Father's Day Card




Hola Chicas

Today I am sharing with you my first DT project.  And let me tell you,  I'm very excited.  I want to thank Mai for this great opportunity.  We were given a sketch to  follow created by Daisy Collins at http://tsunamirosedesigns.blogspot.com.  Daisy shared with us a beautiful Father's Day printable to work with.   You can get these gorgeous printable at her zibbet store at http://www.zibbet.com/tsunamirose.  So please go check it out.  She has many other printables to choose from.  Daisy is very talented and everyday she has a new sketch to share.  You can also find the printables at Mai's store which is http://www.creandocondetalles.com/
I'm also submitting this card to http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2012/06/cardz-tv-design-team-challenge-10-my.html    For challenge #10 "My Guy" 

This is my Father's Day card that I made:




The paper stack that I used for my card is from Bo Bunny, Timepiece Collection.  Bling is from Want 2 Scrap.  The dollie, flower, pom poms and seam binding is all from Mai.  She will soon have them all in her store.  The clock is from Tim Holtz.  I also distress it all with "tea dye" distress ink.

Simply Gorjuss Birthday card

Hello Everyone 

Hope everyone is doing well.  Well, this weekend was my oldest daughter's Birthday.  She made a good point saying that it's mom's birthday too!!  LOL  After all I am the reason she's here.  Right?  I thought it was very sweet of her to say that. 

So I made this card for her using the stamp from "Simply Gorjuss"  name "Waiting"  I think she looks just like her when she was about 8 or 9 years old.  I used the designed paper from the Lost and found name Market Street.  The flowers are from IM Roses. The bottom trim is from a Martha Stewart punch.  I also used copic markers except for the dress.  I cut it out using the same paper as the back round from the paper collection. The sentiment "Feliz Cumpleanos" is from one of Abby's stamp set.  This is her link http://www.scrapbookaholicbyabby.com/

By the way she loved it LOL   Thanks so much for stoping by.  I would love to hear what you think.

Hello and Anniversary card for my Hubby

Hello everyone!

My name is Yvette and here I am!!  I finally did it!  I started my own blog.  Let's see how this goes since I have no idea what I'm doing. LOL  But,  I've been told by my sister and some great friends that it's easy.  Okay girls.... here I am!!!  :-)

For my first post I want to share a card I made for my hubby for our 7th Anniversary.  I don't know about you, but making a masculine card is my biggest challenge.  I did have my heart set on using this adorable couple.  I used paper from a pack of 6 X 6 I purchased from http://scrapace.com/ It's call plumeria by Basic Grey.   7 rose buds from I AM Roses that Stephanie sent me along with the seam binding and the heart pin in a swap we did together.  Also my sentiment is from her stamp set call "With Love"  Here is her link.  http://www.whimsical-designs.com/ check her out.  She has some great stamps.  Also used my Martha Stewart punch for the side border.

Well, I hope you like my card and I hope to have lots of projects to share with you :-)
Have a wonderful!!

Yvette
