Prioritizing

| cristina

I’ve been trying to catch up my P365 pages and making this a priority. I love to have these pages done and can’t wait to be caught up and start thinking about getting them printed!

Week 10 is already halfway done, so I have about 4 weeks to catch up with.

Another Collab!

| cristina

For the third week in a row Molly DeCrow has a fabulous new kit out, this time a collab with Studio Tangie!

Not only it the kit 35% off for a store-wide sale, but you also get the add-on for free!

Here’s what I made:

Love U

This kit is so cool, I just kept adding bits and pieces to my page and couldn’t stop! 🙂

So Many Projects, So Little Time

| cristina

I never seem to post these on time, but I have been doing very well in my Project 52 Cards. So here’s the past three weeks.

P52 Cards - Week 11

You can see the Week 11 card here. I made a thank you card because DH organized the perfect romantic weekend: gorgeous hotel, spa, shopping spree, and even a totally unexpected gift (a necklace)! It was just lovely!

For last week, I made him a Bunny Spring card. Actually, we were at the grocery store and he was about to buy an expensive card to send to a friend of his, so I told him I’d make one instead. I asked him what to put on it, and he said he wanted bunnies – which worked out just right because I was using a bunny kit on another project. I told him I needed a sentiment so he picked one. And then of course after making a flat version to be mailed to his friend, I also made a prettier one (i.e., dimensional) for DH. 🙂

P52 Cards - Week 12

You can see the Week 12 card here. It was my first time making an accordion flower. I love how this looks, but it was a bit of a pain to put it together, since I don’t own a glue gun. So I made do with glossy accents, and lots of patience. 🙂 But it turned out really cute!

Finally, I gave him this week’s card last night when he came back home after a 3 day trip.

P52 Cards - Week 13

You can see the Week 13 card here. I am in love with this little card!

Being all caught up with this P52 Cards project makes me feel even worse about my P365. I only have 8 weeks scrapped so far, so this means I have 4 weeks plus the current one still to scrap. I really need to make this a priority, or I’ll never catch up!

A Couple of Cards

| cristina

I have a couple of cards to share from the past couple of weeks. The first one is a very simple little card made with Sahlin Studio goodies.

The texture of that paper is to die for!! Next, a card I made to celebrate the first day of spring, last Sunday.

Isn’t this bunny adorable? I used glossy accents on the carrot.

Mari Koegelenberg is at it again! She has a new kit out today that is 100% adorable! It’s also 20% off so you don’t want to miss it:

Isn’t it just the cutest? The birdies and the flowers are gorgeous! Here’s a page I made with it:

And since Mari’s designs are fantastic for hybrid, I made a simple card too:

It’s so easy to put together a LO or a hybrid card with these gorgeous designs!

Summer Squeeze

| cristina

Yes, indeed, we had a few inches of snow here yesterday. Today’s a beautiful sunny day, but the chilly wind reminded me of when I used to spend time on ski slopes, half a lifetime ago. 🙂 Really cold! Anyway, the new collab by Molly DeCrow and Tracie Stroud was just too yummy to pass:

It also comes in a huge bundle to get more goodies and save $$$:

And there’s an add-on too (and you get it for free if you buy the kit or bundle!!):

So I used it to scrap one of my favorite pictures from last year, that I hadn’t scrapped yet:

Snow or Summer?

| cristina

It’s snowing here right now 😉 but the new collab by DeCrow Designs and Tracie Stroud coming out tomorrow has gotten me in the mood for summer! 🙂 Here’s a sneak peek:

and if you go here you can have a chance to win it! 😉 I will share the full preview and my page tomorrow, I can’t wait!

He Loves Me {Yes He Does}

There’s a new great date pack at The Lilypad today by Sahlin Studio:

It is really cool and versatile! Here’s how I used it:

I’m so glad it’s Friday, I have not been faring well at all this week. I’m blaming daylight saving time… 😉

ETA: I got a GSO on the ScrapMatters gallery standouts blog for this page. 😉

Live Your Dream Today

| cristina

I swear I say this of every kit Jenn Barrette creates ;), but her latest collab with Dani Mogstad is the best kit ever!!! Check it out:

The colors and patterns are soooo amazing! I was inspired to do my very first ATC ever, for a challenge I saw on the simply ArTistiC blog.

ATC Live Your Dream Today

I loved this design so much that I turned this into a card as well, but I am not finished with it yet (I’m doing more stitching on that one and I haven’t had time to finish it; we’re going away for the weekend so it might be a few days before I post it). Truth be told, I decided to make a card mostly because when I prepared the digital version of the ATC to be printed out and cut with the Silhouette, it covered only half the paper, and I somehow cannot force myself to print and/or cut if I’m not making the most of my paper (is there anyone else out there who does this?). I wonder if I’ll ever get over this! 🙂 And for this time I glad I didn’t, because as much as I LOVE the ATC, I love the card even more! 🙂 I added some distressing and I think it’s turning out really cool. Well, enough talking for now! 🙂 OK, no, there’s something else I wanted to tell you. Do you see the glitter on the one pinwheel? I wasn’t planning on adding it, but since I fought with glossy accents quite a bit (I was trying to use it to glue down the pinwheel pieces but it wouldn’t work, and it ended up tearing some of the paper) I decided to use it to cover the oopsies. I think it turned out really cute! It even passed the DH test: feeling wary after the staples incident, I showed him this ATC and asked him if it looked like there was anything amiss. He said everything looked pretty cool. Yay! 🙂

Jenn also has two new releases in her shop today (both are re-releases and they’re both gorgeous), go check them out! Here are two peeks of what I did with them a while back:
