Digital LO

2011-08-04T14:08:00.003-04:00

Another Digital LO, it seems to me that the only time I can do any scrapping is if it is digi, this was a freebie too from Digital Paper Press, they too if you subscribe to their newsletter, you get freebies once in a while. Here is the link to their website
Digital Paper Press
I had to scrap these pictures, they are from my DD 13th birthday....!!! Such a cool and important age!!
Thanks for stopping by!

digi lo

2011-03-16T09:10:00.004-04:00

Sometimes you have a picture which you want to do a lo with and don't know where to start. I downloaded this free digi kit from Persnikety Prints (if you are on Facebook, and 'like' them, you get freebies once in a while.) I was actually able to link to their website (click here)

click here

It is a very simple and 'elegant' layout, I wanted to make it so the picture could pop out, I think I achieve that effect!

Thanks for visiting!

Another digital layout using persnickety prints, used one of their freebies, and made this one for my dd....

Very easy to make, took me around 30 minutes to decide colors and pictures to use!

Enjoy!

Digital Scrabook

2011-02-18T21:46:00.006-05:00

A while back I had discovered digital scrapbooking,as well as digital stamps....I think i have fallen in love! I found this kit called 'all retro' on the link in the tittle of this post, just click there, it will take you directly to their page....they have absolutely beautiful kits.

This layout was made with a freebie from persnicketyprints, they even do printing...not bad price either...I think I may give them a try! Their freebies are absolutely beautiful!

I loved these, although I am not a big fan of 'retro' this picture though....was very 'retro' looking...

My younger dd posing for me, with a hat I just made for her, we went out for lunch one very cold early January day....I took this shot with my phone! I love how it turned out, the photo, the hat and the layout...She is absolutely gorgeous...not because she is my daughter...but she really is!

This layout as well as another 2 I made this morning, (i will post those later!) took me no longer than a few minutes....I think I will convert to digi...now more than ever I need to get more of the stuff I have in my craft room out! I love the fact that digi does not really take that much space, I guess it will when you print them out and place them in an album!

Hope you like it!

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

I know I have been a really bad blogger, it seems to be I disappeared from the face of the earth....I really was talking a break from everything....

This really were/still are hectic in my life...but hey it is life right?

My daughters surgery went very well, she is actually doing great, my son got married back in March, summer consumed me and my life driving my other daughter every where she needed to be!

We did get to go on a little vacation to PA, visited a few places, went to NYC for a couple of hours one day, drove to Niagara Falls for 2 days, and came back!!!

Now this post is not about crafty stuff either, it is something I need to ask to whoever visits me, it is a great cause, it is something that really touches my heart and I am sure most crafters heart too...we are that kind of people who give and give and give...until we start giving more....

I will post an email I got from a friend of mine, who works with these kids....it is very sad to see them get sicker and sicker and know there is no cure/hope for them....she got an email from this family who needs help with their son, not monetary help, but prayers and cards....I am sure we all have/or could have a card made in a few minutes for this child.

Please read.....and thanks!!!

This is the website for AT if anyone is interested in reading more about it......if not, can you please find it in your heart to send Ryan a card to lift his spirits.

A-T Children's Project

Thanks everyone,

This is the email my friend send me....

Please read the following email. I know this family... Please spread the word to your friends to send cards to Ryan. He has A-T and is one of the few who have lived so long.

Hello All,

I have some sad news. Our AT son, Ryan (age 34), was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

He developed jaundice, diarrhea, itchy skin, and abdominal swelling in July and spent four days in the hospital having tests. The results were presumptive for pancreatic cancer. He went to the University of CA, Irvine Medical Center in August to have an endoscopic biopsy in August, to confirm the diagnosis. The doctor was able to see the tumor, which is at the head of the pancreas and was pushing on the common bile duct, leading to the jaundice and swelling of the liver. During the procedure the doctor put in a stent, which has relieved the jaundice somewhat and has dramatically improved the itchy skin and diarrhea.

