I made a card !

A miracle I'm posting a card here :) Well I still do them but more as I need thing than just for doing. I actually still have a box full of cards from the time I used to do just cards but when I  don't find for the 

As the person was turning 30 I wanted something more artistic. 

The background is a left over from my gelli plate prints which I need to play more but I need new acrylics my acryclics were too old and were giving me skin issues. The stamp is a old one from Michaels. 

I've been neglecting my table I've been really in a low in a creative side I feel I don't have energy or want anymore because I really have been stressed and maybe I'm stressed because I stopped I don't know but even my husband said I need to go back because makes me feel better so I need to push myself. If you let this feelings can drag you. I don't like people think that it is because my son which yes we work hard here at home but I had this feelings before having children but it was a long time since I had my last one I would say more than 5 years "I don't feel like doing anything phase and I'm stressed". 

So I will do a massive clean up and push myself !

What about you does that happens to you as well? I hope it's not just me.

I still make cards !

Yes not always posting them because sometimes I'm doing last minute and I don't have time to take a picture really.

Using my supplies I donated a lot of them to one of my son's previous therapist she is a scrapbooker and has a daughter and I was not using them anymore because my style just changed.
Soon I will do a video to show what is left.
The stamp is from My time made  Easy.

Card/Photo Holder

Se você precisa de tradutor por favor veja no lado direito do blog.

Hi everyone today is Valentine's Day in Brazil and I'm participating of Creative Scrappers forum blog hop. And as I received Lucas official pictures from School I decided what a nice gift to send the pictures to the loved ones in a nicer way than just putting in a envelope this way they can display.
It's just a card size cardstock that is used as a display.

And the message going on the right side of the card simple and what matter most his picture and our message.


Next stop is Elisa who has a cute mini album.

Baby Card

Both Lucas' therapist from the hospital are pregnant so I got a little something for them, and decided to use a old stamp a long time I didn't use.
I'm reorganizing all my stamps and giving some way. I colored the image with sharpie markers.

My son got a virus from school and he was almost going to the third week at home, last week I thought he was better and the school called me to pick him up because he was with diarrhea again. :( So we are running labs this week to see what's going on.

So not much time here.

If you have a iPad or iPhone I saw this new class at Renee Pearson thought was a good tip to share I'm thinking to do this class. iScrap Class.

Fist Silhouette Project

Well, this is my first silhouette project ,yes I sold most of all my cricut cartridges and my gypsy and got a silhouette. I got very angry with PC for suing SCAL I think controlling costumers is their right but there's a limit I don't agree so I just got another machine. I still have my expression to use with some few carts and my svg files.

So far I have to say I'm really impressed with the cut I never had that clean easy going cut with the cricut. I think their mat is so much better and tons of cute designs.
So I got the sketch pens and I will play with those today and let you guys know. Very excited about those. Let me know if you would like to see some tutorials on the silhouette.







Thanks for stopping by and for your comments

Fly High Card

Simple Card I did loving the new stamps from Stamps of Life this set is called creations2fill has some cute flowers. With my short amount of time now simple cards are the way to go for me. 

Today was 9F (-21C) here in Central NJ I tell you freezing today feels like summer at 25F lol.

But maybe some more snow today. Yesterday was a emotional day I went down to pick up some packages with UPS and Lucas locked himself inside and left me with no keys, no cell outside. I got desperate and he got as well started to cry like crazy when he heard me outside and realized I could not enter the house. To end the story short police came and knocked my door out, I'm so buying a eletronic pin locker we will have to change the door so I will buy a more trustful locker, yes I won't forget my keys but you never know better have that.

Anyway, 

Enjoy the rest of the week

Hybrid Tag- Being Positive

Here is another Hybrid tag I  used this wonderful  set from Roben Marie Designs . Togetherness

The background is part of a technique I 've shown on Create Scrapbooks show. Check our recordings here. You don't need a facebook account to watch it.

Tomorrow I will start a mini album class and also we 're going to be giving away a $20 Gift Card from SVGCuts.com  if you have SCAL and cricut you're going to like what they have check it out !


On a more personal note I would like to apologize for not being so participant in visiting my blog friends.  I've probably  from now on  going to focus my time more on Lucas and my small free time to create as much as possible, Lucas is having some difficulties in his speech and his development. So we are working with professionals to help him. My focus is totally on him right now and will be for a long time till he can get to the stage he should be. I will continue creating because is my relaxing time and I need that to function but I don't have anymore so much free time to browse or to post everyday as you already noticed.

So   I apologize for the lack of comments.

And I appreciate you all stopping by and checking out my work. Well I hope you check tomorrow with Create Scrapooks  day show ! 12 p.m more info here.

Thanks
