CELEBRATING SUMMER STEP CARD

I took a week off from work to be with my kids and took them to the beach and to different places before they are back to school.  For my surprise my youngest kid became sick and was hospitalized the whole week.  While at the hospital I finished this card that represents what I was planning to do this last week of their summer vacations.  I hope you like it.

OUT OF SERVICE

Hi, I will be "out of service" for a few weeks because I have to prepare a hundred invitations for a 50th birthday party.  I have to work late at night because I have a regular job as a legal-secretary, and then as a mom.  I will be posting the invitation soon and the drafts I made for it.  Thanks for visiting.

VINTAGE LAYOUT

Hi, this is a very special layout for me because it's the only photo I have with both my parents when I was a baby.  It is quite deteriorated, but I love it. 

Sorry about the light reflection, but I took

the photo late at night and couldn't  get the

right angle.  I hope that you can still appreciate the layout.

This layout enters the Frosted Designs Challenge.

CARDS, CARDS, CARDS

Hi, I have not been around many often lately, but I've been working on some cards and I've been doing invitations for a 50th male birthday.  And, believe me, it's not easy to make male cards, no glitter, no flowers, no pink, no bows, no nothing, aggghhhh, it's hard for me not to use at least one of them.  I'll show you later on another post all the drafts I made and the winner invitation.  But now, let me show you a couple of cards I made lately. 

That's it.  I hope you like them.

LAYOUTS

Saludos, espero hayan pasado un fin de semana del Día de los Padres junto a sus queridísimos papás, esposos, familiares, amigos, etc.  En fin, que lo hayan pasado bien.  Les había comentado que les iba a presentar unos layouts con los que había participado en los challenges del PRSB, pues lo prometido es deuda.  Aquí están dos de los LO's con los que participé.  Aunque no gané nada, al menos fue divertido prepararlos.

Este primer layout fue para el reto de Donna Downey en el que había que utilizar pintura acrílica y/o tela.  Quise hacer de fondo (background) un cielo-mar, o cómo yo me imagino que mi hijo ve el mar, pues a él le fascina.  En la foto está con los brazos abiertos y cantando una canción.  Me encanta verlo así tan feliz.

 

Este segundo LO fue para el reto de las Glitz Girls, estilo Shabby Chic, había que utilizar rub-ons y/o transparencias.  Aquí está mi chica el día de su Primera Comunión, me encanta esta foto porque se ve tan bella y tan angelical, como lo ameritaba ese día.

Espero les hayan gustado.

HI

I know I've been out for a little while, but keep in touch because next week I'll be posting some LO's that I've made for the PRSB Challenges and some cards too.  Thanks for your visit.
