Merry Memories

2009-12-11T08:41:00.002-04:00

The tree is finally home and the smell is so glorious I almost stayed home, tonight it's decorating time and Miss M is ready to put the star on the top. Hope you all are having the best holiday ever and be sure to create merry memories for yourselves!
I decided to create a pillow box out of Kazan's sketch this week, you know so many gifts...so little time...and some inspiration for your home also, Enjoy!

Celebrate your Traditions!

2009-11-09T10:49:00.002-04:00

For 8 years I had an only child a darling boy that I still adore. Christmas meant boy themed decorations. My tree had Power Rangers, Batman, Superman, every action hero you could ever think a boy wanted. For 13 years it has grown and changed, Star Wars, Fairly Odd Parents, Sponge Bob and so forth. The only thing that remains a constant are the little soldiers...my nutcracker collection that started on his first Christmas. This Sizzix die was CALLING my name. I decided to do another card just because you need to celebrate your traditions, keep close what is in your heart, one day my teenager will be a fully grown man with a family of his own and God knows how many nutcracker I will have collected by then...all for his new little family to keep.

Be yourself!

There's plenty to share, this is St. Mathew's Parrish, built in 1773, National Monument. My son had a school project on the parrish, we learned so much and he was honored by helping during mass reading the second lecture.
Miss M had the pony's with dad. And I had a blast as a witch in Halloween, look real close and you'll see the feathers in my lashes. Here's this week's take on Kazan's sketch. Great message for all of us: Be yourself everyone else is already taken!
Have an awesome week

Tons of Lo's, lots of work and Ck out MME for all your beach projects and more!

Full Speed Ahead

2009-08-31T15:37:00.004-04:00

Our weekend was a bliss, a trip to Flamenco Beach in Culebra, PR, one of the best 10 beaches of the world!!! Guess the pictures can tell why. Miss M enjoyed her cold cocunut water. More photos to post later.
I made a card for a friend of a friend who is retiring, I used Kazan's sketch with the rollercoaster paper from MME. She wanted me to use that cool car, as he collects antique cars I could not resist putting the jst chillin image inside. Happy Retirement!!!

Boo!

2009-08-27T08:12:00.003-04:00

This week we worked on an awesome surfboard cake, it took my whole kitchen by storm. Little Miss M was excited and wanted to play with the frosting, proud mama reports she did a row of perfect swirls.
Then we played with MME, happy the papers are finally here. And Laura made a great sketch this week so I was compelled to use the new MM ghosts for her, enjoy!

All things sparkly

2009-08-18T17:01:00.002-04:00

Oh, how I loved this weeks sketch. I got carried away with the bling..Got to love the new Eskimo by BG. And me and my DD working on a coming soon project...Have a great week, I'm busy playing!!!!

Thinking of you

2009-08-05T18:15:00.005-04:00

How appropriate, the title of my card. I made it for Kazan's sketch. I had the pleasure of meeting her at CHA. What an honor!

I wanted to try my hand @ making a grungeboard rose and I had no stamp so I had to draw the thing and wish me some luck. I ended up adhering the rose with some wood glue to hold it better. So it's your turn to be the judge. And of course thinking of Kazan I used a Spellbinder die instead of a ribbon and used my May Art to make some leaves!

Best friends

2009-07-24T17:26:00.003-04:00

Voy a estar fuera la proxima semana mientras estoy en el CHA, las veo a mi regreso en la tienda el prox. sabado 1 de agosto, Besos

Hello

2009-07-07T12:06:00.002-04:00

Loved the new sketch this week by Kazan, I also made the bonus sketch and a new LO, celebrating the splendor of the Flamboyan tree in the summer!

Be Happy

2009-06-23T18:54:00.004-04:00

Loved this weeks sketch by Kazan. I really got involved hand stitching the felt, embroidering french knots, glittering...
Some new LO's and the kids with Lidy having a grand picnic @ the store, thanks for such great food, loved my wrap.
As we were talking today this is the best hobby, we get to paint, sew, embroider and play with our photos. Viva el scrapbooking!
Since my camera is not being very cooperative ( "jumped" from the hands of a 4 yr old) I cannot take better pictures but please click on the card so you can see all the textures.

Live, learn, laugh

I made the pink card for a friend that wants to give it to an old friend. Inside it holds an invitation from her from 1961, how cool is that! I also used the sketch to decorate a bottle for my husband on father's day with his favorite brew.

My Wish

2009-06-03T08:34:00.003-04:00

Verano

2009-05-27T18:15:00.004-04:00

"Verano"/ Summer, this week I decided to turn Kazan's sketch into a banner to welcome summer into my house. Loved the sketch to do it that way, and loved Lime Rickey from BG to bring that happy feeling home.
2 summer LO's using Great Escape by MM, can't decide which one I loved the most, but it is so nice how they decided to incorporate the package into recyclable items. Like for instance, the sticker circle in the corner of my blue LO, it comes from their pins package, how cool is that?
Hope you enjoy my creations and get into the summer spirit as well!
