Shadow Box

2014-12-04T16:19:00.000-08:00

One of my friends just gave birth to a beautiful girl.
She named her Isabella.

I made this shadow box for Isabella's nursery, I hope she likes it.

I used a butterfly chipboard die cut, laced burlap, ribbon, paint, pearls and rhinestones.

Ladies

2014-11-23T21:47:00.004-08:00

I recently organized my craft room and oh surprise! I found stuff that I didn't even know I had.
One thing I remember is, me buying my first graphic45 paper pad. This paper pad has some interesting designs on each page, I've been wanting to create some kind of a "mixed media" wall art, so I decided to use some of the prints on this paper pad.
At first, I honestly did not have an idea of what to create, my idea came out once I found the prints of these two ladies so I started gathering flowers from my stash, some gadget gear and other materials and I here is how they look like now.

This is the paper pad I own:

Trick or Treat?

2014-10-27T12:47:00.000-07:00

We had a Halloween event this past Saturday so knowing that I can take advantage of any occasion to create something, I decided to decorate some brown bags I had in my cabinet to use as Trick or Treat bags.

I used ribbon, colored cardstock and trick or treat die cuts from Sizzix.

Well, After years of not logging in at all, yesterday, I decided to check out what you guys where up to.
So I after checking some of you guys' blogs I decided to look at mine, and oh surprise! All of the photos on my posts (except 4 or 5) where blank, gone!
I know now that I am not the only with this problem. I feel so sad about this, and the worst thing is that I don't know why it happened.
I will have to start all over again, so here it is, my first "2 years of not taking care of my blog so now all of my photos are gone and it hurts" post.
This is a shadow box I did for my friend Sonia's daughter.

I bought some canvases at Michael's the other day and came out with this.
I wanted to decorate my daughter's room by using these canvases. I went ahead and I cut some butterflies, hearts and made some pinwheels. I arranged them on the canvas and that was it, they are so simple yet colorfull, they sure bring light to my princess' room.

Christmas Cards

2011-12-02T12:17:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I just finished setting up the Christmas Tree and decorating the stair rail, I feel like taking a nap right now!

I wanted to post these cards yesterday but didn't have time to do it.

As every year I like to make my Christmas Cards and this year was not exception. I made 6 different designs and I really love them all, they were so simple and fast to make, of course I wanted to create something different.

You will see I used the same shape almost of all of the cards. That shape comes from the "Winter Collection Christmas Cards" Cricut cartridge I purchased last year.

I hope you find some inspiration over here

Name Initial Wreath and party goody bags

2011-08-16T10:21:00.000-07:00

My daughter's birthday party was last month, she turned 2 yrs old, I wanted to make something else other then a banner to place above the party table. I decided to create a Name Initial Wreath.
Materials needed:
-Foam Wreath
-Crepe paper
-Paper doilies
-Glue gun
-Flowers and embellishments

I used a roll of crepe paper I had bough at Toys R Us long time ago to cover the entire foam wreath, once I was finished wrapping the wreath around and making sure no green was shown I cut the doilies in half and wrapped them around the ring once again, half by half until having the wreath all covered.
Then I placed a piece of white cardstock as a background for my DD Name Initial, then I arranged all the embellishments on the side, I used ribbon, flowers and a butterfly since the party theme was butterflies.

End Result

These are the easy-fast to make goody bags I made for my daughter's b-day party.

So simple to create, I used my cricut expression machine to cut the butterflies and the white circled ring. I made butterfly goody bags for the girls and pin wheels goody bags for the boys.
