HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

it has been a while since i posted something but i still around. in my country there is this saying: weeds never die, hehe. that's me!

Happy Mother's Day

5.5" by 3.75"

anyway, i had no idea of what i was doing here, lol, but i knew i wanted to use at least once, the kate's abcs cart.

the mushrooms you will find on page 57----cut them at 3.25".

the butterfly is from the same page and was cut at one inch.

this frame is from sizzix and the awesome greeting is from mps.

i love this font.

oh! the dry embossing was done with the script texture folder from cuttlebug.

a bit of inking, a bit of bling.

something a bit different but not bad at all :P.

I hope you guys are doing well.

-----

remember, this saturday is national scrapbooking day (NSD) and robyn will be celebrating with ideas, challenges, giveaways and new stamp releases. mark your calendars so you do not miss all the fun.

i really enjoy participating in the different challenges and hope you do too.

love you all!

-------------------
-------------------

hello to all of you and welcome to my blog

i am agnes and bloggers know me better as flowerdisco

as many of you already know, i am not much of a scrapbooker BUT i love making cards and play with paper and fabrics in my spare time. i also love my cricut and my gypsy and have an obsession with pretty paper.

did you just call me a hoarder? lol....

anyhow...most of you are hopping with us because you love robyn, my pink stamper.

i love robyn too and i am so honored to be in her design team with a group of very spectacular crafters whom are my team mates. you make sure to visit all of them and drool over their creations. you might find some candy along the way too. who knows.

our theme for this hop is birthdays and here is my project.

mmmmmm...

I'll diet tomorrow

5" tall

hehe...this is so true to me

---i'll diet tomorrow---

but i promise you i am doing my best, lol

i used the spring holiday cards seasonal cartridge, image#49.

the cupcake is from "smiley cards"--gypsy exclusive-- image# 1 cut at 3.75" tall.

the sentiments are from the lovely i am in love with "sweetest cupcakes" from my pink stamper new stamps

set. it has the cutest phrases about cupcakes. love it!

i used three of them:

mmmmmm..., i'll diet tomorrow and happy birthday sweetie!

the tag came from an old piece of chipboard that i covered the papers i was working with and the ribbon is from target dollar bin. what a nice finding that was!

the butterflies are from a paper punch and covered with fine glitter. i also used glossy accents for the dots/sprinkles on the paper.

a better look at the phrases.

and below two pics of the box top. a feature i fell in love with.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR YOU

and the title goes out from my heart to each one of you who take the time to stop by and check out my humble creations even there are lots more creative bloggers than me.

i truly appreciate your comments and your visits and your friendship.

this card is for you

Words cannot express my gratitude for you

3.75" x 5.5"

robyn, my pink stamper really rocked all the sentiments with this new one set and specifically with this one sentiment. in my opinion it is a very powerful statement. "Words cannot express my gratitude for you". wow! just think about it.

in case you are interested in the sizes----card base 7.5" by 5.5" piece of cardstock-scored at 3.75" and folded in half.--- the first piece of patterned paper was cut at 2.5" by 2.75"---- the brown strip was cut at 1" by 5.25" and the blue one is 1.25" by 3.75".

the flower is from gypsy wanderings image#11 cut several times, misted with water, crunched, dried with a heat gun and inked...;p and the layers were attached with my glue gun. the buttons were from an old flannel shirt that had seen better days, lol. i distressed all the papers.

below is the new stamp set that is used:

"Everyday Sentiments"

(a must have)

well, thank you so much for stopping by and remember

i love you all

*-*

*************

a little personal note here: my son did not get accepted at Harvard but he was accepted in the other 5 universities he applied for but he decided for Boston University. we are so happy for him. he was a bit bummed about Harvard since they were the ones who approached him and even gave him an interview. but God knows what is better for us and i am so very happy about his decision. now the time has come where he has to apply for some loan to cover the rest of the tuition. Boston University was very generous but still a very expensive school and he has to cover the rest. of course we are here to help him as much as we can.

thanks for the good wishes and better vibes.

MPS FEBRUARY DESIGN TEAM PROJECT

hello my friends

i can't believe we had snow on sunday night :(-- i got up yesterday morning to another winter wonderland sight. it did melt fast and the roads were clear. that was nice! :)

---------

today we have our second designer team project for my pink stamper. we all know robyn and HERE is the link to her site where she will be posting all her designer projects.

this is my project and it is done with the cricut circle exclusive cart (for now--wink)

cricut everyday.

this is our third cartridge received as a circle member.

i used the expression without the gypsy for this project. oh, lala!! hehe

this is the first in months or maybe almost a year. since i bought the g i normally use it with my e.

these boxes are super cute!

the sentiments are from my pink stamper clear stamp set called

spanish sayings

this box was cut at 8.25" and when assembled it measures approximately

2.5 inch square (if counting the top flaps, add an inch or so)

---------------

sorry i forgot to take a pic of the middle box, the black one---oops!!!

but it was cut at 5.5 inch and when assembled it measures approximately 1.5 inch squared.

--------------

this tiny one was cut at 3 inch and when closed is around 1 inch. so tiny and adorable, ;p the little swirl is from one of the first stamp sets from robyn, when i was serving my first term with her. you can find it here, on the products section.

----------

below is another view of all the boxes again

hope you like them too. they are a breeze to make and with so many different clear stamp sets from robyn aka my pink stamper, assure yourself to find the right one for your boxes/projects/cards too.

(wink-wink infomercial here, lol)

i am planning to use make the middle box as a treat box for my son's graduation :P

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY-----MPS FIRST DESIGN TEAM PROJECT

hello my friends...i went today for my blood work to rule out some conditions. i will keep you up to date but i am feeling much better as of today. i know that won't last long so i live everyday to the fullest ;p.

today is tuesday, january 25 and normally on tuesdays i post the challenge for the cuttlebug spot but today i am making an exception to post my first project as one of my pink stamper 2011 designers. robyn asked that our first project should be inspired by LOVE and we should use PINK somewhere. easy!

Happy Valentine's Day

6.5 x 4

the beautiful heart paper is from one of the new dcwv stacks.

the hearts were cut from a foil cardstock and one of them embossed, as you can see, with the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder. i fell in love with this foil cardstock from a few xmas cards i received.

hehe, you can see the reflection of my camera lense here, oops!

look how pretty the wet embossing turned out, love it.
the sentiment is from one of my pink stamper latest clear stamp sets. you already saw it because i have been using it a lot lately ;p--- it is this one below..called
HAPPIEST MOMENTS
(you can click on the name and it will take you to robyn's site where you can see a variety of her products..i personally love her stamps).

for the inside of the card, i decided to use another brown border using the same brown american crafts textured cardstock i used on the outside.
hope you like it as much as i do. i am giving it to my hubby for valentine's day :)

please, if you have time, stop at robyn's site. you will be able to take a look at the rest of the fantastic projects the other designers have made for today.
also, robyn--my pink stamper--has a challenge going on right now celebrating her birthday. go ahead, click anywhere you see her name here and it will take you to her site...don't be shy, participate and you might win one of two cricut carts she is having as giveaways.

this is it for now...
love you all--!!
*-*

tomorrow i will have the project i made for the cuttlebug spot and another opportunity for another of nilda's giveaway if you participate on that challenge too--wink-wink.

FOR YOUR BABY

it has been so cold in the neighborhood. i do not like to go out when is this cold but had to go to a meeting on saturday morning for a musical my son is in where he got the lead. i then went food shopping since they are expecting another snow storm this week, better have some food in the house, ;p
i decided to stop at joann's and saw they now have the pink atg. i had a 50 % off coupon and bought a refill for it. if anybody knows where i can buy them by the case at a good price, please, would you shoot me an email or let me know in a comment. thanks!

this card is totally out of my color comfort zone but since i try my best to be versatile i played with pastels colors since is for a baby.

For Your Baby

5 inch square card

the plane is the shadow of image#1 on the b is for boys cricut cartridge, the star is from a child's year image #46-- icon feature and i added a rub-on.

see the martha stewart ribbon???not too pleased with it but it was the one i had that matched better. i also inked around my images but not on the white border across. i left that out of the inking process, ;p. that border is from straight from the nest, image# 32 using the layer/shadow feature.

the "for your baby" stamp is from one of my dear robyn's latest clear stamp sets called

Happiest Moments

i have been using this set a lot lately and i will be using it for the graduation parties too.

i finished my card with another cut of the plane on the inside.

any questions, please...just ask. i read all my comments...they feed my soul ;p

hugs and love to all--!!

WELL WISHES

hello

me me, the winner of the blog hop contacted me and soon i will be making a little surprise goodie box for her. i am very happy she did get my email and claimed her prize.

congrats to me me--!!

i made these two cute tags using another set of clear stamps from my pink stamper.

Well Wishes

the tags are from a child's year image #11 using shift and the tag feature.

the flowers are from accent essentials image #46 using the shift key. the leaves are also from the same cart: shift and images # 41 and 42.

i misted the flowers with water, i crunched them, dried them with the heat gun, inked them and glued the layers on top of each other. they were different sizes, varying a few eights of an inch. the leaves were also misted, crunched and inked. really easy to make. the sentiment i used is from the set below in case you want to check it out.

