A Touch of Sol

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.

Hola Amigas. Question? How cold is it where you live? YIKES!

Today wasnt too bad but boy am I shivering...

Have you played with the LNS Challenge Team.

This challenge is all about Love. We want you to make a card that would be suitable for an Anniversary, Wedding, or to send to your Sweetheart! SMOOCHES!

Here is my card for the 2 week challenge. This is the last week to add your creation.

Hop on over to LNS Challenge Blog and upload today. 

I made a shaker card. Sorry for the glare. It is difficult to capture the photos when you use acetate.

Do you see the cute little Banner? It's a new SAB Stamp Set called Banner Blast and matching punch. TOO CUTE!
