Let the Merry Bells keep ringing!

Good morning to all, today is a beautiful day. I thank God for being healthy, me and the ones I love and I pray for the ones that are not.   Today is the first day of December … so much joy to come!    Say hello to friends you know and  everyone you meet, it is wonderful how this time of year brings out the good in people. 

I made this little tag with much love in my heart while listening to a classic song called “Reencuentro en el Vortice” an instrumental song, I don’t know who plays it but it takes me to a heavenly place … and that’s life,  the simple little life…full of simple little things that make me happy.

Have a great Tuesday!

And thank you all so much for your sweet comments!

Good morning everyone!    I apologize for being lost the last few days, I’ve been VERY busy working on some invitations, but I am back and that’s all that matters :)  — Today I would like to welcome a sponsor, one of the most complete scrapbook/craft stores in the country, with the best prices and always bringing  the newest merchandise for your projects … I am talking about Papeleria Dume & Stationery.

Each week I’ll be posting a new and different project using the latest merchandise that has arrived at the store, so stay tuned because there will be good projects coming in … like this one.

They look really beautiful, don’t they?  Plus they where very easy to make and ready to be placed on a Christmas gift. I made them using the new collection from Basic Grey “nook&pantry” that is already available at Dume Papeleria & Stationery, as well as the small stamps from Hero Arts, ink, brads, ribbon, nestabilities and cardstock.

Thank you so much to all the girls that always take the time to visit my blog … have a great day! :)

Good day everyone!

I can’t believe it! It’s Friday already!! —Where are the days going by?  I really feel that everything is going out so fast … lastly, I barely have time to enjoy little things or to sit and just watch time goes by … I am flying with it! and I don’t like it, I am not like that!  But I guess that’s life and life is a gift.

These mini tags are great to put in your Christmas gifts, or you can make them as a gift for someone special, yes! because these “handmade things” can be only given to someone who really appreciates them!– or to someone you really love.

I am not too chatty today :),  but I hope you have enjoyed my small tags … they are very easy to make, try them out!

Have a good weekend!

Good Morning !

Today I bring you a cute card/tag that I love so much …  I am loving all the glitter , Christmas colors,  jingle bells, Santa stamps, snowflakes and all the lovely details for card making projects! –Believe me! I am having so much fun :)

For this Christmas tag I used one of Sizzix latest snowman dies … I bought it a few days ago and could not resist the temptation to create something really cute :)   –On this next picture you can enjoy the details…

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

So much to love this time of year … :)  Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a comment.

Good Monday girls! hope your weekend was really good and restful :)  … Mondays are super busy for me but before bury myself in supermarkets, orders from clients and all that, I want to share just a little something with soft colors I made last night, just after my little ones went straight to bed …

This Monday-November morning is cloudy, rainy and very cold,  have I told you that I love cloudy and rainy days? Yes! I do.   Specially when kids are home and we watch the cartoons together :)  — I know is not winter yet but it is cold outside …  and it feels like a lazy day!

I have to tell you that I was inspired by Peet Roeven when making this card, I just love the one she made and wanted to give it a try…:)

Well that is all for today I’ll have more cards soon,  have a great day and thanks for stop by today!

Happy Thursday everyone!  Yes, I am in Tag mood lately … I love making them, they are so easy to embellish and look so charming, plus they are the perfect touch for any gift!   Here’s my last creation …

I am sure most of you have  heard and seen Melissa Phillips‘ work, she is one of the ladies I admire the most when talking about paper crafting stuff.  She is the best!   But not only her work is amazing, I love reading her posts, she always has a story to tell … and that’s why I enjoy reading them, she always picks up the “right” words for every occasion, not to mention that she writes with her heart in her hand … following is something that she wrote and I want to share with you:

“Happy is the heart … that sings Christmas carols, laughs and smiles with her family, creates what her hands love, enjoys the sunshine on her back, and whose heart is ever so thankful for life :) I promise my life isn’t perfect….but I love to focus on the things each day that make it wonderful, special, happy, and unforgettable. I am truly thankful”

I really hope you are getting inspired with these tags I am making for all of you … Thanks for visiting me today and for all your comments!!

Good Tuesday everyone! Let’s welcome November … I’m in the mood for this Holly Jolly season—I just knew it would happen.  One of the many things I love about this time of year….the emphasis on being thankful. I’m already feeling it—the desire to be more grateful and appreciative for my family and my many blessings.    Here’s a small tag I made for one of my next classes …

I should be doing a few other things at the moment—but I’m indulging in some “me” time for about 10 minutes—set the timer, haha.   Okay, another closer view of this beautiful “Christmas Bear” tag  :)

Well….I can hear my time is up :) –Hope you’re all enjoying your Tuesday!

Yes!! we had the best Halloween party ever!! my kids were digging treasures and making magical potions … We had fun!  Following are the invitations I made and the basket they used to collect the candies …

I put the text on the back of the Frog tag,  and in the hand of the frog the name of the boy/girl invited.

Okay, here is a picture … Ethan loves pirates and Joshua, since he is not a baby anymore, tried the old magician man, we all had fun yesterday!  i couldn’t take more pictures because the batteries of my camera died.

Well, I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Sunday!

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 :)

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!!
