Bildmalarna friendly DT competition! Come and vote and have fun!

Hello everybody! I hope you are having a lovely day full of chocolate!YAY!
This week I had a ton of fun preparing card for a special occasion....A friendly DT competition! You see we from the DT don't receive any prizes from challenges associated from stamping scrapping....so Cindy prepared a little challenge so we could win something GOOD!! HAHHA. This is so sweet. I am loving the idea to see my colleagues creativity flourish (even mooooore!). The thing is that these girls are tough, and there is one reason: They are pretty amazing with their skills and stuff!

For my card I used a Bildmalarna stamp. If you don''t know this little gal you are missing out! Bildmalarna is from Sweden and she is a sweet little thing! 

My idea for this card was to make a dream come true!  Well, all my inspiration came to my mind as soon as I saw this Bildmalarna! My little girl looks so happy on her pony! I thought I want to give her a perfect scenario! Who doesn't dream of a pink pony and gorgeous rainbows or giant pink lollipops? I will say TGFC (copics! AHAHH). I used Bildmalarna stamp and the scenario was hand draw, for the rainbow and clouds some airbrushing with  home made stencils : ). The grass I free and airbrushed.
To make one of my ideas come to life the shape of a tent card was just right! Plenty of space to make my idea come to reality!! What was the idea? Insert little LCD lights and make this little card into a cool night light! 

Now....go check out my friends creations! While you are there vote for the one you like the most. I would love if you participate!! You can vote in 3 categories! Thanks for helping me and have fun!
Before I go....a little peak of the back of my little card!

Much luv
Anary

Magnolia Stamp :: Pink & Chocolate :: Chance to Win a Magnolia INK at MSL Challenge!

Hello! This week's challenge at Magnolia Stamp lovers is YUMMY! Not only the theme of this challenge is Pink & Chocolate, but the winner will receive the FAIRY TALE edition from MAGNOLIA INK! Yeah, you got it right! One of you will receive one of the hottest magazines in the world of stamping today! Thanks Cindy! I am soooo excited for you all!!!

When I came across the theme for this new challenge..one thing came to my mind...coffee, chocolate and a romantic set! So I said: "Why not Paris?!" (of course the dog was looking at me like...what the hell?!!). The next step was to look thru my clear stamps and find images to create the background. I was hoping to set the cafe mood for my Maggie. I also had an opportunity to create some hand made embellishments to give a little extra charm...I really had the best time making this little cup of espresso and a chocolate bar. Well, I guess now I better crank up the espresso machine! See y'all at MSL challenge!

Magnolia stamp:: Carnaval!!!!!!!

Hellooooo dear friends! Open the streets because the magnolia fans came to party! It is Carnaval at Magnolia stamp lovers! I am honored to be hosting Challenge #4, and to celebrate I choose Carnaval as a theme! So bring the bling, the pearls and the beads because it is time to have fun fun fun!
Carnaval just started down in Rio and Mardi Gras in New Orleans will be sweet (for the lovely people of Louisiana and Saints fans!)...ah and who can forget the happy and colorful streets of Venice! 
I had a load of fun making this card. I had all the little elements stuck in my head for a long time! It took  me a little while to put together ( this one will be a record in my book) but i had planned to make some things from scratch and that takes a little planning and time to execute :). The idea here was to bring the vibe of Colombina, the eternal pair of the Pierrot, the ultimate romantic couple of many many carnavals...I hope you like my Colombina and its embellishments...

Magnolia stamp :: Age of Aquarious

Hi there! One more Maggie card coming here from my igloo! Nah, just kidding. I did have to dig 2 ft + of snow out of my door..for the sake of my pooch and any eventual emergency in the household ; ). Hey, I was a girl scout. Always prepared!
Now I have been working on this new card for a couple days...things came together little by little. I was fully inspired by my birthday. Memorable in so many ways (you will see what I mean soon). 

The perfect excuse to make a happy came when I saw that Copic Creations challenge had  feather blending as a challenge theme...I though it was a good time to learn a tech and also use some crazy bright colors....and my dear Maggie stamp was a perfect match for my revised hippie style! 
For now, peace out! Keep warm! Come back for more because I am in the groove!

Lights!! Happy Hanukkah!

Lights! Hanukkah the festival of lights honors a miracle. The supply of oil in the Temple was enough only to keep the Menorah lights for one day… but miraculously the lights burn for 8 days. When I think of this miracle…I cannot stop to think how that difficulty faced back then could be translated into today’s reality, where so many people has to “magically” makes things last. Faiths keep us alive!

Now to the card! I am getting crazy about micro beads. I have to say that if you try to use micro beads you going to go nuts. BUT these tiny little balls look PRE-TTY! The texture given by these tiny beads is so cool; you surely will get a nice extra “humph” in your design. It is worth chasing them around : ). I highly recommend using a tray and also lots of fabric softer sheet to help with the static.

In this card I also used for the first time my new Sizzix embossing folder. I like very much the tiny flowers. This new folder is a winner….perfect for Valentine’s Day and spring! Don’t you think? Do you have Sizzix folders? What is your favorite?
