HOLIDAYS CARD

HELLO my dear friends. I am off this week and I spend for the first time all day making my christmas Cards. The weather here is frightful, there is snow clouds in the mountains and is very windy. The temp it is 45 degrees. I know that is nothing for people who get real snow but I live in Arizona  in the valley and we are not used to cold weather. This is the first cold front and we are specting snow in the mountain and freezing temps at night 28 degrees.  Brrrrr!!! Great time to scrapbook with holiday music and a cup of hot cocoa with marshmellows. Mmmmm!!! Here is a pic of the card. Sorry it is a little blur but my camera die and i do not have any batteries and I am not going out there with this weather.

 I stamp and embossed the image. Color with copic makers, also added crystal laquer to some areas and the snow I made with liquid applique.

thanks for stopping and have a merry day. Hugs Angela

MY BEST LAYOUTS

URBAN GRUNGE APRIL KIT

Hello my friends it been a while since I post anything, Really bussy this days. but I received my April kit from Swirlydoos and it is awesome, lots of things to play with. Whit this kit you don't have to worry about clean lines you can think out of the box. You can use ink, paints, sand paper anything you want to distress your page.

All the things included in this kit are amazing, a piece of metal grid, dry wall tape, hinges and lot of metal goodies. I even used a piece of metallic duct tape to make my flower. And guess what???? My Dear Husband saw me working on this LO and suggested to use his metallic duct tape. I feel so happy with this kit since even my husband gave me feedback on how to use some of his things. Thanks for checking my blog and have a Happy Easter.

Here is more details of the LO

Metallic duct tape flower: I used a piece of duct tape and place it on a piece of cardstock, then I used a EK Retro XL Punch to cut the flower. I used a Slick Writer to doodle on the flower.










For the chipboard rocket from Maya Road I used the Gold Metallic acrylic paint Dabber. Cover the 2 openning with brads.















For the background I used the light blue acrylic paint Dabber to make the mesh pop more. I used 3D Glue Dots to adhered the mesh. Then matt my pic and use more glue dots to glue it down.

JUST HAPPY!!!!

Hello my dear friends it is finally friday. This is the day I do all my errands and clean the house so I can scrapbook during the weekend since I work full time. I consider my self very lucky to have a family that really support me in my hobby. Also to have such a wonderful niece Monica that share her amazing pictures for me to Scrap.

This LO is from my niece last visit to the Magic Butterfly in Hartford,CT. She is so pretty and bubbly I decided to make an album for her birthday. This LO is one of my favorite one. I try to keep it simple so the photo will be the focal points. Most of the supplies are from GCD love that Pattern Paper and I used Watercolors for the flower that I cut out of the PP. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend.

PS. Beware soon there is going to be a challenge on my blog, with a very nice prize.

My LO Emotions is out for publication

Hello everyone, Yes it is Monday and just staring the week. For all those that work and also for the SAHM. That means getting up early, coming home tired and also make sure you exercise. I set a goal to scrap a layout per day or at least get caught up during weekends. But some times you get to hooked to scrapping that can affect your personality so here is my Latest LO about my emotions when I scrapbook. I hope you like it and feel me on this!

Journaling reads: This is ME showing my emotions when I scrapbook: 1. CURIOSITY – behavior of exploring, learning or finding out there is some new scrapbooking supplies to play with. 2. HAPPINESS- a state of mind or feeling such of satisfaction, pleasure or joy. Specially when you get new supplies to scrap with. 3. GUILT- emotional experience that occurs when a person realizes or violated a rule. Like when you buy some supplies to scrap you are not allowed to get. 4. EUPHORIA- mental state defined as a sense of great elation and well being. Like when you finished a great LO. 5. LOVE- a single emotion built from two or more feelings. Like when your DH understand the need to get more scrap booking supplies. 6. SURPRISE- brief emotional state that is a result of experiencing an unexpected? event. Like when you get new scrap supplies. 7. GRATITUDE- positive emotion in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received. You feel thankful of having great memories to scrapbook. 8. SILLY- a state of mind of being playful. like when your DH said you spend too much time Scrapbooking.

Finally Friday

Hello there!

Yes it finally friday and looking foward to the weekend. Going to a crop this Saturday and having fun with the scrapping. Here is the Rodeo week. Everyone dress up as Cowboy. There is an awesome parade.
