Good morning my darlings! :) I hope you have a great day today. As I write this post I am also packing our stuff because we are heading to Santiago City today, my kids and me, hubby is in Canada, so far away from us. And we miss him so much. Okay, no tears :) I will be out of the blogsphere since today until next Wednesday. Please MISS ME!! I didn't want to leave without showing this project I made a few months ago: Time to go now. Have a great weekend!!!
*Edited to add:I changed the pictures, now the colors look better. A lot of people have asked me about the stamp I used here, it is from Great Impressions, sorry I did not give you that info earlier :).
Good Evening! Right now I am feeling much better than this morning, thanks God. I just could not let pass the opportunity to participate at Kristina's CI#53. The colors are irresistible, just take a look at them!! They say "Boy" everywhere !! Here is my card: I think i will take more pics tomorrow because the white color doesn't reflect very well here. I saw a card like this somewhere and wanted to try it, sorry I don't recall where I saw it :( Okay, I hope you like my card for this challenge, my 4 years old baby Ethan got crazy when saw the stamp because he loves pirates, he helped me to color it :). Thanks for your comments sweeties !!
Good morning ladies, not feeling in talking mood today. Next Sunday we will be celebrating Mother's Day in Santo Domingo. I made a few cards for some local Scrapbook Stores. These are just some of them: I love this die that my sis-in-law Karina has, she got it at e-bay and it's just the cutest thing, look what I did: and the last one for now ... I hope you like my Mother's cards! Thank you for stopping by today and don't forget to leave your sweet comments :)
Happy Saturday ladies!! Today I bring you a sweet birthday card I made for MTTC 02. The day before yesterday I got this die from Stampin' Up! and wanted to create something right away and decided to use the colors we were assigned to work with for this week, here they are: and these are some pictures of my card: and another view. I always take many pictures of my cards, I choose the ones I like the most. In this particular case there were so many to chose from, that's why I'm showing you more than just two :) I hope you have enjoyed my take for this week's challenge, if you want to make your own card using these colors please visit Lauren's blog and upload it to Mr.Linky. Okay, and here are oodles of links for you to enjoy for many more ideas using this color combo:
One of the girls at My Time to Create Challenge, Jen Tapler, is hosting an online event, an exciting “pay to play” virtual paper crafting event to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. Please read her post here. A large group of generous sponsors and challenge hostesses, have teamed up to create a temporary online community where members can take part in a variety of challenges, contests, classes and workshops, and download several free products (a special digital kit, a printable 3-d template, tutorials, etc) in different paper crafting categories (stamping, card making, paperscrapbooking, digi scrapping, hybrid, etc). All this for a suggested donation of $5. 100% of these funds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association to help with their efforts to provide and enhance care and support for all those affected by this heartbreaking disease. I hope you will join us in raising money for the cause, and having fun at the same time! Its a WIN! WIN!!!!
Good day ladies! I hope you have enjoyed your Wednesday!! I was SO busy today preparing stuff for my next classes.

Thank you so much for your sweet comments and for stop by my blog, have a wonderful day!

I spent the whole day at the doctor with my little one Joshua, his pediatrician got pretty late at her consultant room. The rest is history! Well today I bring you a card I made last night for Kristina's CI #52, by the way the card I made for CI #51 was chosen by her as one of her Top Ten :) I have so many things to share yet so little time to blog today, but I will tell you more later... in the meantime here is my card: another view .... Please let me have your comments and enjoy the rest of the day !!! :)
Happy Saturday everyone!! It's time again for another My Time to Create Challenge !! This week's challenge is to create a birthday gift using any Template, and incorporate the color purple or a butterfly somewhere in the project. I had so many ideas in my head, I wanted to use one of the newest templates that Lauren designed, but yesterday (Friday) was the released day at PaperTrey Ink, and we had to send our projects to her on Thursday, so I didn't have chance to get mine on time. They are so practical and cute at the same time!!! Okay, this is twhat came to my mind for this week's challenge: I hope you like it !! Okay, now let's see what the other talented girls made for this week, here is a peek: for more detailed pictures visit them at :
I don't know if i had mentioned before that i live in Santo Domingo, DR. If not, i am saying it now :). That's the reason why you haven't seen any mother's card in my blog, because we celebrate Mother's Day the last Sunday of the month of May. From today on i will be showing you some mother's cards ... this one is very special because is for my Sweet grandma. I made the butterflly with an accucut machine. I was inspired by Melissa Phillips for this card, she made one and i wanted to try it, mine is a bit different but i loved it anyways... Have a good day !!
Good Monday girls!! Today i want to share with you a sample i made a few days ago for a pajama party for Paulette. I prepared three samples, here is one of them. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments !!!
Today is Saturday!!! do you know what does this mean? Another challenge from Lauren!! :) These are the colors we were supposed to used (i realized a bit later that i could have used other colors, too. But anyways i had fun working on this one): Here is my take: for this card i used my Bitty Baby Blessings stamps, I just love them! I made a similar card a few days ago using a different image. Okay! would you like to see what the other "talented ladies" made? Here is a peek: To go through each project just make a click:
It's very early in the morning. To be exactly it's 1:00 am. There is a calm all around, everything is so quiet, i love this ... right now i am listening to a song by Journey named "when you love a woman" I love this song, too. I made this card for Kristina's Color Challenge this morning, but now is when I had time to upload it, had a very busy day! These are the colors for this week: and my card ... I don't know what happened to the "rose" color. It doesn't look the way it really is in these pictures...hum weird. Okay, time to get some rest now. Still have to work on My Time Challenge card for this week, almost ready, just have to take the pictures. Have a pleasant night!!
Good day ladies :) A quick post- One baby theme post for you today. Well since my kiddos are invited many times to birthdays I decided to "have this ready", so when the occasion shows up I will be ready too :) and won't have to run to make one. For the box I created a template, the one I used for Mother's Cards a few days later. The same will be available soon ... I prepared 10 cards for this set, these are some of them ... don't they look sweet? :) I love those little animals, so do my boys ... Have a wonderful day !!
Good "beautiful" Monday to everybody!! Today I feel full of energy, with a smile on my face :). I've read so many comments from you girls, such sweet and warm comments just make me the happiest blogger woman in the whole world :) thank you so much!! Last night when my kids finally went to bed I went straight to my "precious corner" to finish some task that had to be done earlier. This will be the invitation for my new neighbor who is expecting her newest addition :) she is very happy with this gift from God ... okay no more words, here is my take for today: The text is written inside. I am sure she will love it, this is the theme she chose for the baby shower. Okay, off to clean now :( ... Loves to you all.
