Rock On Birthday

Hi Friends,

Life is good when you are having fun. Been really exhausted recently and feeling a little overwhelmed, Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with my blog. Trying to get myself a little organized with 2 jobs and Dance for Anju, and Soccer for Ro and Church activities for the Sunday School Kids. But slowly getting back to the groove.

Made a birthday card for one of the Xray techs that work with me, he has a side job being in a band, So I figured I would make a Rock on birthday card. He really like it.

Got my inspiration from a Mojo Sketch.

The Stamp Set and Dies are all from Papertrey Ink.

Well, Happy Saturday

Anniversary card

Happy Wednesday

Making this card is for a special person to me, she is what I call my second mom. When my mom was at work, she would take care of me when I was a little girl. I was actually her flower girl when she got married in India 35 years ago. Wow, besides being cousins, her daughter and me are like sisters. I love them both.

To make this card, I wanted to do something fairly simple. I found the cardstock from Joanna DCWV Lemon stack, combined it with PTI lemon Tart, Used the Simply Chartreuse card used the Spellbinder Parisian motif. I love this die cut. For an extra touch, I put liquid pearl around it.PTI stamp: Mixed Messages.

Have a wonderful day

Happy Birthday Mom, Make it Monday # 13 : Impression Plate Trick # 2

Hello,

First of all I wanted to say Happy Birthday Mom. My mom is a very special person to me. She is the person that made me the person I am today. She is full of love, kindness and strength. She is a disciplined woman who thought my brothers and I to be strong, confident and creative in life. This card I made for my wonderful Mom.

Papertrey ink has a Make it Monday challenge. So, since I love papertrey I wanted to try their challenge. The challenge is to use the Impression plate and the Dies together.I was a little hesitate, didn't want to damage the plates, but I tried it anyway.I loved how it turned out.

This is also the first time I made it a round card. I saw a good friend of mine do a round card and I wanted to try it myself. Thanks for the inspiration Papertrey.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Girl's Baby Shower Card

HI,

I really loved making this card,it's bright and colorful. When I got this stamp set from Verve Stamps. I couldn't wait to use it. The color choice was a little difficult for me to think of. First I found the ribbon, which I loved, and then I went from there. Making baby showers cards are fun. This card I made was for a first time mom. The little animals and so adorable, being an elephant fan, I couldn't resist. I used my copic markers to color the animals. The baby print pattern on the Aqua mist cardstock, is from a Fiskar embossing template . I found the dolly from Target and used that for the border.That's all for today.

Have a Awesome Day,

Diana

Papertrey Button Challange

Hi,

Let me just say I wasn't really planning on doing this challenge because I had no time today. I had no idea what I was planning on doing. Then I remembered that I had Papertrey's Baby Bits Stamp Set. I haven't used it yet, so I decided to try it. I was so busy today with work ,and the kids had to do their valentines cards for their class. We decided to make cute treat bags for the class. The kids got to use my stamps and make something special for their class and teacher. By the time I had finished everything it was getting late. I started working on the challenge. I used the baby Button stamps, it is so cute. I will get into to more details later on tomorrow. But for now, just the photo. Hope you like it. Tell me what you think under comments.

Thanks,

Diana

Mother's Day

Let me tell you about three important woman in my life.

My mom, and my 2 aunts.
My mom is an amazing woman, she is an inspiration to me. Since I was a little girl, I always looked up to my mom, she was a hard working Registered Nurse. She supported my brothers and I when my dad was having a rough time with work, in the mid 80's. No matter what, she worked hard and cooked for us. Somehow she made sure we were doing well in school. In this day and time we need a lot of help, to do things. She always made sure we can do what ever we put our minds to.
My Aunt Mariamma is also a wonderful woman, when I was little and my parents were both working, she came from India and stayed with us for a while before her marriage. She help raise me up. Now she has 2 great kids, who are just like my brother and sister. Her daughter also helps me with my fun crafty projects. My aunt has such a great heart and is a loving person.

My aunt Sally is also a wonderful aunt. When my brother was about a year and I was about 4 years my grandparents decided to watch us in India for a couple of month during summer before school. My aunt was just a teenager and help take care of us then. Now she help me take care of my kids, when I need her. She is also an amazing cook. Her daughter is also like a sister more then a cousin to me. Her daughter love to Spoil my kids.. Her daughter and I love to doing stamping and also helps me with all my crazy crafty projects.

I wanted to something special for my mom and aunts, so I made fruit baskets, used the cookie cutter for some of the fruits and made something healthy and light, which they loved.

I also made a card.

Which was so much fun to do.
