Hopefully you just arrived from Michele's Blog  if not, please start with Bobbi Jo

I made this card to surprise my grand daughter who is turning 9 and when asked what she wanted for her birthday, responded with "I want a laptop"! To which my daughter immediately interrupted and replied "you don't need a laptop, you are only 8!"....  I asked again, "what do you want baby?"... this time she replied with "I want headbands grandma".... and a laptop she will get!!!   What can I say, she is my grand baby!!!  --she will also get headbands from me, but in this card I will have to go purchase a stamp with a mouse because I will be giving her the headbands (headbands with felt flowers I have made for her) and this card with money in it so she can purchase a mouse... and she will have to guess what a mouse is for?...still thinking on how to make it fun for her to guess!

Card | Dilo En Español Release Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of Dilo En Español Release party!
Bienvenidos al día 2 de la celebración de los nuevos sellos Dilo En Español!

For today's post I am sharing an invitation to a baptism.
Hoy estoy compartiendoles una tarjeta/invitación a un bautizo.

Below you can see a bit more the shine on the stamped little feet and the pearlized cardstock I used.
Aquí en esta siguiente foto se logra disfrutar el brillo en el diseño y en el papel que utilice para crear mi
tarjeta/invitación. 
 
Why did I add money to my photo?  Well, glad you asked...  it is customary for the Godparents to throw money up in the air after the baby has been baptized. 
I stamped the image using Versamark and added some PerfectPearls powder to create this effect.
Utilice Versamark y añadí polvito PerfectPearls para lograr este resultado.

The picture above shows a more true to life color (but no shine).
En esta foto se disfruta el color verdadero de la tarjeta/invitación (pero no se logra ver el brillo).

Strike A Pose | Happy N Scrappin'

Today I have a two page layout that I created for
Happy N Scrappin'
using the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody Collection

This is my Lauren posing for Grandpa/Camera-- she loves to pose and make faces (I am amazed she smiled here instead of making silly faces or opening her eyes super wide).
I had lots of fun creating this layout --
I was able to use the cute brads, twine and embellishments included in this girly collection!
For this tag I used a SEI tag just by changing the cord to MME's twine.
This tag I had in my collection but you can find Tim Holtz tags at the STORE.
The journal card is from the Project Life collection I already had in my studio.
I added a sticker from the MME's collection and a Tim Holtz mini paper clip.
A closer look at the tag and twine (notice how I created the kite's tail with the MME's twine).
Here a closer look at the kite using the PP included in the MME's collection, some twine and an embellishment also from the collection.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!
