We have GOD in our lives and that is the best of all!!

Within TAC! another year that I went to Seminar and I won a tiara!! lol, I need to tell you it was a blast! being an Angel is more than FUN!! You get to meet with the most truly sweet ladies, we had a great time in Wichita!

2 days 'til Christmas!



Hello All!! I finally sent all my christmas cards today!! Now working with gifts for christmas! This is one I did for my sister, is a coaster calendar/frame. She is a counselor and I think she can use it on her desk! There she can display a photo too, so she can have two gifts in one!

I sued Catelyne paper collection (remember that this awesome collection is on sale right now, buy one get one FREE! valid 'til Dec. 31), I also used the Early Bird and Soul kisses special sets! (you can get this at a special price with your $30 purchase!)

Hope you have a great night! at just 2 days for Christmas!

4 days 'til CHRISTMAS!!

Is almost here!! the day we celebrate Jesus came to SAVE us!! what a blessing is that we can celebrate Him and we can share the good news with others. Take your time to think about Him, about what He have done in your life and share that with others.

I have a great day today! I teach Bible School to my daughters and we talk about Faith! it was such a blessing to share with them about it (it was Peter's story when he walked on water) and then at Church the Pastor preach about the Annunciation when the Angel talked to Maria, what a Great Woman!! I always cry when I read this story, is just amazing, she was a woman, but she received God's favor because she was special. Her character was humble, she was obedient and she LOVES God with all her heart! We need to learn so much from her! I hope you feel the joy of the Christmas on your heart and may God be with you this Christmas day and always!

About the card! This was the other card I did yesterday! the one that I did 8 cards (some are in Spanish and some have two lil trees instead of the one big tree!) I enjoy a lot doing this! it was really quick! because I had the trees pre-cut!

Have a great evening!

Love,
Diana

6 days 'til Christmas a LONG day!

OUCH!!! Today was a really LONG day! We went out today with the idea of pay the cell phone bill (the one with the company we used to be for more than 7 years! and that we didn't have any contract now! for my surprise when I tried to pay on the authomatic machine it said that my balance was more than $700 so I called customer service and they said that my contract was until 2009! wich I'm sure isn't so I wait for 2 hours to be attended for a cs representative! she reminds of us (long story) so she just added a note in the system (because our account was cancelled, we switch company) so she couldn't do more than that, then she put me on the phone with the Financial dept! and the adjust me the account (well I need to wait 2 biz day to be sure of this) wow more than 3 hours there!! so our shopping trip was reduced now he left almost 4 hours later because we need to have lunch! we headed to another town wich is about an hour to go shopping (some outlets stores) we finished the shopping time around 6:30 and we came back home!

I cooked something quick and started working here on my workshop I cut about 6 of this project but I'm so tired!! that I just put together this 3!! Hope you like it, there are post-it note holders!! I did them with the scor-pal.

How to?

With a 7½ x 3½ cardstock, score at 3½ and 4. Then embelished as desire! Easy peasy!! right?

I need to run, I'm sooooooooo TIRED, the problem with the cell phone company just took a lot of my energy, the lady at customer service through the phone was soooooo NASTY!! that I was sooo UPSET!! lol, now I just can laugh about it!! Have a great weekend!

I know that this new year will bring lots of new stuff to my life so I need to prepare myself for all that!! and I just haven't! but I will! I trust my God that He is the one in control and I know He loves me and wants the best for me and my family! He is our Lord and I trust Him for everything saying that I just have to change what I have said! I'm ready for 2009!!! are you?

Do you have any goals or resolutions? If you have any share with me I will love to know what you have on mind! Mines are easy I need to lose about 10 pounds (yes the same 10 from the last 10 years, lol) I guess I don't want to! I want to be able to submit to magazines! I will LOVE to be publish in any magazine!! that have to be a really amazing experience!

I was sooo excited, I just had to call my daughter to let her know and yes I have tears in my eyes!! she was soooo excited for me! (she is 8) and then I just look at Ginger she had a Designer ribbon too!! We were sooooooooooo happy!! so I can imagine!!

Well no more blah, blah! I made this card with the Vintage Holiday paper from TAC (discontinued) I love that paper!!! sooooooooooo much!!

WOW!!! today is my birthday!! yeahhh! I enjoy a lot this day! specially when I just woke up to see my lil daughters standing there with the presents!! (I was spoiled with 2 outfits!!) and my DH gave me FLOWERS!! They are just awesome! Do I tell you before how much I love them? Well, in case you have missed it! I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH!!

Well then when I got a chance to check my e-mail! wow!! there were a lot of Happy Birthday messages on my inbox!! I was sooooooo excited!! Thank you very much for your prayers, your wishes and all the great words you e-mailed me!! Thank you with all my heart!!