The procedure did, however, precipitate some pancreatitis, which caused great pain for Ryan for the past 3 or 4 weeks. At this time he is doing better painwise, as the pancreatitis has settled down. The treatment for this type of pancreatic cancer is a very tricky sugery called The Whipple Procedure. The recovery is extremely difficult, and the fact of the matter is is that it only adds a number of months to the patient's life. Those added months are not without pain and discomfort. So, Ryan and his dad and I have elected to not treat.

I have a request. Would you all please, please, please send a card to us here at home? I have asked all our family and friends to send cards, which I have begun to string up in his room, so that he can see how many folks are thinking of him. I would like to just flood his room with cards. I have attached a picture, showing the cards we have recieved so far. We have room for many, many more!

Our address is:

Mother in law birthday

2010-02-19T06:00:00.000-05:00

I visit different blogs and try to do it every week, this image I got from Becky Oehlers, she is another wonderful artist, click here to go to her blog, she has an amazing talent, plus now her own line of images...WOW!

I used her image, some of my stash paper, and ribbon, the sentiment I printed on my computer. I printed 2 copies of the image, one of them I cut out, to make the clouds, sun, balloon pop on dimensional's. Even my dd thought it was adorable!

Thanks for visiting!

sister in law birthday

2010-02-18T06:00:00.000-05:00

For my sister in law, I wanted something simple, but kind of elegant, I think I achieved it with a little bit of work.

Stamp is from TAC, the sentiment is too, ribbon is from SU!, paper from PTI.

Thanks for stopping by!

Granma's birthday

2010-02-13T06:00:00.001-05:00

I asked my DD to make a card for her Granma for her Birthday....the only thing I got out of her was the coloring...she wanted 'gothic' colors....
The image I got from Nina's blog, in my eyes, she is a very talented woman...she posts images every Monday, she also has an online store, pay a visit to her, it is well worth your time.

The sentiment is computer generated, it says Happy Birthday Granma, I wanted the bear to look like it was holding the message in her hands. The ribbon, and paper are from my stash....which I am trying to make smaller every day...:)

Thanks for visiting!

For a dear friends birthday

2010-02-12T06:00:00.001-05:00

Trying to keep myself busy stamping...this one I made for a dear friend of mine, which I missed her birthday...I thought the best thing I could do is send her a card saying 'sorry I missed your birthday'.....

I used TAC stamps, water colored it, PTI paper, I layerd the image on a piece of scrap I had, ribbon is from SU!, the sentiment is computer generated...

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stoping by!

2010-02-11T06:00:00.001-05:00

This one is a Silhouette design too....I made this for a friend of my dd...She will probably fill it out, to give to her friend. I used the Silhouette to cut the whole book, used the same K & Company 'Smitten' collection, I used TAC This Girl set, and a Studio G $1.00 stamp from my LSS.

I thought it was small, but cute, my dd loved it! Hope her friend likes it too!

Enjoy!

Hubby's Valentines

2010-02-10T06:00:00.002-05:00

We don't celebrate Valentines day like most people, who go out to dinner, and such....We decided that instead of spending time/money on such a day, we rather go out any other day....

Still, I like to have a card for my Hubby....I got this digital image from Sassy Studio Designs I think they have great variety of images.....I really loved them all, but I had to get only one this time. I am trying to spend less and use what I have, I need to cut expenses....not because we are lacking...I just feel I have to....So this is a better way of spending some cash for me!

The sentiment is from Ali Edwards. She is a wonderful artist, she has a beautiful line of sentiments, I got these a while back....I looked thru what I had to get something appropiate for this card...

The paper I used is from K & Company "Smitten" collection...beautiful papers!

Hope you like this one!

Little Valentines Gift Box

2010-02-08T06:00:00.002-05:00

Another Silhouette created gift....I am getting a lot out of this machine! I used one of their designs, when you get the machine, you can download designs from their online store, this is one of many!

Used the same K & Company 'Smitten' paper collection, in the heart opening I used a transparency piece I had in my stash, cut the design, folded, taped and done! It could not be easier than that, I will put some chocolates in it, a ribbon and a little tag 'to & from'. This too is for my dd friend! (she is a lucky girl!)

