HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Happy Valentines day my scrappy friends.  What will you be doing to spread the LOVE today?  Being single on this day is not always fun, so I have to create my own kinda fun.  I decided to create projects for my family.  A few weeks ago I posted the candy caddy I made with a Dove soap box and a matching card.  Last nite I got busy and made my daughter a treat box using an old A7 envelope box.  I decided to leave the flap on and use it to add the card I had made her during Friday nite chat over at Scraps of Color.  I filled it with lip gloss, socks, blinged headband, blinged earrings and candy.  Next I created a treat box for my sister using an old wheat thin box.  I put a few sheets of bling, dark chocolate (her favorite) and some Lindors white chocolate.  Can you tell I like animal prints?  Anyhow, I am also having them all over for dinner too.  We all like menudo and tamales.  Thank God we have Mercado stores here.  What?  You thought I was gonna slave over a hot stove.   Not this chick, I got crafting to do.  Have a great V-day all and thanks for stopping by.

It's almost Here

Just one more day til Valentine's Day.  Tell me single folks, what do you do on this day and is it a pleasant time for you?  Being single myself, I try to be as positive as I can and do things for the people I love most like my daughter, mom and sister that lives near me.  I have made goodie projects for them and will invite them over for a Valentine dinner.  Love isn't always  about being in LOVE. 

I am so done with making V-day cards. I sold 18 ordered cards and made about 15 others. I need a V-day break now.   Anyway, here are the last of the cards I made. As usual, thank you for taking the time to stop by.

THAT'S ALTERABLE

I am still playing in the "That's Alterable challenge over at Scraps of Color.  This month we were to use a toilet paper  roll to make something with.  I chose to make party favors since I was co-hosting a Valentines Day Brunch this past Saturday.  I covered my tissue rolls in V-day papers and embellished with bling, hearts, lace and trims.  I filled each one with tissue paper and filled with candy.  Who would have guessed that a simple toilet paper roll could make a nice treat.  Thanks for stopping by.  Peace out.

Friday Nite Chat at SOC

Hi folks, just got done hosting Friday Nite Chat over at Scraps of Color http://scrapsofcolor.ning.com
Had alot of fun and a good turn out to participate.  For those that don't know what this is, we get together in the chat room on Friday nites and do some 30 minute challenges and alot of socializing. Feel free to join us sometime.  We had an image challenge courtesy of Robert Jackson http://www.fineartsbyrobertjackson.com/.  The image is called "Serenade"  I love this image.  The other 3 cards where for the 30 minute challenges.  Thanks for stopping by.

HELLO KITTY PLUS 1

Hello, hope everyone is having a great week.  As for me I have been feeling a bit sick and also extremely tired.  I think I have over extended myself this week as I have to complete 15 cards for other people, host Friday Nite Chat over at Scraps of Color ( have to create and make the projects for 3 challenges) and I am helping my friend host a Valentines Brunch on Saturday morning which requires that I make a few things.  Anyhow, enough about me. 

Here are two of the cards I completed.  One is a cricut cut that was given to me by WrinklefreeDiva over at Scraps of Color.  My niece loves Hello Kitty so this is for her. I think I will enter this into Mema's Crafts dollie challenge  http://memascrafts.blogspot.com/2010/01/february-challenge.html.  The other is an image called School  Boy by Robert Jackson http://www.fineartsbyrobertjackson.com/new-digital-arrivals.html
Have a great day and peace out.

THE COLOR OF LOVE

Hey scrappy people.  Over at Scraps of Color http://scrapsofcolor.ning.com/ they have a blogger challenge going on with a new theme each week.  This is week 7 and the theme is " The Color of Love".  We are to create a project using the colors Red, Black and white.  This is such a lovely color combination.  I created two cards, one using an image I got a couple of years ago and the other one is one by Robert Jackson  http://www.fineartsbyrobertjackson.com/ called "My Man".  Thank you and I hope you enjoy.

THE BLOSSOMS

I must be a glutton for punishment.  I don't know why I am up at 1a.m. in the morning doing this post, since I am so tireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesd.  Anyway, I thought I should announce the winner of my frame from the post dated 1/22.  Random.org picked # 13 which was Princess Jones.  Congrats Princess and I hope you like it as much as I had fun making it.
Now, for something new.  I created two cards using images by Sherri Baldy https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=329634347153720&set=a.113644002086090.15087.100003214730981&type=1&comment_id=27519641#!/sherri.baldystamps
The first is Cherry Blossom and the other is Rose Blossom.  The are from her Besties collection. You would think I have given up my Afro style with all the Asian images I have been enjoying.  NOT.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
