Mickey | California Adventure LO | Housecalls by Scrappin Madge

I am back sharing a scrapbook layout I created for Housecalls by Scrappin Madge (formerly Heartstring Designs).

I am still using the Hello Gorgeous kit.

The paint drip paper is so perfect upside down it looks just like the colorful water of the fountains at California Adventure! Love it!

 I was there for the Little Mermaid's HD release party California Adventure had just a few days ago.
My pictures look much clearer and brighter in person and match the paper oh so perfect!

Using my Silhouette Cameo I was able to cut the title to show the negative.  I used the starred paper as my title background.

I, using 3 circles was able to design a Mickey silhouette and cut it in Vellum to create one of the oh so trendy vellum pockets full of confetti or sequins.  I cut two and did some crazy stitching.
The smaller Mickey silhouettes were cut with a Mickey punch.

I was able to incorporate the Little Mermaid's print I received that night that was given as a limited memento to pass-holders.

This is September's Hello Gorgeous kit

Haunted Manor | Dia De Los Muertos | DEE 2nd Anniversary

Welcome to my blog and to Dilo En Español's 2nd Anniversary Celebration!!
With LOTS of prizes!!!  and all former DT members participating!!
 Bienvenidas a mi blog y a la celebración del segundo aniversario de Dilo En Español

Hope you just arrived from my friend Xochitl's blog but if you are here just visiting and wish to participate, please start at the beginning HERE
Espero estén aquí después de haber visitado a mi amiga Xochitl.  Si solo están de visita y gustan participar, por favor empiecen AQUI

I so wanted to have been able to showcase every single of my favorites stamps DEE has to offer, but was only able to create with a few super fun ones for this celebration.
 Me hubiese gustado mucho haber creado con todos los sellos de DEE pero solo tuve tiempo de crear con unos cuantos para compartir con ustedes durante esta celebración.

For my first project I put together Svgcuts' Maple Manor Mansion and added the super cute and not spooky at all "Brujita Feliz" (happy little witch)
Mi primer proyecto es esta mansión de Svgcuts a la cual le añadí la lindisima "Brujita Feliz"

 These are the pictures I took at night with a candle on the inside of the house.
Estas fotos las tome de noche con una vela dentro de la mansión. 

And these are some many :)  of the pictures taken during the day time but still inside my house.
Y estas son unas cuantas que tome durante el día dentro de mi casa.

Since is my play house :) my house is in Paris!  Love the look of the Eiffel Tower on the background.
Como es mi casita/mansión de juego yo digo que se encuentra en París!  Me encanta come se ve la torre de Eiffel detrás de la mansión.

Side view.
Vista de lado. 

The "Papel Picado" is from the "Mary La Catrina" set.  I heat embossed each section, cut them and adhere them to a piece of white crochet thread with fabric adhesive.
El papel picado es de el set Mary la Catrina.  Yo repuje? o gofre? en caliente cada sección, los corte y pegue con pegamento para tela en hilo de tejer blanco.

I fuzzy cut the "Brujita Feliz"   I stamped the dress, hatband, hat and star on pattern paper/cardstock.  The hat I stamped using white ink instead of black.  I colored the hair, skin and broom with Copic markers and added a bit of glitter to the star and ponytail bands using a Sakura gelly glitter pen.

I also heat embossed the sign "Home Sweet Home" from the "Home Sweet Home" DEE first "Say it in English" set that has recently been released.

And there is a surprise!!  Yes! the tower's roof opens up and I added some decorated kisses!
 Una sorpresa!!  El techo de la torre de la mansión se abre!  La pude llenar de besitos decorados!!

I heat embossed them with white embossing powder and Versamark.
I just love them! specially the Dia De Los Muertos ones!!  ... and of course if you know me, you might know that I love dark chocolate (pronounced in Spanish, ha!).
Me super encantan los besitos decorados para el día de los muertos!! y mas que son besitos de chocolate obscuro!! (o se dice agrio?)

I did not have enough time to create or finish "Frankie de miedo" and "Mary la Catrina" but will be adding them to my "casita"/mansion soon!
No tuve tiempo de crear a Frankie de Miedo ni a Mary la Catrina pero se los voy a añadir a mi mansion en los próximos días.

And one more project that my sister needed help with and we were able to finish yesterday... lollipop covers using the sentiment from "Brujita Feliz"  I love it that it is bilingual!!! - FELIZ HALLOWEEN -
Un proyecto mas! Me super encanta que el sellito FELIZ HALLOWEEN es bilingue!

Just need to purchase the lollipops and put it together.   My sister plans to give them to her DIL which happens to be my nice, so that she can give to her students.

