Solo una corta notita para decirles Feliz Navidad y que el Señor esté contigo hoy y siempre. Que la estrella que alumbró en Belén, alumbre tu caminar hoy y siempre y que el niño Jesús nazca en tu corazón y en el de tus seres queridos. Esa es mi oración.

Aquí estoy disfrutando con mi familia este día y gozándome el nueva catálogo, siiiii recibí el mío hoy y también los nuevos productos, pero esos los veo mañana!! están debajo del árbol. Mi DH me dice que lo abra y yo quiero dejarlo para mañana para así sentir la emoción de cuando era niña.

A quick gift! and the template



This is a super quick gift (a post it note holder) I did for a friend a few days ago! I almost forget to send something handmade!! so I run to do this with her favorite color! Hope she likes everything in the package!

Here is the template I create for this, hope you can use this template and have fun with it!

















I use the crop-a-dile to do the holes! and is very easy and quick!

A little bit about me! I just have to tell you that I am in my physical therapies and working a lot to get better soon! Thanks God, that I am doing much better with the exercises! but still afraid or something, do not ask me what! I hope to continue as I am doing now and be available to start with my workshops soon!

I hope to take pictures of the last things I have done in the last days! I was pretty bussy with therapies and Continued education (I am a Professional Counselor, but I am not working on that right now).

I know that I owe you a tutorial for the 8000 hits!! and I noticed that I have 9000 now!! YIKES! but I promised I am going to do it better when I start walking by myself is kind of hard to move with only one foot!

Have fun!

Love,
Diana

PS I am going to work on my All about gift kit! I am almost done so I can share with you later!

Coaster Mini Album tutorial - A simple and gorgeus Mini album!




What you need:

5 square coasters (I used 4")
6 square pieces of pattern paper (4")
Adjustable Drill Press* (Optional, but you can save time and get perfects holes!)
A ring, ribbons and embelisments.

What you should do:

1. Add glue to coasters and then add the paper pieces. You should glue one piece of paper to each coaster, except the cover coasters that should be cover both sides!

2. Add the photos to the remaining spaces (4 photos if you are working with 5 coasters!)

3. Embelish your album and cover.

4. Using the Adjustable drill press, or whatever tool you have on hand to do holes, make the holes to all coasters on the same place. I do so at the top left corner.

5. Add a ring and some ribbons if you like.

6. You have a perfect gift for any ocasion.

***This tool is awesome, I used it a lot, is worth the money. You can make a hole to lots of chipboards at the same time!! is just perfect! Plus if you buy $50 in products you can have it as ½ price item if you do so before Nov. 30 and you can get a Level A set too for FREE!!, contact me for details***
