Card no. 59 - Magnolia - New Wedding Collection is here!
Can you believe that All That Scraps has been able to deliver the brand new stamps from Magnolia's Wedding Collection within 2 days? WOW! They are amazing :)
I couldn't resist and play a little today and surprisingly I was able to finish a WHOLE card... that's first time in I-don't-even-know how long. I did clean up a little, did big grocery shopping and played with the girls, then I swap with my hubby and here is what I came up with ... a little shabby chic ... don't you think? A little new for me, but I wanted to try that style. I think I will have to do it again (hopefully soon). A LOT of distressing and sewing ... oh, I am so pleased with it, but I think I am more pleased that I could make that card at all today. Yay!
I used Mina's sketch from Just Magnolia blog and I am also entering it into their Challenge.
Have a fantastic weekend ladies!

Card no. 58 - Party!
Good Friday everyone ... I have a very special card to share today. I used one of my most most favorite digi stamp by Mo Manning - Abby Celebrating.
Sorry, but the message here will be short and sweet :) ... I am quite busy this past few weeks and I will be for the next few upcoming weeks, having my 5-year old daughter home with me now that the school is out, plus my 5-month old, we've been swimming, playing at the park, doing kiddie crafts, visiting other children, riding a bike in the neighborhood, taking walks, etc. ... you know the drill... I am trying to keep her occupied. Also, my mom is coming for a visit (6 week one), so I am trying to have my house unpacked and organized - ya, I know ... we have moved ages ago, but I am still not where I want to be with it, so I need to get this done. Anyway, not much time or ENERGY to craft... but I want to sooo bad, so I am trying to squeeze in few minutes here and there and this is what I came up with ...

Card no. 57 - Happy 5th Birthday (OCC Challenge & ProMarkers Challenge)
Oh, my goodness ... these past many weeks have been c.r.a.z.y.! My "little" girl turned 5 last Thursday and requested "super cute" card. I could not say no ☺So, even though my bathroom is still in boxes, my craft room is all set up and I am ready to go...
I started making my own flowers - my friend Melodie has given me a ton of inspiration - what do you think? Still need a ton of practice, uh?
Also, Melodie sent me these gorgeous papers, not sure who they are made by. I used the super cute image from SCACD (Susana's Custom Art and Card Design), colored with my wonderful ProMarkers (Cool Aqua, Sky Blue & Turquoise were the main colors) and ShinHan Markers.

I frosted the girlie's headband and booties with some Stickles. The ribbon is from Michaels as are the pearls. The dew drops are by Robin's Nest. Distressed edges are done by Faded Jeans (Distress Ink).
Easy peasy ...
The Sketch is from Our Creative Corner Challenge. I am also entering it into the ProMarkers Anniversary Challenge. Oh, my! Can't believe it's been a year for them! Congratulations!!!
What I love about this card are the bright and cheery colors & easy to "assemble" layout ☺
ENJOY!
