Jesus.

Hello, hello, hello! How's it going?

It's time for another Milk Coffee Challenge, and these next two weeks, it's all about embossing (wet or dry).

Being a mommy of two and a full time registered nurse, I tend to go for the quick projects. I chose dry embossing, of course! I found this 'vintage' Love Elsie paper circa 2006 0r 07. I highlighted it with some metallic rub-ons.

I decided to use this religious image of Jesus (he was a free digi at MC a while back) because it is so close to Easter. I hardly talk about it here, but being Catholic is a big part of my life.

Just added some simple flower stickers and voila! I think it's a wonderful Easter card. Thank you, Lord, for all of my blessings!



I hope you all have a great day and visit the rest of the DT's projects! Remember that you've got two weeks to play along!

Love,

Starry Ornaments.

Hello blogland!

It's time for another Christmas Card Challenge, and this week (# 21), the goal is to include an ornament in your creation!

But remember that the challenge is optional, and that your card just has to be a Holiday or winter-themed card.

I decided to use an older stamp that I have. I am not quite sure of the brand, but I thought it would be refreshing to use a different type of image. Plus, I was due to make a religious Christmas card. :)

Added these star embellies and drew some strings to mimic the star in the image.

Hope you all get to find more inspiration on the CCC blog! I can't believe it's nearing the end of April already! The Holidays will be here before ya know it! Why not get the Christmas cards done, peeps? LOL



Talk to ya later!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

*Gosh, Darn! I didn't get to check my blog until now so I didn't discover that my pre-scheduled post did not get published! So sorry, folks. My fam and I went to three parties and an amusement park and had a really busy weekend. Anyway, here it is. Sorry so late!*




Happy Sunday, folks!

My CatShy felt flowers giveaway is now closed! Stay tuned for the winner. I will announce her or him on Tuesday or Thursday!

Anyway, today at Christmas Card Challenges, we are to make a card based on faith.

Thought I'd use these stamps for a l'il manger scene. I forgot what brand they are from but I think they are just so adorable! Such a merry time for Jesus' birthday :).

The challenge is always optional though. Just make sure it is a new Holiday or Winter card! Hope you get to play along!

Have a great day!

Christmas Card Challenge - Coloring.

Wow, can you all believe we are at the end of January already??

I sure can't. Wasn't it just Christmas yesterday? LOL!

Speaking of Christmas, I know it just passed! But it's never too early to start making those Holiday cards! What better way to get motivated and inspired than to join us weekly?

It's Week 8 over at the Christmas Card Challenges blog, and this week's challenge is:



Color with copics, colored pencils, even crayons!

Stamping an image and coloring it with my Copics is my usual card-making style. The trick was finding a stamp that was different and new for me, one that would take a lot of time to color. I finally got some nativity-themed ones, and this Sweet Nativity (Penny Black) one is from 123 Stitch.



I just love this image. They look so wholesome and cozy, and their facial expressions are right on. Love the curious animals all around. Super cute, right? :)

Hope you play along! See the CCC blog for the rules and more inspiration!

Tata!

Celebrate Good Times, c'mon!

Happy Saturday, everyone!!! Today is a great day.. it feels like mid-70's outside as the sun is fully out!

I will start my birthday celebrations tonight. Most of my besties and I will be going to Joya, a trendy restaurant that serves Spanish dishes.

I picked the restaurant but I must admit... I'm pretty nervous about getting all dolled up. Being a new mom, I haven't really had the time to put myself together for a special occasion. But I know how important that is so I picked this place to sort of 'force' myself.

I don't have a new outfit but I do have a new bib necklace for my ladies' night. Am truly excited to have fun and chop it up with my ladies! I'll be sure to take some pictures to share with you!

Anyway, today's card is for my niece's Communion celebration. It is a blessed time for Catholics. I don't own any religious stamps so I customized one of my Alice in Wonderland stamps from Sweet Pea. The children are dressed in all white during this special mass. And I've colored her hair black. This card is also for the Copics Creations Challenge # 26 -- coloring black hair.

The PP are from October Afternoon and Scenic Route. I've also used more of my Taylored Expressions March Key Ingredients kit (butterflies, ribbon).

Have a great weekend!
