Hello friends! Another week just flew by! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was busy but fun.Today I want to share my card for the inspiration photo challenge over at IBSC Today I decided to play with a few techniques, first I made a 5" Swivel card, and "faux" letter press the front panel. I tried to add a vintage look using distress inks on the Ivory mat, so the simple embossing image will be more noticeable. And finally I added a stick pin, the idea came from the Terrific Tuesday Challenge : anything on a stic, over at Scrappy moms. I was lucky that the focal piece I selected for my stick pin had a blue Swarovsky crystal so I used all of the colors in the picture, even though we were not required to use blue ;). I selected pearls because the recipient's Birthday is in June, plus it gives it a soft and delicate touch, don't you think? Well this is it for now, I hope you join the challenge they close collection in about 22 hrs or so ;) Also li...

Hello friends! I hope your day is going well. As promised, here is my second basket cut with the Ecraft, different size and color so you know I am not recycling them, ;) For this one,  I made some strawberries with a template shared here   This is my third and final entry for the Crafter's companion March Challenge , again using the Strawberry Kisses YUM set, this time I created a Strawberry Planter Tag, just something nice to look at while waiting 'till the strawberries grow-I think :)...-, it is laminated so no worries about getting it wet ;) when watering the seeds. For the Strawberry plant tag, I used the "YUM" sentiment and hearts that come with the stamp set as a "background for the cute dog. On the back of the card since there won't be anything in the pot but soil ;) I printed "Berry sweet things are on the way"  If you are wondering: why the basket and the paper strawberries? Well, this planter tag is...

Hello friends! Here I am on a rainy day posting a late St. Patrick's day card. If you wonder why, here is the reason behind: today I ran into the DL Art: March challenge ,that for some reason escape my radar LOL!  After reading Diana's mini history post she gave me the extra reason to put it together. Specially after reading this sentence "'...Why is the Shamrock the National Flower of Ireland ?' The reason is that St. Patrick used it to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagans..." interesting uh? Also, I was trying to come up with another project to enter the March, crafter's companion challenge , - How would I love to get those cool markers ;) .. Since I did not use the hearts and the sentiment included with the Strawberry kisses set I received courtesy of Stacy , I new I had to use them, that is how this card was born, no rocket science involved ;) my fave kind of card! So here it is... This is a 4" square easel card, the word "Lucky...

Hello friends!  I hope your day is going well, today I decided to make a 3D project for the challenge at PKS, I totally went blank with the colors....Then, today I remember a friend's b-day is tomorrow and then it just hit me....a tisket a tasket get your E-craft out and make a basket! -I thought ;)LOL My inspiration for this one came not just from the colors for the challenge, I have seen - and probably you have too- several blogs showcasing baskets, mainly with Strawberries, gotta say, I got mine too, but is for another post ;), So here it is, I hope you like it... These are my supplies, of course my papers were 12"x12" except for the glitter one. I also used 6" of narrow ribbon, my quick dry glue and a Fiskars punch for the cuts on the handle. After working some magic ;) with my E-craft, LOL,  ;) I got my basket cut and my 3D peach. For the card/tag, I cut a freebie SVG peach  @ 4" I...
