Gobble Gobble

Hello there!

As I told you, I have not missed any of the blogs' latest happenings. Tell me, who doesn't love Kristina Werner and her so very inspirational cards?

So time to eat turkey an count your bleassings more carefully then usual. I have tons let me share a couple:

I give thanks for...

1) Loving, kind, funny, creative, amazingly smart, skillful, patient and always handsome husband.

2) Loving and caring family.

3) Been able to experience other cultures and countries.

4) Health.

5) Feeling the promises coming true from up above.

There are so many more...So been that time of the year, where we give thanks for everything, plus the help of the fabulous tutorial from Kristina Werner, I made this card:

I am so curious about how other peoples card turn out. I am telling you, I miss Kristina's challenges and the amazing job she did of picking the bests and making an electronic "quilt" with all of them! (sigh). However her 25 days of cards videos are just "delicious" as a former 3rd grade student use to say and they are a great inspiration.

Well, here it is please let me know what do you think. I will be back with more. Got to go because I am getting a great idea for another card

Hugs to you all!

P.S. By the way I used my mind's eye paper for the turkey's tale.

Absence is Over

Good evening,

How justify my absence here?! There is none, really. I am sure you want to know. I have been busy ( that is our major excuse). I have been in Islamabad for a few months but feels like we have been here for a couple of weeks. Work and the stress of the situation in the country just brings you down and the creative juices seem to dismiss itself saying "it is not a good time".

But things are getting better in the city and the juices are almost back into inspiration mode. I have to admit I have not missed any of my friends blogs... I have been checking them out and seen what products are new, what techniques are the latests scream in the fashion world of card making and I end up with big sighs and saying to myself "if only".

So... I have been creating some stuff this week and you will see them soon. Thanks for those of you who have been leaving a comments while I have been sooooo absent, and reminded me that in this gigantic sea people still care!

See yah in a few minutes with some new cards!
Hugs to all!

No Stamp Birthday Card

Hello, hello!

Yes, this is a Birthday card. Taking intoaccount my shortage of basic materials I decided to start experimenting making cards with out stamps. I like to scribble so whenever I draw something I like then I make a template on vellum paper. So this card I think turn out pretty well. Check it out!

Yes, I still have some designer paper. This one in particular I don't know the name. It came with a chipboard packet I got somewhere. I am sure you have also seen this image in the past. I used it to make a birthday card at the very begining of this blog. The message... well, I am not very happy with it but it works okay. It is my hand writing.

Okay girls, that is it for today I am happy to be able to post as much as I have these last few days. Hope to read you soon!

Hugs!

Boiling-Hot Creativity!

Hey there!

Hope you guys are doing great. Not having internet for a day due to wiring problems was great yesterday. My creativity juices started to boiled and came out with some good sketches. For now I want to show you the result of one.

For some reason my pics are not as good as they used to, I might try to make them bigger.

So what do you think? Were the juices boiling-hot enough?

I have to go... I am watching a documentary with my hubby.

Many hugs!

First Cards in a Foreing Land

Hello everyone!

I am very happy but a little sad too. I am very thankful for everything that has happened to us. We moved to Pakistan and have had a great start here.

I am a little sad because I didn't get to bring all my suplies. I wasn't able to buy all of the cute things or the much needed things I was dying to get before coming here. I could not get soooo many things but with all and all I am very thankful for everything.

Our days here have gone really fast and everything's been fine. We are really enjoying our house, garden and the neighborhood. I have even met a papercrafter today through e-mail, Hi Afsha!!

Since I don't have many of the materials that I normaly use. I have decided to try and go black and white for the first card. Here it is!

I thought the card wasn't as sad as I imagined in my mind. It actually made me feel very good. The truth is that I was not in the mood to create but I thought I would organize my craft spot and give it a try.

Then a challenge!! There was a Baby shower for four baby boys!! Yes, four baby boys and four different moms. I checked for ideas on ETSY and KWerner's blog. Put different ideas together and here is the card I came up with.

What do you think about my first cards in a foreign land? Now I can say I feel very challenged and very happy to have such a great opportunity. To be VERY creative and use materials like I have never used before.

Many hugs and thanks for reading!

What I Will Miss The Most!

I am in my home town with my family, finally enjoying the summer vacation. We already took a road trip, been up and down all over town, made sleep overs and of course lunch and dinner together.

