink. The yummy paper is from American Crafts, so yummy! I added a couple of small Prima flowers on the right bottom side, also some Pink Rhinestones. I stamped the sentiment in a white square and added also Pink Rhinestones.


In other news, I have a couple of prayer requests, you may have heard about them. Two girls and her families having hard times. First, Kate, a little 5 year-old girl struggling with cancer, her story really touched me, my DD is also 5. Jennifer McGuire is having a "Cards for Kate Card Drive" a lot of prizes involved. Second, Paige, a 13 year-old girl who due at an accident, portion of her arm has been amputated. Please, click HEREto read more and how you can help. Blog candy included to.
If you are a prayer person, please pray for them and their families.

Well, it looks the rained has stopped, maybe I should go and take a nap before going to church.

Have a great Sunday and enjoy it with your family.
