Hello Crafters!
Today is a very special day because we celebrate the birthday of someone I really admire and appraise:  Ann Butler

Ann and I we met in person during CHA 2015 in California and meet her in person has only confirmed all my expectations I had for her. A fantastic, precise, with a great heart and a lot of patience creative! Ann is one of those - maybe a few - people who in spite of everything is always there, she is always there to help, advise and give suggestions to improve your craft works.
All her years of experience in the craft industry can be seen from a mile away. The way she moves around people, the way she talks....I was really fascinated!

Today, along with the other Design Team girl, we decided to make her a little surprise... Thanks to Larissa, who always guided us perfectly, we are doing  this Blog Hop in honor of our "boss".

I created this card with one of my favorite mix of colors. Yes Yes...I know I know... I used pink!!! People sometimes change their mind :P hehe

The products that I have used are:

• ColorBox Crafter's® by Ann Butler : Sunshine / Berry
• ColorBox® Art Screens - By Ann Butler : Stars
• Ann Butler's Stamp by Unity Stamp : 2'' Leaves All Over

 Using Dylusions Spray Ink I added some splatters using the same colors of my background..


Again, Happy Happy Happy birthday Ann, I love you!

Hello Crafters!
Finally it is friday! Today we have the second challange over CAS-UALCHIC! Last month theme was "Embossing" and you can check out the card I made right HERE.
What does it mean? In this challenge we want to celebrate pretty patterns. That could be patterened paper, a pattern stamp such as chevrons, houndstooth, etc or even stamping your own pattern. Just use your imagination and creativity.
As last month, the rules for this challange are easy peasy. You do not have to use CAS-UAL FRIDAYS STAMPS or DIES to take part of the challange (although of course we would LOVE to see how to use them!)...anyway, you can read the rules HERE.

REMEMBER that you can always take part of the CAS challange that you will find at this link (the monthly theme is the same ad this one)

Here's the card I made... 
To create my background I used stamps from the CALM AND LOVING stamp set,  I just LOVE this circle of scattered hearts!
Both the background and stamped images are made with SILKS ACRYLIC GLAZE by ColourArte.




What do you think about it? Also make sure to take part of the challange, check it out here ->  CAS-UALCHIC

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!

Hello everyone!
Today is the first friday of the month, and as each month, this means a brand new challange over Take it Make it Design -- challange blog of Craft Stampers Magazine.

For the August Challenge, we would like to to use your pens and pencils on your projects! You could draw or sketch a design, or use the pens and pencils for colouring. Copics, Distress Markers, Spectrum Noirs, watercolour pencils, paint pens and markers, whatever floats your boat! You could add detail with fine liner pens, gel pens or smudgy Stabilo pencil..... the only limit is your imagination! Remember though, there MUST be real stamping on your project. Digital images CAN be used, but must be used alongside  rubber/acrylic stamping. Have fun!

I created this JUMBO super colored tag!




I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!