And since today is my birthday! I want to share with you a template/tutorial I did. The other day I did a search trying to get my hands on some wood blocks! but I have no luck! when I found them (I want them 2.5 inches) the shipping to Puerto Rico was SOOOOOOOOOO hight! that I was bummed! I want to do some cubes with pictures! but I thought it wasn't worthy! so I decided to do my own chipboard cubes, anyway I invest on my Scor Pal and that tool is soooo awesome that she is going to help me do what I want! and when you want something sooo bad, you can make it, right? At least if is something crafty, right? Here is what I did!







What you need to do a 2.5 chipboard cube?

First you need an 8½ X 11 piece of chipboard (I got mine here)
And the Scor Pal Follow the pictures and if you have any question just let me know!

Remember this can be great gifts for grandparents and you can add more pictures, more embelies, just as you like! I did it like this because I need to post it here!! asap!

Sixth day of DECEMBER and a GC how to...

I'm not a big fan of Gift cards but since they are a good idea I just create this one from an 8½ X 11 cardstock (you can do 4 from an 8½ X 11 cardstock) is a quick and inexpensive idea right? and you can embelish as much as you desire and more personal. You don't have to use those standard that they comes with in some stores!

How to: (see pictures for details)

First cut a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 cardstock (the same size as a card front, cut half and then half again). On the 5 1/2 side score at 1" and 3 1/2. On the 4 1/4 side score at 2/3 each side (see picture for details). Cut the side that you don't need. Ad red line tape to close the sides and embelish as desire!

Love,
Diana

Fifth Day of Christmas! and another how to...

I got 3 packages today, but I wasn't here!!!! Now I can't wait til tomorrow to go to the Postal Office to get them!! what that can be? Oh well I know that are scrapbooking stuff! but 2 boxes are from TAC! so I know that I have there my NEW PINK Bind IT All!! and some other cool stuff to play with!! Can't wait!! I have about 2-3 mini albums ready to go just waiting for the BIA to finish them!!

Do you remember about the 3 X 11 piece of cardstock that I have from yesterday chocolate pocket card? Well I just thought that I need to something with it (other than a mini card or a gift tag!) and this was what I did!! Do you like it? I enjoy doing it!! is just a quick idea for those moments when you need to do something quick and that you can use a lot!! I have the calendar pages to create some CD calendar! but I need to cut more for that! because those was the perfect size for this idea and I can keep it on my purse!! what fabulous idea!!

How to:

Score the 3 X 11 piece of cardstock at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, 10 and 10 1/2
Print a 2009 calendar at your computer (size is 2 3/4 x 3
Then embelish as you desire!! and you're DONE!! I did mine like a purse and use the Reece paper because I have lots of scraps on my table!! so I need to use them or toss them so I prefer to used them! If you need more instructions please let me know, is really late and I'm tired, I will try to draw a template tomorrow!!

Have a great weekend!!

Love,
Diana

Fourth Day of DECEMBER! and a how to...

WOW!! Is already 3 weeks to Christmas!! are you ready? Well, if you say yes! Congratulations!! if you say no! you still have time, and we are on the same boat!! I need to finish a couple or to be specific a LOT of things to do! but you know I can be up until the other day in case I need to do it! lol!

Here is a simple gift I did today! Is a pocket card to hold a Chocolate pack inside, is very easy to do and a great gift for co-workers! I used the Reece paper collection with Kraft and brown cardstock, Birdy Holiday and Spirit of Christmas everything from TAC in case you have it and want to CASE it!


How to:


Cut a 5½ x 11 (the remaining 3 x 11 you can use it for little cards or gift tags)
With the Scor Pal (or any other scoring system) score at 4 1/4, 4 3/4 and 9. Then make a pocket inside adding red tape to the flap inside (see pictures) and embelish. I will try to make a template in case you need it!

Hope you enjoy this time of the year!

Diana

Lot of stuff going on!

Ohhh, I feel terrible! I want to update my blog every day, but there is so much stuff going on that I can't. I will try my best but pleas forgive me if I can't!

I want to share this tags I made. Do you like the music paper? I have it here for a long, long time! this paper was from Leaving Prints and I just found them in my stash and I want to play with them! of course I combined it with TAC products (Brown, Green, Red and Kraft cardstock, Vintage Holida patter paper (retired) and Holiday Cheer stamp set)

I really have fun making this! are you working with your Christmas stuff or do you finished that already? Please comment here and let me know! I'm working but so far I have done just about 10%, ouch! I know I'm late!

Love,
Diana

TAC entry and a winner!

Hey!! I forgot to told you something really cool! I'm SOOOOOOOOOO Happy!!!! Yesterday, TAC sent us the monthly newsletter! (and they have great promos for December, but that isn't the best for me) The best part of that newsletter (for me and one of my good friends!) is that my dear friend and downline Yarimar Rosa won a contest, she is a very special friend for me and SOOOO TALENTED!! The project is AWESOME! is very beautiful, you need to check it out, go here to get inspire and then check also the other contest winners, everything is gorgeous!!

The cards here was one submission that I sent but it wasn't a winner, lol!! I used Willoughby, Simply Divine (from Mabelle's line) and Tag Tidbits stamps sets!

Love ya!
