Card no. 106 - Your friendship is so dear to me!

When I went to visit family in Los Angeles, I couldn't wait to meet one of my dearest friends - Rosalinda. She is one of THE sweetest people and I am so sad that I don't get to see her more often. I miss her dearly.

To make the distance between us shorter, I made this card for her. To tell her that I love her and that I treasure our friendship - even if we live in different cities.

I used cute Mo Manning image - Catching up, colored it with Copics and ProMarkers. The cardstock is Bazzill Basics and the DP is Graphic 45 (Le' Romantique), absolutely gooooorgeous. The pearls are from Inky Impressions. Perfect place to get a LOT of them. I used Prima Flowers and a little red buds from Hobby Lobby (that I've got last Christmas). The border punch is by Martha Stewart and the Lacy circles are by Spellbinders. The inside sentiments are by Technique Tuesday - Ali Edwards & Hampton Art - Million Little things. I also used Stickles and Pebbles Inc. Pearly chalk.

Card no. 104 - Welcome Sweet Baby

Good evening/or morning ...

I had this cute Mo Manning image colored for a few days, sitting on my desk, and today I've finally found a little bit of time to give her a good home (on a card).

My wonderful sister's been playing with the girls while I could sneak in few minutes behind my desk.

I, of course, colored her with my Copics, ProMarkers & ShinHan Markers. I sparkled her dress and wings with StarDust Stickles. Flowers are from Magnolia and Prima. Papers are by Pebbles (Ever After Collection - sooo super cute!). Ribbons are from JoAnn and so are the rhinestones.The tickets are by Inkadinkado and the inside sentiments by Recollections and Technique Tuesday.

I used the wonderful sketch from this week's Fussy & Fancy Friday Challenge.

"Krafty" Inspiration at the Inky Blog

Hello!!!

I am back from the hibernation. LOL
The move's been brutal. The hardest one.
BUT

It's over and I have finally finished setting up my "play"/craft room (and almost everything else) and I am SO ready to start taking time off - crafting.

It was my turn at the Inky Impressions Blog to inspire you.

I was myself inpired by THE super talented Kylie's Kraft card and wanted to give it a go.
I didn't really use my white pencil that good and I couldn't figure out how to give it that soft look, but I am quite pleased how it turned out. The embellishments are all over the place and it looks a little busy - out of my comfort zone - but sometimes it is good to try new things. Right?

The Front View

I used Inky Impressions stamp - Lili's Present (of course) colored with my Copics and ShinHan markers, I added a little Martha Stewart tag with MS twine, base is made from Kraft paper picked up at JoAnn's, Stickles, DP from my scrap stash - My Mind's Eye and Basic Gray, ribbon, lace, Prima flowers, pearls from Michael's and that goooorgeous butterfly die is by Cheery Lynn Design.

I hope you're enjoying your week.

My "little" sister came to visit and she is the sweetest thing! The girls can't get enough of her and I am so happy to have her here! Sisters are the best!
Especially when they are so fabulous!

Off to play with my kids & my sis ....

I am entering the Basic Gray Challenge - Stitching 

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!

My husband - the Doctor

So after years and years of studying, it's finally official - he's a Doc! We've moved on the 1st of June, flew to New Jersey on the 8th and just got back - our furniture, unfortunately, is still not in Phoenix. Bleh, bleh!

It was scheduled to come on 3rd of June ... no comment....

Someone congratulated me for marrying a doctor ... my answer made them laugh, but I was serious.

"I married a hot surfer boy, he became a (hot) doctor while he was married to me." 

:)

Here is THE big day.

I'll be back with cards/projects as soon as I can. Hopefully by the end  of next week!

Have an awesome Monday everyone!!!!

Hugs,
