Magnolia New Collection and Fall Kit- 2011

2011-10-09T09:20:00.000-04:00

Hi Ladies!

I know the stamping world is buzzing over the release of Magnolia's Sweet Dreams Christmas Collection for 2011 but yesterday I received my fall club kit and I want to share with you the pictures of the stamps that came in this kit. My favorite so far is the first Tilda with the hearts. I love that I will be able to use this stamp not just for Christmas but also for Birthday's or any other occasion. :)

Also I found this picture on Facebook. I can't wait for the new release even if I don't have much time to make cards this year I know they will have a special place in my collection. :)Enjoy!

Hugs,

Deep Ocean Challenge #9 - Birthday.

2011-09-27T07:00:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that I have been absent lately but in the next 2 months I will be moving to North Carolina. I'm happy leaving Cleveland behind because I will be closer to Miami and my relatives and friends. This week I started packing some of my stamps and scrapping supplies. I'm going crazy with all these changes so that don't get surprised if you don't see much activity in my blog during the next weeks.

This week in "Deep Ocean Challenge Blog" the theme is "Birthday" and I want to show you a paper bag album that I made for a good friend. I hope she likes it. Sorry, I took a lot of pictures this time, so please be patient.

Hugs to all,
LIM :)

Hi Everyone,

This SUPER cute image is from the new collection of Sugar Nellie called "Knitted with Love" witch is one of my favorite stamps right now. I think this adorable image is very versatile and can be used it for many occasions, don't you think?

Deep Ocean Challenge # 6- Light Blue..."Peace on Earth"

2011-08-16T04:00:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry but this is a short post. Today is my daughter's anniversary and I'm not having a good day. Here is my card for "Deep Ocean Challenge" This week challenge is "light blue". The papers that I used at the bottom were light blue in the beginning but when I added the "vintage photo" to distressed the corners they turned a bit blue-green. I just noticed it after taking the pictures. In real life it doesn't look so green. I'm so sorry about that :(

Hugs to all,
LIM :)

A paper bag card for Cindy...Lindsay's mom...

2011-08-05T20:40:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Two weeks ago I received the terrible and sad news about Lindsay's death, who is the daughter of the "StampingScrapping.com" owner (the store where I purchase my Magnolia stamps). After having experienced a similar loss myself a few years ago with my only daughter, I felt very sad for days thinking that this is the only experience parents should never go through. I know that there is not much anyone can say in moments like this, reason why I decided to make a card for Lindsay's mom. This is my way of telling her that I care and I really sorry about what she's going through. Today I can show the card because she already received it.

Front of the paper bag card...

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to show you a card that I made using two of my favorites Hanglar stamps.
I always use more colors in my cards but I have to admit that I like this color combination. I inked the ribbon with Victorian Velvet distress ink refill to match the background. The images colored with distress inks.

A shaker paper bag card... "It's a Girl"...

2011-07-20T11:30:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I made this paper bag card for a very special friend who gave birth a gorgeous baby girl, just a few weeks ago. I know that the colors I used are not the traditional ones for a baby card but I wanted to create something different, unique and special like she is to me... I hope she likes it.

All the stamps are from Magnolia. Papers from stash. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and the images are colored with distress inks. I added "glossy and crackle effect" to give it more dimension.

I wasn't sure about the shaker part because, to be honest, this is my first trial and in the end I liked the final result.

Stay tuned...I will show more paper bag cards soon... :)
Hugs,

A new DT position and a Magnolia Paper Bag Album...

2011-07-19T06:00:00.000-04:00

Good Morning! :)

I hope everyone is having a great week. A few days ago my sweetie friend Alberto invited me to be part of the team "Deep Ocean Challenge Blog" and even I don't have lately to much time to make cards I decided to accept his kind invitation. The blog was new to me but I'm sure you know some of the ladies from the DT. They all are so talented and make the most gorgeous cards and projects.

This week at "Deep Ocean Challenge Blog" the theme is "Ribbons" so if you have a chance make a card or project using any ribbon that you like. Here is my paper bag album for my first entry using some of my favorite wrinkle ribbon and laces.

Detail of the front of the paper bag album. Colored with distress inks.

Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers, drawer dividers with coupon and a Yo-Yo maker tool.

2011-03-24T11:00:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Since my "mojo" run out I had plenty of time to organize everything in my scrap-room and decided to have my "Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers" in these clear boxes that I love so much. The boxes are 12x12 from the company"Protect-N-Storage". The handy insert or dividers fits perfectly in your Protect and Store scrapbook cases, but is also great for desk drawers, any 12x12 drawer from Wal-mart or Target, cabinets, and more. Sturdy plastic has four extra-small, three small, two medium, and one large compartment. Great for storing all sorts of supplies.

