I (love) you

Hice esta tarjeta hoy siguiendo un formato que Holly Hudspeth publicó en el Cricut Messageboard. ¡Gracias Holly por el formato! Además del formato, el reto era hacer una tarjeta de San Valentín para un niño(a) y usar cualquier animal de cualquiera de los cartuchos. Definitivamente para mí, "Create a Critter" era el cartucho que habia que utilizar. ¿No es tierna esa ardilla?

I made this card today following a sketch that Holly Hudspeth posted at the Cricut Messageboard. Thanks Holly for the sketch! The challenge was to make a Valentine´s day card for a child using any animal from any cartridge. For me the cartridge I must use, was Create a Critter. Isn´t that squirrel cute?

Como perros y gatos / Like cats and dogs

Es momento de un nuevo reto en Flaunt it Fridays y el corte de Cricut para esta semana es el borde del Perro y el gato del cartucho Paper Pups. Yo no tengo ese cartucho por lo que hice mi propio borde usando A Child's Year para el perro y el gato, y el zacate de Plantin School para unir a las mascotas. Como el pajarito en la pala estaba un poco perdido, lo use para que fuera la "i" de la palabra "friends" (amigos).

Espero les guste y si tienen a bien, me dejen sus comentarios... Me encanta leer comentarios en mis publicaciones.

It is time for a new Challenge at Flaunt it Fridays and the cut for this week is the Cat and Dog border from Paper Pups. I don't have Paper Pups cart :o( so I decided to create my own border using A Child's year.
I welded the Cat image with the dog and also used the grass from Plantin School to join both pets. I thought that the little bird on the shovel (who came in the original cut with the cat) was a little bit lost there, so I used it as the "i" on friends.
I hope you like it, and if you would like to, leave me a comment... I love to read comments on my posts.

Es Viernes! / It's Friday!

Otra semana ha pasado y de nuevo es momento para otro reto en Flaunt it Fridays.
Esta semana se nos ha pedido usar el oso en el basurero que aperece en el cartucho Give A Hoot.
Mi proyecto es un rotulo para motivar un poco nuestro pensamiento a la hora de botar la basura. Fue además un regalo para quien fue mi maestra de Kinder. Ella ahora da Talleres Ecológicos a niños de todas las edades. Mi hija y yo fuimos a participar a sus talleres y dejamos el rótulo para decorar su zona de reciclaje.

Another week has gone and it's time again for another challenge at Flaunt It Fridays.
For this week the design team was asked to use the "Bear in a trash can" cut from the Give A Hoot cartridge.
My project is a sign to motivate us to think when we are about to throw something to the garbage. It is also a gift for my Kinder Garden teacher. She is offering Ecological Workshops to kids from all ages. My daugther and I participated on her workshops and leave the sign there to embelish her recycle zone.

Lauren's card / Una tarjeta para Lauren

Libreta de notas

Cuando hay más de una cosa por hacer, anotar mensajes, la lista del super... qué práctico y conveniente es tener papel y lápiz a mano.

Esta con motivo de San Valentín es un regalito perfecto para el día de la amistad, en mi caso un regalo de San Valentín por adelantado para mi hija.

Un par de tarjetas / A couple of note cards.

Un par de tarjetas tipo "note cards"... muy simples pero que cumplen con su función de decir a quién las reciba que es dada: "Pensando en ti".

A couple of note cards... they are very simple but they serve their purpose of telling the recepient "I'm thinking of you".

Flaunt it Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop

Hello Welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop.
If you are here from Glenda's then you are in the right spot.

If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please go directly to the Flaunt It Friday's web site.

For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Hello Kitty with Airplane from the Hello Kitty Greeting Cart.
Since I don't have HKG cart, I decided to use the airplane from New Arrival and the Kitty from Hello Kitty font. I welded them and tweaked the plane a little on my Gypsy to make it look more like the one in the original cut and there you go... Here is the project I made.
It is a banner for my daughter's friend. She will be turning 5 this weekend and her party will be Hello Kitty themed, so I made this banner with her name, to decorate the wall during the party. If she likes the banner enough, maybe she can also use it on her bedroom door/wall for a while.

For my second project I chose this little Kitty from the HKF and welded it with the number 5 and the letters to make the card for my daughter's friend.

For this Blog hop, I am giving a Blog Candy which is a Valentine's day clear stamp set, a few inks and some super cute 3d stickers for your Valentine's projects. All you have to do for a chance to win the blog candy is to follow my blog (if you are not a follower yet) and leave a comment on this post. That's it!

Our hop will run all weekend long, so I will chose the winner for my my blog candy on Monday Jan. 10th.

Remember that you must leave a comment on everyone's blog to have a chance to win the Grand Prize Giveaway which is the Love Always stamp set sponsored by Pink By Design. The grand prize will be on Sandra's blog! You will have all weeked to complete the hop and we will draw the winner sometime on Monday or Tuesday.

Family time with the Martínez

This week challenge at the Flaunt it Friday is to use the Martini glass from the "From my Kitchen" cricut cartridge.

My family name is Martínez and (more than) a few years ago (when I was studing my carreer), an art profesor ask us to make a logo for our names, so I did one with a martini glass in the place of the T on my last name.

I decided to re-make that old idea with the help of my cricut and here is what came out.

Hope you like it! Let me know what do you think.

El reto de esta semana en Flaunt it Friday es usar la copa de Martini del cartucho "From my Kitchen" de Cricut .

El apellido de mi familia es Martínez y hace (más de) algunos años (cuando estaba estudiando mi carrera) un profesor de arte nos pidió que diseñaramos un logo para nuestros nombres, así que yo había hecho uno en el que cambié la letra T de mi apellido por una copa de martini.

Decidí re-hacer esta vieja idea con la ayuda de mi Cricut y este es el resultado.

Espero les guste y me dejen saber que piensan.
