A Touch of Sol

Hola Amigas! December is HERE! I am HAPPY to say I am SUDSOL's December Featured Stamper. YEAH! I also wanted to create something new not only for SUDSOL but for my upcoming workshop. I made two simple but SUPER NICE cards using the ornament Punch.My first card I punched out the ornament and added DSP behind the open space. You can't tell in the pick but this layer is popped up with dimensionals.My second card uses the ornament punch out from the above card. COOL, huh?
Recycling at its BEST! You can also use this color combo for Just Us Girls.

Today's Surprise Challenge is Christmas Gifts. Please play along and create a 3D project for Christmas Gift Giving.

Hola Amigas! I have a craft fair on Friday at Bordentown Regional High School. I hope you will come and see me. This is one of the items I will be selling. It's Reindeer Food. Cute, huh?They make classroom gifts. So if you need some as gifts for your son or daughter's classroom be sure to email me.

Hola Amigas. I have posted a challenge at Scrapping the Moments. I challenge you to make a snowman card. You can use punches, dies, stamps, etc to make your snowman. Use your imagination. Here is my snowman card for this challenge.What do you think? Cute, huh? I saw a snowman card on Sharon Field's blog and new I had to make one. She used punches to make her snowman and I used the Circles #2 die. I wanted to show you how you can use different products and get the same results.

Hola Amigas! It's time to play with the Divas. How is everyone doing? Can you believe it's December? I have GREAT news. I am a Guest Designer for USTAMP with Dawn Year End Blowout. I get to give one free pass away but this time there is a twist. I have to choose a new friend someone I don't know. Who knows it could be YOU! I definitely need to redo this card. Not sure what it is but its either missing something or this is not the correct stamp to use for this sketch. Any thoughts?

Hola Amigas! Can you believe we are so close to DECEMBER! YIKES! Well its time for a new Gimme a Break Sketch Challenge.Here is my take on Courtney's sketch.
I didn't add any embellishments as I usually would because it would have been to overwhelming. The metal sheet background was enough (in my opinion).

Good Morning Amigas! Que Frio! Brrr, It's Cold...Over the next few days I will show you what I have been working on and the goodies that Dannie, My Holiday Exchange Partner sent me...I love this color combo. What do you think? Its Handsome Hunter and Rich Razzleberry. My little ones are much better. Thank you Lisa for always leaving me a comment and asking about Solimar and Joaquin. Today I am the Parent Reader guest at Solimar's school..She is very excited. I would love to read Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems. AWESOME BOOK! But Solimar would like Ms. Lisa to pick a book from the school library. I hope Joaquin behaves...YIKES! He is actually REALLY GOOD! He will be going for his FIRST haircut this weekend. Well hasta despues! Until Later!

Hola Amigas...How is everyone? I am doing well, except I am still sick along with my little ones. I bought this set awhile ago and yesterday was the first day the poor thing saw ink...I need to start making my Christmas cards because tomorrow marks 11 weeks until Christmas...I dont know how that happened it was just summer, and school just started we haven't even seen Halloween yet. But you know it will fly SUPER FAST! I have not ordered the stamp set Four the Holidays yet so I haven't stamped a greeting on the front...I love this set from the New Holiday Mini...It has Happy Holidays, Peace on Earth, Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings..I am going to make this in various color schemes. My second pic I tried to take a close up so you can see how super SHIMMERY it is IRL. I stamped the medallion with Night of Navy and then used my sponge dauber to add Champagne Mist Shimmer paint from Holiday Mini 2009.