I bought mine at Pat Catan's but now I found out that you can buy these amazing boxes and dividers at www.consumercraft.com.

The boxes are $3.47 each and the product ID is: 1203-66
The dividers are $2.17 each and the product ID is: 1203-66TRAY

And the best of all....a coupon...You can use this coupon from today to March 27th and save 25% of the whole purchase. Code: FRIEND2011

I also found this cool tool and knew I have to share with you. Is not new, but for me it is. I love the look of the yo-yo flowers and embellishments but I'm so bad with the sewing machine that I was forced to buy some pre-made yo-yo flowers on the store at $5.00

Two days after I bought my pre-made yo yo's I found this super cool and easy to use tool for the same price, so now I will make my own little flowers...and the best of all...you don't need a sewing machine. :))

They have another two sizes, large and XL but they are too big for my cards so I decided to buy the extra small and the small. ($ 4.97 each)

Hugs,
LIM :)

JoAnn Fabrics Bargain...

2011-03-22T23:00:00.000-04:00

Hi Ladies!

I'm sorry that I don't have any craft project to show you today. I have been sick for the last few weeks and my "mojo" run away... far, far away... :(

On Sunday I went shopping to JoAnn Fabrics and found that they are closing all the SMALL stores (at least this is what the cashier told me) so they are having a huge discount in everything. I was sad to find out that the only JoAnn that I have close is closing too, but at least I have the opportunity of buying a lot of new stuff... Poor hubby... he felt ashamed of going to the cashier with all the floss but seeing what the other ladies purchased made him feel better... LOL.... He didn't believe that we all NEED all this stuff...

Everything on the store were 50% and 75% off the regular price.

I will post a few pictures of the goodies that I bought and if you have an small JoAnn Fabrics close to you go and check if they are closing too so you can grab some goodies for yourself... :)

Good Luck!

Hugs,
LIM

Good Afternoon,

Today I received the new Magnolia Spring Kit and I looove all the stamps, specially Tilda with bunny and the tulips, they are all gorgeous!

Also want to show you a frame that I did for my scrap-room. I liked so much the card I did for my mom for Mother's Day that I decided to do something similar to frame it in a little shadow box and place it in my scrap-room.

And last but not least a Magnolia card. I added some crystal effect from SU to the flowers to give it more dimension.

Today I want to show you 4 new vintage cards that I made this weekend. The first card is to my husband for Valentine's Day.

The second card is to my mom for Mother's Day. I know it's a bit early because in America Mother's Day takes place on the second Sunday of May, but I was in love with this little cage and bird from Tim Holtz that my dear friend Martica sent me and I had to use it right away. Thank you sweetie!

Teddy Bo Challenge, two Vintage cards and a blog award...

2011-02-10T14:00:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

It's another Teddy Bo Challenge and the theme for this week's is IN THE PINK, so your main color must be pink, of course. I made this card using my new toy...The Zutter distressing tool.
I must say that I loooove how fast you can distress almost anything in just a few seconds. Is unbelievable! I bought my new tool in here and you can also see the video in how to use it.

Stamp: "My Cup of Tea"
Papers: Je t'Adore Collection from making Memory.
Tools: Zutter Distressing tool, Crop-A-Dile.
Embellishments: Eyelets, pearls, floss and gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Inks: Distress Ink from Tim Holtz.

Also I want to show you my new vintage cards. I don't know if they look "vintage" enough with those strong colors, but I have to admit that I'm happy with the final result. :)

And last but not least, I have been passed this award by the sweet Tammy. Thank you so much sweetie... :)The award is aimed at bringing unknown good blogs to light, I am honoured to think that someone thinks my blog is good enough for this award and happily accept it. There are a couple of conditions to follow in accepting, and they are:

1. If you have been tagged, do you want to accept, then you have to create a post on your blog and post the love blog photo.

2. Choose 3-5 of your favorite blogs to tag, link these in your blog too and tell the lucky people they have been tagged.

There are lots of lovely blogs out there and its very difficult to choose, every blog deserves an award and I would love to pass this on to every blog I visit, but the aim is bringing unknown blogs to light and these 5 fab blogs are my choice.

1- Martica. Her Victorian and Vintage creations are STUNNING!!! She sent me a few days ago a paper bag album for my daughter and I was amazed by the amount of details and love she put into. Thank you my friend!!! If you want to see the album she sent me you can check her blog here. Is gorgeous, but I must say the pictures do not make justice, in real life is even prettier.

2- The sweet Debbie . She is another amazing vintage artist. Her paper bag albums and tags are GORGEOUS!!! Full of details and stunning color combination's.

