Kitty Card!!

WOW!! this is one of my favorite sets (Playful Kittie) from this catalog and this is the first time I play with it!! Hope you like it! I did this trying to go through my scrap box!! the stamp sentiment was stamp there, so I just color the image with my BIC markers and put everything together! The paper is from Uptown Girl (my daughters' favorite collection)

Love,
Diana

PS I thought I posted the Challenge, but for some reason I didn't. My apologies to you! On Wednesday I didn't feel good first and then at night was Criminal Mind's Premiere so you know where I was at!! Hope you can forgive me and play!

Wednesday of Challenge!!

Wohooo!! this month is really going fast! don't you think so? Well the challenge for today it was other, but oopsss I forgot to take the picture before sent my card!! does that have happened to you before? I will wait until my dear friend get it and ask her to take a picture for me!!

So I need to rush this one and the challenge is going to be easy! Try something you have done before, you like it, but for some reason (maybe some messy stuff) you don't do it frequently!

Here is a card I did using (of course) the NEW Spanish Sentiments stamp set from TAC, Kamahlat paper (retired), Fiskar border punch tool, some flowers I got from a Dream Designs Kit and Glitter with Versamark ink (this is the thing I LOVE but for the messy part I don't do it as much as I will love)

Hope you like it! and please share with us!!

Love,
Diana

From Card to Crop



Is raining a lot down here!! and there is a lot of devastation on the southeast part of the Island, really sad! Hope they can receive the help they need at this moment, please pray for all the people affected around the world (Haiti, Cuba, Texas, Puerto Rico...)Thanks God me and my family are doing fine (we have a lot of rain and we had problems with the water service, but that is already back to normality, at least that what I think so)

Here is a project I did for PW's Newsletter! the theme was From Card to Crop, what you have to do is creat a Layout from a card sketch or idea and here is what I came with! The picture was taken at Dallas Zoo last year!

Hope you like it!

Love ya,
Diana

PS Check yesterday's post I add another photo to show the lil cards that where inside the clamshell!

A TAC's Contest Entry

TAC hold Monthly Contest for their demonstrator, each month they post 3 themes where we can work any project that the theme inspire us!, one From Card to Crop and one Terrific Trio (you should create 3 cards using 2 stamps sets). This is a perk of being an ANGEL*! you can get $75 in FREE stamps if you win and better than that, the $75 are on a demo discount order so you can get more than $100!! not bad, righ? So, finally I decided to send something!! Last month one of the themes was Colorful Chaos! and I was creating at my space one night (a project for Wingers- Paper Wings Forum) and my DH came and he just said, that is a chaos, so much colors there!! and I said, wait a second and I ran to the computer to check if that theme was past due! but NOT, it wasn't so I decided to send it to TAC! NO, I didn't win! but since I love it, I want to share it with you!

Hope you like it! In the picture is Mabelle and me! at Club Med 2008, it was so much fun that day, I knew here at 2007's Seminar and I feel like I know her forever, she is soooo sweet! and a special friend! I thought it was the perfect photo for the frame!! I used a bunch of flowers from the embelishment jars and scrapper floss, it is a Round Coaster! with a piece of magnet!

Love,
Diana

*If you want to get your wings!! and soar with TAC and me! this is a great moment! you can get $50 in extra stamps!! ask me about it! is a great time to save on your supplies, share your passion and teach other about this wonderful adventure!

Yeahhh, IS HERE!!

My Spanish Sentiments stamp set!! Wohoooo!! I can't wait to share with you some projects, so I'm going to start with this card! The stamps and pattern paper here are designed by Mabelle!! When I knew about the set in Spanish, I ran to my workshop to start working on this card! The girl's stamp and the paper are both discontinued, but since I love them I keep them. I color my image with BIC markers, I really like them. Hope you like it as much as I do! I stamped the Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas) direct to the green paper because the sentiment is bigger than what I calculate, lol!!

Love,
Diana

Another Rustic Chic Card

Yes, another one!! but I really love it, lol!!

Here I used a stamp set that I haven't used it so that counts, right? This set is not mine. I always like it but never bought it until my dear daughter ask me for it (she helps me with something I need to do and I let her choose a stamp set and she asked for this, is a really cute set).

About the card! I used the Rustic Chic paper pad, Bloom and Grow Stamp set, Brown Chocolate cardstock, I also love the dark chocolate color of this cardstock!! is plain cardstock so you can even stamp on it with ease! Is a must have!! If you want to replicate this card you can go here to shop with ease!

Love ya,
Diana
