I did this shadow box also to take to my friend's daughter, we receive this containers from TAC , they are the packaging , I feel so bad to put them away sometimes. i put some crystals inside to give it a shake. We carry now this MM flowers jars, they are really pretty, you can check it out here.
While away I got a award !From my dear friend Malieta


I want to dedicate this award to my friend Jen alone, because is with sadness that is leaving TAC group to be concentrated in her online business. I was her first recruit with TAC, and can remember till this day our excitement , I had no idea about stamping and she helped me a lot to find my way !
As her downline she would always send us kit and with her last one I did these 2 cards, a way to not let us feel down , for not being in Hawaii for her angel classes. Jen ,You 're a star ! Thank you so much for your patience and help.

Also, I have new creations at my Mixed Media blog check it out !

Little Mail Box

I want to thank everybody for the support comments on my last post, I really appreciate !
I bought those forever ago, when was a fever on blogs, but I'm a kind of rebellion, :)
so I took forever to do those to send to a friend's daughter. These is a stamp set from the Kitchen Sink Stamps, these are my favorite flowers in real life hydrangeas, but this stamps require a quite number of inks to do the right layers, and I dont have many, because I dont use ink pads a lot, but you work with what you have :)
I attach the stamp images with modge podge on the back of stamped images and on top to seal.
Border punch: Martha Stewart
Chipboard letter: Grunge board.

Something Altered for the House

This is a chipboard from a Black mini so I thought I would do something to put in my living room, my goal is take all the pictures I have in frames and do something different with them, my decoration is pictures they keep me close, and remind me of people I love that are far or with me everyday.
Notice on my side bar we have a cute Vintage Stamp of the Month take advantage of the Price, here you can the see the second choice we have.
by the way Amor=Love :)
Thanks

Tree House Explosion Box

Purse paper bag card and Basket

This is a purse paper bag card, I saw in a European blog, and thought it was so cute, a way to use the 300.000 paper bags I have :), I put a paper inside so the person can remove and write the message and actually has a ribbon to hold the purse at the top, the paper is from stash, and magnolia and some acrylic stamps.
Another project
I did this little basket with a exclusive video tutorial for my group of Angels, this is one more of advantages of been in our group the stamp is circle sampler a great stamp set.
Another project is in my other blog, I'm doing some sewing, check it out :)
I want to thank you for your emails from people that like my simple work I appreciate.

Notes book with BIA

A simple notebook I've made to a guest I had at my house to have some lunch with me. You can't see in the picture but the cover is 2 layers, 1 is Design Paper and the top is a PVC plastic I bought in Brazil, that is kind of texturized. The butterfly is from Spellbinders , I made 2 so one one the wings go down. Ribbon hardware TAC and Ribbon Walmart.

Looking all this blogs around with Father' s day cards make me remember my father a lot. I want to do a piece of art for me and my sister, but all the pictures we tried to collect from him are with me in a box and it's really hard to open that box and see him, makes me want to hear his voice, how I miss my father voice, but maybe soon I will be strong enough to go and deal these pictures. My sister has one more with her , from their wedding , the only one my mother didn' t destroy. yes, she destroyed most of his pictures after they separated 2 years before he died. I'm still working on forgiveness of that , so just make me want to say, cherish each day, and the ones you love !
Good Week !

Stamping on Fabric !

Finally, I had time to do something, although I was feeling at pressure to post something.
Its been crazy because I had to begin to work same day I arrived, so I'm doing all things at the same time, my luggage still with things on there for me to put in place, laundry and all that jazz.
So, to stop and do something is crazy, but I have so many ideas going on in my head, that I want to begin to try to see if I could do. So , I saw this tutorial and thought would be fun , to do this to give my friends with some goodies that I bought from Brazil.
My idea is to do that smaller, instead of doing paper bag for cards, do with fabric.
I'm having a love for fabric now they remind me paper, so why not join stamping and fabric.
You can do it !
Both !
Pallete inks work perfectly with fabric, this is basic cheap muslin, I used white muslin for the outside and regular muslin for the inside.
This is Spring Time set , its a fun set that you can create your own tree.
Its on promotion this month, when you order $30.00 of TAC products you can buy a mini version of this set for $2.95 !

Have fun Stamping !

Swirl Stamps on the pages TAC Fancy Curls.

Scrap Planner

Hi everybody thanks for the comments in my last mini I will prepare a tutorial for that
I will be alone next week , I'm having problem with light its beeing very dark lately and hard to do tutorials in my craft/office place as the sun doesnt go there totally.
I'm thinking to buy another camera to shoot my tutorials.
So stay tunned.
This is a planner I got the idea from Creating Keepsakes Magazine, you can download the inside pages here.
I thought is a good idea to keep track of the ideas of albums I want to accomplish, and sometimes I see a sketch that I like so I can plan ahead there, I think this works too if you make just cards.
I used for the bird a template from Scrapbook etc magazine. I think if you go there maybe they have online.
I used the bind it all , do you know that now TAC carries that ? Pretty cool.As well Scor pal. Oh well I have scor it I bought a long time ago, before scor pal was a hit.
New papers from TAC, and the create word is metalic word from Making Memories and I've used alcohol ink.

Have a great weekend !

