Well, here is my project:

 I made this layout using Karen Fosters papers, stickers, and die cuts. This line was perfect for these holiday pictures, which I took in Galveston for Christmas eve (left side) and in Monterrey, Mexico for New Year eve (right side). I used an Sketch from Tami Sanders' PhotoFull class.

Left side inside the lap.

Right side inside the lap.  

 Some closeups of the embellishments, I used.

The letters are from the Echo Park alpha stickers.

The Papa Noel sticker is my favorite, as it reminds me of my childhood.

The same with the Nochebuena one... 

The New Year eve pictures were also special because It was my last holiday spent in Mexico, I was pregnant with my now 8 year old, and it was the first Christmas as a married couple for my sister in law and her husband.


Some more close ups:


And I left tons of space for my journaling, which I will add soon in my "Que te regalaron para Navidad" space:

I hope you enjoyed my layout and leave me and my blog hoping friends some love.

H2H Challenge & Thanksgiving Favors for the Teachers

Dear Scrappers,
I wanted to participate in this H2H Challenge since I saw it weeks ago. Finally here is my take:
I made this favors for my kids' teachers and aids. I used some precut boxes that I bought at StampAntonio awhile ago and wanted to add some tags or cards. Finally I remembered some paperclips that I bought at Walmart and made bookmarks as Thank you cards using some Sizzix die cuts and stamps combo. I stamped in the back the cute Thank You and my kids names using the CTMH acrylic stamps and inks. I attached the card to the paperclip using liquid glass (CTMH) and an hexagon shape cut. I sponged the edges of both cuts.
To embellish the box, i used old papers from CTMH (the felicity collection) and some sponging on the edges with coordinating inks.
For the main teachers,  I included a turkey nugget made at a friend's (CTMH) thanksgiving workshop, some holidays Starbucks coffee samplers and other goodies.
My kids made some foam bookmarks for their teachers as well. It ended up to be a nice activity for them too...
I hope you enjoy it
Happy Thanksgiving
Vicky

Halloween Artbooking Minialbum

Dear Scrappers,
Today I am teaching a Minialbum class using pages cut with the new Artbooking cartridge from CTMH.
I promised my students to showcase here each page:
I used the Spellbound paper collection from CTMH, stickers from Recollection, Stickles in black, orange, and silver colors, some Recollection glitter papers, some border die cuts from K Company, some ribbons and baker twine...
I hope you enjoy it and post your comends...

Halloween Shadow Box

Dear Scrapper,
I haven't post anything in a while.  Finally, here is a sneak peek to my next class.
I used some recollection glitter and metallic papers, some felt stickers for the fence, tree, and bird, some 3d elements from Michaels, and a shadow box also from Michaels.
I hope you enjoy it. I am already sold out for this class :-))
Happy scrapping to all

H2H Challenge - Go Green - March Entry # 1 and kids' teachers valentines

H2H is having a "go green" challenge, which could be interpreted as creating a green project or in my case recycling something old and giving it a new purpose. Last Valentine's day I took old Folgers containers (which I found cute and saved them) and used some elemental papers from CTMH, some cute heart  ornaments from Hobby Lobby, the Whooo's your Valentine and Monogram CTMH stamp sets, and the Art philosophy cricket cartridge to decorate them as multipurpose containers.
I also bought some Target clear plastic frames with post-it pads decorated similarly to go with the containers and completed the desk set with a decorated pen.
This is my first time participating in an H2H challenge and even though I am a CTMH consultant, I am my only client ;-)
I hope you like it
