All things grow with love

I created the card for online friend using the stamp set I won at Latina Crafter, Mi flor favorita (My Favorite Flower).
Lots of fuzzy cutting but I loved how the flowers turned out! The pink paper is Echo Park, also from my winnings, and My Mind's Eye.



Challenges:
Just Some Lines, Color Inspiration

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!

This is the card I made for my Mother-in-law. The image is from Paper Makeup Stamps, Brandt (I love you in sign language).
I punched the background paper lace using Purple Cows Autumn Punch It.  Stamped the butterflies from Making Memories Flutter stamp set.  I additionally, stamped the edges with Purple Cows Roll It heart stamp.  You have to look closely to see the hearts on the edges....super cute!
The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life's, FancyLabel4You stamp set.  The twine is Grape Fizz by Trendy Twine.

Bloom with Happiness

I used a "new to me" Stampin Up set, Blooming with Happiness (2006).  I colored the dress with Bic Mark Its and used Spellbinders Die #S4-291.  If you look closely, you can see I added faux pearls using Viva's Pearl Pen.  I stamped the background pink paper with my dollar stamps by Scrappy Cat....love my dollar stamps! LOL

I was inspired to use my Lawn Fawn Petite stack from Missy's card.  I also got to use MME Happier collection, both purchased at Ginger Snap Scraps.  Corri always has fantastic deals!

Happy Mother's Day {Freebie}

This is the card I created for my Mom.  I mug of all her "quirky" kids.....can you guess which one is me?   The stamp is retired Halloween stamp by Simply Betty Stamps.

Ok let's start with the left to right, bottom row:  The guy wearing the green shirt is my brother Robert, young at heart and spoiled rotten.  The middle holding the pink rose, my sister Letty, always with her hair brushed back and always wears lipstick.  Casanova holding the red rose is my brother Alfonso; right behind him is my "cutsy" sister Lucy.  In the middle is the oldest and serious sister Consuelo.  Ok so did you guess right?  The one with all the hair, wearing purple is me....thinking, "get me outta here. I don't belong with these crazies!!" LOL!!  I'm sure my Mom will know exactly who is who.


You can download the Spanish sentiment by clicking on the image below:




The new version of the stamp can be found here.

I'm entering Kathy's Waffle Sketch Challenge, here's the sketch we were asked to follow:

Live today....

....remember it tomorrow!


I've been tiding up my room and found the image stamp in my stash.  This is the first time I've used both stamps....oops!  I purchased the image stamp at Big Lots for a couple of bucks, but there is no marking by the manufacturer.  The sentiment is a dollar stamp by Studio G.  The pattern paper by Recollections 6x6 Holiday stack.


I'm entering my card to Skipping Stones Sketch 127.  Here's the sketch, I followed:
