Hola Amigas! How are you today? WOW! It's February. I hope you have your coffee/tea and a muffin because you are going to have lots of fun seeing all the artwork displayed thru SUDSOL's 14th Blog Tour. We will all be featuring Occassions Catalog 2014 and SAB 2014 products. If you just came from Maree's blog, didnt just love her artwork? If you are starting with me, WELCOME!

In the card above I used the Fresh Prints DSP Stack. I love buying these stacks because you get 48 sheets (4 each of 12 double-sided designs). Great for card fronts. Here are the beautiful sheets you receive. 

My next card uses the new stamp set Another Great Year.

This is a GREAT stamp because it takes just about the whole card front...LOVE THAT! Makes for really fun and simple birthday wishes. I can't wait to make these in different colors. 

Here is the awesome complete stamp set.

Hola Amigas. Where did the month go? It's Sketch Frenzy Friday Time.

I used a new stamp set from the Occassions Mini 2014.
It's called Eggstra Spectacular. It is a really cute stamp set.

Here is the sketch you get to play with this week.
Please be sure to come and see all the great creations by the Sketch Frenzy Design Team.
 

Hola Amigas. BRR! It's Snowing and Cold. We are expected to get about 8 inches of snow.

GRR! It's pretty to see but not to drive in.

I created this card for SUDSOL using the Acrylic Distres Technique for the background and the center image.
 I also used the new Spiral Flower Die from Occassions Mini 2014
for my Chat & Challenge tomorrow on SUDSOL.

Hola Amigas! It was surprisingly warm yesterday, 60 degrees. But today it was chilly.
I am definitely looking forward to Spring. How about you?

I am playing with the Just Us Girls Challenge today. Challenge #223 is Paper Piecing.
 

 

Hola Amigas! It's a rainy day here in Jersey. Today I decided to play with both Stampin' Royalty Challenge #209 and the Paper Players Challenge #177. The Royalty theme is birthdays and the Paper Players theme is projects using the Chalkboard Technique. This is my first time using the Chalkboard Technique and it was fun. To make my chalkboard I used the woodgrain embossing folder and then rubbed Soft Suede on the embossed lines. Love that effect.
