Fabulous Friend

Hello crafty friends! This is my first post as a 3 Girl JAM designer and I'm oober excited!!!  I wanted to show you this card I made using the awesome 3 Girl JAM products.

I used the Sterling and Witches Brew crinkle ribbon. I love combining 2 different colors of the ribbon to make a bow. I also used the Lilac Purple twine, this twine is different because it doesn't have the bright white element to it.  The stamp is Stella from The Greeting Farm and  I colored her with my promarkers (still need lots of practice to learn how to blend, but I broke them out anyway!) .  The sentiment is from KinderStampO and the flag dies are from Jaded Blossom.

Wishing you all a happy Friday and don't forget that you still have time to go through the Nice to Meet You blog hop to qualify for a grand prize!

Happy Birthday Kimi!!!

Today is one of my crafty bestie's birthday!  Happy Birthday Kimi!!! I made this altered composition book for her to be able to write anything she wants for her kids.   They are still small but as a mother, I know some things are very important to share and what a great way to leave them a legacy in the future!

I used 3 Girl Jam Holly Berry Ribbon, Canvas Corp mini circles (I distressed the edges),  the dotted paper is from Echo Park and the circle paper is from DCWV, My Creative Time Curly Label die, Market Street Stamps Simple Joys stamp set for the sentiment and KinderStampO charms with the monograms and lock and key charm.  Each of the letters is for the first letter of Kimi's children's name (Taylor, Diego, Jenna and Danika).  The flowers are from Recollections.

Don't forget to swing by the other bestie's page, Tanya, to see what she has created for Kimi.  You don't want to miss it!

Happy Birthday Kimi! I'm so glad that we met and that we've become such good friends! I hope you like the idea of writing for your children and I pray that you have a beautiful day celebrating with your whole family! Love you girl!

KinderStampO Guest Designers Blog Hop!!!

If you are looking for the eCraft giveaway please click here

Hi everyone! I have some awesome news!!!! I will be guest designing for Jess from KinderStampO!!! (can I get a woot woot!!!). She is an awesome crafter and has some awesome products!! She has a great line up of awesome guest designers that she would like you to meet and this blog hop is short and sweet just to do that.  
If you missed the Meet the 2011 Design Team blog hop click here. 

Since KinderStampO's motto is Live. Craft. Inspire,  here is a little bit about each on me.

Live
I live in Miami, Florida and I am a mom of 3 children Elizabeth 13, Jessica 11 and Daniel 8.  I am married to a wonderful husband who just loves me enough to put up with my crazy schedule of working full time, and being a cheer mom. In addition, he totally supports me with my crazy crafting hobby!!! How awesome is that?!?!

Craft
I started crafting about 3 years ago and it all began with scrapbooking.  I later found that facebook and blogging was a great way to learn new things and make new friends that share the same awesome interest.  So in December in 2010, I decided to create my own blog.  Little did I know that in less than one year, I would be involved in 4 different design teams and most importantly made some awesome new friends! Some people think I'm crazy for spending so much time and effort on one project, but in the end, it makes me feel good to look at it and to know that someone special will be receiving something that I put so much love, time and effort in.

Inspire
I am inspired by my family's support and appreciation of my hobby.  It never ceases to amaze me how even the worst project for me, it's the best project for them and it's all in the name of support.  I am still in a learning process, but my hope is to learn enough where I can show more tutorials in my blog.  Until then, the inspiration of others come from my little creations.

So now you know a little bit about me! Since this is a blog hop, there is a little blog candy involved!  For a chance to win some blog candy from KinderStampO.  Just stop by KinderStampO's Facebook Page and let them know I sent you and/or leave a comment on each of the guest designers blogs.  One lucky winner will win a prize from KinderStampO.

Thanks for stopping by and I'm sure you are just as eager as all of us to see what this new group of ladies is going to create for KinderStampO! God bless you all!

Today is a very special day over at Lovebug Creations.  It is Mama Lovebug's 40th wedding anniversary!!!  Surprise!!!!!! Happy Anniversary Mama Lovebug!!!  Kimi asked me to help her celebrate this special day and I was most honored to be a part of it.  For this special event, I have made a layout to be placed in a shadowbox.  I couldn't get a good picture of it in the shadowbox, but will be sending it in the shadowbox for Mama Lovebug to put a picture of her choice of her and Papa Lovebug!!

Mama Lovebug... I hope you are super surprised and that you and Papa Lovebug have a beautiful day. May God bless you with many many more years of happiness. I love you!!!!

For this project, I used the silver paper from the DCWV Glitter Stack, the numbers and letters were from a Paper Pizazz (I cut each of them individually from the paper) the background paper I can't remember where it's from!  I used Creative Memories I used the blossom place an punch for the glitter paper and their paper flowers.  I also used KinderstampO's Vintage Love stamp set.

Friendship Wiper Card

Good Monday morning everyone!  This weekend was a crazy weekend.  I worked on some projects for clients which I will show later on in the week, but I also worked on a fun card to enter in a contest.  Erika from Cricut Love has a great video on making a wiper card.  These cards are fun, super cute and easy to make.  My version is below:

I used Ebony from Greeting Farm and used KinderstampO's Friendship stamp set.  All three stamps are from that set. My lighting was horrible last night, so I think I overlooked the red (hehe...) I still had a lot of fun making it though.  Go ahead and give it a try! If you link up your wiper card on her blog, you will be in a drawing for a K Andrews Positive Thoughts stamp set!!!

Have a great day everybody and God bless!!

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #7

Welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge! This week it's all about going back to basics and not using the cricut. Can you imagine doing such a thing? LOL! What did we do before the cricut?  Do you remember?  I certainly don't.  I got into scrapbooking and crafting when I learned about the cricut, so for me it's unknown.  After a couple of years of crafting I have learned so many different techniques and methods that I've also learned that you can be just as creative without it.  The cricut just opens up your creativity a bit more.

 For my project, I made this card for a special friend.  I used a digi from The Greeting Farm and just colored it with my prismacolor pencils.  I also added a little bling to it. The sentiment is from KinderstampO stamp from her vintage birthday collection.

Don't forget to check out the other designer's blogs and to link up your back to basics project on the Whimsical Wednesday blog!  Today's challenge is being sponsored by no other than moi! (hehehe).  You can win this awesome friends lacing card kit by Cosmo Cricket.  I'm also adding 3 sets of ribbons to go along with it.

Hope you all have a Whimsical Wednesday and God bless!