Thanks for visiting,

Enjoy!

silhouette vinyl

2010-02-07T06:00:00.004-05:00

I 'hate' these covers, every time I buy them someone in the family burns them...I thought of painting them...but I did not want to go thru the trouble...I know in time they will burn again...

I decided to 'cover' some of it, or make them a little different, they don't look so bad....I got a design that I had from Silhouette and decided to try to see how it looked. I used the 'negative' on 2 of the covers, and the 'positive' on the other 2.

I know it still looks burned...but your eyes get a little more distraction from the 'burn' because there is something else there to look at. This 'design' I can use if it gets burned again, like a stencil and then I could spray paint over it....We will see how long these last!

Enjoy!

Valentines for my baby girl...mini album

2010-02-06T16:44:00.007-05:00

Well once again, here is a mini album, I love it! It was made from recycling envelopes (the ones you get in the mail, and you don't know what to do with...but dump in the garbage...) The fun part is when you use them, you create a small pocket where you can add a tag for more pictures or more memories to be kept!

I have been following Jana click here
she has soooo many great ideas....this is where I got this idea from, go check her out!

Making mini albums, is a good way of using a lot of your scraps, and create some sort of memory....I love the fact that you can re-use materials instead of filling out more of our landfills....

I made this thinking about my 11 y/o daughter, who is growing on me....in a couple of years she will be an adult (like my other 2) and the only thing we will have are our memories....I am planning to put some loving messages on it for her, and some of my favorite pictures of her when she was younger...planning to give it to her for Valentines....since she does not have a Valentines yet!

Enjoy....!

Aniversary/Valentines

2010-01-21T20:50:00.003-05:00

Sorry I have been MIA, between the Holidays, Ballet commitments, buying a brand new vehicle, getting into an accident not even a week after... to top it off getting the worst cold I have gotten in years....I think I needed to take a break....I still feel I have not had one in months....but here we are in the New Year, New Decade...time to smile, look forward, charge ahead, with a new perspective towards everything, and a smile in your face....

In between all this, I had some time to make something for our wedding anniversary/ Valentines (one is too close to the other to do other wise...)

So here I am sharing. The funny thing is I used very few 'new things' since most of it has been in my craft room for years, I used a lot of 'recycled stuff' some of this paper is from boxes I got at Christmas and tissue paper from some presents too. I used my silhouette for the die cuts, the bind it all to bind the book...and voila!

Enjoy!!

2009-12-14T20:19:00.001-05:00

I love Tinkerbell, so when I saw this stamp at my LSS I had to have it....I made this Christmas card with it, really I had no intention.... I was 'just making a card.' I don't know who the recipient of this one is....I had no one in mind....

Just wanted to share it with you guys!

Enjoy!

Gift for baby~Baby Album

2009-12-09T12:28:00.006-05:00

This mini album I made for my aunt, who just had her 1st grandbaby....she is all excited, I wanted to make something cute for her grandson....I am hoping she likes it, she can add more pictures, or sentiments, or whatever she wants....to make it more 'personalized'....

I am liking this mini album making thing....they are cute, fast, easy to make, you can make them for any occasion, or holiday. Love it!

Friend birthdayday card

2009-12-08T10:30:00.002-05:00

This card I made for a dear friend who's birthday was a few days ago...hopefully she has received it already.

I had bought this 'Edward' stamp (yes I am a fan of the Twilight series) and have used it for other ocassions, since I know she is a fan too, I decided to use this stamp for her card. I used my prismacolor pencils to color.

I used my cuttlebug to emboss the Happy Birthday wishes on this card, the rest was sitting on my desk, just waiting to be used....:)

Hope you like it, thanks for visiting!

Christmas Card

2009-12-06T10:28:00.001-05:00

Some of my Christmas cards this year were a family picture (to those very close to our family) some got the 'pretty' ones I made....

This is a sample of some of the ones I made, I used TAC products for this one, and a Martha Stewart punch.

It was something I had thought about in my head, usually it does not happen this way, but it turned out 'just as I envisioned it'!

Thanks for visiting,

Enjoy!

baby card

2009-12-04T22:44:00.002-05:00

My aunt has just had her first grandbaby....for the ocassion I made her this card....I was not sure if it was a boy or a girl, that is why I ended up using green and yellow.

I used a template Lauren Meader has in her blog Link
go check her blog out, she has beautiful creations!

Dancing makes me happy

2009-12-01T09:39:00.000-05:00

More of the pics I have to scrap....this was a dress I made a skirt for.....tulle, tulle, and more tulle....don't want to remember how much tulle I had in my sewing area...and how much I gathered before putting it all together....

My dd who loves to dance, decided we should take pictures before turning in the dress .....

This is what happens when she puts on her point shoes and a beautiful tutu....

Enjoy!

2009-09-02T17:31:00.002-04:00

Hope you like it.

sad sad day

2009-08-25T09:11:00.006-04:00

I know this is my 'art blog', some things I need to take off my chest....our beloved pup (16 years old) has taken a turn for the worst...we are taking her in today to go to doggie heaven....my heart is broken...I feel numb...I know I will feel better as time goes....I know....still hard to deal with....all of us in my family are very, very sad....

Hope to be able to share something soon...

Using my silhouette

2009-08-18T09:35:00.002-04:00

Here is a layout I made using my new silhouette die cutter. I am so glad I can do things like that, and not have to buy any more 'stickers'....or whatever to decorate the pages I am making, and spending all that money....

This is my daughter on her wedding day at the courthouse....she looked so happy....although she is and will always be my baby!!!

Enjoy!

more layouts...

2009-08-12T10:06:00.004-04:00

Another layout, using more of our Spring pictures...I wish I had more time to scrap....had been busy, with company and just summer in general...hopefully things will start winding down...then I can find some more time to scrap!

Enjoy!!!

another one

2009-08-02T16:49:00.005-04:00

The pile is becoming smaller (this years only!) as soon as I am done with this years pictures... I will start with my older pictures....

Having 3 boxes full of 28 years in pictures is very overwhelming....Some day.....hopefully...at least they are all organized by year...so it might not be as bad...

Enjoy

another page

2009-07-29T11:03:00.005-04:00

It is good to see this years pictures go down on the pile they are....meaning I am almost done...(I should just stop taking pictures...!) just with this years pictures....I have another 30 years of pictures to do....:( (Oh BOY!!)

I am convinced that if I work at it, little at a time, I will be done (someday...)

So here is another one,

Enjoy!

another layout

2009-07-23T06:00:00.005-04:00

More picture pages...

I like to see browse and see what other people ideas on layouts is,....in the end when I make a page, I make it how I feel like it....I just play around with the pictures until I see something I like, how it feels good, those are my types of layouts...

Hope you like it!

Sorry I have been missing, I have been trying to catch up with my pictures....I have soooo many it is scary...so I decided to start working on them, and stop thinking about what to do....here is one of them.

My daughter likes to take pictures of herself....here is proof....this is the only thing I could come up with having so many to put into one page....I think it looks beautiful...I used some scraps I had lying around (which is good,...the pile is finally going down....!) I used my silhouette....(still trying to figure it out...) This is the result!

Hope you like it, thanks for visiting!

I found this website Stampin Out Alzheimers
website thru Lauren Meader's blog Click here

They are holding this 'special event'! Please join,if you can, donate if you can,all the proceeds go directly to Alzheimers research.

I am directly affected by this disease, my mother has dementia...she does not recognize me anymore, she is being 'taken' away every day, every minute...she can't help it....Neither can I, just research to find a cure, or treatment, we would be able to wipe it!!!

Whatever you can give it would make a world of difference, please help!

Mother's Day Cards

2009-05-04T14:55:00.004-04:00

Wow I had forgotten Mother's Day is next Sunday....I took a break from sewing today....had to make the cards to mail...here is one of them.

I used:
SOTM from TAC for April
Scraps I had on my table
Tombow markers from TAC
Versa Magic Tear drops

I had to make 15 of them, so I changed the layout on them, to make them look different...cause I get bored doing the same over and over...so...they are the same thing, with different layouts! On the bottom one, I used a punch for the border.

Hope you like them, I am almost done with all the sewing (show is in 2 weeks...) Then back to my craft table!!!

