Today is a special day!!

 

 

ello Helloooo!!!! Boy oh boy! It has been a long winter! Yeap I have been away for far too long from the blogsphere…gosh I miss you all so much! I will share a bit more of the backstage and what have been happening over here in my neck of the woods…lots of people to thank also for their support! Today I have something very special to do…join the CMC Design Team to wish Suzanne J Dean a fantastic birthday!!!

If there is one gal that you can count on for the good the bad and the ugly is Suzanne! I am more then happy to call her my friend (right bestie? LOL). Not unusual for me to end up with my cheeks hurting from laughing so hard when we manage to get together. Even when we are apart we have a ball…distance is not an obstacle for this lady…we manage to keep in touch through out her travels (and crazy adventures!) around the US. A true entrepreneur she is an inspiration for young ladies out there.

On your day Su I wish you a lot of health and that your wishes will all come true! The rest is I know you will conquer! Cheers my friend!

So here is my gift for you Bestie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Suzanne Mobil!! LOL Kidding! Well I wish I could! You would look lovely in this wild thing! HAHHAHAH. For sure all neighborhood will know where you are HAHAH.

For now I am sending this virtual card…wishing you a colorful and splash FULL birthday!!!  You  bring so much joy to your friends…it is just fair on your special day you have a load of fun!

It is good to be back crafting! I am so glad to be back (specially for such sweet occasion!). I missed my markers, papers and glitter!!! I have a lot to catch up!

I feel a little rusty on my coloring..it happens when you lay the pen down for a while…but the passion still here!

Gilli painter in “Mermaid colors” (I am just going with the flow and I will pledge the 5th in case I am called in as witness in sanity case LOL) to celebrate Su’s bday!

I hope you enjoyed this little project and thank you for coming by! I MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!Please don’t forget to stop by the bday girl blog and wish her tons of good vibes!!!!!!!!!

Holiday wishes

inter is here! Unbelievable but we did get some snow a couple days after winter arrived. It looked so pretty! It melted away already but the best pics are the ones you did not take..right? ; )

Well lots of celebrations going on…Merry Christmas for dear friends that are celebrating today with their loved ones..and happy new chapter for all of us. The world did not end! BUT Regular old new year is creeping out on all of us..so you better hurry up if you still need to tackle and put some check marks on your 2012 list LOL. No don’t tell me you already have a new one going on? LOLOLOL Everyone does!!!  What is your FUN New Year resolution? Organized Craft space anyone?? LOLOL

I prepared this little project inspired by the magical aura that people seems to get this time of the year. Touch back with innocence past that once again resurface : ). No matter what you celebrate..you play the dreidel, you décor the tree..you feast in abundance for Kwanzaa…it is time to gather and enjoy love in its essence. Wishing that this feel could last every single day..in moments that life challenge us.

For this project I used a Gilli Fairy rubber stamp colored with copic markers and decorated with dies from Silhouette cameo. The little ornaments I made by hand..just any round cut will do it..you just have to embellish your way. : ). Papers from Authentique..one of my favorite lines of paper (you can find  at Oozak). Lots and lots of glittah! Hey it is the season (but if you follow me..glitah is a whole year season for me LOL).

well I will keep this post short but soon a new one to rise LOL. For now enjoy your real gifts…blessings and hugs!

If you have  a little time on hands don’t forget to drop by The outlawz! Greeting card challenge is rolling and it always fun fun!

If you did not get your Cameo from Santa or through the eight nights of Chanukah….you still have a chance at color me creative!!! The holiday bash still going on..but it won’t last forever sooooooo check it out!! Good luck and have fun!

Huggies!

I hope you will find time to stop in and look around, join in and just have some fun. The Holiday Bash is really my way of THANKING ALL OF YOU for your continued support, friendship and patronage to the Classroom. So a lot of fun and a way to WIN SOME HUGE prizes from our sponsor!

 

♥ Starting today Dec. 7th with a Holiday Blog Hop featuring projects by the CMC DT to kick off the month-long CMC Challenge!! And another way for you to win if you hop along! Don’t forget to leave comment on each blog to be eligible!

♥ Every week will be a NEW Challenge and Prize...think scavenger hunts, puzzles, games!

ellooooooo! Thank you for coming by! I bet you are having  load of fun already at the CMC bash party! So how many people have you visited yet? Now the cool part is there is a lot more to go! Have you seen the CRAZY good prizes? Also a ton of inspiration and fun!

Wasn't Karen's project divine? Yeap my fellows DTs have their way with markers..Don't you think? LOL

So here is my contribution to the party...I know we are still a little away from it, but honestly days are going by so fast that maybe this project is not so far ahead of schedule! Since we are on a party mode..how about go into a NEW YEAR'S groove! AHA!

In my book all that sparkle and glitter suggest party time...Gilli is dressed for the occasion. Doesn't she look like a "Dream girl"? LOL. Yup her metallic plus sparkly sequins dress was all colored with copics. Nothing like metallic sheen and sequins to makes you have 'Supreme" glam!

Also who doesn’t want to start a brand new year wishing upon a gold star? I do! The little golden stars (Cut with Silhouette cameo btw) were colored with copic..Markers are my best buddies! LOL. If you would like to learn quite a few tricks about coloring you definitely should take a look at Color me creative classes. You can study on your own time and there is a whole network to help you out all the way through your journey…not forgetting the fun biweekly challenges!

Back to the layout..I used four different embossing folders to create all the textures in the card. The circles and ovals were cut using Spellbinders and the bubbles and numbers were die cuts made with the Silhouette Cameo. Toss in a super cute Sea foam glitter and voilah! The show can get started...Shall we start the countdown? LOL

I hope you enjoyed this little project! I will see you soon...in 2013! LOL I told you it is around the corner! LOL 10..9..8..7..

Wait...there are more people to visit...you can not miss that out! Head off to Marti  and be inspired!!! She is awesome!!!!!

Super hugs!!! Thank you in advance for your feedback..I love to hear all your comments! Leave a shout out so I can visit too!
