Tilda with flowers

Hi everyone! How's life treating you? Today is a beautiful day here, because finally we're feeling the autumn cool weather, now it's the time to wear sweaters, boots and sleeping in a little bit. Yesterday I finally manage to get some free time and make a card, just in time for a couple of challenges. I just realized that I haven't post any layouts in soo long! I have some nice pictures that I'd like to scrap, but I can't find the time to do one layout. I'm actually working on another project that it's pretty much consuming my time, besides work of course, so I hope that next week I can share it with you.
Anyways, today I want to share with you another Tilda card! I just can't get enough of this cute stamps, they're definitely one of my favorites. I'd like to enter this card to the following challenges:
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Thinking of you
- Magnolia Challenge - Sketch
- The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - 4 seasons - spring!
- Paper Cutz Challenge - hand stamped image or digital image

I used some Stamping Up! paper Cindy gave me, they are gorgeous! Thank you Cindy for the goodies you sent me. Here's another close up of the card, I really enjoy coloring Tilda, she looks so sweet holding that flower.

Well I want to share with you the goodies I received in the mail last week, I finally had a chance to get a nice picture and I'm really happy that I bought my first Magnolia Stamp! When I saw a card Mina created with this stamp at the Just Magnolia Challenge blog I fell in love with it, I just love figure skating and Tilda looks so cute skating with Edwin that I had to buy this stamp. I also got some Basic Grey paper, MS punches, two CC Designs stamps and black memento ink.

May you have a wonderful week and thank you for your lovely comments, I hope you liked today's card.
Happy crafting!

Xmas is near :)

Hello scrappers!! How's life doing? I'm in such a good mood today, which is weird because I'm don't really like mondays lol you know, mondays mean saying goodbye to weekends, saying goodbye to free time, saying goodbye to sleeping in and getting back to work. Anyways, I'm happy because I received some packages on the mail yesterday!! Yey!! A couple of days ago I won a bid at ebay of 3 Martha Stewart punches at a very good price! I was in a hurry this morning that I forgot to take pics of the new goodies I received but hopefully tomorrow I will have a card to share with you and share the pictures as well.
Since yesterday I was very happy to receive my MS punches I was inspired and I created a Magnolia card, I used a Tilda image that Linda gave me, thank you again Linda! If you  have a chance visit her blog she creates beautiful cards everyday. I'm actually entering this card to 4 challenges!

- Just Magnolia Challenge - monochrome
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge - all that sparkles
- Papertake Weely Challenge - spots n' stripes
- ABC Challenge -  G is for green
- Cupcake Craft Challenge - sketch (I missed this challenge, I forgot it was due today lol I thought it was tomorrow)

So here's the card:

 I really love this stamp! I think is perfect for xmas, what do you think? Here's a close up of the image, I added a glitter dust to her wings and the gifts.

 

I colored this image with prismacolors. I asked my brother (who is an artist) to let me use one of his blending stumps...

I've seen many times how he colors and uses this tool so I had an idea of how to color this image. I think I'm getting better at coloring, because in the past cards I really didn't put much effort on the coloring . I really recommend this tool, it makes your coloring look much better, so if you get a chance to buy this tool, don't think twice!
Well I need to get back to work, I hope you all have a wonderful day .
Happy scrapping!

Pinky Ballerina

Hi scrappers! Are you ready to take a rest this weekend? I am! I really enjoy weekends because I get to go visit my parents and relax a little while and of course I get to craft a little bit with my mom. I  hope to get many cards done this weekend, because there are a few challenges I want to enter. I've learn that challenges are a fun way to learn more tips on creating cards. I've been wanting to have time to create a layout of Ruby, but I just can't find the time to do it. Hopefully I can do that this weekend.

Anyways, I want to share with you this card. I'm not really into pink, but I thought that this paper was really cute and the ballerina stamp too so I decided to give it a try and enter this card to Carol's Sketch Fun! I've missed the last two challenges, but I'm on time to make it to this one.