Enjoy!

gerbera daisy

2009-04-24T09:03:00.003-04:00

Sorry I have been missing, I have been sewing costumes for dd ballet performance...again....almost done though....

I had made this card a few weeks ago to send out when I just needed something to write a note on....

The base card was one I tried the 'bandana technique' on although I liked how it looked I just left some of it to see.....That is how I felt that day....sometimes how cards turn out depends on the mood I am in when I make them.

I used:
Gerbera daisy TAC stamp
White Glossy CS
Different color inks
Hydra Sponges
Black Embossing Powder
Ribbon from my stash

Thanks for visiting, hopefully I will be done with all the sewing soon, and will be able to sit at my table to create again!

Enjoy!

Impress Dual Markers (brights) TAC
Versa Magic Dew Drops TAC
Ribbon from my stash

Stamping on a Layout

2009-04-07T14:18:00.005-04:00

On this l/o I used some of the new free download TAC has on it's website you can go here to download it.

I used the one with the swirls onthe corner because I thought it was the most appropriate one forthis layout.

Some of the 'elements' that I used I already owned....

The 'brown' paper I used under the picture is from TAC Mimi Collection, so is the 'label' I put under the picture, the corners I used on it as well.

This is a good way of showing how you can use some of TAC's stamping products, on a layout for a picture album.

If you have any questions or need help with any of your srapbooking/stamping projects please let me know.

Enjoy!

Percy

I measured the scalloped circle punch to see if it would fit,.....I used some craps from the Mimi Collection, one of TAC's GWP stamps....voila!

This is what I came up with....she loved it....(of course it had chocolate inside, ....I am sure that is why she loved it soooo much!!!)

My daughter called me the other day to ask me if she could come to make a card for a friend who was having a bday...I told her by the time she came over I would have one done....

This is what I came up with, it really was a 15-20 minute card!

I colored the image with water color pencils, cut it out, used the nestabilities to make the 'frame', mounted it on pop dots, stamped the sentiment, sponged some ink around the frame, also on the card edges.

Used:
Fall Harvest TAC stamp set
Nestabilities
Ink: pallette hybrid violet

Enjoy!

Percy

2009-02-20T21:05:00.005-05:00

I made this one thinking about doing something different...after Valentines I was tired ....to many cards to make....this one was simple enough....

I used a tutorial by a fellow angel Vicky. She really is an inspiration...go visit her blog you will not be dissapointed!

I used: White CS, ribbon from Target $1.00 spot, Pumpkin Spice dew drop (TAC), TAC stamp Heart Belongs (retired), brilliance dew drop Rocket Red Gold (TAC).

I used the dew drop to make the backround on the card, used Vicky's tutorial for the ribbon weaving, then stamped sentiment with another dew drop (brilliance).

Hubby's Valentines Day!

2009-01-23T09:37:00.011-05:00

I found this card layout on this blog, Eunice was nice enough to send me a link to the instructions, this card is a little tedious, but I think the result is beautiful.

I am giving this one to my husband for Valentines Day!! I really hope he likes it; we don't usually spend money on gifts, going out, or in flowers....it is all soooooo expensive for the specific day, for us it is not worth it ....we might go out for dinner a week after or so....

This picture we took just a few days ago, when we had snow, one of the very few we have of us in snow.....I hope he likes it....

Enjoy!

Percy

I used Valentines paper I had from a couple of years ago (I cleaned and organized my stamping are the other night, realized that I have soooo much paper....I really need to stop buying, start using.....!!! CB heart folder, CB concentric hearts, most of the materials, I had from previous projects!

For someone

2009-01-21T20:47:00.003-05:00

I made this card for someone, don't know who....I feel I will have a need for it sometime, the card will be ready then!

I tried to make the one my friend Diana
had on her blog with this particular layout...well mine did not work, 'cause I messed it up! Plus, I was not using the same set, plus, I had to turn the card, this is what ended up being....I think it looks pretty cute!

I used Mimi collection from TAC, Always Remember TAC stamp set.

Hope you like it!

Percy

This is what we got today!