Rolodex Calendar

I was trapped in my homeworks, :( did I tell I hate study? !
oh well, I still have assignments to finish but I took some time to finish this project,
took me foreverrrrrrrr.
I can't put one thing in my mind and go straight till the end
I begin this, and that and that bablabla
Anyway, I did a class on scrapafaire with Leah Fung and this was this rolodex, is actually great to make classes outside the stamp circle that is so infusing into pushing us with designs.
The papers are all from Chatterbox kit that actually leaves you with a lot of extra.
I want to know how people that are famous and do things not involving stamping , to learn ideas and new way to do things. Leah actually uses a lot of computer in her scrapbooking, something that maybe I should use more sometimes.
Its so cold in here , gee was 25F today gosh I'm so gald is friday. Anyway now I have to use every minute to create ....till the next homework.
Keep Warm !

Craft /Stamping project

This is a little something I made to put my GPS we've bought on black friday,I sew with my Janome, then I've used the monogram stamp from Papertrey Ink, and the sides I've used Marvy Uchida decofabric marker I bought on AC M. They are so cool, there is a shine to it and can be also used on cardstock. The Design I used a template I have from paperwishes(HTOP).

Some food for thought as you like to say here,,,

If you are a beginner , if you look blogs for inspirations BE AWARE stamping and scrapbooking is a passion, think about for who you do it?
Do you do just to get free stamps? do you do just to be on design teams? Or you do because you have passion,you enjoy ?
Bingo !!

Any work we do simple or fancy is our passion into it, so don't let stamping become a celebrity field in your mind, I feel myself I'm already sorrounded by pressure of society, or pressure of work , any pressure you may have outside, so why put my passion and something that relax me into that?

Why do I have to do fancy? or simple? or color coordinated?
That doesnt matter what matter is the feeling you have !it is the smile on the other person's eyes !
BE AWARE , you don't have to have millions tools , and people saying to you that this stamp, this tool is great......stamping is about falling in love and if that is going to fit on you stamping style...... go for it !

This is just something I want to come out off my chest to help people maybe like me.
I'm annoyed and sufocated !

So, I declared freedom of myself to see some things that tell me what I should like, and to think that just that style is the best because they have 300 design teams...
Doesnt matter ! You are the star of you work, your children,family , friends, will love...
And Í'm blessed to have a work and people that support me .

And I'm happy to make real friends on this journey ! Friends that cheer each other up and admire the work of each other !

So, BE AWARE, and STAMP HAPPY, STAMP WITH FREEDOM..

Mini coaster tag album

Hi everybody is good I 've finished before some projects so I can just put the pics on because I feel terrible with my nose that seems that doesn't belong to me.
So, this is another project for a baby girl my sister asked me.
It's a tag mini book, I didn't want write and do a lot of embellishment so the mother could feel free to write and something else she feel comfortable with.
The inside part that I have a close up with the magnolia stamp opens and inside I 've used the SU stamp for her to put the baby details, like weight, size all that..
The coasters are 4x4 so I did longer and folded with scor-it to do the tag holders.
Tags were made with cricut. The name of the baby is Daniela so thats why the D.
Stamps: Magnolia, SU
Papers: TAC
Ribbons: Walmart
Chipboard: Basic Grey

Coaster Frame

My sister asked to do some things for 2 friends that had baby, actually one still on the way.
So for the one she has a picture with I did this coaster frame , and isn't my sister pretty ?!! :) Love her and miss her more than words can describe .
I got a bad cold !I have a bad sore throat that left me with no voice ! dah !
My university classes start again on December 1st so I better get healthy soon !
I hope manage well my time for the list of creations I want to do !
And my RAK arrived today Thanks Christina this is her blog
gee she was so generous !

Back to Work

I hope everybody had fun at thanksgiving, we had a great time !

Back to work , I want to see if I have the weekend to produce the things I have to finish.
But first some things I done some days ago.

First Magnolia, one of the new fall stamps . I colored with watercolor pencils .
This I did really quick for a person I knew was her birthday the next day simple but good with my bind it all , and TAC papers.
Soon we going to post a blog candy , so stay tunned !

Baby Announcements

I had a friend that sent picture of her new born baby
So I decided to make this simple gift for her
There is a mixture of stamps set TAC and SU , I just cut the paper and divided in equal parts, the ring on the cover is from TAC also.

Today was so cold in here and we had some snow in the morning tomorrow after work
i go to AC more with a friend she is going to show me where is it, oh boy ! that is dangerous.
Keep warm people !
hugs

FlipFlap Album decorated

Ok I had this album before empty finally I decorated !
It talks about actually my love and I printed some pieces of a Brazilian song
and some journaling , not all pages are here but you can have an idea.

The stamps I used from My favorite things set I just got. As soon I saw this set I think was a love set :)
Very pretty !
The parts of song says: "you;re this way a dream to me
my smile is more beautiful with you...
you are this way .... a dream to me and so many other things..."
That I think makes more sense in portuguese...
I put the song for you guys to listen, its not the actual clip but is the same song that i 've used the lyrics from, I hope you take 2 minutes to relax and enjoy the song.
if you never heard portuguese take a minute to listen this beautiful language ;)

Bind it all project

Hi everybody

Well after some of my coasters arrived, I bought a bunch of 4x4 coasters medium weight.
I decided to do this cute little project, to myself and my love ;)
Its not decorated yet, after when I finish decorating I will post so you can see the difference.
I think the best thing to beginners like me to work in a project like that , it is to use kits that come together, and these kits are great because they do all the work for you, I told before also I receive monthly like 3 kits, and after feeling sorry to use the wonderful paper I decided to put my bind it all to use :)

The kit from this project is from Zany Zinnia,
most papers are from sassafralass. The bia wires are 1/2 "
you can see the tutorial for this project here.

Dont forget our TAG challenge !
