Thanks Very Much

Hi beautiful people! I wish you all had a very happy Christmas, and everyone got what they want from Santa! We went visited my MIL and friends in San Diego and just got back last night, so good to see them! We took the girls to the beach, they miss the beach in San Diego.... so pretty!

I came back just in time to make this card for the Hero Arts challenge. I absolutely adore this Dancing with Flowers silhouette stamp from Hero Arts, and this Classic Fabric Design background stamp my dear friend gave me is my absolute favorite background stamp now! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks you so much for all your support and wonderful comments in 2010, I really appreciated them from the bottom of my heart! Wish you and yours a very happy New Year and many wonderful things ahead!

Pink Christmas!

Hi beautiful people! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! Sorry that I've been a bad blogger, not posting and blog hoping! For my New Year resolution next year (I know is kind of early to have one) is to spend more quality time with my little daughter since she is not at school yet! So I will be making less card and when I have a spare time I will be making more layouts to remember all the wonderful memories! My girls are growing up way too fast for me, I want to cherish all the little moments I have with them... I guess I'm getting old! LOL!!

Are you ready for Christmas? I'm totally not, still don't know what to get for my girls yet! Today I'm sharing a pink Christmas card, I really love the pink for Christmas... I think I would have a white tree with all pink ornaments if it's up to me! :) I hope you enjoy it! Have a beautiful week!

Tiddly Inks Challenge #29

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fabulous beautiful week so far! Tiddly Inks Challenge this week is to use a Tiddly Inks princess or prince image with the fall colors and a background to make a card or project.... how fun is that!

I used the gorgeous Tiddly Inks Princess Fiona and the Dream Castle for my stair step card, you can find the tutorial here. I was going to give my Copics a break and use my Prismacolor pencils instead, I colored the entire castle with just the pencils and no Gamsol.... just plain old blending technique with the pencils themselves! Oh boy.... took me 40 minutes to finished coloring the castle, so I move on to the Copics for my princess... LOL! However, I'm very happy with how the castle turned out, I will definitely use the Prismacolor pencils more often! :) I hope you enjoy it, and come join us for this fun challenge!

Clean and Simple?

Hi beautiful people, I hope you are having a beautiful week so far! If not, hang in there... tomorrow is Friday and I'm sure things will turn around for you! Today is a good good day for me; I've been feeling blue for a while and today the sun finally coming out for me! I took my little sweetie out this morning and had a little play date with her... just the two of us having lunch outside, feeling totally sweet inside! I should take her out more often; I think that took my blue away! :) Now I'm ready for the world again, it really hurts when you are feeling blue even if you know it's gonna go away sooner or later! :)

Play with my Hero Arts stamps and see if I can make a clean and simple card without my usual layers and embellishments... still can't stay away from pearls and button though! LOL! I think I did it, what do you think? I hope you enjoy it!

You Are The Best!

is what my girls tell me many times everyday! They are 8 and almost 4 and are berry sweet as can be, my girls make my heart super happy when they say that to me!

When I see this image at Mo's Digital Pencil I literally scream with joy! My little one loves strawberry and this image is just like her so berry sweet, expect my little girl has very long hair! Love love love this image, so I decided to made this card with this perfect sentiment!

I colored her with my Copics+ Prisma color pencils because I don't have the right shade of green and red Copic markers! :) I like how it turned out, do you? I hope you enjoy it!