2009-01-20T13:49:00.004-05:00

Today we were supposed to get some snow....this is what we got....yeah school was out ......(in the county, and ours,...we homeschool!)

I know some people in other parts of the country really have had it bad, still now have it bad. This winter has been brutal, for us...we needed some snow....so finally we got it.

Like my dd said this morning, "Mom, this is better than Christmas!!!"

I will go out to try to enjoy some of it...being from the Caribbean I really don't mind staying inside, but children are small only for so long...when my blood warms up, she will be too old to play!

Enjoy,

Percy

Christmas Cards

Another one of my Christmas creations! Very simple card, using the cb snowflakes embossing folder, nestabilities for the oval shape, TAC set Little Penguins (which I love!!!) Enjoy!!!

Christmas Cards

2008-12-15T13:38:00.001-05:00

These are part of my Christmas Cards for this year, they are very easy to make!
I used TAC set Just Dreamy, and TAC paper Mimi Collection.

Thanks for visiting!

What I have been doing....

2008-12-11T20:20:00.006-05:00

I have been working on these, actually 15 of these, then baking cookies and buying chocolates to put in them ...they had to be done by tomorrow night. They are very easy to make, just the cutting takes a little time. I bought this template from Lauren Meader, she is the designer, a really great
one! Here is a link to where you can get them.


Link

I used TAC white cs, which I love because it is pretty thick for this kind of use. I cut the template for the bootie, put it through my cuttlebug with the snowflakes folder to give it some texture. Used some paper I had in my stash, same with the ribbon (I have a huge collection,...need to use it, but keep buying more....)

Thanks for visiting!

Percy

He estado trabajando en estas botitas, realmente han sido 15 de ellas,
ademas de cocinar galletitas, y comprando chocolates para hacer
los regalitos....todas tenian que estar terminadas para mañana
por la noche. Son bien sencillas de hacer, solo el cortarlas toma 
un poco de tiempo.  Compre este 'patron' de Lauren Meader,
ella es la diseñadora, muy talentosa! Arriba les icluyo un link
en donde se pueden conseguir el patron.

Use cs de TAC en blanco, que me encanta para este projecto
pues tiene la densidad del papel es perfecta para este uso.
Corte el patron de la bota, lo pase por el cuttlebug con el folder de
snowflakes para darle textura. Use papel que tenia en mi coleccion,
lo mismo con la cinta. Tengo una coleccion bien grande de cinta y
de papel, (los cuales necesito usar,  pero sigo comprando....)

Gracias por la visita,

Percy

This card I made for a friend, I used TAC spanish sentiments set, and just dreamy. Used cb snow folder, and spellbinders circles. I finished this card in a few minutes, not hard to make at all, I think that although it is very simple it is beautiful! Enjoy.

My older daughter turned 23 years this past week! Wow!!! I feel old!!! She moved out a few years back, I miss her so, she is such a wonderful and beautiful young woman.... Ok enough mushy stuff....

I made her this card, mailed it to her for her bday. I used this set which is the 1st one I bought from TAC over a year ago....(one of my favorites!) it is called Precious Girl, it is retired... Colored it with watercolor pencils, used the happy bd cuttlebug folder for the backround paper, which I bought at a local store sometime back. I cut the circles with nestabilities, ribbon is from my stash, everything is mounted on TAC cs.

Hope you like it!
Percy

Mi hija mayor cumplio 23 esta semana! Wow!!! Me siento vieja!!! Ella se mudo de la casa hace un tiempo, le extrano mucho, es una persona maravillosa y bella....Ok suficiente de esto....

Le hice esta tarjeta, para su cumpleanos y se la envie por correo. Use el set que fue el primero que compre de TAC hace un tiempo atras...(uno de mis favoritos! se llama Precious Girsl, y esta retirado...Lo coloree con lapices, use el folder de cuttlebug de happy birthday, para el papel de la base use un papel que compre en una tienda local hace un tiempo atras. Corte los circulos con nestabilities, la cinta es de mi coleccion, todo esta montado en cs de TAC.