I really like how the sketch turn out even though I had difficulties with the flowers, I wasn't sure if using brads would be a good idea but I think it looks ok. I tried to make it looks 3-dimensional, I'm not an expert in photography but I hope you can see it.

Well I hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for visiting my blog and for leaving lovely comments!

Cute as a bug

Hi scrappers!! I'm finally back, probably you're wondering if I was ever gone lol. Well the last couple of days I've been really busy at work and with other things I had going on that I didn't have time to craft or update my blog. I actually been wanting to show you a card I created last week but I didn't have time to take a picture :( to bad that I already gave it away. Actually I tried to be active by leaving comments on a few blogs and of course I checked my Google Reader so I'm really updated.

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to this weekend because my BF is going to receive his new cell phone (HTC Touch Pro) I can't wait to see it! Hopefully in the following weeks I'm going to get mine too, I really need one because the skating season is starting in exactly two weeks and since at work I can't see videos because of the proxy I really want to have this phone and have Internet as well.

Now talking about crafting... My mom and me worked on a card last weekend and I decided to enter it to the Cupcake Craft Challenges! The challenge is called "Cute as a Bug" so we had to create cards that had butterflies, fireflies, lady bugs, any kind of bug. Since I love butterflies, my mom picked a sketch and the paper and I created this card with a cute purple butterfly.


I really like this paper (DCWV posies glitter print), I really need to get more :) I don't have any butterfly punches so I printed and cut two butterflies, just to give it a 3-dimensional look


I hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy scrapping!

Back to school?

Hi guys! Well I finally had time to create something! Today is the bday of one of my best friend so I decided to create a bday card, even though I won't see her until next week because that's when school starts at my hometown university I thought I would give her a card that welcomes her back to school too.


I decided to use Teacher Anya from The Greeting Farm Stamps, because she's going to be a teacher when she graduates from college. I tried to make the image look like a 3D image, just like the tutorial I mentioned the other day. I'm not sure if you can really see it on this picture but I think it turned out good for being my first time :) what do you think?


For this card I used the current Carol's Sketch at her blog challenge. I really like to create cards because I can create them faster than layouts :)


I hope you all have a happy scrapping day!

I'm feeling purple

Hi guys! Today I wan to share with you the card I created yesterday for the Carol's Sketch Fun Challenge. I'm happy with the way it turned out, what do you think? I hope you can see the picture, I need to find a tutorial on taking better pictures :P



Carol's challenge closes on Aug 11th, so if you want to play you still have a chance :) you can rotate and flip the sketch.



Her challenges run every 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time to get inspire and create something.
Happy scrapping!

One more card

Hello! I'm so excited to share with you guys the card I created for the "Crafty Goings" challenge. I did it yesterday and I can't believe it didn't take a lot of time as the first card. So anyways, here it is:



The girl of the stamp is called Annika from The Greeting Fram stamps collection, it sort of reminds me that it would also be the perfect card for someone that is going back to school :) I used cardstock and making memories paper, I cannot remember from where I got those stickers :P but I hope I can get more of those, hopefully this sunday I'll have a chance to go to Michaels and get some goodies, I'm dying to get some border punches! I've seen many people use them on layouts and cards.
I hope you liked this card and good luck if you enter this challenge :)

My first challenge

Well finally I have some time to share with you my first card! I'm excited :) lol I finally decided to enter the challenge that the Bee Crafty blog is having. The requirements for this challenge are:

Create any paper item which includes wings (butterfly, bird, fairy, angel, dragon...)

It must have a bit of 'digital' somewhere (image, papers...) and it doesn't have to be a Bee Crafty image.

So here's the card I created...



I printed an image of The Greeting Farm stamps, I believe her name is Fairy Chloe , isn't she cute? I think it turned out good, I use prismacolors to color the image, Making Memories Paperie Collection, a dark green cardstock and vellum paper for the card and a Inkadinkado "Sleep Like a Baby" stamp.
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping :)
