A Touch of Sol

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

Hola Amigas! Happy Monday! I am GLAD that the weather is not as SEVERLY HOT as it has been...Have you seen the new fabric from Stampin' UP! LOVE THEM! There are three new additions to the fabric line. Here is a new project I have made not only for my nephew's birthday but to also sell at craft fairs...

Here is the Crayon Roll opened. It holds 16 crayons. Never LOSE a crayon in the car or on a trip again! And the next picture shows it closed. I added ribbon so you can just Roll it and tie it up.

These make GREAT birthday gifts, stocking stuffers and MORE! If you are interested in one or more of these please email me atouchof_sol@yahoo.com

RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN' UP!

Ribbon: Real Red 5/8' Grosgrain

Accessories: Candy Cane Christmas fabric, non-SU (thread, interfacing, crayola crayons)

Hola Amigas. How are you? Are you surviving the sweltering Heat Wave? Today we are going to see Kung Fu Panda 2. Then to AC Moore to buy more decorative Duck Tape. Then HOPEFULLY back home for lunch and naps. Today our 3D Challenge is brought to us by Nancy Dawson. The challenge is to make a 3D gift idea. This is what I came up with. A cute way to gift a bracelet to my neice. I saw this idea when Demo Reporters from SU Convention were sharing all the ideas they got to see In Person. Look how cute? This is one of the stamps in the NEW IB&C. It's called Kidoodles. Do you see the tie dyed paper inside. It's a coffee filter. You will need a plate and two to three ink refills. Place a couple of drops of each on the plate. I used Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Tempting Turquoise. Then spritz with water and lay the coffee filter over it.

Hola Amigas! How are you on this GORGEOUS Saturday. Yesterday my mom took Solimar, Joaquin and I out for lunch and then to a movie. My youngest sister, Sally also came with us. We saw Cars 2 because Joaquin is OBSESSED! It was really cute. And she also let them pick out a toy! Sally bought them popcorn an Icee. Thanks MOM and Sally!
Starting today we have a FA-BU VC ROCKS Blog Hop.

The theme this month is Anything But a Card.
My first and second projects are an Acrylic Frame Post It Note Holder with matching pen. These make great inexpensive gifts for teachers, secretaries and more.

Hola Amigas! I can't believe its Friday. Where did the week go? Have you been enjoying this beautiful weather? Solimar, Joaquin and I have! Well this week we have a GREAT color challenge brought to us by Mitzi. I hope you will play along with the Stamp A Holics.

Here is my card for this week.

Looking forward to seeing your artwork. Have a GREAT Weekend!
