Sunday project and some exciting news!

Hi! It's Sunday again, and that means it's time for another Sunday project -which it's usually a 3D project.

But first, I want to share with you an exciting news related with today's project: I started to sell my creations in a stationary store near home. Since I'm making a lot of notebooks and cards lately and don't know what to do with all this stuff, I had the idea to show them to the stationary store owner and she was delighted and very interested in get some for sale on the store!!! I was jumping for joy!
So, today's project were two exhibitors, one for my little 6x9cm cards and one for my notebooks.

This is the card's exhibitor (I love this template!).
It can hold 10 of them or 5 with their envelopes .
I was playing again with the notes of the scored paper and the title "Little notes" ('notitas' in sp)

The front view:

And this is the notebook's exhibitor. It can also hold ten notebooks.
As it's bigger and suppose to hold more weight, I've variated a little bit the template for security.

So, what do you think?

Nature's present and a Spring style Bath Set.

Hello there! How's going your week?

We had a nature's big present this past monday: a huge and wonderful Snowfall! It was like a storm, with crazy wind and a lot of snowflakes all day long. As this one has been the first Snow we had since arrived here, two years ago, you can imagine how I enjoy it! Of course, I went outside and took a few pictures for share this joy with you, although I know by now you all are tired of snow around you!

This is me with the snow up to my ankles (and a big smile!)

The wind don't allow me to open my eyes!

This is how the streets looked covered with the whiteness.

And this is me, again, enjoying a hot tea in my room after the ride. You can see the lamentable state of the pine forrest near my window after the snowfall. The pines could not resist the temporal and many of them fell down. So sad!

And for my craft, I've been working in this little bath set for get the spring spirit into my tiny bathroom. Love it!

The altered box of cotton sticks.

And my new "Good morning!" organizer for toilet stuff.

Wishing you a week full of joy, as mine has started!

ATCs keeper

Hi! It's Sunday again! Don't you just love Sundays? It's a day full of promises for the week!

I usually find myself with a lot of energy in this days, and I like to use it in some 3D project. It's the kind of challenge that I appreciate!
Today's project was this box for storage my ATCs. I've been making a lot of this lovely cards lately and I've come to need something for keep them clean and save. I know the custom is to keep them in a traditional cardkeeper, like this one, where you can see them like in a gallery, but I don't have it, and -you know- I love to make my own stuff!
For make the box, I've recycled some medicine boxes, and for decorate it used comun A4 orange color paper, Toga's patterned paper and two beautiful brads from Artemio.be.

So, here you have my completly new, simple and shiny -just my style- ATC's keeper, in my lately fav Orange color:

Have a charming and productive week!

The music of saving.

Hi! Happy Sunday! (How I love to say that!)

In current times save money at banks is completly necessary, but save some coins in a money-box at home is always a good idea. More than once, this coins pull me out of a hurry!
My Sunday project has been this money-box based on Feng Shui. Actually it's not a box, but a sweet corn empty can covered with my favorite musical patterned paper (an allusion in this case to the sound of coins falling into the can).

According to Feng Shui's theory, to attract money to your house you need to use red and golden colors, and metal or metalized materials too. The front focal point in my project is a chinese letter that means "Metal" or "Money", and I cut it in golden metalized cardstock...

This upper view shows the paper flower decoration... A reminder of life's beauties!

What about you? Do you make savings at home too?

A Paper Christmas (with a paper Christmas Wreath Tutorial)

I’ve been busy these days preparing Christmas presents, but even so I’ve found time to make some ornaments for our home, like this Christmas Tree based in Tracey Mason’s design (although hers is ten millions times more beautiful than mine!):

I used two kinds of wrapping paper (same design different color) for the “triangle leaves” and a piece of cardboard for the interior cone. For the star: golden cardboard. Also put some golden glitter (with glitter pen) in the curled white ends… and that’s all! Really easy and funny project… and it looks great! Thanks Tracey!

With the rests of paper I made a Christmas Wreath and, although simple, decided to share this “tutorial” with you.

1. Cut a ring from a strong cardboard using your desired measure for your wreath (doesn’t have to be perfect!)

2- Cut several leaves of paper, each one with a slit like the one shown in the picture. Put a glue drop in one side of the slit and paste on the other side.

3- Put another glue drop in the bottom of these end of the leaf and paste on the cardboard ring as shown in the picture.

4- As your goal is cover all the cardboard ring, paste one leaf in the center, one to the left and one to the right… and so on.

And that’s all!

Finally, decorate as you like… (Everything I used in this wreath is paper and cardboard… nothing else!)

Do you like it?

Organizing with two cans and some colorful rests of wrapping-papers. Nothing special, but it feels good when everything is in the right place!
