Congrats Grads

ey you! I am sure you are enjoying the break. Kids out of school and proud parents are celebrating the culmination of years of their babies work..well theirs too! As a friend said…I am also graduating : ) after all this year of tutoring. . Well more to come. A chapter is completed and many many more beautiful chapter are to come in the lives of these kids! Congrats Grads!

 

My project today is all about graduation. I created this card as a gift for a very dear girly…she just finished HS and will be off to college soon. Guess what her favorite color is? HA my fear factor color…PURPLE. LOL. Yes I have not yet passed of my purple fear. I still do not get why. I like this color on others and things…but never pick an item in purple for me hehe. I guess my friends, and I seriously say that 4 out of 5 LOVES purple, will get anything I thing is cute in purple.

I used Gilli Graduate for this project. One little adaptation I extended her little original hair to match my friend’s hair (gorgeous and smart…oy that is dangerous lol).

All the papers are from Paper Temptress. People, you must get by Patricia’s store. Some specialty papers that you will NOT find in your mega craft store. And they give that extra bam you need in your cards/projects. Just check that distress..and the columns of the paper. This paper also picked the inks very nicely allowing me to create a super personalized background. I am not going to even mention that the weight of these Pop tones papers are perfect for creating layers (and match the inks out there folks!!).

For coloring I used my faithful copics and my multiliners. I have been coloring less then I would like to …but OH I love  my markers LOL. I know  you understand me..’cause most people..don’t.

I guess I will need a few more occasions to get my card making kick up to speed!

I am so glad you stopped by..Leave a hello if you feel like it…I say I have been missing my craft buddies : ).

More project to come..sooner then you think .

Love to you all!

ello Helloooo!!!! Boy oh boy! It has been a long winter! Yeap I have been away for far too long from the blogsphere…gosh I miss you all so much! I will share a bit more of the backstage and what have been happening over here in my neck of the woods…lots of people to thank also for their support! Today I have something very special to do…join the CMC Design Team to wish Suzanne J Dean a fantastic birthday!!!

If there is one gal that you can count on for the good the bad and the ugly is Suzanne! I am more then happy to call her my friend (right bestie? LOL). Not unusual for me to end up with my cheeks hurting from laughing so hard when we manage to get together. Even when we are apart we have a ball…distance is not an obstacle for this lady…we manage to keep in touch through out her travels (and crazy adventures!) around the US. A true entrepreneur she is an inspiration for young ladies out there.

On your day Su I wish you a lot of health and that your wishes will all come true! The rest is I know you will conquer! Cheers my friend!

So here is my gift for you Bestie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Suzanne Mobil!! LOL Kidding! Well I wish I could! You would look lovely in this wild thing! HAHHAHAH. For sure all neighborhood will know where you are HAHAH.

For now I am sending this virtual card…wishing you a colorful and splash FULL birthday!!!  You  bring so much joy to your friends…it is just fair on your special day you have a load of fun!

It is good to be back crafting! I am so glad to be back (specially for such sweet occasion!). I missed my markers, papers and glitter!!! I have a lot to catch up!

I feel a little rusty on my coloring..it happens when you lay the pen down for a while…but the passion still here!

Gilli painter in “Mermaid colors” (I am just going with the flow and I will pledge the 5th in case I am called in as witness in sanity case LOL) to celebrate Su’s bday!

Holiday wishes

inter is here! Unbelievable but we did get some snow a couple days after winter arrived. It looked so pretty! It melted away already but the best pics are the ones you did not take..right? ; )

Well lots of celebrations going on…Merry Christmas for dear friends that are celebrating today with their loved ones..and happy new chapter for all of us. The world did not end! BUT Regular old new year is creeping out on all of us..so you better hurry up if you still need to tackle and put some check marks on your 2012 list LOL. No don’t tell me you already have a new one going on? LOLOLOL Everyone does!!!  What is your FUN New Year resolution? Organized Craft space anyone?? LOLOL

I prepared this little project inspired by the magical aura that people seems to get this time of the year. Touch back with innocence past that once again resurface : ). No matter what you celebrate..you play the dreidel, you décor the tree..you feast in abundance for Kwanzaa…it is time to gather and enjoy love in its essence. Wishing that this feel could last every single day..in moments that life challenge us.

For this project I used a Gilli Fairy rubber stamp colored with copic markers and decorated with dies from Silhouette cameo. The little ornaments I made by hand..just any round cut will do it..you just have to embellish your way. : ). Papers from Authentique..one of my favorite lines of paper (you can find  at Oozak). Lots and lots of glittah! Hey it is the season (but if you follow me..glitah is a whole year season for me LOL).

well I will keep this post short but soon a new one to rise LOL. For now enjoy your real gifts…blessings and hugs!

If you did not get your Cameo from Santa or through the eight nights of Chanukah….you still have a chance at color me creative!!! The holiday bash still going on..but it won’t last forever sooooooo check it out!! Good luck and have fun!

Huggies!
