The second challenge is for Inky Impressions Challenge . This weeks challenge is to Add Embossing (Dry or Heat) and Glitter or Flocking to your card or project. I embossed the red cardstock and I glitter the snowman. Don't worry if you don't have Inky Images I don't have either but it's ok for this challenge. This challenge will be going on for TWO WEEKS. So pop on over to join in the fun and for more info.
And I entered this card also in Stamp Something . The challenge is "Holiday Somethings". You can create anything you wish that reminds you of the holiday season. And you still have time until Thursday, December 31st. Here is the stunning card that I received from my special friend Gez in England. WOW!

I'm back!!! and a challenge for cuttlebug

Aloha everyone! I'm back....
First of all... my apologies for mia in 3 months. I had a hard time since my older brother passed, this is so hard and so sad for me and my family. But I know he is in a better place now with God and resting in peace.

Anyway, I am back to join in a challenge. I missed the challenges. At Cuttlebug Challenge this week is Glitter! Add glitter, bling, and use your Cuttlebug. Due by Tuesday December 8th midnight Est time so I still have time :) I had so much fun creating this christmas card. I cut out the sentiment and the snowflakes from cricut and used the potpourri basket cartridge. I hand drew the bird, then cut it, embossed and added stickles. Sorry for the blurry photo hope to take a better one later.



Just want to share another christmas card. I love this paper from Basic Grey.
Thank you for stopping by and hope everyone have happy monday.

I covered it with my old scrap papers and added her name and some cut out flowers. This is one from the list of Angela's school supplies. She'll use it as a drawer under her table.
This is the inside. Thank you Denise, I've been using the papers that you gave me.
Here is a box from diaper. I covered with papers that my friend Denise gave me, then added flowers and her name. She'll use it for the cubby hole in her school.

My altered projects

Aloha to everyone!!! I'm sorry for MIA in a long time. I really miss posting and hop blogging. Hope everyone enjoying the summer :) Today I just want to share with you all my altered projects that we used on my daughter's graduation party last month.
The first one is the giant card for people to sign in. This was a big box that I cut into half and use the other half. I painted white inside and attached white cardstock. Then I painted orange in the front and then decorated. Finally I used my Hello Kitty cartridge. All the guests love it and of course I love it too :)

This one was the milk powder can I altered it for the vase of the flowers and money flowers that I made. The cute little white bear was sent by Linny my friend from scrapbook.com. Thank you so much Linny.
This one is the old plastic container for my embellishments. I covered with black cardstocks, I cut 12x12 cardboard covered it with black cardstocks, added glitters on the edges and then added the orange tassel that I made from the yarn and attached it on top. All the guests dropped their envie in there....
The last one is her name. I used 2 boxes for these. I cut 15x20 then I painted with white and Charlene did the letters then we added the blue flowers. Hope you like my altered projects. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Just wanted to wish all the mothers out there a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
A quick mother's day greetings I made from my PSE.
Some of my mother's day presents. Thank you so much my dear hubby, sister and my kids. I ♥ you all. Angela got up so early and greeted me Happy Mother's Day, yes she's the first one who greets me today :) I was surprise when she gave me this beautiful red glitter box, I didn't expect to see these gorgeous beads jewelry. She told me to put our photo in the square pendant so I have to look for one to put it in. I ♥ these, the heart charm says * made with love* wow! how touching is that? And in the afternoon she gave me the blue mother's day card with her handprints. I really love the greetings inside here it is ***Every day I am exploring, touching everything I've found. I leave behind my little marks and handprints all around. You clean up my handprints but someday whenI'm grown you'll wish you had just one handprint to keep for your own. I made this handprint for you so that one day when I am big you'll remember what my my hand looked like long ago when I was small. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!*** I ♥ you so much Angela and thank you.


Hope everyone have a wonderful day!
