Hello again: My thoughts and prayers go out to the affected by the midwestern storms and tornados this morning.

Today's posts is a quick one for this week'sPeachy Keen Challenge , and hoping my blogger issues are resolved ;) Since my brain could not think of anything 3D,I resorted to the always trusty Swing Card,for a tutorial I found a while ago on Youtube go here .

Good  morning! Well as promised, I am here share with you projects I have made prior my apperance here in the bloggosphere. This was actually my first project using the Cricut and the Disney-Pixar Cars cart. Since we got a few fans of Lighting Mc Queen and Tow Mater in the family, it is no surprise that we have had a few high speed themed parties along recent years :) which has brought a challenge not to be repetitive! I am hoping there is a cart realease for the Cars 2 characters soon... well lets' get to business:  Recipe: Card box, a small movers box from the hardware store will do 2 empty cereal boxes Craft glue, slightly diluted, you could use some diluted Modpodge too if you want or you could go old school and make your own "engrudo" -if you don't know what that is, is a home made glue used by artisans on piñata crafting- Black poster paper White cardstock or white acrylic paint and brush Red cardstock, preferably 12 x12 so you don't...

Third post in one day!! I am on a roll, LOL! This post is for another PK challenge. This challenge is hosted by Lorie.   For this challenge you can make anything you choose, be it card, layout, or whatever you like, but add her two favorite things to your project, which are... RIBBON AND ANY KIND OF BLING .   Well isn't it funny how sometimes you start with one thing in mind and end up doing something completely different? Well today I started with the idea of a B-day card and ended up doing some Easter home decor !!! This is my take on this challenge, I hope you like it! I started with the following, plus my glue gun, two scraps of pattern paper, and ink pad: First I stamped the bunny in two different papers and cut it out to mix and match. Added the bow and the "bling" using a brad, colored in the stripes of the egg and glued it to the canvas.  Then stamped the sentiment directly on the stretched canvas.  Tip: on the b...

Hello again! My second post for today is for the PKS challenge hosted by Cristina Garcia at The PK Connection : use at least to different pattern papers, here is my take on it: This treat holder was made out with the Image 10 (Tag 5) from the fundamentals SD card that comes with the ecraft. I enlarged it using the Ecraftshop Pro software so it will be 10" long and 2  1/4" wide after ripping a few pices of paper arghhh! user error I gues ;) this is how it comes out: I scored it at 1  1/2" from each one of the straight sides then at 2  1/2 from the previous scored line on both ends and folded. Embelished it with the bunny form PKS 265 Bunnie dolls and the "big easter bunny hugs" sentiment from the same set. Since the challenge was to use at least two patterned papers I stamped this cuttie on two different papers and paper pieced it mixing colors, this was the hardest part of it, oh no wait, it was to stop eating the goddies that were supp...

Hi  there! I hope you had a great weekend, I have been sneaking in an out the craft room to put together a few projects for challenges going on this wknd plus fighting with the cutter and the camera, haha, I guess they don't like me much, hehe...This is the project I made for the MSS neighborhood celebration This box has become my favorite for jewerly gifts because it is green and easy to put toghether. For a picturial on this box check this post. Upcycled tissue box Today I added the little chicken Angelica Suarez @ Market Street Stamps shared with us this weekend, isn't it the cuttest? Since my coloring skills aren't the best I went for paper piecing, I printed the chicken on three different patterned papers and then cut and mix them up.  I also added the chick's eye white dot with gel pen. The tag is from the fundamentals 1 sd card that comes with the ecraft ( I was fighting with it today, ha ha, new user still lots to learn!) The "It is a chick thing...
