I'm in love!

You knew that already….I am in love with Jesus, with life, with stamping! Haha!

And certainly with this beautiful stamp set…Groovy Love!

I had to try my hand at it with the beautiful Label Card Thinlits. 

Lovely with the Stacked with Love DSP pack. I ordered myself some more.

Since I don't have the banner framelits I got my scissors out and cut my sentiment. 

I think I did pretty good, eh!

On the inside, the framelit  actually brings a I "heart" you cut out.

How perfect! The arrow is from it too, the heart is from the Itty Bitty Accents punch.

Champagne Glimmer Paper got to be my fave embellishing paper for sure.

Thanks to all who kept me and my boy in prayer. yesterday was the first day we both felt ourselves again. I even de-clutter and area and today (Wednesday) we officially started our curriculums.

Such a beautiful day with my kids indeed. 

Now, I better take the last 15 minutes of their naps and stamp a little. Free to Create event is this Sunday. Keep us in your prayers. I will show you what we will make. Yay!

ENJOY….the process, even when is not pleasant. If you look well you will find ways to be thankful.

Paper Pumpkin Challenge: Get Ready!

A new Pumpkin Challenge starts today!
I chose to go back to my leftovers this time and try making a set with what is in my basket.
I only added Cherry Cobbler card bases and the Hexagon Texture Embossing Folder.
Look! I made a thank you gift!

This is my set of cards I know who I will give them to already!

One of my desires this year is getting rid of so much clutter. We crafters keep too many things for too long. This is my year of giving away and using the scraps, the leftovers, every bit…without keeping it perse, but using and/or giving.

Here is my first project with my past kits leftovers.
What will you do with your leftovers?
Get ready for the new year! Go check how the team at Pumpkin Challenge is getting ready!

Enjoy de-cluttering (and giving too!)

(come visit my space- I'm organizing!)

This is me getting some leftovers from my newly organized basket 

with all my MPP leftovers.

On the right I separated all kit's leftovers in cellophane bags and the

embellishments on the left. It made things so easy…so happy!

I will show you how I organized my stamps next week. Yay!

ENJOY is my word this year 2015. As part of enjoying my life better I have committed to memorize Scripture. One verse every two weeks. This is my verse this week. I am fully convinced Jesus wants us to enjoy life to the fullest as we bring His kingdom to earth in joy (IN-JOY)!

"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land ENJOY great pastures."

Psalm 37: 3

ENJOY LIFE,

Seasonally Scaterred Last Days

Good morning my dear friends,

I've been attacked by that bug that is going around. Spent two days in a row with fevers and today my poor throat was on fire at 5am in the morning. Not good at all. To make things "better" my little one woke about the same time with a fever…sigh…

Today I woke better on the inside I would say. My body is still battling, but my spirit is ready to get back to normal. Whatever normal means. I am believing for  quick healing and need to get back to what I love. Not long ago the Lord impressed in my heart to focus on the one. On one person at a time, not on money, not in advancing, not in getting nowhere BUT in loving the one….

That's the reason we live for Him…to love! What about loving through cards too!

Check out my renditions using this sweet stamp set soon to retired!!

Seasonally Scattered 

I used the Itty Bitty Accents to punch the heart from the 

Stacked with Love DSP pack (available January 6th)

and the Banner Punch for the two top banners.

Colors: Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Basic Black

Loving the insides…that "YOU" came from one of the newest thinlits which will be available on January 6th, Hello You Thinlits. It is beautiful because it coordinates with a stamp set "Crazy for You".

Now Seasonally Scattered ends January 5th…get it before is too late!

in English

in Spanish

I made one more sample this week mixing the Snowflakes Paper Pumpkin kit with it.

I used my Paper Pumpkin stamps "to the best friend ever" and "you" from previous kits.

Blackberry Bliss totally jumps out with the Soft Sky Card base.

It is indeed a beautiful stamp set. I made other samples with it for Christmas and Thanksgivings!

You can see them here!

Operation Write Home: Lotus Blossom

Stampin'Up! has a new release coming January 6th. 
It is this beautiful Lotus Blossom stamp set, which will be free with a $50 purchase.
As demonstrators we have the blessing of ordering earlier than customers….so here is my first rendition with this gorgeous flower.

I stayed monochromatic, same colors to join for the first time a new blog I am following Operation Write Home sketch challenge 245.

Rich Razzleberry and Wisteria Wonder joined forces for this sketch. Also Perfect Polka Dots and Polka Dots Texture Impressions Folders. 

I placed a Flower Medallion punched from Glimmer Paper on the back of the lotus.

New punch coming January 6th (love it!)

It is so fun to embellish a bit the inside of cards. I used the stem that comes with this set for the horizontal line and sentiment part of this set. Sweet!

Enjoy your blessings!

Mojo Monday 378: More Groove

Hello sweet friends,

During this week I've been able to participate in some challenges. I've always loved the MojoMondays 378 inspiration and rarely get a chance to participate so this week I decided to go for it.  As you have seen this week I have fallen in love with this stamp set, it is so easy to use and cute. Groovy Love!

If you see the sketch it calls for banners but I decided to use and follow rectangles all around my design since I started with such a different size. 3.5" x 5.5" as the challenge calls for.

The Woodgrain Texture Impressions resembles the zebra design on the heart

so it was a match made in heaven.

Enjoy a beautiful day!

Stay in touch….the Occasions catalog and Sale-A-bration starts January 6th!
Mark your calendars for January 17 Breakfast & Show n Tell Event!
