A Touch of Sol

Hola Amigas! How is everyone? UGH! Solimar is still home sick. We were back yesterday to see the doctor's and she has a lung/chest infection which is not allowing the asthma to improve. So I have alot to share with you but no time to take to share it...But as soon as things slow down I promise to get back on track. Today we are playing with the Divas. Its Color Challenge week. I have chosen to make two identical cards for this challenge but I switched the base colors...

I like them both. What do you think?

RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN UP

Paper: Basic Gray, Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Ink: Old Olive, Basic Gray

Stamp: Elizabeth, Occassional Quotes

Ribbon: Melon Mambo Polka Dot (retired)
Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper EF

Hola Amigas! Today I am participating in the VC Rocks Blog Hop. The theme this month is Color My World. We had to use some type of coloring technique (brayer, watercolor crayons, markers, etc). I chose to use my brayer for the first card.

I learned how to make this card at a USTAMP event.

Hola Amigas! How are you? Well I have so many things to post but Blogger has been on the fritz. I will try to get back in the groove...Solimar's asthma has been the worst ever. She is really having a tough time breathing...How do you continue telling a 6 year old that she is not allowed to play outside...anywho...This is the ensemble I made for Inkspirations 4U summer edition.Hope you will join us for the Inkspirations 4U Summer Edition.

Hola Amigas! Sorry I havent been around much. I have been so busy with First Communion's, Weddings, Graduations...My load will get lighter soon. Today we are playing with the Stamp-a-Holics. i created this sketch for the Team and all of you! I hope you will play with us. I would love to see how you interpret the sketch. Here is my interpretation. This is going to be a gift for one of the girls I made invitations for.

Well today is another busy day...I got to get a couple of things done before Solimar's Kindergarten show this afternoon. I will also SOON share with you all the gifts we made for Mrs. Coecliff for Teacher Appreciation Week. Today is the start of Nurse's Week and I was lucky to purchase the tutorial for this gift set for our WONDERFUL nurse who takes very well care of Solimar. You can purchase it from Lynn Pratt. I will share mine tomorrow.

It's time to play with the Stamp-A-Holics. This inspiration challenge is brought to us by Nancy. The colors to play with are Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi and a touch of Concord Crush! Are you up for the challenge? And here is my take...I wasn't sure how to pair my colors... Definitely will have to try this color combo again!

Here is a cute little box that would make great favors for a bridal shower! Use the matching card as a cute bridal shower invite! Or change up the theme and colors and use it for other types of parties. The possibilities are endless when you change the colors, embossing folders and more! This is the project I submitted to CraftProjectCentral. If you would like to learn how to make this and many more GREAT projects subscribe to April 2011.
