March WOW Blogger - Special Guest




First, I need to apologize because I couldn't send to anyone the package for this month WOW blogger! I had a lot of stuff on my plate and I couldn't contact her on time so I just contacted her for April!! I am really sorry for this. BUT, I have a Special Guest Designer for you today!! Let me tell you the story, DH was out and arrive on Saturday, so my oldest daughter, Mariana, wants to do something special for him. She started asking for a lot of stuff! lol. She wants to do a wood frame similar to one I did for the living room, but I didn't have any of those here. I opened my closet looking for something that can WOW her (she is ) and I found that box!! she was WOW! "yes mom, that can work", lol!! she asked for some papers that looks masculine (she said blue, brown and kraft, yes I was like, what? and she told me you can find something here) so I looked and found the Winchester collection she agreed and I gave her one 5 X 7 of each 5 papers, and here what she did ALL by HERSELF!!! (I only help her looking for the words she ASKED! yes she placed the tags and flower and she asked me to look for a bid DAD (that fir that label) the AND (she founded) and the word US, is on that flower because US are Mariana, Rebeca, Gabriela and ME since we are girls that word have to be in something GIRLY! I was WOW! (you have to see her talking, she talks just like me, doing all king of thing with her face and hands) I love it! I am going to do a workshop with this project, lol! Well since I didn't have a WOW blogger for you I thought to picked her to be my WOW guess! can you leave some love for her? she is 9 y/o and LOVE to scrap and stamp with or without mom, lol! She is waiting to be 18 to sign up with TAC! can you tell? I guess that I will be done when that happen, lol!
I am sure she is going to love to read your comments! she don't know that I am doing this! so is a whole surprise!!

What you think? does she have talent or is only mom's eyes!! Well mom and DH because he was WOW with it as well, he told her tha she can submit it to a contest or magazine!! lol, so I guess we are proud of her!! I know we are!

Recipe: Winchester paper collection, Just a note, Punch Label Words(retired), Remembrance (retired) F is for Family (retired), Flower punch and circle punch, Kraft box (the ones for jewelery).

Love,
Diana

Today is Little Cupcake Day!


Yes, Today is Blog Hop!! and look who is feature!! this cute stamp set!! is Little Cupcake!! yes one of Mabelle's new sets!! I know I have told you this before, but I am sooo happy to play more with it!!
Anyway about my project! If you know me you know that I love mini stuff! right? Well so I since I have done a couple of stuff with this Sweet set! I want to do something different! I started picking the images I haven't use that much! (the Cake in the base, the Lollipop and the candle)and I made this set of three mini cards (they are 3 X 4 and I love this size because you get 6 cards from a 12 X 12 cardstock, isn't that COOL?) Then I just have to pair it with the Mia's Cottage paper since this set is also designed by my dear friend Mabelle!! don't you love her designs? and if you get to know her you will love her as well!

What I did! For the first card, I stamped the cake with the base and then did paper piece with it so I can get that sweet image inside the square from Sweet goodies (yes, I eat cake today! lol), I colored it using my Impress Markers and add some stickles on it and I used pop dots for the image!, for the second card I used the Lollipop stamp (is so lovely!!) I colored it doing lines with the three colors I used and of course I add stickles too! this image was stamped inside the square using the mask technique!. For the third card I also did paper piecing (there was no way to stamp this one inside the square!) and mount it on pop dots. Please let me know if you have any question!

Let give it a try to this project, go shopping here. What you need? Little Cupcake, Sweet Goodies, Mia's Cottage and Mega Scalloped Square punch. I know you have lots of white cardstock but just in case here you can find them too!

Be sure to check this talented angels that play with this set as well! Hope you find inspiration and get in love with it as I am!

The girls playing are!

WOW! I have been lost, right? Well so much work to do! but I can tell you I have done a lot! including packing a bunch of paper and I also set aside another bunch to sale on a garage sale soon! why do we buy lots of papers? are we going to use all that? shhhhhhh don't tell DH! lol!

About the project! This was the theme for the Wingers project on Paper Wings: GO GREEN! so I used carboard (from a clean box), to create this little cute house! I love it!! is so cool! I used some Bazzill cardstock strips that you can get from TAC and the tree is from one of our Online Only stamp sets: Early Bird. I need to keep working so this is all for now! I am trying to take a picture of the Blog Candy (enter here) so stay tune!!
