All About Love "Mini" Album



Okay, here it is! The "mini" version of yesterday's album.  I really really love this one.  I didn't want to create a "Valentine" album at all. I wanted to create something versatile that can be used for "husband and wife", "mother and daughter", "friendship", etc.  I think it worked.

 

The album measures about 3 3/4 x 6 1/4, it is definitely a "mini".  I used the small paper bags found at Michaels "Celebration" brand.  The paper line is Authenique "Devoted". Flowers used are I Am Roses and ribbon is from Stampin' Up!

 

 

It's Friday, I hope everyone has a FABULOUS weekend. I get to go scrap with my girlfriends tonight!  Take care everyone and see you soon!

 



All About Love Album

So I re-created this album that I saw on youtube from "mysistersscrapper" using the binding method from Laura (followingthepapertrail) and I absolutely love it. 

It was very time consumming at first but once you do this album one time, you can repeat it again and again very easily. This definitely takes a LOT of paper, but it is definitely worth every penny.  I really enjoyed making this album. You will create more than one of these for SURE.

I created a "mini" version, that I absolutely love how it came out.  Now you know what my other post will be about tomorrow. :)

I used two paper lines to complete this album (Carta Bella and Stampin' Up).  Paper bags from Michaels the "Celebration" pack.

One down, one more to go!  Take care of everyone and see you soon!

2013 CHA-Anaheim Recap



I know it's been a while since my last post, and I do apologize for that, I've had a lot going on these past months and hoping to catch my breath and relax soon.

 

Last month I attended CHA-Anaheim and I must say it wasn't as exciting as the previous shows. There wasn't really anything that stood out to me. I was so looking forward to some new products to try out. Wait, take that back the WeR Memory Envelope tool looked pretty awesome! 

 

I did like the Teresa Collins lines/stamps, Graphic 45, AE Studio Stamps, Lawn Fawn Stamps, and of course some Tim Holtz.  Definitely going to be adding these products to my collection.    

 

For those of you who are doing Project Life and haven't had the pleasure of being introduced to AE Studio Monthly Stamps subscription, this is definitely a MUST have to your PL album.  I absolutely love love these stamps, besides the fact that, they go great with PL and are also great for card making and scrapbook layouts.  

 

Enough talking now, below are some of the pictures that I took along the way. I do apologize if some of the pictures are not clear, my hand was shakey that day.

Well I think that wraps it up for now.  I took over 300 hundred pictures and because my hand was so shakey most of them came out blurry.

 

I hope everyone is having a great week because the weather here in California should be beautiful upto the weekend.

 

Take care of everyone! 

 

 



CHA - Anaheim 2013

Hi Everyone:

I will be going to CHA-Anaheim this year again, but this time I am only going for a day (Saturday).  CHA starts on Saturday, January 12th, 2013 and ends on January 15th (I think). I will be taking my good camera and plan on taking lots and lots of pictures. 

I will try to take as many pictures as I can of all the new products coming out this year as well as some of the "youtube" superstars! Woo hoo!

I'm hoping I can cover all of it within 6 hours.  Hmmm! 

P.S.  I also here that CHA-Summer 2013 will be in Las Vegas this year.  I might just have to make that trip. :)

Take care and talk to soon!

God-Daughter (Mercy Sofia Diaz)

Hello Everyone:

Today is a special day, my god-daughter (Mercy Sofia Diaz) was born at 7:08 a.m. I think she is pretty lucky girl, she gets to share a birth date with my brother.  My brother thought Mercy should be named after him "Renee". LOL!

I am going to have SO much fun being a "Godmother".  It's definitely an honor for me, and I'm SUPER excited. Since I can't have children of my own this will be the second best thing for me. She looks so much like her daddy in these pictures.

Okay, can I tell you I have seen this look on Joey Coco Diaz before. 

OMG! and this one as well.  She is just like her father. 

Until next time! Take care everyone!

Amazing Artist

Hey Everyone:

So last year in the month of September I had the pleasure of meeting a very very talented artist. I believe she is 17 years old and has no art experience, whatsoever. She is SUPER sweet, smart and very talented. I want to share some of her pieces with you guys.

Here are two of her canvas pieces. The canvas on the right is her brother and the guy on the left is an Irish poet (I think), anyways, isn't she amazing.

Here is another one of her pieces.  She drew these two characters and colored it as well.  I love it.

These are some of the things I enjoyed last year. I am hoping she can do something for my craft room, I'm just not sure what.

Until next time!  Take care and talk to you soon!

Cookie Exchange Party Recap

Hi Everyone:

I had a cookie exchange party in December, which was so much fun.  I got to bake and cook, which is always interesting, what I mean when I say "interesting",  I tend to try new recipes, which isn't always a good thing for me. I need to do a trial run before serving it.  Lucky for me it turned out pretty good.  Below are some of the pictures of the table, cookies, and the little thank you gift for the girls.

This was our 2nd annual cookie exchange, I am so looking for to our 3rd annual cookie exchange.  I have BIG plans for this party.  :)
