Long lost post

Hi friends.

I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. Believe me...I've been plenty busy crafting and creating.

Most recently, I've been working on my niece's Quinceanera. For Hispanics, the Quinceanera celebration is a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood. It's a beautiful and meaningful ceremony.

Elizabeth is a sweet young woman and she planned her party around Beauty & the Beast. I'll post pics of the invitation later, but these are the table markers. I used spellbinders to make it look like a mirror. The flowers are stamping up.

I'll post more this week.

More birthday cards

In keeping with the birthday theme, I'd like to share Damaris' s second card. This one also has a little notebook to go with it. I sure hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it. Traci Cornelius was my inspiration for this card.  Although I don't own the Elegant Butterfly...I used the mini one.  Please click to view her Video Tutorial

Birthday banner

My eldest sister is having a birthday soon. I made her two cards. The first is using stamping up ' Banner Blast stamp set. I used a tutorial from Christina Thomas to create it. 

 The paper is baked brown sugar. The inks are: baked brown sugar, crisp cantaloupe, coastal cabana and pistachio pudding.

Cassie's Frozen party

My daughter turns ten this week. She wanted a Frozen - themed party, so I got to work. I created a few cute things for our guests at the ice arena.

The mood was set by lovely invites created by my friend Zeni.

I created these snowman kits and these cute goody bags for the older kids. Each one has a Hershey bar wrapped in a Frozen themed wrapper, gumballs, and chips ahoy. These are strictly for the teens. I used Lovebug Creations winter grunge on this little bag. Super cute.

Superheroes

Hi friends.

It's been a while since I posted. I will share my journey later. Right now I want to share the favor boxes I made for my son's birthday this weekend. He chose a super heroes theme. The venue does not allow outside decorations, which is a bummer, but I decided to incorporate the theme into our party favors.

I visited Lisa at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon and found these adorable super heroes.  She is amazing.  Please visit her at Pretty Paper Website. 

Because I am new to silhouette, I was not able to cut them as efficiently as I wanted, so I opted for the digital image instead. I used the curly label from My Creative Time. Inside, each child will find animal crackers.

Hope you enjoy your day.

Gift Card Holder

Hi Everyone!

It's Monday and another day for me to post a project using the amazing Lovebug Creations.  Today I used Kisses from the Simply Sheer collection on this cute gift card holder that I made for my sister in law. She is a special lady!

The paper base is Stampin Up.  The DSP is also Stampin Up. I used the Embossed Gift Card Holder die from My Creative Time.  I printed her name on the computer and cut it out using the oval punch.  I had the slider in my embellishment stash and knew she would love it.

Happy Monday!!

Happy birthday to Allison

Hi friends!

 Yesterday was my friend, Allison's, birthday.  She's a beautiful young woman who we always joke was switched at birth.  We are so much alike it's scary.  Well, I decided to make her a gift card holder for her Marshall's gift card.  There is no one more stylish than she is.  She truly is beautiful inside and out.

I used the beautiful I Love Grunge rumple ribbon from Lovebug Creations to decorate the front of this gift card holder.  It blended perfectly!
The cupcake is from Jaded Blossom and the paper is Recollections.
The base is Stampin Up Melon Mambo
