A layout for my childhood friend and a Bday card for my sister in-law

Today I created a Bday card for my sister in-law. I used my newest cart (a gift from my BF). It has become my favorite!! I used Accent Essentials for the scallop and a square for George. I welded them using my Gypsy. Paper is regular cardstock and patterned paper is DCWV. I also used the cuttlebug.
I also created a LO for my childhood friends who I found thru Facebook after almost 20 years. One of the sisters, Dalia, hooked us up with loads of Cricut carts. As a thank you Gaby (my BF) and I are creating a few LO. This is the first of many to come. The title of this LO reads: "Flower Power" the reason for this is that all their names are names of flowers in Spanish: Azucena (not in picture), Margarita, Dalia, Rocio, Flor, Violeta and Azhalia. I love these pictures of them!! I cut flowers from Accent Essentials andone other I can't remember right now. Paper is all Cloud 9. Used bling for flowers and on the edge of pictures and I also used popouts for flowers.

Organizing and Clean Mats!

Today, I had promised myself (actually, last night) that I would scrap. I really love the LO that my best friend is doing for her niece and felt inspired. BUT... there is always a BUT when you have 4 kids!! I got to cleaning my scrap room and organizing many things that still did not have a home. I am so proud that I was able to finish!! YEY... but, in the organizing of it all, I realized that I buy stickers because they are so darn cute and not necessarily because I am going to use them!!! I have over 120 of them, some since 2000!!! I want to say I feel guilty, but not really! They look awesome on my wall. After I was done organizing I needed to clean all my Cricut mats. My best friend (again) told me to wash them with really hot water and a bit of soap. I used the green side of the dish sponge and cleaned them, it was so easy!!! After that I dried them with a towel and let them air dry. To re-glue I used Martha Stewart thick tip glue pen. I am letting them dry overnight. I have done this before and they work just perfect! Here are some pictures of all my doings. Oh! I also organized all my loose ribbons!!

My Best Friend is the BEST!!!

I wanted to share with my followers that I received an awesome gift from my best friend Gaby!! Ever since this cartridge came out I said it was my favorite. But ever since it came out money has been tight. I am so excited to share this with you and really want Gaby to know that I am truly thankful for this gift. Here is my first card with the cart. I used the idea from Emma from My Creative Time. I really love her stuff and I especially love that she show how she does all her things on the Gypsy!!! Here is Gaby's Thank You card.

POTM for my niece Ciaraney!

I convinced my brother to buy from me Basic Grey's(BG) Page of the Month Kit (POTM). But, in order for this to happen, I have to be the one putting together the kits! Fine with me!! :) Here is March and an extra one I created instead of the April kit.

Cards for my sisters and my mom

I made these cards for my sisters and my mother for mother's day tomorrow. In Mexico, Mother's Day is celebrated on the 10th! So, today my hubby took care of the kids while I created these cards!! I love making cards!!
