Mojo Monday 131 When Life hands you lemons

Hello friends! It's been a while I have not post projects in my blogs. It is not I have not been busy...It was my camera!! But with a borrowed one, here it is my Mojo Monday interpretation:

March Pals Hop: Spring Time

Welcome friend and visitors! If  you've hopped over from Kalshelia's blog, I am stop number 17 on the Pals Hop  and you are almost at the end of  the road. I am sure you have found a lot of beautiful projects and inspirations for your Spring and Easter projects, and wait until you see what Carla have in house for you!  Your comments are SO VERY APPRECIATED!!! Please, leave some love along your way!

As for past hops, I have prepared three projects also.  I do not want to make this a practice because I not always have the time, the energy or the inspiration to do the three, but I always end by doing them, but well, I was happy doing them for all of you so here they are.

 I made the card, the embellished candle and the matching box for the candle, all using papers from the Sweet Pea paper pad from the Occasion Mini that I find a Super-Duper Value.  All those beautiful two sided papers!!.  I found the project pretty spring-y, after all, in Puerto Rico, were I live, we have no really marked Seasons, all year long it is green and warm! But my husband....he told me the colors were not Spring-like.  I really appreciate his sincerity but I already had made  my projects...so, I had to made two bonus projects just to ease my conscience and please him, after all, if I ask for his opinion, I should be able to hear what he has to say, don't you think?  Both ways, you win, more projects to get you inspire no matter how you visualize Spring!

 

The card is made with papers in the free paper pad "Welcome Neighbor" from the SAB set, bitty buttons and gross grain ribbon.

 

The treat box was made with the BigShot machine, the Pillow Box die, satin ribbon, oval punch, "Ocho Saludos Geniales" stamp set, Word window punch, Designer label punch, Sweet Pea DSP

And now, don't forget to stop at Carla's blog, you will not want to miss it!!

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.
