Happy Birthday... (to me!)

Hello!
Today is my birthday and to celebrate I made a birthday card (but it´s not for me, hahaha...)... Anyways, I had a wonderful day, with family and friends around. I thank God for one more year of life and joy with Him.

I love "Hippo Birthday", a Pholkart Blessings digistamp by Patti Moore. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a green mat.

I used Folia dp, two different birthday inspired Folia papers. I also used red and green cardstock. I used red ribbon to complete the sketch and I think my card is ready!

I hope you like my card...

Digi Makeover Challenge #55 - Anything goes

Hello!!!
Today, we have a new challenge at Digi Makeover, and this is a favorite one: ANYTHING GOES!!!!!!! The only thing we would like you to do is to use a digi stamp, that easy!
Today we have a guest designer, please, visit Donna here.

This is the card I made for this week's challenge:

I used "Moody for rock" and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. And the sentiment is from Create with TLC, I think is very appropriate for my friend, who is awesome :).

I used dp The garden - Rosie's Studio, I also used some blue (or turquoise) cardstock and used Floral Fantasy folder for embossing and cut it with my sizzix and an oval sizzix die cut. Maybe it´s a little different than most of the cards around, as most challenges are auttumn and fall, but I come from Argentina where spring is just starting and as I told you few days ago, I am not ready for cold weather, hahaha.... I love spring weather!!! As embellishments I used some sparkling blings in blue (or turquoise) and a bigger orange one, I used yellow, orange and turquoise ribbon.

Hope you like my card and hope you join us this week in our challenge here.

Digi Makeover challenge #54 - Welcome Auttumn

Hello to everybody! And welcome Auttumn!!!

I want to show you this card (with tag inside) I made for this week's challenge at Digi Makeover blog "Welcome Auttumn"... and today we have a guest designer: Tina Keller

I really don´t know if I am ready for Auttumn yet, although the trees and the streets here are already dressed in yellows, browns, reds and little bits of green, the temperature dropped more than 15 degrees during the last two weeks and this morning we woke up with only 8°C... definitively, auttumn is here!!!!!!!!

For my card I used Twisty tree and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils.

And for the tag I used the definition of Auttumn from Albert Camus.

I used brown cardstock and dp from Folia called Herbst 04.

I also used cream color ribbon and made a bow and I used some ceramic leaves charms as embellishments.

Now is your turn to welcome the new season and play with us at Digi Makeover challenge.

Wedding bears

Good morning!

Today I want to show you a new card I just made. Remember a few ago I made another wedding card for a friend who is getting married?... OK, now another friend asked me to make a card for her for this common friend and this time, the card needs a gift pocket (for the blessings of the wedding, hahaha....)

I used this sweet Pollycraft image and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I placed on a pink mat. (I colored the groom suit in grey and don´t know why it looks sky blue)

I used pink cardstocks, new Folia dp (I bought it a week ago and I am happy to use it for this card...).

As embellishments I used a hearty ribbon, a couple of paper roses and a couple of pink pearls.

This is the inside with the gift pocket:

I hope you like my card!

Digi Makeover challenge # 53 - Monster Mash

Hello!
This week, our challenge at Digi Makeover is MONSTER MASH!!!!!! And we would like to welcome  Emily as our newest Digi Makeup Artist!

 Today I don´t have a card to show you... I made a cookie can! I am preparing some gifts for Christmas, and this is for a friends who loves cookies, so I thougth that a cookie can (full of cookies) could be a great gift for him and he can keep the can to refill it and keep it at his office...

I used Cookie man and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils, then I distressed the borders with an orange ink pad and placed it on a green mat.

I used an empty can and wraped it with dp from Oriental Trading (Spring Fling). Then, I only place the cute stamped image. As this is for a man and he will most probably take it to the office, I kept it very simple.

Now is your turn to join us and bring your monsters to your work table :)