Espero te guste!!

sorry for being MIA

2008-11-22T16:57:00.003-05:00

I had to take a break from my duties, I have been trying to do too much!!! Hopefully with the Holidays so close I won't get burned out!

Here is a Christmas card I made, I have been trying to make them all, but, some of them will just be a family picture, in a store bought picture card! (yeah I am embarrassed!!!)

On this one, I used TAC Snowmen Nativity set, colored with water colors and markers, used stickles for the 'snow'. The piece of scored cs is really water color, I used watercolor pencils, and a brush with water to get that watercolor look. The sentiment comes from a set I have from previous years! Ribbon is from my collection!

Enjoy!

Tenia que cojerme un descanso de mis responsabilidades, he estado tratando de hacer demasiado a la vez!!! Espero que con los dias festivos que vienen ya pronto no me 'queme'!

Esta es una tarjeta de Navidad que hice, he tratado de hacer todas las que necesito, pero, algunas van a ser una foto de la familia en una tarjeta que compre para poner fotos!

Para esta, use el set de TAC Snowmen Nativity, coloree con lapices de colorear, y marcadores, use stickles para la 'nieve'. La pieza de cs que esta detras es realmente papel de colorear (watercolor paper) y use lapices y una brocha con agua, para tener ese efecto. El sentimiento viene de un set que compre años atras! La cinta es de mi coleccion!

Que la disfruten!

Percy

2008-09-19T09:54:00.002-04:00

I will be out for a few days, won't be posting....taking a well deserved :) cruise vacation...now that there are no hurricanes in the horizon, although I would not mind a detour to Puerto Rico....

Will be back at the end of next week, then going with my hubby on a business trip he has!!! So I will try and rest, and come back with new ideas....and of course pictures to scrapbook.

See you all soon,

Percy

Sorry I have been MIA

2008-09-12T21:04:00.010-04:00

Sorry I have been MIA, I have been swamped with tons of sewing for
my daughters' ballet studio...they needed some skirts, I was asked to do them....I had like 16 skirts to cut, and put ribbons on....anyways...back to stamping...

I got this GWP from TAC...I love it because it is a very versatile one, you can use it for anything (I think!) Used pallette inks, Sands of Time collection. I used Nestabilities for the rectangles.

I got my inspiration from my friend Diana, here is a link to her blog...she is a great inspiration to me, and a lot more people....!!! Go check her out!

   Dianas' blog


Hope you like my card, thanks for visiting....

Percy

Perdonen que estaba desaparecida, he estado super ocupada con alguna
costura que tenia que hacer para el estudio de ballet donde mi hija menor
toma sus lecciones...necesitaban algunas faldas, me pidieron
que las hiciera....tenia 16 faldas que cortar y ponerle cintas.....
de vuelta a mi stamping...

Recibi este GWP de TAC...me encanta pues me parece que es muy versatil,
lo puedes usar para cualquier cosa (me parece!) Use las tintas de Pallette,
la coleccion de papel de Sands of Time. Use nestabilities para los rectangulos.

Encontre mi inspiracion de mi amiga Diana, arriba hay un enlace a su blog,
es una gran inspiracion para mi, y para mucha otra gente...!!! Ve y chequea
su blog!!

Espero te guste mi tarjeta, gracias por la visita....

love this set!!!

2008-08-21T17:18:00.005-04:00

I love this set, I just got it today, could not wait to use it...OMG it is sooooo cool!!! I decided to make a 'new' card with it, this is what I came up with. The set is from TAC called Just Dreamy, it is no longer available, there is another one just the same except it is bigger in our Fall/Winter 2008 catalog called Just Dream.

The technique is done with a brayer on a glossy card stock, I wanted to experiment using a photo paper (I think it turned out pretty cool....)

Stamped with Versamark before doing the brayer with a TAC set called Small Sentiments, then brayered it with Auttumn Leaves Kaleidacolor pad.

Used a flower from my stash, mounted the angel and sentiment on dimensionals, here is the result!!!

Enjoy,

Percy

Me encanta este set, lo acabo de recibir hoy, no podia esperar a usarlo....Decidi hacer una tarjeta 'nueva' con el, y esto fue lo que se me ocurrio!!!

