I was feeling terrible bad!!! but thanks God on Saturday I went to do my blood test (I need to wait until Thursday for the results) and even do I was in the lab without eating for 3 hours!! and 5 blood tubes later! I finally got home and have a good family day! YIHAAAAAAA!! in the evening I started creating for the Design Call and I was working hard with that all weekend! on Monday I went again to the lab to do another test (the 2 hours sugar test?) and then I had to study for my class!! I LOVE MY CLASS!! do you know it? well I enjoy a lot my class on Monday and came home to watch Heroes and since CSI: Miami was an old one I came to my workshop to work with my submissions again (I didn't do much, I just take pictures and work with the recipe cards for the projects).

Today I was trying to put together my HUGE box to send to TAC, but my daughters wants to see Journey to the Center of the Earth! and mommy needs to see it with them, lol!! (Is a good movie!, we enjoy it a lot!) then I tried to go to the Postal Office but it was too late, so I slow down and finish everything to send it first thing tomorrow!! wow!! that was me in a nutshell for the last days!!

World Card Making Day!!

Today we have a blast celebrating the WCMD! We did 16 cards and an awesome/gorgeous box to keep them in!! I JUST LOVE this days when I can met with my dear friends and we can create and share!! I really LOVE this days!!

I'm going to share with you later the cards (we made 8 designs and made 2 of each) and then I create a box using the Scor-Pal! My oldest daughter asked me about 2 months ago to some drawers for her so she can keep her cards in! and I NEED TO DO SO! because she thinks I'm CREATIVE/WONDER Woman, lol!! Some kind of Wonder woman mix up with a LOT OF CREATIVITY! and she asked me to do a lot of creative things (and as a MOM I HAVE TO DO IT, right?) So I start creating her drawers and I thought it was a great idea than I just need to flip and get a nice box!! You have to see the results!!

I'm sorry but today I'm a lil bit tired, and upload the pictures and do a slide show with them is going to take a lot of time, so I will share everything later with you! I promise you are not going to be dissapointed and you're going to enjoy it a lot!! I did the template with instructions so you can do the box at your home!! as a gift for the WCMD! Does that sounds good to you?

Please leave me a comment to share with me what do you do today to celebrate the WCMD!! Hope you have a blast like us!!

Love,
Diana

PS The card here was one of the 8 designs we did today! both sets (Deco Designs and Spanish Sentiments) are Mabelle's designs.

Just a lil treat!

Yeah!!! Tomorrow is World Card Making Day! (WCMD) and of course I'm going to be celebrating it! I have a Card Making Day at my house!! using the Spanish Sentiment Stamp of course!! lol. So we are going to be doing 16 cards! (2 each of 8 designs) I did this lil treat to my hostess club members who order the Spanish Sentiment set but that didn't have the chance to come and play with me!

This is what I did: I put 10 white cards in this cute bag (I use the Cuttlebug Swiss dot folder to embelish it) and then add a ribbon with a felt flower and a scallop punch!! with the "para ti" phrase wich is "For you". Don't you like it? I love it!! and I know the Club Organizer just love it too!!

Talk to you tomorrow (I hope) I need to finish some details downstairs! I will love to share with you the sketches we are going to be working tomorrow!! (I designed them!! hope they like them, lol)
