Hello everyone!  Thank you so much for all the love given to the " googly-eyed skulls " card that I made for the current challenge on the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog .  Remember, you have until September 22nd to add your own card to the "Anything Goes" challenge.   Today I have a super simple and special card - for a special lady.  A friend of mine asked me to make a card for her aunt Maria.  Maria loves to garden and is always telling people here "Onde uma flor cresce há esperança.", which basically translates to "where a flower grows there is hope".  When she told me this I immediately thought of this set by Gina K. Designs that has the same sentiment!!   Then I saw that the current challenge over on the Addicted to CAS Challenge Blog is all about "florals".  So that's where I am also entering this card. I started by placing a piece of white cardstock into my Misti.  Using black ink I stamped the two images ...

Hello everyone!  Gosh, what a strange few days this has been.  Yesterday we celebrated  May Day here in Brasil - kind of like Labor Day in the states.  And, since a general nationwide strike started on Thursday (don't ask), it was like having a 5-day weekend.  But the (somewhat) quiet allowed me to be productive and enjoy some recent wins.... First, my CAS Wedding Card from last week , where I used that beautiful image from Gina K Designs, was chosen as a winner for the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #96.  Second, my "You Hog My Heart" Card from last week , where I used the dies and stamps from MFT Stamps, was a winner on the CAS on Sunday Challenge Blog !!  And, third, I woke up to find out that I was a random winner in a contest on the Stamp Junkies Facebook Group!  Cannot wait to see what I get.  A big YAY to me and a big hug to all of you guys for keeping me creative on this blog! Today I have a super easy CAS birthday card to sha...

Hello everyone!  Happy Sunday!  I wasn't planning on doing a post so late today but we got up early and headed out to find a field of sunflowers we had heard was in bloom.  Sunflowers are my favorite flower and after getting a bit lost we found the field.  And spent hours taking photos and roaming.   Here are a few of the shots I got this morning. I made this card last night after purchasing a bunch of digi stamps from Bugaboo Stamps  that I had in my wishlist.  They are having a sale - 70% off - until....I think midnight tonight...and this was a sale I could not pass up. Bugaboo is one of my favorite digi stamp shops and I hope you check them out.   I am entering this into this week's challenge over at Addicted to CAS , which is their  Challenge 97 - Stitched  - I started by printing the " pup balloons " digi image by Bugaboo Stamps on a sheet of A4 white cardstock and trimming it to an A2 card size. ...
