You are my sunshine tag

I made this tag with three challenges in mind, but I think that the biggest challenge for me is to just decorate a tag. I think I´ve never done tags before, well at least not like this one, as a project it self with all the emblishments thought just for it.
Anyway, I am in the mood of crafting this week, so I thought it was a good time to get into the current challnge at Paper Playtime which is to create a tag and include a sentiment on it... So, thanks to Janis and the DT for the inspiration, I have to addmit that it was a lot of fun!
To choose the theme for my tag I get inspired from the Cardz TV (It's June in January) and the Sundays with Crissy (Beat The Mid-Winter Blues)  challenges. Both challenges remind me of the cut I used from the Country Life cartridge which at the same time made me think in my little daughter who is my sunshine. The sentiment come from my new set of stamps (yes you are guessing correctly) from My Creative Time.


So there you go, that is the story behind my tag. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

Valentine's day bookmarks / Marcadores de libros de San Valentin

This week at Crafty Sprouts the challenge is to Case their DT, so you have to create a project inspired on a DT member project...

I saw the bookmarks DT Zeni made for her daughters (you can find them at her blog Scrappy Zeni or directly to the link here) and I just wanted to jump into them.

I made my version of Zeni's bookmarks by using my Classmates Valentines stamps from My Creative Time. Circles and Scalops were cut with the help of my ever loyal Storybook cartridge.

Super cute and super easy! Thanks Zeni for the inspiration.

I hope you like them!

My heart belongs to you

This is a simple card I made today thinking in Valentine's day although it is not made on the traditional Valentine's colors.
The cuts are from Give a Hoot cartridge and both the outside and the inside sentiments are from My Creative Time.
The squirrel background is white cardstock embosed and inked to match it with the card background paper from DCWV Nana's Kids.
The squirrel's eye is a PK Stamp.
 Hope you like it an if you do, leave me a comment... read comments make my day brighter!

Esta es una simple tarjeta que hice hoy pensando en el Día de San Valentín, a pesar de que no son los colores típicos de esa fecha.
Los cortes son del cartucho Give a Hoot y los textos tanto del exterior como del interior son de My Creative Time.
Espero que les guste, y si es así, dejenme un comentario... leer comentarios hace que mi día brille!

With a little caffeine...

There is nothing that makes me want to create cards than have something new in my statch. This is my second card today using my new My Creative Time stamps.
This card could be sent to my self, because caffeine is what I need to start my days, but I made this card with someone else in mind, who is the most caffeine addict person I know.
I hope she likes the card as much as I enjoyed making it.

The sketch of this card is from Paper Crafter's Libary and their challenge for this week:
Makeover Monday Challenge #10: Inspired by Jessica Witty.
I am also entering this card at Card Makin Mamas challenge (NEW) as my second entry for this challenge and into this week's challenge at Whimsical Designs: Anything goes.

Thanks for visiting!!!

I am in the yellow mood

Maybe it is because I've been working with yellow paper on the last days (see my previous post) or maybe because we are having some wonderful sunny days here, but the thing is that I am in the mood of make yellow cards. That is a good thing because I realize that I have several yellow papers that haven't been touched in months (I don't want to say years).
Anyhow this is a card was inspired on the challenge at My Sheri Crafts  which is to make a card/project with a clock represented.
I am also very exited because today I received my first group of stamps from My Creative Time and I just wanted to jump and make a card with them and this sentiment goes perfectly with the clock from the challenge.
I am so happy with my new stamp sets and with the quality of the product. Sure I will go for more soon!
Hope you like my card and thanks for visiting my blog.

Wedding invites

My youngest brother is getting married and I made these as the invites for his wedding.

My SIL wanted Yellow and black as their wedding colors and as both of them are biologist/ornithologist, they wanted birds a the motive of their invites. So I came up with this.

Hope you like them.

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #39 - Inspiration Photo

This week at Birthday Sundaes the challenge is to create a birthday card using the the picture given as inspiration. They are also requireing to add one visible element from the picture on the card, so we have to make a birthday card with a snowman on it.
This is a real challenge for me because we don't have snow here in Costa Rica and for me personally, snowmen are an exclusive image for Christmas. So I made my best effort and I designed a card in pink and green with snowflakes, snowman and a cupcake.
Hope you like it!

Esta semana el reto en Birthday Sundaes es crear una tarjeta de cumpleaños basandonos en una fotografía dada como inspiración. Ellos están pidiendo además usar un elemento visible de la fotografía, así que debemos crear una terjeta con un muñeco de nieve.
Este es un verdadero reto para mí porque no tenemos nieve aquí en Costa Rica y además personalmente la imagen de un muñeco de nieve siempre está relacionada con la Navidad. Así que hice mi mejor esfuerzo y diseñé esta tarjeta en rosado y verde, con copos de nieve, un muñeco de nieve y un pastelito.
Espero les guste!