3- My dear friend Jenny. She just started a blog where she show her gorgeous LO's, cards and organization tips. I must say she's making a super amazing scrap-house... Yes, is not a scrap-room, is an scrap-house. How cool is that??? I can't wait to see the final result. :)

4 and 5- Mona and Johanna, both of them have an amazing talent to make vintage cards , tags and LO's. Thank you girls for the inspiration and for all the great ideas. You are both so talented!

Hugs,

Teddy Bo and Bea... Second challenge..."Seeing Double"

2011-01-26T09:30:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I'm so excited because I won the first challenge from Teddy Bo and Bea. To be honest I never imagined they would pick me because the rest of cards were gorgeous, but for some reason they chose mine. I'm so happy and thankful with the designer team... Thank you ladies!

This week after checking the store and buying some more new digi's I saw the new challenge "seeing double", so I thought on a frame that I had ready to use some time ago. I think it is perfect for this occasion. I made this card for a friend and hope she will like it. The challenge only requires using the image twice, but I liked so much this new stamp that I decided to have the whole image inside too. Check out the new style of Teddy Bo and Bea... I looove the shading look. They make Bo and Bea even more adorable!

I added "crystal effect" from SU to her eyeglasses to give it more dimension. In person look like real glass. She look so cute :)

Hi Everyone,

Today my husband and I went to a park close to our apartment, and we enjoyed a beautiful and sunny day. The amount of colors were overwhelming. A lot of different white, blues, gray, browns. I love going outdoors, but today was one of the most beautiful days that I had in this city... I wish you could see in the pictures the peaceful and the beauty of Nature. The lake was almost frozen and the geese were having a party in the little water that remained unfrozen.

Baby, it's cold outside...

New Magnolia stamps, cards and tags...

2010-12-16T23:29:00.006-05:00

Hi,
I just made this card today. I love this cute little Tilda picking apples. I added crystal clear effect from SU to her hat, apples and the shoes to provide more dimension.

Detail.

The second card is for one of my friends. She ask me for a card for her daughter graduation and her favorite color is blue. Inside says "Happy Graduation" but I do not want to show that part until she receives it.

Recently I started to sell some of my cards on eBay and made this tag for one of my customers. She always bought more than one card and I always tried to send her something unexpected. I hope she like it. I think she can also use it as a bookmark.

A tag for a friend. My new treasure...

I hope everybody is getting ready for Christmas... Is only a few days away...

Happy Holidays to all!

Santa Edwin...

Hi,

I made this card using the new Santa Edwin from the Magnolia Fall Club Kit Collection that I just received last week.

The Homemade Christmas and Christmas.

Details inside.

Hand Dyed Wrinkled Seam Ribbon...

2010-10-23T22:52:00.008-04:00

Hi Ladies,

Look what I did! I'm so excited because I'm in love with wrinkled ribbon and I found a cheap way to have all the colors that I want. I followed Tammy Tutterow's Tutorial and I love the result! The possibilities are endless and you can distress or dyed the ribbon with so many products like: Distress Ink, Tattered Angels Mist, Ex-Pearls, SU reinkers, etc... Your imagination is the limit!

I just dyed a few yards with different colors to see the effect but now that I loooove the result I will be playing with more combinations. I bought 2 HUG SNUG White spools of 100 yards each from this seller on eBay. The delivery was super fast and now you can see that from just white plain ribbon I have a lot of new colors. I wish you can see how sparkling they are because the pictures don't give them justice. In this occasion I used some of my Tattered Angels Mist.

I hope you all will try this technique, is so easy and fun... but if you prefer purchasing the ribbon already dyed, I highly recommend this store in Etsy. She has gorgeous colors and the customer service is A+

Hugs,
LIM

Some Christmas cards...

2010-09-25T19:40:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

This is a short post to show you some Christmas cards that I have made lately, though I have to admit that they are far to get done. Do you have all your cards ready for the holidays?

For the first one I used this cute little girl from "Lilli of the Valley" and October Afternoon papers.

Detail Inside

For the second card I used this adorable digital penguin from Whimsie Doodles. This is one of my favorite digital companies because it has the most beautiful ocean animal, monkeys and bears. Check their site because you will not be disappointing.

I added some white liquid applique to the top of the cupcake so it can look real. I don't know if you notice in the picture but in real life it looks so cool. Again a lot of stickles, prima flowers, brads, eyelets, ribbon and a little red bell.

And for my third card I used this old but super cute Magnolia stamp. I just LOOOVE it! I think from the old ones this is my favorite stamp and also one of the first in my collection.

I hope you all liked it!

Hugs,
LIM :)

A Spoon Full of Sugar...and some other cards.

2010-09-21T08:05:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are having a great time. Today I want to show you a few cards. The first one is for my last day as DT for "A Spoon Full of Sugar". This is the BEST group EVER, but I decided taking a break because, as you noticed, I'm not blogging so often and it is not fair for them.
I will miss you girls!