Coffee with Paulina | Dilo En Español

Bienvenidas a mi blog y a  "El Baúl de Andrea y Dilo En Español Blog Hop"
Espero estén aquí después de visitar a Yoshira.  Si llegaron de visita solo a mi blog pero gustan participar en el hop, empiecen en Dilo En Español.

Esta es Paulina una de nueve muñequitas creadas por Orlis

A mi me gusta tratar o crear nuevas cosas o intentar algo que nunca he intentado y esta no es la excepción.  Hoy les presento a Paulina sellada con tinta Brilliance en papel/tela burlap.  Selló de maravilla.  La colore con Copics y fue muy fácil.   Me hubiese gustado mejor usarla en un mandil o una bolsa o blusa... porque la tinta Brilliance y los Copic después de planchar se pueden lavar.

  

Utilice botones de madera que Abby vende AQUI en su tienda.  Los dies/troqueles/suajes son de PTI y de MCT. 

No me puedo ir sin antes presumirles compartir con ustedes la hermosura que me llego de sorpresa el miércoles por la noche.  

 Y si que fue sorpresa!  Es mucho mas bella en persona!....  la tarjeta también! ;)
Si Yoshira es una persona super linda que conocí en el primer scrap de DEE.  Yo solo le pregunte que en donde compro el sello de la camarita que le obsequio a mi comadrita!!

 Y miren todo lo de mas que me incluyo!!!

 LOVE them!! 

MIL GRACIAS YOSHIRA!!

Sigue mi amiga la talentosa Lizeth!!

Hello Gorgeous kit | Layout and card

Super excited to be September's guest designer for Housecalls by Scrappin Madge (formerly Heartstring Designs).

 To get a closer camera shot the green ends up looking greener, but it is more like the first picture.

And this is the card

Home Sweet Home Release Blog Hop | DEE

Welcome to my blog and to the Home Sweet Home Release Blog Hop from Dilo En Español   I hope you just arrived from there. 

I am so proud of my BFF, my comadrita Abby because actually, this is the start of "Say it in English."  Abby was encouraged by a very sweet person that just loved the images to start a small line of stamps in English.  She will probably have a set every couple of months with stamps in Spanish remaining the main hot items. The illustrator of these darling images is Lizeth from Super-Scrapbook.  Lizeth is from Guadalajara, México and owns her own paper line with the same name.

 OK on to my projects.  As soon as I received this paper from MME I knew I would be using it with the "casitas" (little houses) as soon as I received my stamps.  If you follow my blog you know that I keep a Project Life | Life Documented journal.  This year I have not shared on my blog and I am a bit behind but, I am still keeping my PL | LD journal.  Additionally, this year I still could not come up with my "title" page but as soon as I saw this paper in combination with these adorable stamps that were coming my way, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for my title page.  This is my title page for 2013.

 All the stamps you see here are from the set!  The paper with all the white chalk frames was perfect for the chalk effect and the perfect size to stamp the cute houses and phrases!

 Here I just added or doodled some hearts with a red pencil.

 For this area I used the "Live in harmony" stamp from the set and for that oh so typical of a cassette side A I used the square stamp using black ink and the A using white embossing powder from the set "tu crucigrama" newest set!  Yes I grew up with cassettes! and I love music so this is just perfect for me.
I hand stitch the "hello" word and die cut the rest.

After I finished the above project I, not being too happy with my white ink stamping thought on creating something else.  So I set out to create this card using mainly an embossing technique.

 

I almost did not share this card because I "ruined" the embossing of the clouds... yeap! why did I decide to add the clouds after I had assembled my card with the 3D adhesive? oh yeah, I did do that!   LOL  So I set out to do a third project.

I remember I had some pictures of my grand daughter Lauren playing with her house Christmas day, so perfect for my layout!

I had so much fun creating this layout with lots of stamping and glitter!
Lots of stamping and paper piecing of these cute cute houses! It was time consuming and labor of love for sure! I paper pieced the windows, doors, trims and part of some roofs.

For this cluster of houses on the below picture, using a masking technique and memento pen inks I was able to add the lamp and cute flowers.  phew! I most definitely needed and used my reading glasses!

"Mi casa es su casa" is a dear to my heart phrase because I grew up in a culture of very welcoming warm people.  We love and enjoy being the host!  

Hope you enjoyed my projects and provided you with some ideas to use this super cute and versatile set (also available in Spanish).

PRICE!! One lucky person will receive the stamp set "Home Sweet Home" and 20 yards of the new solid colors from the The Twinery brand.
