My confession book....

This weekend was very productive craftwise, because thats mostly what I did and it feels awesome, clicking on links today I somehow arrived at Shimelle website and loved the projects and faster that I´m saying it I started making the I have to confess book, it was fun and I had a blast making it, it calls for 6x4 pictures but I decided to use wallet size to have extra space and I love how it looks it took me all afternoon but thats cause I stopped to eat lunch and recharge the mojo.

I´m double happy cause I only used things that I had in my stash nothing new or bought for the project, all of the stuff I used was pretty old and it feels good to see it looking nice in an album, there are several pages so I made a little slide so the post is not huge and also you can see them and read the journaling on My flickr page My confession book.


2Peas Challenge:
Describe one of your birthdays as a young child

The one I remember the most was when I was 5 since my birthday is ver close to Halloween (oct 28) my mom made me a Halloween birthday and I dressed up as a black cat and I remember it was a lot of fun, here in Mexico you get of course a piñata and the food for parties is typically a little tamale, some spaguetti a little roll filled with cheese and a slice of cake and is a total delicacy that your cake frosting touches the tamale and you eat the salty tamale with frosting, I still do it when I can lol.

Hope everybody has a great week and the weather gets warmer where is really cold and cooler where is really hot, take care and be safe.

Waterfall cards and sweets

Well haven´t been all that crafty lately I know bad Lida lol, but really wanted to try the Waterfall card from Splitcoast Stampers and I am hooked, I made one at the office with my nephews stamps thats why the very rustic look and with elements I had there (not too many) and I loved how easy it was and how cool it looks.

Yes rustic indeed, no eyelets there or nice stamp but it was just as much fun.

Then I made this one at home, stamped the flowers and painted them with watercolors, double the fun.

Then finally this one that I really love, stamped the images and color them with markers and did some doodling around the edges and loved the colors and background and all.

So I plan to make some more cause its really fast and funt to make them.

This is how the Lollipop Heart Rice Krispie treat turned out, look good and were pretty yummy.

And a picture of our leftover mix turned into regular rice krispie treats, really really yummy.

And a very artistic close up, look you can even see the calories lol.

The 2 Peas Challenge is: Where do you see yourself in a year...

And honestly I rather not say, this last couple of years have been a rollercoaster of events and the plans I have made for the year or the future get on hold because of several situations, so as long as I´m on planet earth, healthy, happy and with the one that loves me everything will be fine.
