HEARTFELT THANKS WITH INDIE ART

just a quick card here i needed in a flash---:P--

like i can do anything in a flash, lol

Heartfelt Thanks

6"x4"

using the first clear stamp set released by 

MY PINK STAMPER.

and the beautiful INDIE solution cart for the heart. 

one in so many awesome carts that have been forgotten.

 and the beautiful photo corner from a SIZZIX sizzlet. another awesome die cutter. 

i have been buying a few things from sizzix from their outlet, at very good prices. all the sudden i remember they are steel dies and cut through so many thick materials, lol.

hope it motivates you to use what you have forgotten in your closets. i have been cleaning and re-organizing my craft room again and found so many useful supplies.

have a great weekend!

B.F.F. BLOG HOP - INSPIRATIONS OF THE HEART

hello my friends and visitors

i am finally getting back to the swing of things and i have been invited to participate in some blog hops. they are the motivation and excuse to come in my craft room and forget about the tsunami in my household right now, lol.

i have to thank Felicia from 

http://scrapperinthemaking.blogspot.com/

for inviting me to participate in her first blog hop celebrating her first 100 followers, Yay!

i know how i felt when i got my first followers too and she is so sweet she wanted to celebrate it with this special hop called:

B.F.F - Inspirations of the heart.

Felicia was asking of us to make a project based of a special friendship. 

i am dedicating this my project to a blogger friend who has been with me since the beginning of my blogging adventures and who gave me my first blog award. Since then, we have been emailing each other and we have become cyber friends. we have even share some happy days and some not too happy days. I have learned to appreciate and love our virtual friendship and if we do not hear from each other in a few weeks we are already emailing each other making sure we are ok. this person is who i am choosing as my "cyber BFF" and i do not want to say her name but when she reads this post,  i know she will know i am talking about her. 

  ------

now onto my project.

Best Friend Frame

 hehe---just a sneak peak????? Nah...

this frame i purchased at a craft store for a dollar and i already had distress it for another project that never made it. 

;-)

most of the one inch squares came from a K&CO designer paper and others from my scrap collection.

i punch them out, inked it and distress them one by one. some were embossed and sanded. 

 the ribbons were curled using my heat gun. i also added some twine and a button from my vintage collection. all was then attached with my glue gun on the back of the frame.

i know the above pics are almost the same but you can notice the light making a difference on this gorgeous frame and the "best friend" phrase. this phrase is from a sizzix die i own. 

the chipboard flower is from my stash.

i hope you like my "paper quilt" distressed frame as much as i do. 

a little secret?....this is my second project i made for this hop. the first one was destroyed by my husband when put a shoe box (shoes inside) on top of my project inadvertently. i am so glad because i wasn't feeling the love for the other one. sometimes accidents happen for a good reason. i am glad this time.

thanks for stopping by.

i do have some little things to put together for a lucky hopper. 

you do not need to be a follower to be included in this giveaway but when you leave a comment also leave a way to contact you in case random.org chooses you as the winner.

i will close comments on this post on Sunday, July 17 at 12:01 AM EST.

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.

 A SAD LOVE NOTE

 using Teddy Bear 2 Sizzix die
card measures 5x5
the colors are so different in real life. i couldn't get a good pic yesterday even if my life depend it on it, lol
so sorry because the colors are vibrant and beautiful.

I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face called:

Too Much Fun Faces

PK-525

I had most of the cuts in this tote I keep with little things I made that did no work at the moment and, that I know/think  I can use for another project. ;p

frugality...aha!

Example of this: the embossed background is from a project I did for MPS,

the leaves are from a cut that was too long for a card and I had to cut some off. The butterfly, the phrase and the sun were  also in this tote already. 

  The small flowers and the heart I just punched out. I handmade the little yellow note, isn't cute? The grass was cut with deco scissors, the puffy brown stuff on the belly and hair were made with the puffy fabric paint I have in my stash.

You can appreciate the dimension better on this shot. 

The inside of the card.

well, this is it for today and no!!!...I do not know what the note read, lol.  All I know is that it had to be heartbreaking news to make her cry inconsolable. ;p

and....
perhaps you want me to remind you that on  Friday the 17 we will have 
THE LIME LIGHT BLOG HOP.
 You will have to go there first and YES! there are a lot of prizes. The already have some sneak peaks of them in their blog. CLICK HERE to go and see and......
SPREAD the voice/post... hehe