In this occasion I used this super cute digital stamp from "Some Odd Girl" and October Afternoon paper which I love. A few Prima flowers and a lot of stickles. I colored my image with distress re-inkers.

Inside the cardNext one is a card that I made for sale by request. I included a free "Thank You" tag as a gift and the lady who bought this card loved the idea! The stamp used is from Lilli of the Valley. I added some crystal effect to provide some dimension and texture to the skirt. The papers are from Memory Box (Jubilee Collection). As for the tag, I used this cute bee from Hanglar.

Detail inside with the quote that she picked:

Penny Black Stamps...

2010-07-11T21:30:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are having a great Summer. The weather in Cleveland is so hot (a bit lesser than in Miami, but without central a/c) :(( At least in our apartment ... I can't wait for the Winter!!! I might have to regret later on my words, but for now just thinking of snow make me feel so good...

Well, today I want to show you two cards that I made last week. I know all of you looooove Penny Black stamps, same as me.These 2 angels are my favorite from my collection so far, and I will admit that I'm in love with all the "vintage" images .

Regarding Penny Black and other great stamp collections, let me talk about this store where I always buy mines. The store website is at http://www.pbstamps.com/ and the owner (Dick) have the most incredible collection of PB stamps I have seen so far. He gets all the catalogs from 1993 thru today. It's amazing!!! The shipping is SUPER fast and the customer service great. I'm a customer of PBstamps since at least 2 years ago, and thanks to him I have an amazing PB collection. He even has many of the retired stamps. It's unbelievable! Just send him an email with whatever you are looking for and I'm sure he will help you :)) Also if you subscribe to his newsletter I guarantee you will laugh because this guy has an amazing and fun sense of humor. Good Luck!

Now let me show you my cards. The stamp name is : #1132K- "Sharing a Secret" and is from 1998 Collection.

Here is another picture so I can show you the details of the wings with Crystal Effect from SU.

And regarding the second card...I don't feel happy how it looks because I think I could have used different colors for the stars, but it was to late when I noticed it...
Stamp # 4078K- "Reach for the Stars"

Hi Everyone,

Thank you friends and fellow crafters for stopping by to visit.It has been longer than I expected since my last post but now I'm back. :))

Today I want to show you a card that I created for a special blogging friend to let her know I am thinking of her. On Wednesday evening, June 23, Michelle had an accident while tending her beloved donkeys which has left her blind in her right eye. She has shared the news of her accident in her blog post here (http://donkeysmiles.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-will-be-out-for-awhile-i-have-had.html). This week at "A Spoon Full of Sugar" we want to show our love sending her some cards. Please join us. Go to our challenge blog to see all the details.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

2010-05-08T14:45:00.010-04:00

Hi Everyone,

It has been longer than I expected since my last post. We are not settled yet, but we are getting there. The trip was long and boring for the most part of it, driving for a total of about 30 hours. At first we were accommodated in a small studio but after a few weeks we moved into a bigger apartment in the same building. Now we have to make a big shopping to get all the furniture and stuff. This adventure of getting started over again is harder than what I expected. Altogether, I have been so busy that I even could not find the time to play with my new stamps.

And talking about cards and stamps... I want to open an Etsy store soon (when I finally settled) and I want to share with you the only 5 cards I could made during these last days. I'm so in love with this Magnolia collection. They are gorgeous!

Lara is doing fine but we noticed that every time the temperatures goes down she feels bad again, so I'm a bit worried about how things will come up next winter. For now she's happy that we are finally together again. :)

And last but not least I want to wish everyone a wonderful and Happy Mother's Day tomorrow!

Hugs to all,

LIM :))

ASFS- WK# 95- An Easter card and some pictures of my little princess

2010-03-16T06:30:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry that I have been so quiet this week but I had my little dog sick. She jumped from the sofa to the floor and injured her back. :(( She had to be in a cage for 10 days until she recovers herself completely, what is not an easy task because she has never been in a cage before :(( She hates it!! and me too...

I'm spending a few hours a day by preparing her new diet (which changed drastically) , administering the medicines (she drives me crazy to take them), and spoiling her a little bit so... bottom line, I currently have no time to make any card. On top of that we are moving in 2 weeks and I still packing and selecting things that I will take with us. Can you tell I'm stressed???!!!!

I have a few cards scheduled for the next weeks and I hope I can settled in the new place soon.

Today I want to show you a card that I made a few weeks ago for ASFS challenge blog. I know that is not the typical "Easter" card, but I made it before the girls picked the last theme. Sorry. I used one of my favorite color combination (green and blue) with this super cute hippo from Magnolia Collection.

And last but not least, here are some pictures of Lara, my little princess not happy at all.... :))

Hugs to all,

LIM :)

WK# 93 - Lilly of the Valley - Love Much....

2010-03-03T22:55:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I intended to post my card on last Tuesday but it was today that I arrived from Ohio. I enjoyed two wonderful weeks with my husband, and it was sad getting separated again even though I know that it will be for only a few weeks.

I started packing my craft stuff and let me tell you that this is a crazy and hard work to do. I don't want to leave anything behind but I have too much stuff, so I'm selecting some stamps from each company that I like the most, and some ribbons, tools, etc.. The punches are giving me a hard time, as they are really heavy to carry and my collection is too big to move it all. I need help!!!! :((

OK, now let's talk about ASFS challenge. If you want to play, this week you will have to make a card using some beads. I made this card a few weeks ago and I did not have beads, so I used pearls instead. I love this little girl from "Lilly of the Valley". The papers are from Martha Stewart and the flowers from Prima.

I wish everyone a great week!

Hugs,
LIM

Pictures from our neighborhood and some bargains from Pat Catan's

2010-02-24T22:30:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I will not have any card to show until I return to Miami, where I got all my craft stuff. In the meantime I can show you the sets of stamps that I bought last weekend in Pat Catan's.
Each set was on sale for $1.00. The regular price in Michael's is $9.99 and for some sets is $14.99, so lucky you if you live nearby a Pat Catan's ... :)) I'm in love with this store!!!!

They also have these small sets at $0.50 each... I think they are so cute and a super bargain, don't you think? :)) The brads cost $ 0.50 (50 brads per pkg) and the flowers $1.79 (32 flowers per pkg).

I also bought these little clear boxes to store my reinkers bottles from Tim Holtz. I do not know if all the 36 bottles will fit in a single box, reason why I purchased 2. The box dimensions are: 4 x 8 x 4. There are different sizes on the store.

And last but not least, here you get some more pictures of our new neighborhood.
I hope everybody is having a great week.

Hugs,
LIM :)

WK# 92- Distress Inks, Pearls and Stickles

2010-02-23T03:00:00.000-05:00

Good Morning,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm in Cleveland with my husband so I'm really happy right now :))
Cleveland impressed me more than I expected. The part of the city were we are living looks so nice. Beautiful houses around our building, nice view of the frozen lake and three close parks to be in touch with nature. The frozen lake looks like a big pool of whip cream or something like that. It's really beautiful! I love it! Below I included a slide show with some pictures.
People is nice and I like everything around here so far. I found a goldmine called "Pat Catan's" which is a craft store that seems to supply some goodies to Michael's. At first I couldn't believe the prices. I was in shock!!!
- 50 brads for $0.50
- bazzill flowers -packages of 12 for $1.79
- Inque Boutique Stamps sets from $1.00 I can't believe that I found the scrap-world heaven!!! in Ohio!!!! :))) I paid $9.99 for some of these sets at Michael's, while here it only costs $1.00.

Now let's talk about ASFS challenge blog. I made this card using one of my favorite Magnolia stamps. If you want to play with us this week the theme is easy: just use distress inks, pearls and stickles in your card :))

Enjoy the pictures!

Hugs,

LIM :))

I can't believe it!! I knew he ordered it for me a few weeks ago but I happened to received it right today, just in time for Valentine's!!!! :)))

ASFS Wk# 90- Whimsy Stamps and some news.

2010-02-08T19:06:00.006-05:00

Hi Ladies,

Can life be more complicated??? Let's see...

Today I want to show you the card that I made for ASFS challenge blog and also let you know some news about my life. Last year was busy and hectic for me in many regards. However, some things were good because I enjoyed my family and I traveled a few times. I love traveling, not matter where :)) I'm a typical Sagittarius :))

After so long I finally had the furniture I wanted for my scrap room, but (and this is a big BUT) now I will have to leave everything behind and move out...Crazy eh?... Let me explain myself. After nearly one year searching for a new job, my husband got a really good opportunity in Cleveland, so we have to move to Ohio. I have to admit that I'm a bit scared because I never lived in a cold weather before, and I will miss my family, friends, the beach and Miami weather, but as my dear friend Teresa told me once, I better be thinking in all the nice and cute boots and scarfs that I will own soon :))

My husband is already in Cleveland and I must say that I feel lost without him. I miss him so much. This is the first time we are being apart since we got married. However, the good news is that very soon I will be traveling to stay with him for 2 weeks. I will finally move my "stuff" (I'm having a hard time deciding what's is really important , what I will need and what I won't...LOL Specially in my craft space...Oh boy is so hard to select....)

I will take to Cleveland just the essential stuff as I know that there are a few craft stores up there. So I will keep my scrap-room in Miami to be used when we return on vacation.

Well, enough chit-chat by now so let me show you the card I made using one of the cute and adorable images from Whimsy Stamps. The stamp is called "Janice and Marty's Snow Day" and the illustration is from the amazing talented Crissy Armstrong.

Materials:
Stamp: Whimsy Stamps
Inks: Re-inkers from Tim Holtz
Papers: My Mind's Eye and SU
Embellishment: Martha Stewart Punch for the snowflakes. Embossing folder.Pearls. Button, Ofray ribbon, and a lot of stickles. :))

A Spoon Full Of Sugar Wk# 88...Free style.

2010-01-26T03:30:00.001-05:00

Hi Ladies,

Here is my entry for "A Spoon Full of Sugar". To be honest to you, this is the type of challenge I like the most... free style :)) I can make a card using whatever idea comes to my mind without worrying about sketches or anything else. I like sketches too, don't get me wrong, but I prefer free style :))

I don't use too often this combination of colors but my friend Dawn helped me to see the beauty of these three colors together. She made the most beautiful black and white cards I have ever seen. I noticed that she sometimes applies a little bit of red, so I give it a try using one of my favorite Magnolia stamps.

I don't know if you can see the details in the flowers but I first stamped the beautiful Grunge Collection set from Stempelglede and later on punched it with the EK Success large punch. Finally, I added a bit of glue and some Crystal Diamond Glitter.

Have a great day and the most important...Have FUN!!!

Hugs,
LIM :))

Kimmie Stamps...The new girls from my collection...

2010-01-15T18:21:00.005-05:00

Hi Friends!

I hope everyone had a great Holiday. We are back from our vacation and I just can say we had a blast. Was so nice to enjoy these special days with the family and old friends. I will post some pictures during the next few days.

I will try to get more active in my blog this year and post some cards every few days at least.
Sorry that I did not send any Xmas card this year but the last couple of months were hectic to me.

Now I want to show you some of the new girls from my collection. I'm so in love with the Moonlight Whispers from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I think they are really funny, don't you think? I love their little attitude :))

I know Kimmie released some new stamps that I need to add to my collection but today I want to show you the two cards that I had time to finish before our trip to Cuba. The other pictures are just colored images. If you want to buy these stamps just follow this link.

Hugs to all,

My last Post for 2009!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

2009-12-25T06:00:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe this year is almost gone. Honestly, I'm kind of glad because it has been a crazy year for me. I'm still suffering from this awful cold but I feel happy to be able to spend the Christmas Holidays with my relatives in Cuba. Back from this Holiday Season, I will try to be more active with my blog posting more often. At least, this is one of my resolutions for the year 2010. :)

I want to THANK YOU guys for all the emails, the kind words and the friendship over this year. It's unbelievable how much you can care for a person irrespective of the distance and the fact of having never met that person. I'm thankful to all my blogger friends who supported me with their kindness and friendship over this year... I love you all! :)

I'm sorry that today I did not have enough time to visit each of you to drop in your respective blogs my best wishes for this Christmas, but I'm still engaged with"last minute" stuff that I have to sort out for my trip. So, I want to wish you all Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2010 !! I wish all your dreams come true, and hope to get the chance of keep sharing nice ideas and projects with health, happiness and love!

I wish you the best!

With Love and Hugs,

LIM

2009-11-17T04:00:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

WOW.. It's almost two months from my last post. I apologize for it, but this year is being busy and hectic for me regarding my personal life. We are back from our vacation in Cuba and let me say that we had a blast. We had so much fun with my family and friends that we (my husband and I) decided to go back by Christmas and New Year's Eve this year. I already got my tickets :)))

In addition, because I have kept myself focused on other sort of things during these last months I decided to take a break from the DT positions. I hope though to have more free time in the future to get back to those amazing teams. I will really miss those girls.

Talking about the teams ROP, B&W and ASFS here is my card for this week challenge of "A Spoon Full of Sugar" I'm using one of my new Hanglars. I love this little boy. It's not a traditional Christmas card but I think it could be nice for a 9 y.o. boy.

For my second card I'm using this cute little stamp from Gillian F Roberts. If you want to buy this stamp here's where I bought mine.

For my third card I'm using an old Hanglar stamp, which you all know is my #1 favorite company. Did you see the new Christmas collection for this year? They are beautiful!!! :))

And last but not least is this cute little girl from TGF. I bought all my TGF stamps, basic grey paper and also my Prima flowers at "Roses on Paper" store. Great selection, prices and AMAZING customer service!!! :))

I will soon post my pictures from my scrap room and also a few changes I made around the house :)) I received my cabinet a few weeks ago, but I still miss some drawers that I need to order soon...this story never ends.. LOL

I hope everyone had a great week. Remember this Friday 20th is the premiere of NEW MOON :))) I can't hardly wait to see Edward in action.... :)))

Hugs to all,

LIM

Vacation Alert!

2009-09-10T08:00:00.001-04:00

Hi Ladies!

This is me again. I apologize with all you because I have post lately not much. The thing is that I have been involved in many things at once at personal level, and the result has been myself struggling to find some time to post. Anyways, I want to THANK all my friends for your emails and concerns. I'm doing fine. Indeed I feel super happy because tomorrow we will be taking our vacation in Cuba to spend two weeks with my relatives. Last time I visited my country was 14 years ago so I have so much to see and enjoy with my family.

I am also working the final details of my scrap-room. I expect the last piece of my cabinet to arrive by the mid of October and I will post some pictures when the cabinet arrives.

Last week I received my two ink pads holders and they are already mounted on the wall. I love them so much! Now I have room for even more ink pads and everything is organized. I bought the ink pad holders from Organize more, Here is the link.

I will post pictures when I'm back of my vacations.

Let me say that the owners Mike and Chrissy are super nice , so friendly and with a great customer service. I was impressed with the quality of the products. Check out their store because they have a lot of models and I believe they are having a sale, so you might even save a few bucks :)))

I hope everyone had a great summer and most importantly, have fun!!!

Hugs,

LIM

My WAR ZONE...

2009-08-24T01:53:00.006-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry that I do not have any card to show this week but this is how my scrap room looks right now. I decided to change the wall color and everything is a mess as you can see. I'm still waiting for my furniture and other little storage devices that I ordered on line, but as I promised as soon as they arrive I will show you pictures.

Please do not forget to check the ROP challenge blog tomorrow to play with us this week, and also on Tuesday "A Spoon Full of Sugar" challenge blog. Have fun!!!

I hope everybody is having a great summer :))

Hugs,
LIM

The first piece of my puzzle ... ARRIVED!!!!

2009-08-16T20:31:00.013-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are having a great beginning of week. Here the temperatures are still HOT, HOT... Well, as I mentioned in earlier posts, I'm in the process of re-designing my scrapping room, which is taking long...oh boy... This is the story that never ends... :((

I'm always looking for better solutions and ideas to storage everything, but I can't find anything that pleases me 100%. I tried with a few plastic containers, little boxes , ink storage from SU, drawers from Walmart and Ikea, etc... but feels like none of these solutions have been working for me.

Well, only thing I can say for now is that my beautiful new desk arrived last Saturday and my hubby and I put it together in some half an hour. Really easy to assemble and the best part is that this little piece of furniture is soooooo functional..At least for me... I love it!!! and I have 30 drawers just for me!!! Can you believe it??? :)))

Forgive me for not showing pictures now but I prefer to wait a few weeks until my cabinet and other pieces of furniture arrive, so I will be able to show you the whole picture. I promise to show the details of my storage solutions :))

In the afternoon we went out to the store looking for some stuff for my new desk and I happened to see a super cute lamp, which of course I had to own ;)... I love the color and it's a great accent accessory for my room. The best part though is that I can listen music from my iPods... I was also impressed with the decent quality of the incorporated speakers. You better have a look at the picture and judge by yourself ;)

And last but not least, I want to show you a card that I made to my husband a week ago. He loved it. The stamp is from Motivet, papers are from SU and rubbons are from Making Memories. I added some Martha Stewart clear glitter to give it a little bit of texture, liquid pearls and some Prima flowers. The heart punch is from SU.

Do you see anything cuter than this stamp?... It's called Doraline...Sorry I think is adorable.

Hugs,
LIM :))

Your friendship is the best present...

2009-08-10T23:07:00.003-04:00

Hi Ladies!

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Today I want to show you my card for "A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge Blog". This week you have to follow this gorgeous sketch made by our super talented DT Camilla.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Floral..

2009-08-04T04:00:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Well, here we have another week to play with " A Spoon Full of Sugar". This time you have to make a card using flowers, easy right? I used this beautiful Tilda from the summer collection.
I think this is my #1 favorite Magnolia Stamp so far, maybe because I live in Miami and here the weather allows you going to the beach most of the year :)) After I finished my card I realized that Tilda looks like being under a wave or something, sorry. That was not the idea. LOL.... :)) Opps, too late for regrets now, but I hope she can relax anyways. LOL :))

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer. Here temperatures remains quite high as well as the humidity, to the point that sometimes I think my brain is gonna fried. I bet my friend Rosette will say that this happens because I can't stop looking at Cullen all day long. LOL :)) Right Rosette?

Materials: All the highlited material are from the store "Roses on Papers"
Stamps: Magnolia ( Summer Collection), A Muse Artstamp and Aud Designs.
Papers: Basic Grey and Bazzill.
Inks: Distress re-inkers
Embellishments: Prima flowers, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, stiky mesh ,pearls, and a charm ( send it my friend Heidi, thank you sweetie :)

Take care and behave ;)
Hugs,

Welcome to the world... Belles'n Whistles Stamps!!!

2009-08-01T15:47:00.014-04:00

Hi Ladies,

I hope everybody is enjoying a great Sunday. Here in Miami the weather is killing us.. Oh boy, so hot outside that is not even funny. Hot in the mornings and raining in the afternoons.

Well, now the big news. I'm so happy that I can finally show you a first peek of the new stamps 'Belles'n Whistles". The pre-orders started Friday, July 31th and let me tell you, hurry and grab yours before they are gone because they will run out fast.

Once again Elizabeth Bells made a master piece. All her creations are unique, full of details and fine lines. I really love, love her style. I think she is one of the BEST illustrators right now, don't you think? I know you all love her too. :))

I was so excited when my dear friend Summer told me her plans about this new adventure called "Belles'n Whistles". I was so happy not only for being part of her DT group wich is wonderful and full of talented ladies, but also because Summer is that type of person that you are lucky if you meet her. Always generous and sweet.

About "Belles'n Whistles" I was expecting something "nice" but not something "extraordinary and so versatile". Really, I was impressed when my stamps came home last night and saw the quality of the stamps and also the pacaking. Wow!! I'm sure all of you are going to love it too!!!

Each stamp is individually packaged in a lightweight storage panel, but not only that... in the front of each panel there is a picture of the stamp and also the name. How cool is that!!!... Not more worries about looking for an extra storage. This is great!!! Thank you so much Summer!!! I will keep mine in a drawer. After each use you just need to clean the stamp and click on the panel. Like Elizabeth Bells mention in her blog..."They look like little Collector's Cards! ."

The stamps are also pre-cut and mounted on foam, ready to be use. Here are some pictures of the stamps and also my first card using 'Lemonade Anyone?. I hope you like it. :)

Hugs,

LIM :)

Two A Spoon Full of Sugar Cards....Challenge # 48 and 49

2009-04-28T04:00:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone,

WOW!!! I'm the worse blogger ever!!

I'm sorry but on last week the grandmother of one of my friends passed away and I took care of her three kids... I didn't even imagine that it could be so demanding taking care of three small children at the same time.. They drove me crazy, but I was happy of helping my friend in this dificult time. On top of that, I'm also having some relatives staying over for a few months and this is taking a lot of my time so that's why I might not be doing a card daily during this time, but will try my best.

Last week I was unavailable to post my card for "A Spoon Full of Sugar" challenge but today I will show you both cards. Last week our talented DT Caryn created this beautiful sketch to follow which I enjoyed much.. Thank you Caryn!!!

And for this week you have to make a card using one of my favorite color combinations: blue and green, so it was so easy making this card with one of my Hanglars. :)

Have fun!
Hugs,

LIM :))

A Spoon Full of Sugar - To die for....

2009-04-14T04:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone,

WOW!!! I have been out for a few days even if I didn't plan for it, but was so nice just disconnecting from the routine having a good time with my family and friends. I still have one more day because my husband returns to work on Wednesday, so I'm just posting my card for our challenge at "A Spoon Full of Sugar" and will go back to enjoy our time together, but I will be back on Wednesday :))

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. I did :) and that's why I chose this stamp to make my card for this week. This week the theme is easy: you need to use a die or a punch and place it anywhere in your card. I selected the Nestabilities and also the Quickutz for the swirls.

The Magnolia stamp from Easter collection , prima flowers, stickles and the distress ink to color my card are from one of my favorites stores: "Roses on Papers". This card is also part of my DT with ROP. :) The paper is from Martha Stewart and the brads and other embellishments from my own stash.

Hugs,
LIM

Hi!!!!

This week at "A Spoon Full of Sugar" was my turn to select an sketch so if you want to play with us, please visit our blog here and have fun with it. :))

I always find hard to follow an sketch because I prefer the freedom of putting embellishments and the image where I want. Even with my own sketch I had to add an extra flower and a brad... LOL!!!

Here is my card which is part of my DT work at "Roses on Papers". All the highlighted items on both cards are from the store.

For my second card I used my new Hanglar from the Spring kit . I looove these new stamps. I think they are beautiful for baby cards or like this one... for a very good friend... :))

Materials:
Stamps: ( First card- Magnolia) (second card- Hanglar)
Papers: Martha Stewart.
Inks: Distress re-inkers
Embellishments: Prima flowers, charms, gems, stickles, brads, buttons and ribbons.
Tools: Nestabilities and Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies.
