So Much Sweetness!

| cristina

Mari Koegelenberg has a new, adorable, super-sweet kit out today! It’s 20% off today and tomorrow.

Look at those adorable glittery stamps!! They’re so yummy!
This kit was just perfect to scrap a couple of pages with pictures from this past Valentine’s Day! 🙂 I did a page with DH’s gift:

(he actually loved my Valentine coupons!!) and a matching page with my gift:

I really cannot understand my husband. He’s always complaining I spend too much time crafting, and then he gave me a laminating machine for Valentine’s Day! Does this make any sense at all??? 🙂
Then, when I was scrapping this page I asked him if it looked like a heart to him.. Of course, he wasn’t helpful at all – he said it looked like a heart if you have a lot of imagination… :-/ Yeah, right! What was I thinking when I asked for his opinion? Well, it certainly looks a heart to me and I had lots of fun making this page! 🙂

$2 Tuesday!

Yep, it’s Tuesday and this means there are some great $2 deals in Mari Koegelenberg’s store! Has Tuesday become your favorite day of the week yet? 😉

Many of the products for sale today were in Mari’s November grab bag, so if you missed the grab bag, this is a great chance to get them now! Here’s a LO I did showcasing a few of those products:

Hybrid Projects

| cristina

I have a couple of hybrid projects from last month to share. I am so proud of how these turned out! 😉
The first two were for my Secret Santa gifts (ugh.. my first gift got lost in the mail.. so I had to make new gifts.. :-/). I made a photography frame since the recipient is a photographer:

and a personalized scratch pad holder:

I sent her the penguin card too:

Then, I made some gifts for a Secret Valentine! 🙂 (this time the gifts arrived safely the first time.. phew!)

I made a matching card + candy dispenser 😉

Lemme show you some details:

And then I made her a frame!

Here’s some details:

I loooove my glossy accents!

Glitter stickles are pretty neat too!

I inked the prima flower since the color was too bright and it turned out just perfect for this project!

I have rapidly become a fan of distressing ink. A fan?? Let’s admit it: I cannot live without it!

And that’s it for my Secret Santa and Valentine! 😉 I do have some more hybrid goodness to show you, but I’ll leave that for a later post. In the meantime, if you aren’t signed up for the ScrapMatters newsletter, make sure you sign up, because I have a very neat project for the February newsletter, which is going out soon. 🙂

Snow Much Fun

| cristina

Yes, I am done with classes for the semester. No, I’m not any less busy, unfortunately!! :-/ I’m working a lot, trying to make a good impression on my new adviser, and on top of that, my mom is visiting. 😉 But, life is good, and I’ll be on holiday a week from today! Christmas is approaching way too fast..
Anyway, of course all of this has left me with no time to scrap. I only worked on a little crafty project for my Secret Santa (well, actually, I am the Secret Santa of this person, but you got the idea!) and I thought that would be it for the week. But then, I saw Mari’s new, fabulous, huge, amazing collection and I had to play with it right away! Here’s Snow Much Fun:

It’s the most fabulous winter kit you could wish for! The snowmen are just adorable, and the kit is jam packed with goodies. You also get 3 (THREE!) darling alphas and some fantastic brushes!
As I said, I didn’t have time to scrap with it, but I needed some cards so here’s what I made:

Mari has a new paper pack in her store, and it’s 20% from now until Friday. It’s just delicious!

I love it and made 2 pages with it:

Mari also unpacked her grab bag so if you haven’t bought the grab bag, you can still get these great products separately (and they’re 20% too!):

or you can still purchase the grab bag for $8 (it’s still a HUGE deal!):

Sorry for the long post, but these gorgeous products deserved to be showed off properly! 😉
