Hola Amigas! Solimar's 6th Birthday is coming up. This years theme is 60s GROOVY! If you know me or have followed my blog for a long time you know that each of my children ALWAYS have a themed birthday party. and I do it BIG! This year is no different! The children will be tie dying their own t-shirts, making beaded necklaces, they will also paint a smooth rock and have their own Hippie Pet Rock friend...AND SO MUCH MORE! Her party will be at the State Museum. After all the party fun crafts and good eats they will see a Samba show. TOO COOL!

Here is 1 of many of Solimar's invites...What do you think? Do you have any ideas? I use the Mojo Monday Sketch 178

Time to play with the GAB DT. This is such a pretty sketch. Don't you think? So Valentine's is 2 days away. What are your plans? Anything special? My hubby is away in the state of Washington. So it will be just me and my 2 cupids. Here is my submission.

Hello Amigas! Well I made a new DT. I am on the LNS DESIGN TEAM. WooHoo! This week's challenge is HEARTS Abound. Considering that Valentine's is a short distance away this should be easy. I hope you play along. This is one of my submissions.

When you pull the sides...The message pops-up on the top.

So what do you think? Cute, huh? I wanted to mention I am giving away two free passes for Inkspirations 4U. Are next session is Spring & Easter.

Time to play with the Stamp-A-Holics. Isn't this sketch pretty all on its own? How is everyone doing? Can you believe its Friday? Well Solimar is almost at her Girl Scout Cookie Sale Goal. She is only 130 boxes away. I am really proud of her. Here is my interpretation. So what do you think? I flipped the sketch. The color combo (Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango) came from the Color Coach. Great TOOL to have.

Before I forget we are LOOKING for 2 NEW Team Members. Are you interested? Hop on over to the Stamp A Holics Blog for more deets!
