Tiles for Dad
Hola Amigas! I hold a monthly Mini Crafty Chicas class for Solimar and her friends. Last month the girls made one of kind tiles for tier dads. I took out ALOT of stamp sets and let them go to town. They chose their stamps and used sharpies and stampin' pastels to color them. They came out GREAT!
I made boxes for the tiles after I sprayed them with Krylon and added felt padding to the bottom.
and last but not least...here is the card they made to go with their handmade gift.
Love the textured background.

Challenge 249 - Crystal Effects
Hola Amigas! How are you? After having GORGEOUS weather Memorial Day weekend it is back to being COLD and RAINY! GRR! I hope you are playing with are 2 week Crystal Effects Challenge over at the Late Night Stamper's Weekly Challenge Blog. There are gorgeous samples to see and share. I can't believe the school year is almost over. I believe there are about 15 days of school left. I want to shower Solimar and Joaquin's teachers with daily gifts like I did for Teacher Appreciation week. Here is one of the gifts they will get from the kiddies. I bought scissors and used E6000 to adhere DSP to the blades and then I added Crystal Effects over the DSP. It's hard to tell in the pic but the DSP is now shiny...I made a tag in MDS that says You are a CUT Above the Rest! I also added a scissors charm to both pair. No more mistaken identity for these scissors or remembering who borrowed your one of a kind scissors!

Masks & Mystery
Hola Amigas! Hope you are enjoying the nice weather. I definitely need it to be warmer but I will take what I can get from Mother Nature. I had the honor of making this year's 5th Grade Fling Invitations. It was so much fun to make them too. Their theme is Masks & Mystery. This is a Gatefold card so the mask slides off to reveal the invitation details. What do you think?

Mother's day is right around the corner.
Create a card, gift, scrapbook page or whatever inspires you for Mother's Day!
Here is our next Challenge for Late Night Stampers and I hope you are inspired to play with us.
I have class with my Mini Crafty Chicas this weekend and they will be making their moms a Simply Adorned Necklace with 12 inserts. I am going to make them each a box of these cards to go with the class as I know the necklace will take some time to make. So hop on over for some inspiration and to add your artwork.

Happy Easter Peeps!
Hola Amigas! Hope you are enjoying this BEAUTIFUL day! I woke up and made Blueberry Crumb Cake for breakfast and now I am making Lemon Gem Cupcakes for tonight's dessert. YUM!
We just got back from Washington, D.C. It was a FUN road trip with the kiddies. But with that I almost didn't have Easter Goodies ready for Solimar and Joaquin. I know I have Easter Eggs somewhere but didn't have time to look so instead I made each of them these Bunny Jelly Bean Dispensers. CUTE!
Do you buy pre-made Easter Baskets? I remember getting them as a kid but have yet to buy them for my own kiddies. I prefer to make them as well as choosing what I want them to receive.
I have yet to disappoint them. HA! HA!
RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN' UP!

SFF031414
Hola Amigas! It's time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday! I hope you will be inspired to use our sketch and share with us! Come by and see all the SFF Design Team inspiration and upload your artwork too!
I made two samples in MDS.
What I love about MDS is that I can make samples to show my clients and easily change any
elements that they don't like. It's also a great tool for me to play around with ideas myself before
I go make my own cards.
So for my second I flipped the sketch but as you can see it definitely changes the look of the card.
I felt I had more empty space to work with. We would all love to see your creations.
Please share them and come by and see the Design Team's artwork too.
