Loved by someone...

Hi girls!! How was your weekend? Did you enjoy the long weekend to celebrate Valentine's day? I sure did!! We had a fabulous weekend, on saturday my bf and I went to a special dinner the church prepared for all the church member in a delicious restaurant, then on sunday we spent time baking cookies! We've been wanting to do that for a looong time but didn't have the chance, after baking cookies we met my parents and brother at a restaurant for lunch and we went to the rink to have fun while figure skating. Even though it is cold outside it feels nice going to the rink and have fun. I was going to share pics of us baking cookies and skating but I forgot to bring my camera to work, so I can only show you the card I created for him.

At the end I decided to create a cute box (I forgot to take a picture) and a lovely card for him. I think I'll never be tired to say this but... I love Magnolia stamps!! They are soo cute, I only own one Magnolia stamp so I'm really careful when I color the stamped images Linda gave me.

I added a cute sentiment inside of the card which says:

I used what was left of my chatterbox pattern paper (so sad, I need to get more lol), Bazzill paper and flowers, rub-on is from Love Quotes by DCWV, border punch by Fiskars and the stamp sentiment is from Michael's. I also used some glitter for the wings, two red heart gems and one heart brad.

Hi girls!! This week is almost over, just two more days and the Winter Olympics will begin! Did I tell you how excited I am? lol Today I have my figure skating class and I'm sure we will be talking about our favorite skaters, what we like about them and who deserves a medal, it is really hard to pick the best skater because there are many talented athletes going to this Olympics!
Anyways, talking about crafting stuff I want to share with you today another valentine's card I made.

For this card I used a Stamping UP! rub-on, Chatterbox pattern paper, bazzill flowers and ribbon. It is a really simple card, but I just love how the paper looks, I just wish I had bought more. I made this card for a friend, you see he likes this girl but he hasn't asked her out yet so maybe this valentine's day he will have the courage to say something with this card! You know... boys, they get really shy and nervous when they like a girl lol

Hi girls!! This is my second post for today and it is actually the first time I've done that! I'm proud of my self Anyways, today I received a big surprise! I'm going to see one of my childhood friends I haven't seen in like 10 years!! That's a long time right? We talked occasionally through letters, mails, messenger and Facebook after she moved to another country when we were in sixth grade, I've known her since we were in kinder garden, so that means that we have a lot to catch up lol
Anyways, I'd like to share with you two more valentines cards. Since reds and whites are the colors we usually see or use on valentine's season, I tried to think outside of the box and I created this card:

I used my bear stamp from Michaels, Fiskars border punch, Stamping UP pattern paper, some ribbon and my new pop-up heart punch from EK Success, at first I didn't like this punch because when I went to Michael's I was looking for the MS lace heart punch but I couldn't find it so I bought this one and after a few "tests" on paper I'm started to like it, I think the heart looks cute, what do you think?

Hi crafters!! I'm in a really good mood today and you know why? Well because I'm finally making time to craft! Yey! Yesterday I had a terrible headache and I was feeling really tired and sored (for skating too much?? Mmm maybe lol), the headache is gone (thankfully!) but I'm still feeling a little bit sored I just hope that I can stand on my feet this evening at my figure skating class lol. I always say that the best medicine to get rid of headaches is a good laughter, sleeping or crafting! And I got all 3 done yesterday! I'm trying really hard not to stay up late and exercise, I have the exercise part cover because I have figure skating classes on Mondays and Wednesdays but... ohh my! Going to bed early? That's a really hard thing to do lol
Anyways, I want to share with you the card I made yesterday, it is a really clean and simple card.

I got this stamp at Michael's while I was on vacation in Dallas, I think the bear looks really cute holding that heart, don't you think? I used my Fiskars border punch, Basic Grey paper, I distressed a little bit the red Bazzill paper and I added some ribbon. The sentiment is another stamp I got at Michael's, I really like how it looks with the 3-D effect (I used Pop it Shapes from Ranger Industries), I know you can't really see it in this picture :( but it's been raining all day so no sunlight for me to take nice pictures.
