Every Bit

Hello everyone... AGAIN!

I have been very happy with the Cosmo Cricket paper I got a few weeks ago. Bu I have also become very aware of how little paper I have and the so very SMALL chances of getting some more any time soon. So because of that I have become a RECYCLER. I've always tried to use every single piece of paper but nowadays I think twice before throwing anything. from circles to small corners.

So I have used couple of pieces of the 6x6 Cosmo Cricket paper to create several cards with different sentiments. Here they are:

On this one (on top)I started to put small and big pieces together...

Fot this one I was already a bit out of paper and cardstock. can you tell? hehehe.

I was trying to post these cards in the same order I made them but made the mistake of thinking I could change the order easily. Don't you hate when Blogger just doesn't make it wasy for you?!

Well, on this one (on top) I created still had a bit of paper. and created a window card.

Ohhhh on this one I still had a lot and made a circle and used a big piece to place on the side of the card again with KWerner inspiration!

Well, so these are all the cards I made with three pieces of 6x6 and help of leftover color cardstock.

Have you done such a challenge?! I mean using specific quantity of paper to make x number of cards?! If so let me know and tell me about how you rationed the paper.

Hugs!

EBTKS Challenge # 3

Hello everybody,


Have you been by the EBTKblog? Check this sketch out...what do you think? Even though I usually make sketches before I make a card (well I try)... this turned out to be quite difficult... you know I was in search of something that has never been done! hehehe silly me.. it took me forever to come up with something "unusual" and end up with...well... that... go on... keep scrolling down you'll see what I mean...Yeah this is it. I particularly like it... a bit disapointed that it wasn't out of the ordinary but hey... something doesn't have to be uncommon to be beautiful. right?

It's been a while since the last time I have submitted anything. want to play along? I think you might still have a few hours check it out! Everything But The Kitchen Sink challenge #3. Enjoy it!

I am going to keep this sweet and short to check on the other creations. I am always inspired and amazed of all the things everyone else do in these fun challenges.

I have used many materials that I was given and I have not a clue of what company designed the paper or what collection they are from the paper or brad. I have used Hero Art acrylic stamps, and Martha Stewart acrylic stamps with Versamark and embossing powder as well as brads.

Simple and super easy to do. What do you think?

Hugs!

NOTE: After looking at all the fabulous creations I have noticed I made a mistake in the layout of my card... I wonder if it will be automatically scratched from the challenge... canyou tell? the upper part of my layout is split ( between the brown and dark orage) sniff, sniff!

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!

Kristina's Color Inspiration #20

I am so very super happy I was able to participate again at the Color Inspiration from Kristina Werner. Here are the colors that should have inspired my card. Loving the furniture and much more the colors.

I am so eager to know what you guys think. I have used My mind's eye paper, MM brads, some scrapessential letter molds, old olive stamping pad to color the flowers and regular ribbon from the local store. And.... taaaa daaa, here it is, what do y'all think?

I think it is very simple design with cute colors and just enough embellishments, do you agree? Please let me know, leave a post!

Enjoy it!! Now back to work, and to other card making things!!
