Hola Amigas! It's time to PARTY with the GAB DT. This week's theme is Birthday. This should be easy as we ALL have a birthday to celebrate at least once a month...if not more. This month I have Solimar (my daughter), Aramis (my hubby), My Mom (same as hubby's), Abdel (my BIL), Sol (my neice), Aidan (my nephew), Liam (my Godson-born the 4th)...hmmm, anyone else?

For today's share I made a masculine (I KNOW-SHOCKER) birthday card.

Let me know what you think? and play along.

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).

RECIPE: Stampin UP

Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White

Ink: Night of Navy

Stamp: Christ is Born

Accessories: Petals a Plenty EF, Scallop Border Punch, Corner Rounder, Metal Sheet (non-SU)

Hola Amigas! New Design Team, New Challenges. Please go to Gimme A Break to see challenges posted on Manic Mondays and Finally Fridays. Today's challenge is to add SPARKLE. Considering we like all the BLING BLING that Stampin UP offers that's an easy take.

Here is my take. I covered the snowflake in Dazzling Diamonds.

I might have to add a sentiment to the hat!?

So how many of you went out before sunrise this morning? NOT ME! Hope you will play with me today and add SPARKLE. Please upload here.
