Trick or Treat ... smell my feet! :)

Good Monday people! We have a shining and beautiful morning today, I thank God for that ... and to share I have a project I made using some of my new stamps. They are all gorgeous! and I'll be using them now and then with more and new stuff :). Okay, I had to make this post really fast because I'll be heading to Santiago with my kids for a few days and I'm short of time. Here it is:

Yes! I am in Halloween mode ... I used sizzix die to make the box and the cat.


I wanted to show the box both ways, empty and with something inside so you have an idea of what you can put inside. This is great to give to our kids' school friends on Halloween Day filled with candies.


I don't want to leave without giving a big hello to those of you who have discovered my blog recently. Please take a moment to say hi, introduce yourself and share your blogs with me, so that I, in turn, can visit your little corner of the internet.

Pink Elephant Challenge

Hello girls!
I made this project a few months ago, but wanted to show it to the girls at the Pink Elephant Challenge #28 because "Summer" is the theme for this week. So here it is ...

I made this cute box using one of Lauren's templates.

Hope you like it and enjoy the rest of the summer!!

Edited to add: The girls at the Pink Elephant are having a great challenge, the theme is "Back To School" As you remember I made this project for Lauren's Back to School challenge, I so love this template so much that wanted to show it to all Pink Elephant fans :). Hope you like it!!

Good Morning everyone!! I am back from my little and pleasured vacation, those days went so fast!!
Yes! my kids are back to school now, and believe me I miss them around the house playing with their cars, balls, the pool in the backyard --they went to the pool every single day (I'll show you the pictures). Okay, since we are all in "Back to School Mode", Lauren and the rest of the DT have a great challenge for you:

Choose your favorite My Timeless Template to play along with us and make a "Back to School" themed project. Here is mine:



My kids absolutely LOVE this little box and they got really happy when I gave it to them. They started putting more stuff on it.


I know for sure that our Design Team gals have also cooked up some special ideas to get you started, want to check them out?
Okay girls, be sure you play along with us and post your entry to Mr. Linky here. Remember that Lauren is featuring the top 5 entries on her blog sometime next week in her My Time to Shine feature. :-) --Have a great weekend!!

Out for a few days...

Good evening my friends!
Right now I am so far away from kids :(, they are missed so much in my heart, I miss to kiss them, I miss their hugs and little hands around me! --I am in Orlando, Fl visiting my hubby who will be spending two months here (working on some stuff). Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I won't be updating my blog until I get home, hopefully next Wednesday. I will be visiting some scrapbook stores :) --that makes me a little happy!

Embroidered Elephant card...

Good Monday all!!
Today is a fresh morning thanks God :), yesterday in the afternoon was all rain! we have been enjoying beautiful rolling clouds lately --the kind you can find shapes in-- gray thunderstorms and sometimes clear blue skies...all of these in one afternoon, just how I like it (I so love rainy days!), well, enough about whether :)
Today I want to show you a very special card I made ... for my babies, yeah! they are my blessing of every day. When I was pregnant my mom and I made all of their bedding, bibs and burp cloths... oh so sweet waiting :) -here's the card:

I stamped the 'elephant' from the Bitty Baby Blessings set and then embroidery it.

I enjoyed this very much and reminded me how fast time flies since our little ones come to our lives ... it's a nice thing to remind myself of once in awhile :)

Have a happy Monday!

My Time to Inspire Challenge

Happy Challenge Time everyone!
Today I visited Alicia's blog (DT member) and it caught my attention when she talked about keeping life simple, among other stuff. This is the reason why I decided to make my card so simple for this challenge.

Our challenge was based in creating something using these colors, don't they look beautiful? Well, this is my "simple" creation:

I took a piece of fabric-ribbon and stamped these butterflies-- then I stamped the sentiment.

The butterfly stamp is from Stampendous and the Happy Birthday's from Hero Arts.
Another photo from a different angle:

Don't forget to upload yours as well on Mr. Linky at Lauren's blog. And be sure to stop by and see all of the other gals creations:
Okay girls, this is it for me now, enjoy your weekend!

Mini album for a baby girl ...

Hi Girls, I have something fun to share with you this afternoon, this mini album:

Yes! I'm getting into projects lately, well what can I do? that's what my students have been asking for "lately" :) --But I can tell you this is really fun, making new stuff and creating is what I really love. This elephant is a die from AccuCut (for those of you who are wondering), and it's just beautiful!


It has only 4 pages, and it's great for putting the first photos of the newborn baby. Inside I put many tags with information about height, weight, pounds, etc.

This is mom elephant, her measurements are 6 7/16"w x 5 3/4"h
Well, this is it for me today :) enjoy the rest of this beautiful and sunny day!!

You are my gift of love ... card

Good Monday!! It's very early in the morning, my kids are still in bed and there is a silence all around the house. I love this silence -- I always enjoy the silence whenever I can--some dogs are barking and some birds are chirping, funny thing! :)
Anyway, I just wanted to show this card,

I die cut the flower and used BoBunny patterned paper to cover the chipboard.

Enjoy your Monday and give thanks for being alive and healthy!
