I took the picture in two different backgrounds and I like both of them,

but I couldn’t decide which one to use, that’s why you see both of them here :)
You pick yours :), and thanks for stopping by to say hi!

Nesting boxes — Perfect for a gift!

Good morning Wednesday! … hope you are all enjoying your day. Yesterday I cleaned but I mean really cleaned all my craft area and it felt so wonderful after a few days of being under very tight space. Now I am feeling the happy sense of slipping back into my happy and CLEAN craft space :)
The other day while browsing I went to the Cutting Cafe blog, and when I got saw this 3 Nesting Boxes set, I knew I had to have it. Too cute! Totally great for putting a gift.

These Nesting boxes fit perfectly inside one another (without the lid of the inner boxes). They also look great stacking on top of one another (as shown here).


Anyhow, enjoy my project for today and thanks for visiting!

A Pretty Petal Pocket for a baby girl gift …

Are you ready for some fun? As I told you before, I fell in love with the Pretty Petal Pocket template from Lauren. A few days ago one of my cousins gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Laura, she is such a cute baby!! I bought her a pair of shoes, so tiny shoes :) but wait! THIS box was part of the gift.


Isn’t it the cutest box for a gift? She liked it so much …

Hope you liked it too.
Thank you so much for stop by ;) have a great day!!

Mini Album of Love

Good Monday everyone!!
Yesterday one of my best friends called me because her boyfriend is leaving the country for a few months and she wants him to have a mini album with photos of some of their best moments. All papers here are from Bo Bunny (those were the cutest I had) … this is what I came up with, she loved it!!

These are some of the inside pages …






Here I used my What a Hoot new stamp set from Hero Arts.

And this is the mini book or album I made, hope you like it!
Have a great day and thanks for always commenting!! :)

Un post en Español …

Hola! muy buenas tardes a todas las personas que siguen mi blog, especialmente a aquellas que hablan y entienden el español, mi idioma nativo. Decidí hacer este post, no sé por qué en español, para contarles que hace un rato llegué de una de las tiendas de scrapbook más completas y siempre al último grito de la moda en cuanto a papeles, embelishments, etc. se refiere, les hablo de Memorias de Papel (y eso que no les detallo el excelente servicio al cliente que tienen -aqui no hay publicidad por si acaso eh). Alli me encontré con par de gentes que tenia tiempo no veía. Pues nos sentamos a hablar de muchas cosas, sí, porque aparte de uno comprar, a veces nos sentamos y comentamos de los trabajos, de la vida, de los hijos, etc. y aunque no se lo crean la pasa uno de lo mejor. Porque algo que tiene este hobbie es que inmediatemente encuentras a alguien que haga lo mismo que tu, ya se hacen panas de por vida, y eso me gusta mucho.
Bueno, pues eso era lo que les quería decir, espero que la pasen bien en su fin de semana. Y para que no se vayan en blanco, las dejo con unas fotos que tomé a algunos de los elementos que van a ser parte de unas invitaciones de baby shower que estoy haciendo.


Espero que las disfruten y les sirvan de inspiración.

My Timeless Template Challenge

Hello Saturday … Yep! my template love fest continues here with a new and completely irresistible template designed by Lauren Meader for Papertrey Ink. Today our challenge was to use one of Lauren’s templates and use the colors in this image,

Yeah! kind of challenge within a challenge!!
So here are some pictures of my project for today:

Let me tell you that I love all of Lauren’s templates, they are so easy to make and look very elegant and clean. You can use them for any special gift or just for putting things! they look beautiful anyway. Plus they are inexpensive!!

I fell in love with this particular one, I’ll make more projects using this template.

My Time to Create Inspiration Challenge

Happy Challenge everyone!! –Yeah! today is Saturday …
These are the pretty colors that inspired me to make my project.

My sneak peek photo (which I had no chance to send :(

I had SO much fun making this card, for the fact that I love buttons –I have tons of them :) and they make me happy– and using them here was just fantastic.

Would you like to play along with us? then be sure to upload your creation to the challenge post on Lauren’s blog. I love seeing what you all do each week! and if looking for more inspiration just take a look at what the rest of the design team did:
