For this favoulous challenge, I decided to use Pink Gem Designs' file "A Fairy Nice Day", which is super easy to print, cut, layer, and voila you have nice birthday card:

 I took this picture at night, thus my lightning is not great

 For the inside of the card, I decided to create some balloons with the reminder images of this kit.

 Here a better picture with more lights.

 Here you can see the layers,

 Here my daughter personalizing the card.

 Her final result.

The other side.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card.

For this hop, I decided to go all monochrome with a little bit of white and lite purple:


I stamped the 3 different rectangles with FSJ stamps, and had 2 of them embossed with a hearts embossing folder from CTMH.


For the inside, I used a Annie's Attic sentiment from their monthly card club advertising:


These were my supplies:



I hope you enjoy this hop and keep Connie and her friend's family in your prayers.

Pile It On! #126 - Hearts on Fire

Dear scrappers,

There is a new challenge at Pile It On:

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

The theme this fortnight at Pile It On is Hearts on Fire (Hearts, Fire, or Red/Orange Color Scheme, Chinese New Year of the Fire Rooster, etc.) Have fun with the theme!








We're sponsored by Pink Gem Designs, and one lucky participant (chosen from challenges #126 & #127will win 2 digi stamps/card toppers of their choice! The Top Picks for this challenge will be announced on February 26 and the Prize Winner will be announced on March 12.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Here is my project,

A combination of upcycling/recycling and a minialbum:








I made both for my children's school Gala. For the basket of our classroom, which was a massage package and some jewelry both donate by the other room mom.

Here are my supplies, from a swirlydoos monthly kit and first I wanted to use the Graphic 45 box displayed here, but I change my mind:




 I ended up suing these dies instead:


 The box is from a Prada perfume gift set, which had that ribbon already:

 I used some of the Prima flowers included in this kit to add some shine and texture to the box., as well as the heart chalkboard toothpicks.


I wrote down  the title of the basket: Beauty  and Bling:



This is the final Result.

Here with the mini album besides it and jewelry displayed:



The second part of this project is the mini album: ( I will have a Snapguide ready to explain the details of this project.)




Here the inside pages with the open hearts or closed as envelopes:











Here the back cover with my signature stamp:

Again both. And the final basket as was sent to the Gala:

And the back:


I hope you enjoyed this pkrohcts and come back to see the link to my Snapguide.
Many blessings

One lucky winner will win a $15 gift certificate for her shop!!
Be sure to visit her website HERE.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

For this challenge, I decided to use some CTMH products first and tomorrow, I will show you my DT project using FSJ products:

I was taking a class by my friend Gloria and she did this card, but I decided to modified and use it for this challenge:


I did some 1st and 2nd generation stamping on the border instead of my friends only 1st generation stamping. 
I also stamped in the same tone the heart, I added behind the "O" of the diecut work love. 
(this heart is the negative of the heart outline, I used in the border)

Here a closeup:


for the inside, I did some more stamping:


This stamp set is a the CTMH January stamp of the month, to be found here at Connie's shop. The same with the papers, thin dies, and sequins.

I hope you enjoyed this fun and easy card.

Many blessings

Vicky Tovar
