Hi peeps!

The Design Team over at Christmas Card Challenges have made cards using a sketch this week (Week # 19).





My Copics have taken a vacation all week! I used Basic Grey for the DPs and Jolee's for the stickers.

Remember that our only real rule is to make a NEW Holiday or Winter-themed card! Please visit the CCC blog for more details. Head on over for more inspiration as well!

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Third Baby Card.

Hello peeps!

A quick card today for the third triplet on this post.

Used up a bunch of my stash of vintage basic grey (2007, LOL!). The buttons are from American Crafts.

Sorry this is super short again. And that I haven't been commenting on your blogs. Have been super busy with family visiting from all over the country. Things should be slowing down after Easter. And I have a vacation coming up at the end of the month that I'm very excited about and ready for! :)

Toodles!

Happy National Physician's Day!



It's National Doctor's Day, and for my colleagues at work, I was in charge of putting together a little pot-luck for them. In addition, I made them goodie bags full of healthy snacks and hand-sanitizers. I topped them off with these decorated tags!

The tags were from Michael's, the DPs were from Basic Grey, and the stickers were from Jolee's.

Hope they like them! :)

Happy Friday! It's my weekend off!

For Christmas Card Challenges Week 17, the Design Team have a color combo for ya to play with:









Very unconventional Christmas colors, don't you think? I had a hard time! But eventually, I came up with this:

What??!, you ask! There are no Design Papers at all! LOL!

My favorite part, of course, is the Magnolia stamp. Just please ignore how she's dressed when she's outside in the snow, he he! What can I say, I'm a true Californian at heart?

Hope you get to play along! Remember that the only true rule is to have a new Holiday or winter-themed card! See the CCC blog for more details and inspiration please!

XOXO,

Triplets.

Hola folks!

I don't know about you, but I am in major need of a vacay!

Things are a bit hectic here at the Mercado house - it's getting warmer and nicer outside so we are spending some time playing in the back yard.

I'm working on a new goal at work, and it's going to take up a lot of my time.

I've been coloring up some images, but have a harder time making the cards. I've been finding lots of inspiration on your blogs, but have been procrastinating on the things I really need to finish.

For example, a good friend of mine had triplets a year ago. I couldn't go their birthday(s), but had gotten them gifts. The birthday and party have gone and passed but I still haven't given their presents...only because I hadn't made their cards. *sighs*

I had a bit of time today so I thought I could rush by making three similar cards. I used Baby Jackson from Lori Designs, and even left the baby uncolored. Used CardPatterns Sketch # 157 -- I liked how it had lots of layers. Found some 'vintage' Basic Grey DP from 2007 and was glad to use up some stash. Not quite happy with the finaly results but what can you do? :)

And if you're asking why there's only two instead of three, well, the kiddies woke up before I could make the third one. And before I knew it, it was dark and time for dinner. *sighs* (again).

The third triplet is a boy so I'll be posting about his card soon (i hope!). Have a great weekend! It's my weekend to work (boo!). :)

Luv,