Today while reading travelingmama's American Shopping List I couldn't be more amazed on how simple the list was and how I keep making everything soooo complicated trying to figure out what is it that I will miss the most? should I take bunch of goodies? am I willing to spend money on extra luggage to take all the goodies? Of course I should. All this thinking made me realized that it is my family I will miss the most, this beautiful land and the people.

Now off to do some more research and more errands.

P.S. I have been missing my craft paper things!! (sigh)

It has not hit me yet, or has it, already!?

Hey how are y'all doing? This is what I have been doing and how I have been feeling lately about the whole moving-out-of-the-country thing.

My summer just started and along with it the loooong process of emptying the appartment. My DH left really early this morning. I am already missing him tons!In the mean time I am sitting in a cybercafe because we terminated our internet and cable contract... sooo... after a long day of moving things around our apartment ... I am tired, girls.

I am also very happy. Seems like all those months of preparations have been worth the stress it caused. Things are happening very fast now and everyday doesn't seem to be enough.. but ohhh well... just like what Bobby Marley sed to sing "...everything is going to be alright, everything is going to be alright, everything is going to be alright..."

For now I am looking foward to see my family at the end of this week, enjoy them as much as I can and... this is going to be crazy but I am looking foward to meet our buddies Bernadine and Henrique! yes.. they are comming to town all the way from Islamabad... Yipee!!!

Okay, I am running out of time here, so I am going to be leaving soon. Just wanted to drop a line or two about what I have been doing.

Have any of you moved from your country? I would love to know about your experience. The only thing that I have to say for now is that it feels good, it has not hit me yet that I will be leaving my country, my town, my home, my family, my friends ( sighs) or maybe it has already!

A new Life In Pakistan!

WOW! can't believe such a long time has passed since I last posted anything. Sorry about that!

Well, I am writing to let you know I will be absent for a while. Our tiny little family is moving to Pakistan. Yes, I know it sounds crazy but we do really believe it will be not only a big culture change but also a great and positive experience. We will go to a place we are both going to learned about the culture of, since none of us have lived in that area of the world.

I was soooo busy making last minute cards for friends, packing and finishing the school year that.. I barely had time to put up any pictures of my latest creations.

One of the things I will miss the most,besides all my family, the good company, the yummy stuff, and magnificent weather, is the scrapbooking club at Scrap-it! Could it be that there are card makers or scrapbookers or paper artists in Pakistan? that will be my next reasearch project.

So, please bare with me as our journey to a new home starts in a week (it actually started at least a month ago). I will post some pics of our soooo-empty apartment soon.

Hugs and thanks!

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration # 50

Hello there,

Once again I am going nuts and not updating as much as I would love to. It is just that I am getting ready to finish the school year and also we are moving to a different country ( I am soooo exited about it) ...later on I will let you know where.. but it is happening soon. I think it is a great excuse for not post anything in a loooong time.

Anyway I just couldn't let this color inspiration pass, it is Kristina's 50th Color Inspiration I am so happy for her!!!!Congrats Kristina! and this is my card:

I am telling you, this was the taughest Color Inspirations of all I have done! Cute colors but not easy to use them all in one single card, you know! Please forgive the picture, my hubby is traveling with the camera and I am left with my phone's cam.

I basically use bazzil card stock, DCWV yellow cardstock, some buttons I got from the merceria, flowers I got from a friend, Inkadinkado clear stamp set, chipboard and a lot of time to make this simple card...

Guys, just in case I don't get to win anything (I rarely win anything) I have to say, it is so much fun to just participate check on your ideas and cards and just give and receive comments!! Don't you?

Hugs!

Kwerner Color Inspiration #48

I have to apologize for the late post and the poor light in the picture. I had to take it at night if I wanted to participate in this color challenge. I will try to take another picture and post it later this week when I back home.

Beautiful colors once again! Loving the picture that inspired the color inspiration this week... This wont be a long post just want to really quickly share what I didi for this challenge.

I am traveling so I will post more about the materials and details about how I did it or how I came u with the idea! I looooove this card! I used the Kristina's template... I am really in love with that template.

Thanks for reading

Hugs!

Thank You Teacher!

Hello there!

I made this card thinking my friends can use it to thank their son/daughter 's teacher... for parent teacher conference, for report cards, or for any special occasion just fo a teacher!

I used DCWV, I and SU Defining stamp set. I was actually really suprised on how many colors I used and they look great together. The colors are bright and really loudly screams: "SCHOOOL!!" I really like it!

I hope you find some inspiration on this card! Many thanks for stopping by!!
Hugs

You & Me!

Hello there!!!
Just uploading some pictures of cards. Very simple card. I used inkadinkado acrylic letter stamp set, some great embossing powder and DCWV cardstock!

I made this thinking about love, happiness and my hubby! I know these are not his colors at all but it is how I feel when I see him you know light, soft... (sigh) sorry I got carried away hehehe.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hugs!

Kristina's Color Inspiration # 46

Wow!!! I tried sooo hard, so hard. Tim and I have two cameras and I tried using one of them but the memory stick was not working on my computer!!!! How frustrating but anyway... I just wanted to still posted eventhough I would have not been participating.

I was inspired by Kristina making her own embellishments! So here I made my own flowers just two but I think they turnout very cute. It was difficult not to use white I had to!!!I used colors from the challenge but I got tha cardstock from The Pack from DCVW! I love it!I also used Stampin Up smart cookie set! I wish there was a bigger version of this stamps set!

So what do you think? Do you think I could have make it to the top ten!? hehehe I don't know but I really liked the flowers I might use it in other projects! we'll see!
Hugs!

Remember?!

A few weeks ago I posted a message really happy 'cause I found "Scrap it" the only store with basic scrapbooking and cardmaking materials. They have this Challenge where they let me pick a chipboard letter with wich I have to create a card... after struggling for a whole week I was able to come up with a couple of cards that I love... check them out.

I picked the letter "U" I think the U is very versatile... easy to use when it comes to a writing a sentiment. The only problem was that the letter was almost too big. LOL. it worked all right I think, right? what do yah think?

Materials: well, let me see if I remember.. uhm... yes bazzil cards stock, the paper I don't know where it is from I think it is K&B, I used versamark, white embossing powder, SU smart cookie set, some small pieces of DCWV card stock from The Pack.

Anyway... three different cards with couple of things in common, can you tell wich ones? besides the letter "U"? And wich one is your favorite? Mine is the one with orange designer paper!

Many hugs!!!

Max Is Here

I made friends with a great Pre-Kinder teacher. Karina is a wonderful person I wish I would have met her long time ago. Anyway... she will be bringing Max to this world very soon and we are all wishing her the best while she is getting ready for his arrival.


Karina was looking at other cards I made and she came up with this great layout. I think it is soooo lovely! it took me nothing to put these cards together. What yah think? I love it!!

The paper is from DCWV, star punch and dimensionals... the rest is my printer's work.

(sigh) I can't wait to see little Max soon!

Hugs!!

Teacher-Like Card

Looking at old cards. I found this one. I loved it sooo very much I thought.. hey I have not share this card yet. So here it is...

I remember when I made this card I was not working and was in teacher-like kind of cards... I got a very cheap apple puncher and used it to create this and other cards... I really like the apple design. Also these very basic colors... reminds me of school and the simple colors that can make a teacher's room a very warm and welcomy environment for children.

No fancy materials for this card. I think the only fancy one was the ribbon I got from the local craft store. Of course the SU stamps and ink. The paper I took from my notebook and old boxes cardboard ... Isn't it cute? I love the red apple, I used Versamark and clear embossing powder and finally punched the apple!!! really neat contrast and a great look.

Look at this card and think of ..... a Pencil! ;)

Many hugs!

Long Time Not Updated

Yeap I know it is been a long time and I am very sorry. But here I come with a couple of cards.

But before giving you the cards I want to share something. I finally went to the only scrapbooking store in this big city. Not a very big store,taking into account that there are soooo many companies with soo many great products.. you can go to http://www.scrapit.com.ve/ to check it out. It is not a big website but it will give you an idea of how new the scrapnooking is in this country.

So I tried uing some Color Inspiration and couldn't post it on time to participate in the top 20 but I just thought I could post it now.. I used the same sentiment stamp...

Did you noticed I am not using any designer paper? I know I guess I have used none before but it is not usual. Soooooo what do you think? like it? any suggestions?

Hugs!

Kristina Werner Color inspiration # 40!!

Sorry I have not post anything is such a long time... I just went back to work and now I don't have as much time as I would love to.

I was also patiently waiting for Kristina's Color Inspiration and here it is.

What a great color combination! I actually used these colors to make a group of cards. Please check them out.

Closed, showing the front.

Open and showing the cards inside!

This is my favorite of the cards!

I really like these colors, they are sort of citrus-y. I agree with Kristina!...

This is my second favorite one!

I used My Minds Eyes paper, Chipboard ( I dont remember the company) and no stamp! How crazy is that!? I also used paper punches, markers... I am trying to think really hard about the materials I used but they don't seem to be coming up in my mind.

Please check, enjoy and please leave a comment!

Hugs!

4EVER

This is a card I made before our Christmas break. Ian and Pauline got married at a beach. I never saw her dress but it was funny to learn that her dress was the same color the ribbon I used!!! how crazy is that? I bet that if I tried to plan the card based on her dress color it would have never happened!

This card was a group card so, meaning a card a group of people would share and signed fro Ian ansd Pauline. Ana (a friend) added couple of handmade paper inside so friends from work could sing the card.

Hugs and enjoy it!

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration #39

Wow!!! great colors, ah? I had to scratch my head a couple of time today... I have to admit it was fun, fun, fun trying to make a card with these colors

... I am loving this card and might keep working tonight in another card with the same colors.

I used SU retired set Smorgasborders, FX ribbon. I love this ribbon I don't get to use a lot, the THANKS letters.. where given to me some time ago, I also used SU my favorites set ( I think that is the name of it).

uhmm not much to say tonight except that I am tired! ehehhehe see yah guys!!!

Hugs!!!

Jet lag and a couple of cards!

Hello everyone,

Sorry I have not been around for a while. We travel for three weeks to the amazing country of Thailand (happyland). We had a great time! but we were left with a big jet lag. After being back home for 5 days we are still weaking up at 3 or 4 in the morning. I am very happy Tim is a morning person just like me... we get up (we don't have much of a choice) and start our day super early, having breakfast together, something we don't get to do it often and so on.

Okay sooo... inspite being very sleepy I get to do couple cards during the say when I am still wide awake... so, here are couple of "mommy" cards... I think they look great, what do you think?

Well, and there they are what you think? Hope you like them and enjoy then and find some sort of inspiration.

Hugs!

KWerner Color Inspiration # 35

There it is, my handwriting again! hehehe...

Kristina Color Inpiration # 34

Hola, hola!

I have made this card for a great person and a good friend! She is moving next week to a different country and eventhough I don't see her often, I know I will miss her a bunch and hope we meet again someday. I hope she enjoys it, actually, I made a set of 4 note cards for her as a gift. I will show them to you later in the week.

For now I just want to show you one of the four cards I made for my friend. This cards were inspired by the template Kristina, once shared with all of us, I will try and look the link so you can have it too. So I hope you like it! Here it is.

Cute, ah? I really loooove this paper, I have used design paper from Special Occasions.

I keep telling you and myself this, it is hard to create a card with stamps that I have used once and again, and again, again and again. I am getting more as soon as I can. I am mentioning this because of the sentiment on this card. It was hand written, which is not so great looking, (Sigh)

I am sorry I was babbling hehehe. Please, enjoy it and let me know what you think, leaving a comment.

Many, many hugs!!!

P.S. Sorry it took me a while, but I finally found the template! Hope you enjoy it!

Have a Very Merry Christmas

Hola!

It's been a very long time since I published anything... I feel like I say this every time I update the blog hehehe... I have to apologize.

Anyway, tonight I am bringing you a couple of cards. My idea was to make them so I could place cute pics inside somewhere, what do you think of these?

I have created this window card, thinking about bright colors and very Christmas like with trees and snowflakes. I loved making this one, it was very fun and it is the second time I have ever used buttons. I might change the buttons to something else since it might be too bulky to mail it.

I was trying to create something not so Christmasy but Christmasy, you know what I mean? hehehe. Christmas colors, but not necessarily the season symbols, except for the embossed trees on the right of the card, really hard to see in this pic.

With this one I tried to get the season symbols with soft colors, the only problem with this one is that I didn't finished it. I had the idea but then got distracted and "puff" it was gone... nothing that I tried I liked... I think I am just getting tire of using the same stamps set over and over again. Anyway, what can I do to finish this card? Any ideas or suggestions?

Actually, you know what? I think that would be a great idea for a challenge, don't you think? to finished a card...uhmmmm... I wonder if there are challenges like this. Okay okay I am getting distracted once again.

Like them? Please let me know.

Many hugs.

Sending Love at Christmas!

Good morning everyone!

First of I am very happy I made it to the top ten on the Color Inspiration #32 at Kristina Werner! I didn't really mean to, I though I didn't have a chance since it took me forever to come up with a great idea but... hey I made it!!!!!!