El set es de TAC se llama Just Dreamy, ya no esta disponible, hay otro en el catalogo Fall/Winter 2008, que es igual, excepto que es mas grande este se llama Just Dream.

La tecnica es hecha con un brayer en un CS glossy (con brillo), queria experimentar usando papel de foto, (creo que se ve muy bien....)

Use Versamark antes de usar el brayer con un set de TAC Small Sentiments, entonces use el brayer con un Kaleidacolor pad Auttumn Leaves.

La flor es de mi coleccion, monte el angel y el sentimiento con dimensionales, aqui esta el resultado!!!

Que lo disfruten!

I made these

2008-07-23T16:23:00.006-04:00

This is what I have been up to, I had these cushions I was going to give away, I had some muslin, and thought I would try and see how they look.

I used palette inks from TAC in raw sienna, belle rose, lanscape, noir black, and some staz on in blue and red. I used the following sets from TAC His Angels, Small Sentimentsl, andFlowers and Holly.

I think I am going to go thru some others and see how good they look when I am done...I might be able to recycle them!

Enjoy!

Percy

Esto es lo que he estado haciendo, tenia estos cojines que iba a regalar, tenia una tela de forro, y pense que deberia de tratar y ver como se verian antes de salir de ellos.

Use la tinta de Palette inks de TAC en raw sienna, belle rose, lanscape, noir black, y alguna de Stazon en azul y rojo. Use los siguentes sets de TAC, His Angels, Small Sentiments, y Flowers and Holly.

Creo que voy a tratar de ver si 'arreglo' otros y ver si quedan bien....quizas pueda reciclarlos!!!

Que los disfruten,

Percy

I used TAC Sands of Time paper, and a set I got from TAC (don't know the name...sorry) for the flowers. The sentiment is from a TAC set called It's the Little Things. I did the watercolor technique on the flowers, and the ribbon is from my never ending stash!

Enjoy,

Percy

This little bag my daughter made for a friends bday....Sometimes we have arguments because I don't like what she makes, and I have to remind myself that it is ok....all 'artists' do different things...and I have to respect that!!! When she was finally done, I had to agree she did pretty good....:)
Have a great day!

Percy

Esta bolsita la hizo my hija para el cumpleaños de una amiga....A veces discutimos pues no me gusta lo que hace, y tengo que recordarme que esta bien,.....todos los 'artistas' hacemos las cosas distintas....y tengo que respetar eso!!!! Cuando finalmente habia terminado, tuve que aceptar que le quedo bastante bien :)

Que pasen un bonito dia!

Percy

I have been sewing again (another one of my passions...) but I discovered I can do both, I can stamp on fabric and sew!!! I had seen the instructions for this a while back and printed them, for one of those days projects!!! Today was the day....

I used TAC stamp Flowers and Holly, Pallete inks Raw Sienna, Belle Rose, Landscape, I used Stazon in Blue and Red as well. The ribbon I had in my huge stash of ribbons...(using them little by little!!!)

The instructions are here:

These are very easy to follow! I used my TAC stamps
and got a pretty good result!

Enjoy!

This card I made for a birthday party my dd was invited, she did not like it because it was too 'delicate' for her friend...for me it was very cute...

I used TAC Twinkletoes set, watercolor paper, colored it with markers, I cut the backround paper with Nestabilities in my Cuttlebug, the backround paper and ribbon is from my stash.

I kinda love that set...it is a very cute one to use in many ways!!! Hope you like it!!!!

Enjoy,

Percy

Esta tarjeta la hice para una fiesta de cumpleaños a la que mi dd iba a ir, a ella no le gusto, ya que era muy 'delicada' para su amiga....para mi era muy linda....

Use el set de TAC Twinkletoes, papel de watercolor, lo coloree con marcadores, corte el papel de watercolor y el que use para montarlo con mis Nestabilities en mi maquina de Cuttlebug, el papel que use de fondo y la cinta es de mi coleccion.

Me encanta este set de TAC, es muy lindo, me parece que se puede usar de distintas formas para distintas ocasiones. Espero les guste!!!
