A Sweet Mom …

Good Friday everyone!

I know we are very far from Mother’s Day, but I’ve had this stamp for over 4 months now and had not had the chance to use it until last night.       Following  phrase is from Agatha Christie,  I love it to pieces and agree 100%  … “A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”

Don’t you think it is the sweetest thing ever! the baby ducks just lying and very close to their mom, that’ s the way we “mothers” always would like to have our children :)DSC08467

I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.   I love you mom! this card is for you … :)

Have a great day!!

Santa Claus is coming to Town!

Hello Girls hope you all are doing great!   What I’m about to say it’s something that happened to me last night and I wrote it before the magic was gone … “I just got home and I could say that for the first time I enjoyed the heavy traffic in the city.  My eyes were delighted with Christmas Trees in so many places.   The people in the streets were so kind and definitely there was something in the air … with no doubt it was the Spirit of Christmas! –This is what inspired me to make this card:

This image from Santa is my newest stamp from Inkadinkado and I love it, I just got it in my mail yesterday and could not resist to create something really special … something that goes direct to the heart and makes us happy :)DSC08389

Enjoy this closer view and appreciate the details… isn’t he precious?  I fell in love with him :)

Have a GREAT Wednesday!!

Elmo Invitation …

Hi everyone!

This will be a short post, because my dear ones are waiting for me in the kitchen, you know …  Sunday breakfast with the family!  –I hope you like this Elmo invitation I made a few weeks ago for a client.  I find Elmo so sweet for the first year of our little boys.   Here it is ….

I’m off to go … have a great Sunday!

Give Thanks …

Good morning y’all !

Today is a good day to give thanks for everything we have, for our children, our parents, our siblings, nephews and nieces  -I have tons of them :) –our good friends … and because we are healthy!

I only have a minute today, but I want to show you a small basket I made last night,  it’s very easy to make and it’s great for any occasion, you can decorate it as you wish and put anything inside.DSC08318

I had in mind to put some candies I recently bought (for Halloween Day) inside my basket –But guess what?  I found two little pumpkins eating them :) haha– Oh my God! you had to see those little faces when I surprised them eating all of them!!  I definitely thought those are moments money can’t buy :)DSC08324

I hope theses Autumn colors bring you to life and inspire you to create.    Almost forgot, If you are interested in a tutorial of how I made this basket just leave a comment.

Enjoy your day and be happy! :)

A Christmas bag for my Christmas gifts …

DSC08253

Hey y’all!

How’s everything doing so far? Are you already making your list for Christmas gifts?  I already started mine :)  –and today I want to show something really cute DSC08257

When I first saw this great tote, I thought to myself that this will have great “Christmas-Bag-Gift” potential.   You can find them at PTI, this is one of the latest designs of Lauren Meader.    It’s called Around Town Tote and it comes with a Pretty PetiteDSC08272DSC08276 version.

I made my own little gift tag using one of my favorite stamps for the season.  Well, I guess this is it for me today, hope you are enjoying your weekend!

I am sure any mom-to-be will love this card to announce the birth of her baby!

Well, not much to say today,  just that i am finally home,  that it’s raining and it feels GOOD to be at home!!   Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far.

You are invited to a “Baby” Halloween Party! and Cuttlebug Challenge #54

“Get dressed like a little Monster and come with me to enjoy our “Baby Halloween Party”!  –This is the text Gaby chose to  put it in the back of this cutie invitation for the little ones of the house.   She is hosting a party for mommys and babies  under 2 years old of the neighborhood.   I can’t believe it’s October already! Time flies much too fast.  I love this time of year when we get to pick pumpkins.DSC08164DSC08162

Aren’t they adorable? Fun for any Halloween party!  For those of you wondering how I made this invitation, I used my Cricut machine,  Paper Dolls cartridge.DSC08187

I hope is it beautiful where you are today, remember to give thanks for everything and be grateful!    Thanks so much for visiting me today!

Baby Shower Invitation

Good Morning all!

I’ve been feeling in Pink mode lately, so I decided to make this beautiful set for a baby girl-shower.   My boys have been asking me over and over when God is going to send them a “little sister” :) –Ha! that really makes me laugh because I’ve been asking Him the same question … :)DSC08101

A sweet and gentle color combination I happen to love right now…soothing and warm.   I really think it would be a pleasure to invite your guests to the baby shower with this darling invitation that comes with the box, perfect to put a souvenir or something you want them to keep forever. DSC08117DSC08119

I really hope you liked what I brought you today and thank you all so much for your kind words.  I  really appreciate each minute you spend here and sharing your thoughts with me.  Catch you later and have a great day!!

Feeling a little Christmasy!

Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone!

I picked up some fun Christmas paper at my local craft store, and am feeling in the spirit of things already!   The fresh air around here  definitely gets me in the mood to get out my Christmas decorations and music and start spreading the cheer around the house! :) …  and more than anything gets me in the mood of making Christmas cards, so I just wanted to pop in and share a little card I made last night using my new stamps from Inkadinkado, they are gorgeous!DSC07920

I added glitter to some snowflakes and  Santa image. Here’s a closer view to appreciate details.DSC07924

Well, I have been busy making Christmas cards and it just tortures me to have to hold my work back…I love to share something right when I make it! But unfortunately I can’t share these cards until the first of December.  But do not feel sad, there’s more to come tomorrow, so stay tuned and thanks for visiting me,  have a great day!