I have always wanted to do this kind of card since I saw Jennifer McGuire making a fab one. Mine is a bit different because I am not dry embossing and I do not have the same stamps, or materials since they are soo hard to find them here! anyway... Here it is. I hope you like it... and as usual, if you have any suggestions or improvements, I am all ears, sorry, eyes!

I almost forgot, I love how the ribbon looks on this card, but If I am going to mail it, I wonder if the envelop would end up tearing or something! any suggestions about that? I know I can replace the ribbon with something else, I just really like it! what do you do when you have to mail a cards with a nice ribbon and bow or nod?

Many, many hugs!

PD: What do you think Kerry?

Baby cards?...Mommy Cards!?

Uhmmm well, I had no idea babies had their own " business" cards!!! They are actually called Mommy Cards.This is sooo new to me... but you know I think it is still very cute and fab!

This is how I understand they work: when you go to a B-day party you prepare your gift and you add one of these cute cards to the gift so the parents and the kid will know who brought it!

Sometimes theses cards would be a family card, where all the family member have their name on as well as their contact info... clever and cute, ah? I wish I had a super printer to get them done with lots of color and amazing graphics... (sigh).

A friend of mine asked me (long time ago, I have to admit) if I'd do a couple for her and so I told her I would make some samples for her... not that I forgot about her I was just busy ( I am telling you, Ashley!!) anyhow! tell me what yah think, would you!? Any suggestions?

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration # 32

Good morning everyone!

I am having a big trouble getting ideas. I thought I had a great inspiration from other card maker in this Color Inspiration but ohhh boy I was soooo wrong! Anyway... I have tried so hard and this is what I came up with. Check them out...

This first card was pretty easy to come up with the idea I actually had it in my mind for a while... it was funny to see people with the same ideas... not really hard to make very simple too... before I thought it was a great idea but now.. I am not so sure... what do you guys think? It definitely needs something, I just don't know what.

Now this is more traditional, more layouty like, you know what I mean? well I got no help from any card I have seen for this one. I just went for the safe traditional-nothing-new kind of card... ( sigh) not very inspired lately I guess... sniff, sniff...

Please leave a message and let me know what you think, and what should I do to get my inspiration back. Many hugs!!!

Note Cards 3

Hello guys!

Another week started another stack of note cards, this time different DCWV paper, color, layout, and I was loving it!

Note Cards 2

Hey you guys! Here are the second stack of note cards. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG difference with the ones from the post before. once again I just took a piece of designer paper, matching colors and glue! along with other tools! what ya think?

You can see. I stopped being so lazy and used other tools, like punches, and thread. I love these two.. hehehe... not because I made them, I am humble but they just look good hehehehe.

I love these too!! What do you think? like them? any improvements? please leave a cutey message!

Many hugs!!!

Note cards!

I need to update, I know. I have been making cards like crazy. I have got an order of 70 Christmas cards for an office!!! I am soooo excited... I keep working like a mad woman... anyway... today while printing the message for those cards I remember I have not share my note cards.

For this cards I am not using rubber stamps because I wanted these cards to be for any occasion... I was having a hard time with the designs you will be able to see it. I started by taking the designer paper ( the pack from DCWV), cut pieces and got matching paper along and at the end had a wonderful mess on the table... it was not easy to clean I am telling you,it even hurt to through tiny little pieces o paper away, but... I know I wont be able to do anything with them...

Okay I will stop talking. These are the first group! Enjoy and please don't forget to leave a comment with your opinion or even suggestions

You can tell I was just going crazy and without directions with these designs... you will notice when you see the next group of note cards I will poste them in a few minutes.

Okay, okay, may hugs!!!

My First Layout! Yiipii!!!

I keep trying to update my blog with my latest work.

Something I have worked for tha past week was... MY FIRST LAYOUT!! I made it for my sister's friend too, Lauremy. I decided it was a great occassion and wehad a great idea too.

The idea of this "album" as I call it, is to place advices in each envelope, I created two pages for for the same purpose, I will explain more on each pic. Okay with further due.... Ta da!!!!!!

Cover:

First Advice: This two pages are dedicated to raltionships advice. the one on the right was used to place the title and the one on the left was used to place the envelop where the advices will be placed. This is repeats through out the rest of the papges of the album.

Second Advice: Intimacy.

Third Advice: Home and house work etc.

Fourth Advice: Kitchen and recipes!

Fifth Advice: Beauty.

Back Cover!

The materials I used... I am afraid it will be a bit difficult to list them all but the main materials were: Pictures from my favorite magazine: Living, DCWV paper, My mind's eye. (you can tell I have no more paper than those two hehehehe), Alpha Punch out, Ink dots, Chipboard, UHU glue, 2way glue, Cheap fabric flowers, SU stamps, American Craft rubons, brads, buttons, post it, stickers among others I can't remember right now.

I have to say, and I am very proud of this, The cardboard base for this album was completely recycled, from other paper goodies I had laying around. The spiral was made at a local store ( God! if only I had one of those machines) The dimensions of this almuns is 5" x 6" and the envelops are 4"x 3". Ufff I am tired... so.. what do you guys think? do you give it your thumps up?!

Many hugs!

Invitation for an unusual occasion!

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone,

I have to apologize for not posting ins such a long time. This has been a very busy week for me. But I am back annnnd I want to show you a couple of things I have been working on.

I made this card invitations for my sister's friend. Lauremy ( my sister's friend) just got married and they want to celebrate giving her a welcome-to-the-married-life kind of party. I was very sad I had no stamps for this occasion so I had to appeal to the computer and the amazing things you can do with it.

I used Windows Office. Got the images from Microsoft Clip Art. Okay, so here it is! what do yah think of this one?

My sister doesn't live in the same city I do, so I tied a cute ribbon and sent it her way like this. So...don't be shy and let me know what you think and if there are any suggestions, I will gladly take it!

Hugs!!!

Birthday Challenge

Yes, it is my birthday today! Spending it at home. Yesterday, I was checking Lindsay's blog and found she has this 3 challenges, you can participate in one or all three . You can click here to check for more info.

On the first card I made it for the challenge # 1 Technique: Where I am try to keep stamps and embellishments short by not stamping at all . I was inspired by a great artist paper in Etsy. I used a paper piercing and as letter molds I used Chipboard Alphabet from Jo-Ann Scrap Essentials. It was easy and therapeutic.

just a different view of the same card.

This card, I made for Challenge # 2 Color: Making a card with none Christmasy colors!? Holy cow! Well, I did my best and I think I pull it off. Let me think, for this one I used a lot of tiny little things specially color. I used all Stampin Up colors from the Bold brights set of ink pads ( Tempting turquoise, Orchid Opulence, Yoyo Yellow) I usedPunch Pals stamp set, Bassil purplish cardstock and my mind's eye designer paper. Ufff... I think I got them all. If you have any questions about any of the materials please let me know!

I have made other Christmas cards but I have always used, you kow the regular colors, greens and reds, etc. I like how this one turned out, what do you think? Do you think you can make a Christmas card with non-traditional colors? Give it a try!

This is the inside of the card. Enjoy it and don't forget to let me know what you think.

In the mean time, I am going to keep making some more cards or even better I will keep checking blogs for ideas!

Hugs!

An 8 year Old Girly Card

Not much hapening this week, after being on a great Hike in Merida. I wanted to also show a card I made before traveling.

It was made for an 7 year girly girl who was turning 8. I loved covering the chipboard I need to get better files to give them a better finish. I used a regular small file and I was soooooo tempted to use embossing powder... (sigh) didn't have the time and I thought it would have riund the kind of vintage look of it.

Anyway, here it is. I used DCWV paper and My mind's eye paper. I enjoyed using Best ocassion chipboard punched board, I loved using 2 way glue, Defining Alphabet, Wood Stamps from the paper studio/stampabiities.

Hope you like it and hope you enjoy it!

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration # 27

I have not been very inspired lately! I keep looking at gorgeous card makers, I am soooooooo impress with everything they create and then I checked on Kristina's blog and there it was, a Color Inpsiration, I am a bit sad there isn't going to be Top Ten but instead, we get something greater not only we can check each other's submissions but also get Blog Candies... yummmmmy! and so here are the colors for this week and my submissions.

Babies! How cute they are!!!! I keep making baby cards for invitations or just for congratulations. This one is for a baby girl.

Yes, This one was inspire in one of the soooo many Cards Kristina made some time ago! I looooooved that card and so I decided to give it a try. It is definitely not as super dupper cute as hers but I still think it is cute what do you guys think?

This one I have made taking the template from the card I posted some time ago. I couldn't help but adding a brown ribbon and make it yummy. You can also see the tiny little line I was going to use to add a message but I just didn't think it would look very good. Pretty simple yet again cute!

Hope you like them and help you get inspired to keep creating.
