In case of emergency

Click here for CANDY!

Okay! The sun is shinning and suddenly everyone gets out of the house...the thing is that...somehow they show  up at yours! HAHAH. 

I don't know about you, but after a hard winter where procrastination reigned, I got piles of things to put away! My Kitchen! OH dear! HAHAH. I need  a spring cleaning S.O.S. Thanks to my copics and a little dreammy brain. I made my wish come true. An emergency spring cleaning button. How about you? How badly you wish one of this?!

Super huge flowery hug

Ps:  By the way I entered this card at Cinema Saturday Creative, the inspiration movie is Julie and Julia. I have not seen this movie, but I know one thing about chefs and food tv shows..WHO CLEAN THE KITCHEN AFTERWARDS heheheh! My smart button sure came to mind as soon as I saw that theme!

The flowers around the switch is in honor of Nana's kitchen and that "lovely" springy wall paper (a great theme - flowers -  from Copic Creations challenge)! I used the great color choices by the guidelines at copic color challenge for my doodle flowers! Love it!

Coffee, Cookies and Copic :: I was Knighted

Yes!!!!!!!!! I was knighted by Sally (she is the sweetest thing!). I am now a Copic certified designer. I am joking about the knight thing hahha...but you that now hold that holly badge know the feeling : ). 

I travel a lot to get to that class and I had good time. My classmates were fun and very participative, lots of good questions were posted at the Q&A. I learned a lot and had a lot of insights and aha's moments! At the end of the day I was tired but with a good feeling that I was taking home a lot of good ideas and knowledge! 
I am in the mood to celebrate! I think I am ready to reveal my candy pic! I was adding goodies in the mean time : ). Come back to the reveal at the end of this week! Cheers!

Magnolia Stamp :: Play time

Hello! Isn't funny when you get out of your comfort zone all of sudden you become more efficient? Well this is my story with my new Magnolia card! People I had a blast making my Tilda in the swing! 

This baby came to my mind as soon as I saw the first tent card, including the swing (I saw so many beautifully done cards on the net as I looked for tuts). I had just the right image to use for this occasion Sixties Tilda. I also choose to go with a sort of monochromatic coloring vibe. Do you know something? I like it. It is amazing when you use tones on tones, you can still make things come to life! I am a sucker for p&b or sepia tones...actually this probably will be one of my next personal challenges. So much to learn, so little time. How about you? Do you get out of your comfort zone by challenging yourself? While you think..I will play...with my markers! Of course. : )

Magnolia stamp :: Baby it is cold outside!

Hello dear friends!
Yeah baby! It is freeeezing outside. We have been under one of the coldest winter in 20 years! HA! I will not get into it. Don't try me...the scientist will pop up and you will see some passion here. : ). My geology (yes geology) classes were worth something! I loved them..so watch out! 

Anyway, this week I had the opportunity to participate at a Challenge over Magnolia Stamps Lovers (MSL). The lovely sketch from Mindy brought me an instant idea...including pimping up a bit a magnolia stamp. Well it is all about new year and thinking outside of the box. 
I turned the sketch upside down and triked things a bit ( witch here..nah: ) like using texture giving the image more dimension. See! That one stamp you got, can have a bazillion ways of make it up. So go ahead a get that stamp that you " need "! You bet now I will be needing a whole magnolia collection!!.
My idea was to see the Magnolia coming from outside into her little house with a cheery sunflower to spook the cold! I had fun  trying to make a cool door (with window glass on it and handle!). How about that wall paper...would you like me to decorate your space?..HAHHA. I will bring the cocoa!

The Groovy. The Gorgeous!

Yeah Baby! The groove is the heart! Oh my, I like that so much..I was this tiny big and I had so much fun dancing that. Hey better that some depressing songs that I have been coming across lately. To be quite honest, the music now a days is, lets say eh. Loops and garage band make anyone and everyone a musician...Not quite in my rumble ears opinion. Well..one thing I know. When you are in the groove and want to shake the skeletton a gooood DJ is a must and that my friends I know. I know Paty Rios forever (before she was Rios!)..this gal rocks and makes people dance thru the nite. I bet she did just that this week while celebrating her bday! So her it goes my dear friend...The Groove. The Gorgeous...Happy birthday!

Oh I follow Saturday sketch Saturday design (I am putting my name in the bag)..I thought it was a pretty cute sketch.
