Here comes baby!!

ETA:  I am entering this card for the new challenge at the Caardvarks. I always recieve their blog updates and never had the chance to enter anything before. So, I am glad I have this card to play along!

Yeah, I love spring! The weather is so perfect, the trees are blooming, and the birds are returning to their nest. It is spring my friends, and I love this time of the year!
I have a card to share today. I made this one for the Die Cuts R Us challenge.

 

I must say that I was so tempted to add more embellishments to my card, but I didn’t do it because I needed to stick to the challenge’s rules. As you can see, I made a little boy’s card. A couple of weeks ago I made a girls card, so it was about time to make one for a boy. You never know when you will need one! The image is from Inkadinkado ~ Baby boy set.
 

I used my circle and label three nestabilities dies for the focal point. I cut a strip of paper and stitched it to the circle. I added the tree buttons near the image to draw more attention to the focal point. The organza ribbon is from my stash. The patterned papers are from PTI (tiny polka dot) and the other one is from DCWV (stripes). * The little dots on the elephant are part of the image, they were enhanced by appliying a little bit of liquid applique, those are not pearls!

Okay girls, thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day! 

Spring has returned!

Hello peeps! I have been playing with my favorite stamps, embellishments, and template. So, here is a little project I made this morning. Hope you like it!

Don’t you love this pretty petal pocket template? It is gorgeous! What I love about it is that you can make as many projects as you want using the same template ~how fun is that!

The butterfly image is from PTI. I have been making some crocheted flowers and here is one of them. While I am waiting for my daughter in the car pool line, I have been making these cute flowers. By the end of the school year, I will have tons of them.. LOL! It has been a while since I crocheted something.  I added a brad and some pink gems to the center of the flower to make it pop.

I didn’t have a sentiment, so I decided to make my own. I cut a tiny tag with my cricut machine and then wrote the sentiment. Yes, that’s my handwriting! I made a little flower tag and attached it to the treat bag. The ribbon is from PTI too.

Hope this little project will inspire you to create something really cute. I am working on some other projects; I will post them as soon as I finish them!

Before I leave, I would like to thank you for all your sweet comments. Your kind words really inspire me to create and share with all of you my endless love for paper crafting. Thanks again!!!

Happy Easter everyone!!

Hugs….

Have a blooming good day!!

Hello everyone! Just popping in to show the card I made using one of favorite owl images. Probably you will recognize it. Yes, it is from Hero Arts! Don’t you love it!
I will be entering this card for the new color challenge at the Die Cuts R us blog. I just started to follow this blog, and I  really love  the challenges they have every week.

I stamped the image and colored it with my prisma pencils. To add dimension to the card, I colored the flowers and then I cut them out. After that,  I sprinkled some glitter on the petals to add some sparkle. 

The beautiful patterned papers are from Cosmo Cricket. The button and the ribbon are from my stash. I created a border on the polka dot paper to decorate the spellbinder label.  I noticed that the punch created a nice effect on the polka dot paper. Hope you can see it on the picture below!

Here is a closer look to see the little details on it.

The sentiment is from MFT Stamp Company and it is part of another owl set that I have. I also used my Swiss dots embossing folder to add a little bit of texture.

That’s all I have for you today, thanks everyone for visiting me again! Have a fantastic and a sweet day!

Hugs…

My mother, my friend...the reason I am here today!!!

Hello everyone! Here I am again to share a card I made for my mom. Yes, it is a little bit early to be making mother’s day cards ~ I know! I guess that I was so inspired by this beautiful pink patterned paper and  Melissa's photo color challenge. It is amazing how much inspiration you can get from a picture or a color palette!

This paper doesn’t belong to a particular paper collection. I know that the person who designed this paper is Anna Griffin; I think I got it from Archivers a couple of weeks ago. I used my new UK success punch to create a little bit of movement to the bottom of my card.

I must say that the ribbon is not as brighter as it appears to be on the picture,  it is a little bit softer ~ trust me!  At first, I wanted to make a bow, but soon I changed my mind because this ribbon is too wide. Well, I didn’t want the bow to be the focal point. I thought that adding just a piece of the ribbon to the card would add a nice touch to it.

I made a little tag to stamp the scalloped image and the sentiment. This card uses PTI polka dot stamp to create the background on the tag. I added gems around the scalloped image too. Then the flower, the button, and of course twine to make a little bow around the flower.

Okay girls, I have to go now! Thanks for coming back again to check my blog and for the beautiful comments you have left for me. I really appreciate your kind words…

Enjoy your day!

Hugs….

Alert ~Oh no, comments wrong count!

Edited to add: I am happy to report that the problem with comments count/missing has been fixed. You should be able to see all your comments by now. Blogger was doing some maintenance on commenting backend. I am really glad they solved this problem!!




Good morning everyone! I just popped to let you know about an issue that is going on with blogger. Please check your comments and see if you have the right count. Also, make sure your comments have not been erased  from you blog either.  I was checking my blog, and I noticed that I have a wrong count of my comments. For example, I have 5 comments on one of my posts and it will show zero comments. In my case, the comments are still there but not showing in numbers. Some people are very upset when they found out that they have lost all their comments ~ hope this will not be your case!

I thought this was important to share since comments are very valuable to us. It is unclear why this is happening! I already left a note on blogger help forum. If I get any information, I will be sharing it with all of you. Click on the blogger link above!



Have a sweet day!!
