Hello friends! I hope your week is going well. I am so happy I finally got time to get inky :) It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here, but hopefully everything will be  calm again soon -I hope :). Anyhow, here are a couple of cards I created inspired by MFT Summer School, it has been so much fun sadly it has come to an end but I have learnt so much it is exhilarating :) I created this card with the concepts taught for lessons # 11: Repetition and #12: Symmetry/Asymmetry . I tend to gravitate towards symmetric designs gotta keep practicing asymmetric ones :) I used MFT Brushtroke Birthday and Totally Happy For my second card I used the concepts of Lesson #13: Hard vs. Soft . As learnt, the rounded corner as well as the flowers, clouds and sun help to soften all the hard lines on the fence and banner. I think ;) I used MFT's BB Sunflower Sweetheart and the Banner and sentiment are from MCT. And finally a card for Lessons on Color saturation...

Happy Thursday everyone!    I hope your day is going well. I am here today to share with you my take on Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Monthly challenge: Sea, Beach or Ocean plus a couple of extra projects ;) I just got the PCS's "Sea ya soon" Stamp set and could not resist to make an "Under the Sea" Memory Game, I decided to add an extra challenge for my kiddos by having the words in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Each card has the name of the Sea Creature in two different languages so they can practice and have fun :) I love how it came out!!! What do you think? In this picture you can see the little box I created using the Cricut Explore and the " Under the Sea"  file from  PPPR . Here is a close up of the cards. As of now there are only 6 sets but as soon as these words are mastered we will add a few more :) that is why I left extra space in the box :) I had such a fun time coloring these images I am thinking of creating...
