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!

Almost Weekend!

Hi Scrappers! I'm sorry that I haven't updated my blog recently but I got sick this week and I was feeling terribly. Today I'm feeling much better! I'm just soo glad is almost weekend because that means I can get some rest and get to scrap a little bit. I gotta tell you that I really enjoyed my Labor Day off :) it was a nice long weekend! I spent time with my mom creating cards and cooking, actually we spend more time cooking and eating than crafting lol! I forgot to take a picture of the card she made (which was her first card) but hopefully I can take a picture this weekend before she gives it away :) I had a chance to go to an ice rink and see figure skating competitions! I was soo happy because I've never seen one before, I went with my bf and met my coach at the rink. Even though I'm in a really basic level I look forward to complete my first axel, single... double doesn't matter :P

Anyways last weekend I created a simple card for a friend's bday, I actually only did it in like an hour because I had to go. So here's the card:



I know the picture is not the greatest but... this is actually the first card I create without a sketch! I'm proud of myself lol!
Well I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your friends and family!
Happy scrapping!

Babies :)

Hello scrappers! Are you glad is almost weekend? I am! I need some rest, this week has been kinda busy at work so I'm really looking forward to relax a little bit and spent time with my puppy :) since I'm not around the house during the day on work days she gets really lonely, so at night or during the weekends is when I have time to play with her. So let me introduce you to my precious girl Ruby, she's a beagle and she's 5 months old, so she's still a baby, a very stubborn baby :P


My bf takes her to the park every night and she really likes it, she likes to run like crazy with her friends; beagles are very friendly so any dog she meets at the park becomes her friend immediately :)


That is the face she makes after being mischievous; she has a thing for sandals I don't know why, but so far she has destroyed 2 pair of sandals! :s ohh well at least I have a reason to buy new shoes ;)
Since we're talking about babies, I thought I might share with you a card I created this week :) My mom asked me to create a card for her coworker who recently had a baby boy, so I was lucky enough to find this paper from Making Memories (Animal Crackers). I must say that it took me awhile to finally create a pretty bow :P


What do you think? I hope the new mom likes this card as much as I do :)
Enjoy your weekend!

A Wedding Layout

Hi scrappers!! Well that was a long week of not posting anything! Bad blogger, I know but today I have a layout to share with you, it is actually a gift I will send to a friend that recently got married. I wasn't able to go to her wedding because of work, but I hope she will like this present. I really wanted to do something special for her because I won't see her until next year since she will go to Rumania with her husband as a missionary for a year! I'm really excited for her, Rumania sounds like a really fun and interesting place to go :)


In this layout I had the chance to use for the first time my retro flower punch! I really like it. I followed Debbie's Flower Tutorial, if you have a chance to check out her blog you'll be inspired with all the things she makes, she's very talented.


I had this layout framed so she can take it with her, I think it looks much better with a frame :) What do you think?
Well I better get going, I need to go to the Post Office ;)
Happy scrapping!

My dream scrapbook room

Well here I am making another post for this day and this time I want to share with you my dream scrapbook room :) I currently don't own designated space to scrap since my apartments is really small so I do everything on the table I have between my kitchen and living room lol! I store some goodies in a shelf I bought from Home Depot...


And I store the papers and alphas in this box, I haven't even used some of them...



So wondering around some scrapbook room pictures I fell in love with this studio! This is Wendy Smedley's scrapbook room, she’s the Creative Editor of Simple Scrapbooks Magazine! Isn't it gorgeous? She has everything so organized and neat :)


I really like the room because my favorite color is light blue (actually any shade of blue) and the combination with the white desk and shelfs makes the place look cleaner and organized :) I also like the fact that there's enough light entering into this room, I don't like dark rooms because I feel like I'm in a cave lol


So how about you? How does your scrapbook room look like? Do you have a dream scrapbook room?
I hope that in a few months or years from now I can improve my scrapbook space.
Have a great weekend!!
Hugs
Hazel

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!
