Want some Fresh Flowers?

Here is a Semi Handmade project I did about a month ago! (I will tell you the story later!) and I have been wanting to share it with you since the very first moment I did it!

For this project I used the Mimi Papers: First I made the Flowers, I cut the bigger flowers by hand (yes, I did, lol, I am not good with scissors!) and the little one using the Flower Punch that we carry.

As you know I am the host of the Scrapbooking Challenge there and I love it!! is so much fun to come with challenges for your fellow sisters! Our main goal in the Forum is to help us each other, so my main focus is to give ideas on how to introduce Scrapbooking to FUNshops! My challenge this time was to showcase on of our AWESOME SWIC Collections adding the extra touch and FUN with our GORGEOUS stamps! I choose the Mimi Collection and the Linear Sentiment Stamps set! Here I decorated the cardstock with the doted stamp from the LS Set and then added the White Gel Pen to get an extra effect! I really like the results! because is a simple and quick layout that you can WOWed at it! I love to show others how easy can be to do scrapbook! you don't have to incorporate all the NEW techniques and trends to do some scrapbook! you just need to presserve the treasures of your heart! and get those pictures out of those boxes! Haven't start doing scrapbooking! I challenge you to start now! and share with me your work!

In this layout I also used: Just a note (a great set for journaling) and Family is Forever! I love this set for this kind of picture! We enjoy so much at El Morro in Old San Juan!

Another Gift Idea for MOM!

Today was a super busy day! We went out early in the morning! and arrived early in the evening! that's a lot of time because it wasn't the plan. BuT we have an incredible family time and the girls had fun!!

I came to my workshop early in the night! and here is what I came up with! I have a bunch of CD cases that don't fit in my CD towers where I have my stamps! so I need to do something with them, right? Here is what I did!! a Desktop Frame! I love how easy was to do this!! and it looks pretty cool! is a inexpensive, quick and easy gift idea that you can use over and over for any ocassion, I love when I can do something like this. Hope you enjoy it!

I used the Catelynne Paper Collection, Pink, Kraft and Brown cardstock and the tag is from the Mimi Collection, I need to use those tags that comes with our paper! I Know that some people have a hard time using them, but I am in LOVE with those tags!! I need to do some more of the mini cards using them! is so fun and so sweet! check them out here!

Wednesday of Challenge

Is Wednesday already, but if yesterday was Sunday!! oh wow! so here we are again with the Wednesday of Challenge!! Are you ready for another Challenge? This one is very easy!! Since Mother's Day is just in a few days, what about of doing something for a special Mother in your life? That's my challenge to you! and please come back and post here with the Mister Linkys feature! I will love to see what you are up to and use your ideas as my inspiration as well!

My take on this was to create an 8 X 8 wall hanging chipboard frame. Is very easy to do: Start doing a Scrapbooking Layout! I used Angelee for mine since the picture I wanted to scrap was an old picture that I found of Mom & Me when I was 5 months old. Then I mounted in a chipboard piece, did 2 holes and add a ribbon to it! Voila! I have a great gift that I know MOM is going to love and is was very easy to do. I did it in less than ½ hour.

Can't wait to see wha you come with! Don't forget to show me! and if you want/need to see something you see here, you can go to my online store here and here is what I used for this project: Angelee Paper Collection, Family is Forever and Family Fun (get it while supplies last with 25% off).

Love,
Diana

**I pre-programed this entry and I don't know why, it doesn't show up yesterday. I did it today manually**

Mini Purse Scallop Tutorial

Hey, Mother's Day is almost here! so if you need to dome quick and simple yet a cute gift! here is something you can try!

You need a 4 X 4 piece and 2 scalloped punches for each mini purse you need.

First: Score the scallops at 2. Stamp or embelish one of the scallops piece as you want.

Second: Score the 4 X 4 pieces at 1½ and 2½, turn the piece and score at 1 and 3. With this you are going to make a little box as you may see in the template!

Third: Add the scallops to the box and embellish more if desired.

Note: For the handle cut a little bit of cardstock and you can attach it with glue dots or brads, depends on what you are going to give inside of them!

Hope you like it and give it a try! this is super cute and very easy to do!! If you want to get the products for make this, you can go to my store to get them: Giga Scalloped Circle Punch, Scor Pal, Kraft Cardstock, Audrey Embelishment Jar, Angelee Paper Collection.

Love,
Diana

NSD - No time to Scrap?

Today we Celebrate the NSD! "National Scrapbooking Day" and one of the things I heard a lot is that "I have no time to Scrap" and when I talked about Stamping to the Scrapbookers is that they don't want to incorporate Stamping into Scrapbooking most of the time because they "are scare". So today I challenge myself to get some time for me and work with some AMAZING pictures I have in a box! Yes, that's me!! lol! I don't have a lot of pictures of me (unless from Seminar, lol) so I picked a bunch of this cute pictures and I sure have fun!

Today, in honor of the NSD! I challenge myself to NOT work with cards today! I don't know if you know, but I start this journey as a Scrapbookers, when I discovered STAMPING! I start making cards and altered stuff! but now I am RE-discovering my passion for using stamps in my scrapbooks again!

I started with something simple for those Stampers that are not yet into scrapbooking and here is the result. A simple page with just a word in stamps. I use Mimi paper collection because I LOVE IT! and because you know something? I love that picture, lol! I was a little cute baby (sadly I can't say that anymore, lol).

Then I decide to keep my pattern paper and add a little bit of stamping what you think? Yes, that's me again (I started looking not so good! lol) with my dear grandma that is with God! I sure miss her! (she died when I was 19) I used to be with her most of the time and it was really sad for me! Anyway not sad stuff today! For this layout I just mount some pattern paper, yep! Catelynne with brown cardstock and I did some piercing in the green cardstock! to add a little bit of stamping I stamped some swirls from the Swirlies set! just as a touch of sweetness!


Since I was thinking about my grandma I picked this picture of her! it match so good with Penelope paper collection that I went to get some scrap pieces! I didn't want to just use the Pattern Paper I want to do some background effect to the Kraft cardstock! I grab my Script Background stamp and stamp it all over the Kraft cardstock! then I just mount the pieces together and finish the layout with a tag from the collection and FLOWERS! you can't go wrong with some flowers, right?

Finally! yes, I am soooo tired! (I did all this stuff while I cooked, did some loads of laundry, answer e-mail and checked the forums and groups, and everything in between! and I spent all morning playing with the girls! and in the afternoon we start learning Latin!) I am using ONLY cardstock to do this layout! I love how using cardstock only, you get the simplicity this old pictures needs! This is me with my cousin Mariela! I just added the Running Stitches stamp (since I don't have a sewing machine yet)and a Scalloped border using my scallop scissors.

Hope you enjoy this ideas! and get to do some scrapbooking, remember Scrapbooking is not about Fancy/Gorgeous pages! is about preserving the treasures of your heart, is about get them in a safe place and out of those boxes! Don't be afraid to get them done in a simply way, don't get scare to incorporate stamps on your layouts! is simple, is cool!! (start stamping in scrap papers! and then try to do some basic stamping!). Have fun and get those pictures out of the box!

If you need/want to buy some products to start, visit my store here, or contact me to help you start!

Love,
Diana
