By Lori Designs~ Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am so happy you are here today for our blog hop… hosted By Lori Designs. Today, she is releasing new images, and I am so happy to have the privilege to introduce one of them. This sweet image is called Ezra and he will be part of the Puddle Jumpers collection. Isn’t he adorable ~I just love him!

I really had a blast designing this card. As usual, I used my prismacolor pencils to color Ezra.  The designer papers are from October Afternoon. See the clouds.... I created those by sponging some chalk ink on top  of a little template I made.

This is how you can make them: just hand-draw the clouds on a piece of cardstock and then cut it around with a sharp pair of scissors. Then, place the template on a piece of white cardstock and start applying the chalk ink in circular motion with a small sponge. Yep, that's all I did to create them!

Here is the official blog hop list.

No Stamp For The Focal Point ~ No Problem!

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a sweet and a happy Thanksgiving celebration. Here is the card I mentioned the other day.  I would like to show you  how I used an image from a patterned paper as the focal point for my card.

I cut out the little Christmas tree from the patterned paper. As you can see, I cut around it very carefully because I wanted to leave a white border around the image for extra dimension. I used clear stickles (glue glitter) to make the little trees pop. They look so beautiful and shinny! I used adhesive  foams dots  to mount the little trees on the cardstock.

I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment right on to the same piece of white cardstock. Then, I tied a red organza ribbon between the trees and the sentiment.

Here are the two cards I made using the same patterned paper.  This technique helps you to achieve different looks. The possibilities are endless!!

On another note: Look what I got this past weekend. Yes, It's  finally here ~ my cricut expression machine! I remember like it was yesterday when I saw this machine at Michael five years ago. My little girl asked me to buy one for her that day ~she was four years old!  I wanted to buy one back then, but for some reason decided not to. Anyway, I am very excited about it!

Okay girls that’s all for me today! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your week.
Gracias por visitarme hoy, Que tengan un feliz dia!
