He was such part of my teenager years . Too Sad

Mini Album

This is a darling mini album, that you can see in this tutorial. Although I think the spine is a little too large, next time I will calculate a smaller spine.

The cover is Unity Stamps , the brads inside are SU.

I've been busy with some projects, so this is going to be short.

I always would like to answer some comments but it's a shame blogger don't let us reply (don't give commenter email), but I do read and appreciate all of them.

Thank you!

Bag Topper

Ok one more thing I did to carry the goodies I did for my friend Selma, actually I did 2 different Bag toppers but forgot to take picture of the other one, I gave that one to Carla with some goodies too. For the opening I used a SU word punch . Stamp Magnolia, gosh I just love them.

Yesterday, I had some friends over to show them how is soldering and later at night art group, fun fun fun.

So inspiring !

Fathers Day Photoshop Playing

This is one of the few pictures some months before my Dad got pretty bad and passed , he was already in the hospital in this picture and my sister went there to stay with him for a whole month, as I could not go and he lived also in another state in time, my sister lives in Rio with my mom, and in that time he was in a state called Ceara. It was good she took this before things went pretty bad . It is not fathers day in Brazil now just in August but I did this for her and for me.

Wrap up boxes

Got this template from PTI, to put some goodies for my friends Selma & Carla that came to visit me this week, it was really nice to finally see people you met here in blog land through the passion of stamping and scrapbooking.

First one I embossed a SU stamp and the butterfly with Cuttlebug die and embossing folder.

--Off topic

yesterday was a pretty scary day for me, Lucas had a little accident. I put him in the corner of the sofa to grab his bottle and in like 10 s I just listen that screaming and I ran and he was on he floor.

I can't tell you how desperate I got, he was crying a lot and I was crying and shacking. I called his pediatric clinic and the nurse said for me to take him there, so like a thunder I packed him.

To this point he was already calm. But me another story

The doctor actually looked him and he was smiling for her, and I was crying.

I was feeling devastated, I had so much fear and guilty, I can't forgive myself that he had that happen to him.

But I thank God he is fine and smiley as always.

For the ones that didn't see

Hi everyone for the ones that didn't see I'm posting my tutorial here again.

The links of the products are on Everything Scrapp'n Blog on this link.

Card

Today I have began my quest on loosing my pregnancy weight, I did a membership to a gym and went before 7 am this morning, using the time that Carlos feeds Lucas and put him to nap.

And I feel great today.

My friend Selma is visiting from Brazil the NY area so probably we are going to meet this week, she is one of my blog friends that I met in blogland and here and there we began to chat on skype. Finally we are going to meet for real. This is the power of Scrapbooking ! :)

So this is one of many things I prepared for her.

Simple , straight to the point card.

Stamps: SU, Hero arts

Colored with Gamsol, the top was colored twice and mounted on pop dots, so the flowers would pop.

My friend Risa gave me this lovely RAK, I appreciate , Thanks for the RAK my friend.

Have a great week everyone

Playing with PSE with my new look

Last time I had short hair was in 2005 and I was so missing it, I did it ! And I feel sooo FREE.

If something is making you unhappy, do what makes you happy no matter what other people think.

Jana

Hybrid Layout

To begin this layout I use this digital paper from PaperBag Studios and did the frame with cookie cutter on PSE, I printed in cardstock so it would have a texture to it. Embossed around with Tim Holtz stamp. On the side what you see it's a envelope with a letter inside telling Lucas how was his birth, and what I felt. And by the picture you could see I was really emotional.

Sale Alert:

Everything Scrapp'n is having a Father's Day Sale 35 % OFF. Code FATHER from 12th-17th

Today 12th is valentine's Day in Brazil, and my DH came with a card that said: In you I found the love of my life and the closest and truest friend of my heart ...plus personal notes, ;)

I have so many projects that I need to take pictures but the weather is not helping at all.

I want to take time to thank everybody is following my blog as well subscribers. Thank You!

See you later
Jana

Digital Layout

I'm waiting the weather get better so I can record video tutorial, it's been raining and dark , gee when real summer will come?
Decided to play a little bit in PSE. I have a mini album ready but still have to put my watermark on PSE.
This is how I'm working lately many things going on, but I can give each one 5 minutes during the day, then 2 minutes so I have projects all around.
Just a off comment: have you seen Jon & Kate plus 8 , this program is so fake now is making me annoyed.
It's funny to see how money changes people.

But I found a new show to replace that: Whale Wars, too crazy,loved it !
But I see my tv specially in summer more and more quiet.
Anyway,
I'll be back tomorrow with a mini.

Your own background for your layouts

Going to this site I created a background with words that reminded be of Lucas, once there
you can change the letter's color or create your own, you can tell which words you want bigger, to appear more, it's really cool, after that I printed on transparency and stapled in a white paper, there is a ruler stamp from unity stamps on the side but you can't see really well here. The pictures were so left over that I didn't want to throw away.

House is full as my DH didnt go to work , he felt sick really sick past night, because a food poisoning. He's getting better.

Thanks for stopping by

No sentiment Card

Gee, it's been raining since yesterday here in NJ, really annoying because than I can't walk.
I'm glad is Friday , tomorrow we have a couple as guests for lunch, I do nhoque, from scratch is a Italian meal, but in Brazil is so common became kind of Brazilian food also.

So, this card is from Kitchen Sink Stamps 3 step stamps, It can be very challenging to stamp this specially when you don't have many inks like me, but it worked ok. I like the effect this 3 step stamp gives.

Everything Scrapp'n received this great collection of American Craft Glitter Thickers !
They 20% off now , great deal !

Digital Layout

This picture was taking together with several other by a friend of mine and amazing photographer M. Teresa Simao.
We made a session when I was around 8 or 81/2 months pregnant.
Sometimes, some of my digital layouts are just to express my playful side, I like to things that express what I'm feeling. And play with beautiful papers in photoshop.
Soon I will post a tutorial trying to explain what I know about layers in photoshop, have to edit that still.
Today got shocked when Lucas woke up thinking it was the usual 4 am call but when I looked at the clock it was 5:40 AM, ok that was great or what?
I hope this begin to be a new pattern that he will start, so I can begin to think about going to the gym early morning, I'm feeling very unhappy on what is left from my pregnancy, can't stand myself, I know I'm not even close to so many people that have weight problems, but I never had this weight in my life, I was always 158 and now I'm 176 but seems everything is in my belly and my face. Just annoying ! And I can't wait to exercise, something I never thought I would want, because I hate exercise.
Anyway,

Boxed Mini Album

This is a 4x4 mini album inside the box, did this for my Etsy, trying to update a little bit.
Can't believe in 3 days my son will be 3 months. It goes slow sometimes and other times so fast.
Fast post today , I will work on my newsletter, I can never send on time, too many things to do.
But that's my priority for the day.
Thanks
Jana

Card + minis

I wish the days had more hours, and that I could sleep more, but with a newborn I think that is to ask too much right?
I've been suffering from laziness about creating after I finished some projects. I want to do things ., it's because now I have to do a huge set up in order to do small steps at a time, Lucas now naps for just 45 min at a time, many times a day.
Anyway , onto to my card
Stamps: SU
