Guest Designing Fun!

Hello My Friends! Hope you're all having a wonderful time crafting your little hearts out!

I know I am!  Especially since I was asked by Mai Larsen to be a Guest Designer 

for a fabulous group of ladies! 

I found them at a new Facebook group that I was invited into...

"Creando Con Detalles"

CCD is a group dedicated to bringing together crafting Latina from ALL over.

I've had the opportunity to meet and befriend the sweetest bunch

of ladies from many different latin countries and communities!

Recently the group merged without another lovely group of ladies.

This second group is lead by a very talented and sweet young lady... 

Sherri Baldy

She is the artist and owner of Sherri Baldy Stamps.

I'm flattered to have been invited to create a Mother's Day Card for them.

They sent a lovely assortment of goodies and a couple of adorable digis,

and so I got right to work!

Here's the card I made for them, and some extra info on how it all

came together!

 Fleur de Lis - I finger painted the Folk Art paint on the button, and

then embossed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang's Cosmic Pink Blue

I'm really happy with how it came out - I hope you like it too!

 The digi is adorable, and she was a lot of fun to color up!

Thank you Mai & Sherri for the opportunity to play along!

Abby's "Dilo En Español" Challenge #6

It's time for Abby's next challenge!

"Dilo En Espanol" Challenge #6

The theme is use the color BLACK!

Abby will give the winner 50 yards of Twine!

25 yard of black twine & 25 yards of any other color you'd like!

Here's my project... I decided to use a black, purple, and teal combo:

I normally use designer paper... but this time I decided to just go

with plain colored cardstock.  I thought the color combo was striking 

enough and didn't need a whole lot more :)

I'm pretty excited about how it turned out... and

 Abby's senti added the perfect little touch!

If you get a chance you should go on over to Abby's

challenge blog for all of the challenge details.

Have a great weekend filled with Scrappy Good Fun!

Hugs,

Yvonne

I Am Roses ~ YouTube Challenge for April

Hi Guys!

Just wanted to let you all know that I Am Roses has posted

their new challenge for the month of April.

This month's challenge will require a video response attached 

to the April Challenge Video posted on the 

I Am Roses Design Team YouTube channel.

You will be required to use I Am Roses products

to create a new and original flower!

At first, I must say, I was stumped... I mean really,

why make some when the selection is already so 

awesome, right?  But then I got started, and I couldn't stop!!!

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and a lot

more fun than I had anticipated!

So here are some pics of the flowers I came up with:

So my friends I suggest you give it a shot, I promise you'll 

have a good ole time... here's the link to the

 I Am Roses YouTube video:
