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!

Congratulations You Have Had a Few Baby Cards

I was very productive today, an the whole weekend, not only took care of couple of things at home but was also bursting with creativity. well, not really it took e a while to came up with two baby cards, but here is the other one I made today.

I was sooo happy I had to take a pic and post it. I will change it tomorrow morning!

I am very happy that baby cards does not feel as difficult anymore, after making the second one.

For this one I used SU punch, Fast Note stamps set, Tempting Turquoise ink pad, I have also used Congratulation stamp from stampabilities and Stabilo fine marker (0.4), the design paper. I am not sure who's because this paper and a bunch more I bought it used!

I really loooove the color combination, the window and the ribbon which I don't use often. Very lovely card. Do you think it is lovely too? hehehe I know I have to learn to be more humble hehehe. Still let me know!

Hugs!

Good Luck Carolina!

Carolina, a good friend from work is leaving overseas... (sigh)... We will miss her. I made this card really fast. I was inspired by Bombus at Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5114036 ) I love the cards and other awesome goodies made creatively but also looooove the fact that the things are made out of recycle materials! check it out and you will see.

So... what do ya'll think? I really like it! it is very simple and very easy to make. I used American Craft Rub-ons, an old map from Chicago area ( though she is not going there hehe) Post-its and ribbonFX I got from Hobby Lobby this Summer.

Enjoy the view and get inspired.
