Monograms




Good morning!
Just wanted to share a couple of monogrammed cards I made, sorry about the quality of the pictures, some have a yellow tint but the paper I used is a very white linen cardstock.
Again you can find stamps that will do the same thing but I think it is so much easier and you can make many more cards in less time when you design and print these on your computer.

I received a couple of emails about the scallop part of the card, the punch is from Stampin' Up!
and you can only order SU! by contacting a demonstrator, to find one go to their website and enter your zip code, it will show you a list of demonstrators in your area.
Enjoy and have a good day!

"Sour Cream" Packets


Wanted to share these "sour cream packets" I made for my son's classmates for Valentine's

day, Super easy to make and for those of you who haven't seen them, they way this works is

after you make the container with the paper of your choice, you fill the inside with candy, I

used Kisses for these ones and then embellish with ribbon or whatever you want... Email

me if you have any questions...

{Hello}




Simply that, Hello...


This card is so simple [my kind of project] and so easy to make, and you don't


even have to pull out a single stamp or stamp pad! I have seen many cards


out there that have a similar layout but they are made with stamps so I decided


to make similar ones using my computer software and sometimes graphics, once


I have my design completed all I have to do is print it and assemble the card.


You can get it done so much faster, and I love the way the finished product looks,



Hey! and the most important part, it is still "handmade".



Enjoy...

Tree Silhouettes



You might have seen more and more cards and stationery using

silhouettes, they are pretty popular right now and I love to work

with them.

What you don't see on this card is that the image of the tree extends

all the way to the back of the card, sorry I forgot to take a picture of

that! Maybe I will do that later, for now I have to run... I am in charge

of my son's last day of school class party.
Good day!

Kraft Notecards




Love this look, and these graphics were just perfect for this paper...

Measurements: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Folded

Pink/Chocolate and Bling...




Although I personally do not like a lot of *bling-bling* I love the way this card turned out. Don't get me wrong, I love a big chunky diamond! but I do not like things that are too "loud", I prefer more of the natural, organic materials... more of the indie, urban look, less is more kind of style.


But this card is so feminine and the colors... Pink/Chocolate, hello? I think that the small rhinestone flower gave it the perfect touch. Again this is a 3x3, perfect to include with a gift.
PS: I tried to get a better picture so that you can see the details better but no luck, but you should be able click on the picture to make it larger.

Other than paper crafts....





Here is another one of my obsessions... I love to take pictures, specially of old buldings, barns, tractors, views etc. So I am sharing a few of the pictures I have taken around here where I live, these are a small part of my big collection, hope you enjoy them as much as I do Ü



Quick Share... 3X3 Mini Notes




Hi there! and Happy Memorial day.

Here are a few pics of some cards that I made this weekend...

-What I love about them...the size, this is my favorite size 3x3,

-What I hate about them...They are too small to mail.

But these are perfect to include with a gift and I love how clean,

classy and elegant these graphics are. I printed these in linen paper

and they look amazing... Enjoy!

Here are the ones I made for the girls, used pink cardstock for these ones and a cute little fish.
So easy! I used pop dots to attach the top circle, I think it gives it more dimension.
Enjoy! And Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone Ü

Ready for Summer!



Hello, just wanted to share a super quick project I made for my son's class, I am going to put some Skittles inside but you can use mints, M & M's... you get the idea. These are so easy and fast to make and will make a great favor for a wedding or a birthday, just change the image... the possibilities are endless. I will upload the picture of the one I made for the girls later, for now, ENJOY!
