August OCS

Hello there everyone,

It's a beautiful sunny California day today. I wanted to share with you one of my recent creations. I made a card for the OCS. I have been partnered with Linda and we had a theme, which has been new to me. But I like it. Makes my creativeness work harder. I used the only thing that reminded me of an Asian theme which is a cherry blossom branch. This stamp is from Rubber Stampede. I also added some leaves and some bees to the cherry blossom stamp with another stamp from Judith's Stamps. You can see the original cherry blossom stamp on the inside of the easel card. I then colored my image with my Prisma colors. The background stamp that I used is from Hero Arts and it says Friendship. I added some Stickles to some of the blossoms, leaves and some bees. I lastly added some hemp cord and some pink jewels. I did make some other Asian theme cards with some stickers that I found recently. I will post something later with those. I hope that Linda enjoys her card once she receives it. That's all for today and I hope to post something else very soon before the summer ends. :)

Long Post and new card to share

Hi Everyone!
It's been a long time since I posted anything and I do apologize. I don't know what has been going on with me. I still create the only thing is that I just forget to post. In reality the computer that I am currently using is a drag. I don't like it. It has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it works great and others it just doesn't budge. Since I do work with computers all day and sometimes the system is also slow I just don't want to deal with the whole computer thing. I do apologize for not being able to post like I have in the past. My family and I have been great thanks to God. We have been trying to do as much as we can during the beautiful California weather. Yesterday we went to Huntington Beach, CA and we saw 7 dolphins in the wild!! That was such an awesome gift from God. I have always seen dolphins in captivity but never out in the ocean. I can just imagine what it would be like one day when all the evil and corruption of this world is no more. And once again God is the ruler and King. All the animals will be free and we can play with them without fear of getting hurt by them. But till that day we can still admire the beauty of these wonderful creatures.
I am currently working on some cool little cards that I will be giving to my friends at church for Friendship Day. It's on August 1st and lucky for us it falls on a Sunday when all the families are there! I will try and post some pictures of these later on. But today I am just randomly sharing some thoughts. Sorry for the long post and I hope everyone is appreciative of all the Blessings our Lord has given us. Till next time take care and here is a picture of a fold that I created.

Diaper Cake

Hi Everyone.. I know it's been a while since I lasted posted. I have no excuse just not into posting anything.. but today I felt like sharing a cake that I made out of diapers. There are a lot of different videos on YouTube on how to make these. But once you get the idea you can add your own touch. I made this for a co-worker who had a baby girl. This little bundle of joy came to her after 15 years! I am so happy for her and her family. I used a lot of baby items that I know she will need for her baby. Not to mention all the diapers that she will have to use the first couple of weeks.
I used flowers to add a feminine touch to it. I wanted it to look like a cake. I was surprised to hear that the ladies that attended her baby shower had never seen a diaper cake before. Everyone was very amazed to see something created with diapers. I was just happy that my friend enjoyed the cake. She told me later on that she loves the smell of baby diapers. The ones that I purchase had a baby powder scent to them. I also enjoy that smell. I enjoy the scent that babies have. Just so unique and tender.
This pictured has some of the items that I attached all around the cake. I used her favorite colors which are purple and pink. I think it came out good. I hope you can try and make one if the chance appears in your life. I hope I can start blogging again soon and share some of my life events.

Mother's Day Cards

Hi Everyone sorry for MIA... i have been very busy with life. I haven't had time to blog lately everything seems to get in the way.Well I made a few mother's day cards for a few people in my life and I am going to post two of them. I will try and get the rest from my camera posted. I changed computers and for whatever reason the camera and the computer are not communicating with each other. The pictures are from my camera phone.. so if there not clear.. you'll see why. Anyway I hope you like my cards. Talk to you soon.

Friendship Page for Debbie

Hi Crafters,
Another quick post today.. I wanted to share with you another Friendship page I created for Debbie from PCP. I used the Lollipop flower which I created from different types of fabrics and I used feathers to give it a little fancy. I used My favorite colors and of course a butterfly.. I love butterflies and I like to incorporate that in almost all of my creations. I hope that Debbie likes her page and I can't wait to receive hers. Talk to you soon

April OCS

Good evening everyone.
Just a quick post today. I wanted to share with you the card that I will be sending my OCS partner Alecia. It is done with designer paper folded into this beautiful flower. The fold is called the Dahlia fold and you can get many many videos on how to fold them on Youtube. I hope my partner likes it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Till next time take care,

Happy Resurrection Day! and Birthday Cards

Hi Everyone just wanted to wish you a very Happy Resurrection Day(Easter). I have been very blessed to see what God has done for me and my family. I am very happy to know that He sent His only son to die for me on the cross and pay for all of my sins so that I may go to Heaven with Him when I die. We celebrate this day to remind us that we Serve a Live God, He has RISEN and is in Heaven on the Throne.
