Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! Thanks for your visit today:)


My first card of 2011! Last year I did not have enough time to devote to my passion for paper, because I have a lot of other activities. This year I hope to spend more time with my wonderful hobby. The issue is where to get the time: fewer hours to the family? or working hours? or sleeping hours? I would love to know how do you do with this lack of time. Nevertheless it is one of my New Year’s resolutions:)

I made this card with the Mojo Monday Sketch with a new drawing I did recently and I will take the opportunity to enter it in other challenges.

Happy Snowman

Hello! Thanks for your visit today!

This is my new Christmas card...

I love to put snow in my cards! Where I live there is no snow at Christmas. It is a bit nostalgic thinking about Santa Claus in his sleigh on the snow and it was my frustrated desire since I was a little girl. I would love to see a little snow out my window, of course not much, because I have seen how some of my friends are suffering from the cold and heavy snowfalls, even before winter arrives.

I made this card using the Mojo Monday Sketch and the Happy Snowman, a drawing that I made for the occasion. I usually use typical colors on my Christmas cards, like green, red and gold, but in this case, as I will enter the card in other challenges, I used other colors.

Card supplies: Image © of EdithDesigns, German metallic blue and silver cardstock, K & Company Winter Wonderland designer paper, Sizzix Sizzlits snowflakes Die, snowflake punch paper, Cuttlebug Polka Dots embossing folder, Duncan snow paint, translucent glitter paint, silver metallic ribbon and, of course, my sewing machine:)

Snowman, A gift for my friend...

Today I gave Max a break:)

I made a card with this cute Snowman and his friend, the little mouse. I spent much time and many stitches in this card. As always, I used a sketch of EdithDesigns (that is me!). The image was printed multiple times for a 3D effect and I painted it with watercolors and metallic acrylics. I also used dimensional paint with glitter.

Inside, besides the blank space to write good wishes, in the left side I sew a pocket and added a tag. This pocket can also be used to insert a gift card.In this card I used:

Image from EdithDesigns, Bazzill cardstock, K&Company Designer Paper, miscellaneous printed paper, Caran D'Ache watercolors, metallic acrylics paints, Tulip dimensional puffy paint, Fiskars Christmas punch, silver metallic ribbon, metallic silver thread, scissors, sewing machine.

I will enter this card in:
