PPA 31 Inspiration Challenge

 

This is the photo for the Pals challenge and this is my interpretation:

Mojo Monday 127 Un nuevo Mañana

Hello Friends!  Thanks for visiting my blog, I really appreciate your visit and your comments.  This is my interpretation for the Mojo Monday Challenge 127. The sentiment is an almost literal translation of a sentiment I found in the internet, in English.  I made the layout in Picture it! and then printed it. All the paper and cardstock is from Stampin'Up.  Thanks for stopping by!

Thoughts of Comfort, Peace and Love

 

 Here is another Sympathy card made over the week-end.  I hope I do not need it.  It is not easy to contact someone when a loved one had gone but Sympathy is always appreciated.  The layout is from a challenge I found somewhere.  I do not remember where but found it very balanced and beautiful. In the inside I used rub-ons I had and never used.  I liked the final result very much.

Chose Hope

I recently was in need of a Sympathy card for a fried that lost his father.  All the cards I had stored was kind of femenine, then, I realized that I seldom make masculine cards but for an specific birthday card or Father's Day!  Well, this was my first attempt.

PPA Challenge Kiss

Hello friends.  This week the PPA challenge is all about simplicity.  Keep it Simple Sweetie!  Nothing more appropriate for me since I have been ill this week and in no mood to do anything.  In my card for today I used scraps of paper from previous projects, all Stampin'Up and Kraft cardstock, a scrap of ribbon and a piece hodgepodge hardware.  Nothing less complicated! But it turned out very nice.

PPA 28 Color Challenge

Welcome to another PPA challenge.  This week the challenge is about colors:  Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Black.   And this week I was featured as Featured Artist.  I am so honored! This is the card I came with:

I used Melon Mambo as the card base, the first layer in black and strips of different papers and ribbon.  I also used SU SAB punch and "Etiquetas de la Cosecha" stamp set.  This set is available in English, French and Spanish.  This year Stampin'Up has wonderful products to offer during Sell-a-Bration!  Stay tuned because Next Tuesday we are holding are monthly HOP featuring SAB products.