HAPPIEST MOMENTS

thanks for stopping by

and a big hug to all.

HAPPY EVERYTHING

and an mps blog hop and health update.

---

i went yesterday to the reuma doctor for the first time and she was very nice. she will be examining some tests i have had done, but all it seems to point out to a bad flare up of my condition. i am back on one of my old medicine. i thought that medicine was not really working, but she says none of them will take completely my pain away--mo magic wand here either. :( it is not the first time i hear that.

this is a condition i have to live with for the rest of my life and it will flare up for the rest on my life too. i have to go for a blood test for lupus. i never had that test done tough, let's see. i have had every other therapy, massages, injections, rx that has shred my stomach and more... and nothing really works. oh well...put my

"big girl smile on again", and keep forward. that is all i can do :)

i feel much better and last night i was able to sleep the whole night. i still have my son's cold and now my lower back pain has moved to my middle back, but i should be back to "normal" soon.

---

my mps blog hop winner will be announced sometime tomorrow th, jan. 20.

---

now onto a card i made the other day with a new set of clears stamp from my pink stamper, robyn.

Happy Everything

5 x 4

I needed to think happy these days and this sent

image got my mind in gear.:P

made with kraft cardstock and K&Co embellishments.

i really liked how clean the sentiment came out. i used a colorbox ink for it, very nice.

if you would like to see more of this Happiest Moments set,

please click here to got to my pink stamper site.

where she has lots more to choose from too:)

i think it came out very pretty.

----

I also wanted to show you a pic of the ice storm we just had. if look a bit closer you can see the ice shining on top of the snow that we already had.

this is it for now,

i will be back tomorrow with a winner for the blog hop.

hugs to all and thanks again for being there to hear me vent ;p

MY PINK STAMPER BLOG HOP

hello to each one of you..my dear followers, visitors and new friends.

my name is agnes aka flowerdisco, and this is my blog

"flowerdiscosscraphut"

anyhow, welcome to my blog where i share my humble creations with you, and your comments feed my energy, soul and creativity..:)

i am blessed with a son (only child) who has made my husband and i more than proud with all he has achieved in his young life. now i have been accomplishing some things with my hobby and this is why you are here, right?

i am so very honored and thankful to be collaborating with my dear ROBYN aka my pink stamper--as i serve my second term as one of her "my pink stamper design team member", in this awesome year of 2011. i was in her first design team ever in 2010...this term will be for 6 months--six months full of fun and love and laughter, great friendships among all of us design team members and robyn.

many surprises will be revealed by robyn in this year and hopefully many, many, many more in years to come.

I want to take this moment to CONGRATULATE her--my pink stamper aka robyn ;p, for all her accomplishments, hard work and friendship--thanks robyn--i am filled with pride and honor as i serve this term with you.

IMPORTANT--- at the bottom of this post you will find the instructions for the sequence to follow and to get my KEYWORD for you to participate in this robyn's challenge. you MUST start at her site--

to go to robyn's,

because you must collect keywords along the way to know what the challenge is about to be able to participate.

well, enough of my blah-blah and onto my project for the hop ;p

Wild Cool Cat

4.50"

the card base shape comes from just because cards (cricut cartridge), image #15.

i welded them using my gypsy and also copied the same image and made it into a smaller one for the greeting:

"cool cat"

which is another set of clear stamps from robyn called "more punnylicious" and again (shame on me), i split them in half---oops! i did it again, lol--to have it the way you see it on my card ;p......... i then embossed it with clear embossing powder and a "tip" here---to get a good embossing you must use a pigment ink pad (or embossing glue pad).

below you see the stamp set used on this card and...

if you click on the photo, it will take you to robyn's site/product section if you wish to purchase, and you also can see where the "cool cat" is, lol and how i used it instead, lol.

you can find the beautiful and awesome patterned paper i used, in my stash--hehe. i do not remember where i got it but i know i paid very little for a whole bunch of different ones. it is textured and thin but i did cut it with my expression at 3 speed and 3 blade, lol--absolutely adorable.

the wild word comes from the cutting up--cricut cartridge.

now, look how cute the inside is

the little cat is from... i do not remember either ,lol---i had it in my stash from etsy :(...... i embellished it a bit---cut some tiny triangles for the ears, a mini strip of cardstock for the collar, a punched out a mini flower from the same patterned paper and of course----bling.

this cat might be a wild cat but is a cool cat indeed--hehe.

hope you like my card--i had a good time making it despite being sick at the time..it really lifted me up :)

here is what you are looking for--------the blog hop sequence in case you get lost but remember you MUST start at Robyn's site----it is important you do that.
