75th Birthday Banner

This is my Mom's 75th Birthday Banner.  Her birthday was earlier this month, but she was living it up in Lake Tahoe, then got busy when she got back.  Next time I'll schedule an appointment.  I have several photos and will have links to the several SVG files by Designs on Cloud 9 and the stamps by Latina Crafter.

Sneak Peek {Latina Crafter}

I've been playing with Latina Crafter's new August stamps!  Above is a sneak peek of two of the stamp sets.   It's a 12x12 layout that I haven't created in awhile.  I loaded this page up!  Wood veneers, buttons, brads, flair, sequins, doilies.....and I went ahead and forgot the ribbon! Geez! LOL!  That's all I'm allowed to show you.  I will share the full page as soon as I get the green light.

I'm also getting ready for Autumn.  We don't have much of fall crisp weather in So. California, but I try my best to bring into my home.  I case my local Joann's for the scented pinecones.  They got them in yesterday! Yay!  Manager chuckled and said I was the first one to buy one. LOL!  It may be too soon for some, but not for me.  My home smells delicious!  Bring on the apple pie!
 Here's a snippet of a table I'm prepping for the Holidays.  I'm changing up the wall and I'll be sharing that soon.  I have exactly 2 months to get my home in shape for company.  Yikes!!

Using up scraps

While making Dulce's Quince invitations, I saved the scraps because I planned to use them on the thank you cards and used them I did!  The shimmer blue paper and the cardbase are not from scraps, but everything else is! So proud of myself!

Here's a photo of the thank you cards....83 cards to be exact.

I scrap lifted the design from Michelle's card here. I'm a huge fan of her work!
I used Latina Crafter's "Label 1" die and coordinating stamp set, the thank you sentiment from Oh La La, twine and doilies from the LC shop.  All photos below are linked.

The most difficult part was punching the border, ouch my hand is a bit sore.   The embossing is Anna Griffin's "Rosa" design...gorgeous!  Here are all the pretties!  I delivered yesterday, my sister and Dulce loved them!

Here is couple of photos of my Sweet Dulce on her special day.

Pure Sweetness

Time sure creeps up on you!  I didn't realize it has been over a week since my last post and it's August 1st!!
New month, new sketch challenge at Latina Crafter.  Today I'm sharing a page of DeliBee and her Dad.  I just love her dimples and love this photo of her!!  LOL!  I used Mi vida cambió con tu llegada for the side sentiment and Un día en la vida grid stamp for a little background stamping.   This is also project #5 using Heartstring Designs' Sn@p Housecalls Kit. I still have enough to create two more layouts for sure!  I used the ribbon included in the kit to create a couple of rosettes and created my own embossing border using Latina Crafter's Polaroid die.


 Here's a close up of the embossed Polaroid border:
