I made this layout for Tara's May Challenge at Creative Cookbooking. The challenge is to do a layout using black, white and gold. I decided to use my mother's day pictures. Jorge and the boys worked very hard to give me the Royal treatment for mother's day.

Completed a challenge for Creative Cookbooking. The challenge is called "Go Green". You are to use packaging from a kitchen item on a food related layout.

Stampin Up Demo

This are the cards that we made at Marielena's Stampin Up Demo at Kim's house. As always she had great ideas and new techniques to share with us. We used the dots folder to emboss the blue cardstock in the background. Notice the tiny brad used for the knob.

The background splatter effect was created with a background stamp. Gorgeous!

We made the flower by punching different sizes of circles. The paper splits after distressing it, this gives it as suade effect. We formed the flower.

Pop-Up Birthday Card

I made this card for my friend Gloria, tomorrow is her birthday. I used my new Popcorn the Bear stamp, I bought it at the Memory Garden store. The card is a pop-up card. There is a video by Dawn explaining how to make this card. I adjusted the measurements to my stamp. Cardstock is from Stampin Up! I colored my images using Prismacolor pencils.

The card folds flat to put it in an envelope.

This is how the card looks from the side.
