Create with Connie & Mary Inspiration Challenge 109

This is my second post of the day. It is my first visit to this blog, Create with Connie and Mary, and I haaaad to play.


I love these colors, and WOW, I loved the DT's creations....they are absolutely gorgeous. This was the inspiration and below of it you'll find my card.

Color Combos Galore

Good Morning:

TGIF!! Another week that goes by....it's amazing how fast these two months of June & July have finished.....AND MY VACATIONS TOO....ughrrr!!!

Well, but such is life. My card today is for the Color Combos Galore Challenge #153




This is a fun challenge because it combines colors and they always have a twist to it. In this one the focus is on typography. My inspiration for this challenge is BABY, because two of my lifetime friends have become grandmas this month: Doris to a BABY boy and Marie to a BABY girl. Congrats to both on my behalf!!


Enjoy your day!!

Fun in the Sun

Hi.....I'm back from my small vacations. I really had some time off to share with family & friends, and to celebrate my hubby's birthday. Woooohhooo, he turned 50!! We had a small surprise party, which was a REAL surprise to him because we sang to him a couple of days prior to his real birth date. Its said that this can bring bad luck, but we don't believe in bad luck, so we just went ahead and it was really fun.


Well now on to my layout. This was my double page layout for this weeks sketch over at Scrappin Silhouttes. Jenniffer has posted Silhouette #6 so you can play along and show us what you came up with.



Remember, you can give it a twist and your personal touch. The silhouette is given so you can have a starting point, but you can interpret it in any way. You have a week to create your layout, just be sure to link your project by Tuesday at 6pm.

Let's see what you come up with.....enjoy!!

Embellish Color Challenge/Crazy4Challenges 46

This will be my last post for this week. I'll be away for a few days so I hope you enjoy.




This layout combines the Color Challenge and Ric Rac from Embellish Magazine and the Crazy 4 Challenges C4C46.



I followed the sketch from Scrapping Silhouettes 5. This was much fun to do. Have a nice weekend.

Curtain Call 39

Oohhh....lightly sunny here in PR....we have had sooooo much rain, it's always good to have a little bit of sunshine.

This morning I woke up and immediately got crafty. Yes, before I leave to run some errands, I had to make something for this Curtain Call {39} Color Challenge.

I have been following Stacey Schaefer's blog for a couple of months now, but this is my first time participating in the Curtain Call. It was fun the use of these colors, of course they go together very good.



Wanna play along? Yes, you still have time to link your creation until 11:59 pm midnight. So join us, I now you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Have a wonderful day folks!!

OLDIE

Hi there again: Second post of the day. I'm getting a kick out of this. This card was done a while ago, buy like I told you before, I don't know much about blogging, so now is it that I am able to upload it.

With it I participated in a Stampin'Up! card swap back in May. Hope you enjoy.

MAKING IT PART OF MY DAY

I am trying to make it a MUST to post something here at least every other day. This way I keep my self practicing on this blog thing. To be honest, I have no experience at all and what you see here I have been able to do it just by guessing. WOW!! It's been hard though. Hopefully by the end of the year, I will be a little bit more experienced blogger. Let's just keep our fingers crossed!!

Have a nice day!!
