A year in review...

noreply@blogger.com (Mabel) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:42:00 +0000

Usually I'm not a new year "project" people, really love thinking step by step what is my next goal, but love reviews, what a better way to start a new year that revisiting the old?

For me this is my year in review... goodbye 2011... hello 2012 <3

January a fresh start and one of my favorite digital pages ever... was my header a lot of time and always love the blue and the pink on it, thanks TLP and my sweet friend Gina Miller for give me those fabulous goodies to play with them ;)

February and just thinking in summer... and other page picked for the Gallery Standouts (I'm so proud for all my pages at that site... ladies, thank you so much for makes me HAPPY =))

March and a little bee... or buzzthday bee... o whatever, the spring is around and here's my fav for march ^^

April and a special project this month, one of my favorite pages for scrapbooking Two Peas in a Bucket asked me about a project for a big celebration at the site... and here's my card series for 2P, ladies... was a pleasure work with yours <3

May and my most fun page, my iPod list, a great way to conserve (lol)

June my favorite... blue, sea, lot of elements... the summer in a page =))

July... my birthday and no blogger entries but I've got two Gallery Standouts pages in digital, here's one, probably my favorite

August... and a word...heat, just thinking on heat this summer, and a crazy time at my house, really a stressfull month but always trying to find a little time for scrap ^^

September gives me a prize... oh man... Hero Arts picked one of my cards for his 5 favorite round and was my first experience with Copics, so fun to create

October... or the way to make a crazy card... flowers like trees? yep, that's possible XD

November was a creative month but probably I'm in love with this LO digital, I'm select a crop for my winter header <3. Is a entirely The Lilypad page, love this team, my team!

This is my most precious project for december... really a big work (and I still working on it...) but here is my december daily =)

noreply@blogger.com (Mabel) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 22:55:00 +0000

2011 it's practically gone but life give us a New Year to live...

Last year was amazing in some days... a freakin' nightmare in others... but really wasn't a bad year. We hope the next will be better for all of you in these difficult times, the world living a revolution and we must work for a better future for us...

Last year was plenty of creativity at last months and I'm back to scrapbooking traditional with cards and other projects... cards were an era, new times and creative ideas are waiting for the next year... you can see a peek here... ;)

I can't tell u much because this is a "surprise" for the magic night (Kings Night here in Spain)... anywhere HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!! <3

2011 está prácticamente acabando pero la vida nos trae un Año Nuevo para vivir...

El año pasado fue fantastico en muchos días y una loca pesadilla en otros ^^... pero realmente no fue un mal año. Esperamos que el año próximo sea mejor para todos nosotros en estos tiempos difíciles, el mundo está viviendo una revolución y nosotros debemos trabajar por un futuro mejor para todos.

El año pasado también fue un año pleno de creatividad en los últimos meses y he vuelto al scrap tradicional con tarjetas y otros proyectos... las tarjetas fueron una etapa y nuevos tiempos vienen con muchas ideas creativas para el año próximo, puedes ver un pequeño avance en la foto de arriba ;)

No puedo contarte mucho más porque es una "sorpresa" para la noche mágica del año, así que shhhhh y que tengas una FELIZ FELIZ NOCHE DE FIN DE AÑO!!! <3

Nos leemos el año que viene ;)

December Daily 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Mabel) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:30:00 +0000

Hi everyone... this is probably my most fun project this year... sincerely... adore this project. I discovered the December Daily project four years ago from Ali Edwards blog, she's sooooo creative, and the project caught my eye since my first view.

I taken part of the 2008's DD (here's my Flickr gallery) and the 2009's was a DD digital, the last year I can't participate and this year I'm sooo happy to being a part of this. This is my colorful cover (how could it be otherwise lol)

and yes... went so fun as can be =). This year I thought on a white cover, on colors, on glitter and the mix of my ideas was made this DD 2011.

I've used some products of my own stash, a lot of American Craft Thickers, some die cuts from K&Company and other stuff that you can see at my links (sorry about that, some products are no availables actually but you could use similar current stuff)

Now I show you the first part of the inside DD, I need to edit the rest of pics (I taken over hundred ouch... =)) and the next days will publish the entire DD.

For the first page I used Hero Arts stamps and a Fancy Pants paper.

For the second and third pages I used some old patterned papers, stickers from Basic Gray and Fancy Pants

For the four and five pages I used American Crafts and October Afternoon stuff. The snowflake was a gift from a friend and love add to my DD like a window across the five page.

For my album base I used a 7 Gypsies cardboard 8x8 album and added some notes, envelopes, and other stuff in order to complete all days for the December month.

Well this is my first entry for DD 2011 album and stay tunned, the next days I'll publish more post. Thanks for looking and for your comments, really apreciate it.

Happy first December day ;) <3

Fala la la la...

Bling bling

noreply@blogger.com (Mabel) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:03:00 +0000

I started this card with no an exact plain... brightness then went to play =). This is my entry for the Moxie Fab World Championing Award Medallions Challenge really cool and creative

Comencé esta tarjeta sin un plan exacto... luego los brillos llegaron a jugar =). Esta es mi entrada para el reto de Moxie Fab World de Medallones, es un reto realmente creativo

I put my three medallions in a white cardstock card with a emboss pattern in order to create more deep, then inking circles around the vellum medallions, you can see the background across the medallions. Add some glitter... some pearls... some blings... definitely winterwonderland in a card.

He puesto mis tres medallones en una cartulina blanca que he texturizado para darle más profundidad, luego he añadido circulos con tinta alrededor de los medallones translúcidos, puedes ver la trasera a través de ellos. Añadir glitter, perlas, diamantes... definitivamente es el reino de la Navidad en una tarjeta.

Hope you like it, thanks for looking!! =)

Espero que te guste, gracias por la visita! =)

Peace

The sentiment was made with embossing powders, just added a close up in order to show you the pearlized effect on the emboss reindeers.
