Told You! A different card, the same sentiment!

Christmas 2011 #1

This is the first card I made this year for the Christmas season. You'll be seeing this sentiment quite a lot! It's one of the very few I have.

I'm back!

I can't believe it's been THREE months since my last post! I'm so, so sorry for that! No real reason for my absence, really. The beginning of the school year is always stressful and this year it was a little bit more stressful than ever! I guess I needed all this time to settle down and get used to my new routine! This year I don't have much free time that means I hardly have any time for card making. But I HAVE a job and I think I should be grateful for that, right?!

I'll be back soon with some cards that I've made for Christmas! Stay tuned!

Thinking of you

Very bright and happy, don't you think?

Sending you hugs and kisses!

I love the result. Have to practice using that background cling stamp with Versamark, though. :)

Happy Birthday

I'm so happy that I started making cards again! And this one goes to B. who's just turned 3!

This is as good as it gets

And a closer look of the card and of my cat! LOL!

I just love te way this card came out! Love it!

Mmm...Cupcakes For you....

I bought a few blending pens from Papermania a few weeks ago and ever since I have been playing with them. They are really fun to play with but I know there's still a long way to go until I learn how to take good advantage of them.

Fancy a cupcake?

I'm here! #2

And here is a closer look.

This card is about to be sent to Ireland, to my dear friends J. and P. who had a baby boy last month! Yeap, another one!

I'm here!

So many things happened in these last few months... It would take me too long to write about it!
But I'm back! And that's what counts!

Well, my dear friend, D. had a baby boy, actually her #2, last month! (Or was it in June?!?!) I'm terrible with dates! Anyway, I made this card for her...I haven't posted it yet, D. But I promise I'll do it soon!

Home sweet home

A friend of mine, M. has very recently moved in with her boyfriend! She is starting a whole new chapter in her life. I hope she is happy in her new home! Yup, M., this card is for you!

Aren't these colours just perfect for Lily Pad's Cards Challenge?

Hi, purrfect!

This one goes to a very dear friend who is a pet lover, like me!

Thinking of you

As I told you before, I have lots of paper and embellishments from Max & Whiskers Collection...

Being with you is so much fun

I really, really,really enjoyed making this card! It's so Springy! Using distress inks is still nes to me but I've been enjoying i sooo much that I think I'll use them more often from now on!

Flower Power

Lots of paper piecing!

One of the best things in life is a friend

I don't remember having made any other card so white!

Thinking of you

When Max & Whiskers collection came out (here in Portugal, I should add), I fell in love with it right away. Impulsive as I am, I bought loads of things from that collection. This to say that there will be many, many, many cards with the same kind of papers!

Be happy

I have a few card that I made over Easter break to show you. Here is one of my favourites from that bunch. One single layer, no paper piecing,no embellishments... Thank you all the tutorials I have been watching on youtube!

Congratulations

Hi everyone! I made this card for my dear friend, C. who has just bought a new house. I used distress ink for the background and a lot of paper piecing. Love it!

Hoping all your birthday fishes come true

Who's going to get this card?! Hummm...

Sending love your way

I had so much fun making this card and I truly like the way it turned out!

Wishing you a one-of-a-kind birthday

A simple card for a pet lover!

You're so sweet!

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying Easter break! I am!

Woof Bark

Isn't it cute?!

Happy Birthday

I just love butterflies!

You did it! + We'll ALL miss you

These two cards were made for the same person: a lovely friend who left to Timor to work for a few months! She's going to teach Portuguese. She was both very excited and aprehensive when she left Portugal two weeks ago (already!). She's just started being a teacher but I'm so sure she will do a great job there! And I'm also sure that she will learn more than actually teach!! Wish you all the best on this new journey, S.!

One of the best things in life is a friend

It certainly is!

a happy hello

A nice happy card with a different shape!

{There is no one like you}

I made this card a long while ago - I think it was before Christmas - and for one reason or another I forgot to show it to you! So here it is now for you to see!

You're the best

When I first looked at this sketch I thought 'How nice and how simple'! It was nice, indeed but it wasn't that simple! I didn't know what paper to use, what embellishment to choose... I simply couldn't make up my mind! After a looooooong while this is what I came up with! Nice and simple, don't you think?

love...love...love...

Lucy Abrams' Sketch Week - Day 4. Still two cards behind! Will time be my friend?!

Ups! The red patterned paper is upside down! Never mind! Love comes from all directions, doesn't it? ;)

Sending love your way

I've been trying to make one card for each of Lucy Abrams' Sketches but I haven't managed to make them all. This one is for Day 2. It is not as I had planned but I really like the result! Enjoy!

You make me smile

Another fabulous sketch from Lucy Abrams. This time is Day 3 of Sketch week. Here's my contribution for it.

Thank you

I wanted to make a simple card, using this sketch. Here it is!

See that furry black thing? It's my cat's tail. Every time I decide to take a photo of my cards, here he comes trying to get into them. Every single time!

All things grow with love

Hi there! Today is my 5th wedding anniversary so I thought I could make a card for my dear hubby. As I still struggle to make masculine cards, here is what I came up with! I used glossy accent on all the tinny hearts and water colour pencils on the stem and leaves. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Here is a closer look.

Just because...

Two cards in one day! I guess it pays off for those weeks when I have absolutely no free time and cannot make any card! I just love those strawberries! Aren't they cute?!

Love ya

Hi everyone! Time for another Valentine's Day card! This one has got a clip as a treat! Thank you for the sketch, and thank you for the inspiration!

Thinking of you

I really enjoyed making this card. I used glossy accent to make those tinny hearts pop! Enjoy!

You're simply the best!

It has been soooo long since I last posted! Life has been a wee bit busy around here! But well, here's a card I've just made thinking of Valentine's Day! Hope you like it!
