Welcome " Weiman Wranglers" !!!

Good Morning everyone!! See this beautiful card here?

I am so happy to let everybody know that Pink Cat Studio just released a digital stamp set in honor of Ethan Weiman, the name of the set is “Weiman Wrangles“. If you read my blog on a daily basis you already know the story, if not click here and you will know what I am talking about. Here’s how it looks like:


Here is the story of how the gorgeous digi-stamps came in :
Melissa Rodger from Pink Cat Studio was approached by Lauren Meader, our team leader for “My Time to Create Challenges”, to design a set in honor of Ethan. Melissa eagerly accepted the request, and got to work on some WONDERFUL images. TODAY, these images are available to YOU, and ALL proceeds from these images will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois, in honor of Ethan, per request of the family. For only $6 you can purchase both “Weiman Wrangles and the sentiments” and have instant access to your images so you can start creating right away!!
“My Time” design team member Tracey Cuccia, has created a very informative tutorial on how to use digital stamps.
I SO hope you make something really AMAZING with the digi-images, if so, don’t forget to leave a comment with a link to your card, and if looking for more inspiration check out some samples in the links below:

Thank you to everyone who has helped with this process. I’ll catch next time with more projects using these amazing digi-stamps.

Baby Carriage Tutorial

Okay girls, as promised, here is the tutorial of the Baby Carriage card. It’s my first tutorial so I will try to make it as clear as I can … and please be nice when commenting :)
Step #1 :

First, take a piece of 11 x 8 1/2 cardstock and fold it over like you would a regular card. Make a die cut with Sizzix die, or you can also use your largest nestability. Please don’t cut the complete circle. We want a small flat spot on the edge of the circle so that your card will stay attached and you will be able to open it.

Step #2 :

Okay, now let’s cut the patterned paper that will be at the top of the cardstock. For this I used largest nestability circle die. After cutting the circle, emboss it.
Step #3:

Place the previously cut patterned paper on top of the cardstock and glue it. Then draw a triangle on your piece of circle patterned paper and cut it out using the straight edge scissors.

Step #4:

Cut out 4 cardstock circles using your 1 inches circle punch.

Now, cut out a tag using your punch on a piece of cardstock. I cut mine using some paper scraps that were left over when cutting out my card base.
We will also need ribbon and buttons.

Step #5:

Center your buttons and adhere them to the small circle with glue dot. Now, add adhesive to the four wheels, we need the four wheels so that you can stand your card up, and add it to the body of the carriage. Then put glue dot to the embroider and adhere it. Make a bow and put it in the center. Finally, write a sentiment to the tag and put it at the end.
And here is my finished baby carriage card.

I would LOVE to see your cards. If you make one, please post a comment so I can check it out!

My Time Template Challenge

Hi Girls Hope you are having a great day. Today is Saturday!! This means another My Time to Create Challenge!!
This week we are using one of Lauren’s templates as part of our challenge. I used one of her newest templates, called “Pack a Picnic” which was just released this week. Here is my take:


I love this template so much because it’s very practical and LARGE!! you can put anything on it. Also the instructions are very easy to follow. You can find this template and others here at a very reachable amount :)
The next pic was taken with daylight :) that’s why it looks different.

We were supposed to make our own patterned paper to use on a template but I didn’t have enough time to do so, so I apologize for that. If you want to participate just click here and upload your project. And do not forget to take a look at rest of the DT projects, they are amazing!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, have a great day! :)

A post for Little Cowboy Ethan

Hi everyone!! I know I have been lost for over a week now!! I’ve been pretty busy working on many things (no details for now). Do you remember this post ?

This adorable little boy is Ethan Weiman.
I feel really sad as I write this post. I could say a lot of things, but I decided not to say a word, it’s very painful. If you want to know the whole story please read here.

I Want to Know What Love is …

Since I was a child I’ve been listening to this “awesome” song, one of my favorites. My older brother used to listen to it all the time. Love the lyrics and this live performance it’s just the best, here it is … Foreigner and Lou Gramm.
Enjoy it …
