2011-12-11T12:22:00.001-02:00

Hello Friends,
Today I have Stroll Gilli for the Red and Gold Challenge at House of Gilli Challenge Blog!
What a fun to play with those colors… So here is the card I made:

I colored my Gilli using copic markers: R46, R29, R27, R24, R20, YR24, YR23, YR21, C9, C7, C5, C3, E11, E00. Dont forget, you need to use memento ink pak with your copic markers so it wont bleed and ruin your image!
The gold paper I used is from a gift bag from a present that I received yesterday, I add it on a white cardstock so it would be thicker and then used my Martha Stewart heart punch on the border.
Cardstock, ribbon, rhinestones are from my stash. Sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! and Flowers are from Prima. On the gold flowers I added a bit of gold stickles from Tim Holtz.
I used red ink pad with my Tim Holtz felt applicator all around the Gilli.
I hope you like my card and come on over to play with us in a chance to win a bag of Goodies from Anary!!

Friends Forever

2011-12-04T09:30:00.000-02:00

Hello Friends,

Today I have a special project to show you!

Last weekend when I was in Brasilia I had a class with the very talented Raissa who taught me how to work on a scrapbooking page... as I`m used to make cards, specially with rubber stamps, this was a challenge for me.. to fill the spaces on that enormous paper. lol lol ... but it was so much fun!!

Ok, I picked 2 photos from last trip to USA last year and made a page that I want to frame and hang on my scraproom wall in my new house that I`ll be moving in early next year..

Ok, the only pitty is that there is a very darling friend missing from the picture we have taken with the Previous Design Team during the May retreat in Michigan.. it is C2.. I took a pic with her during the retreat but the pic is not good so I`m not posting in here!! I`ll have to wait for 2013 when I`ll meet her again and then we can take quite a few pics together!!!

So here is the page I made:

Top picture: from left to right: Kev, Hubby, Cindy and Me
Bottom picture: from left to right: Froggy, Wini, Cindy, Me, Janine and Meg

And here are a close up on the parts of the page:

I used here recollection brads, Martha Stewart punch, prima flowers and few goodies from my stash.

I`m entering my page in the following challenges:

2 Sisters: punch or dies
Divas by Design: anything goes
Simon Says: anything goes

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs & kisses

Ola Meninas,

esta eh a terceira semana da comemoracao do aniversario do Grupo MAM no yahoo e com ele temos mais uma brincadeira la no blog Desafio Mad About Magnolias. A responsavel por esta semana eh a Soraya.

Ela nos pede para mostrar a nossa colecao de Magnolias e como guardamos nossos queridos carimbos. Nossa, ainda lembro da primeira magnolia que comprei, foi a Tilda with Gingerbread...

Na epoca nao conhecida sobre copics e carimbeira, entao usei uma carimbeira que tinha em casa.. aquela quadradinha da marca pretty color, sabe... gggrrrr, que raiva.. a danadinha manchou meu carimbo novinho e a tinta nunca mais saiu... nas hoje nao interfere quando carimbo usando a carimbeira memento..

Aqui esta um cartao que fiz para esta postagem com a minha primeira Tilda:

e um close up no coracao que fiz em 3D:

nestabilitie Beaded Oval
nestabilitie Classic Oval

Sentimento - Stamping Scrapping Designs - label accents
Flores - Wild Orchid
Bailarinas e fita - marca nao disponivel

Bem, voltando a falar da minha colecao de carimbos Magnolia.

Nestes 3 anos, tentei varias opcoes de armazenamento e a mais eficiente foi coloca-las todas em uma unica caixa transparente, sem embalagem para nao ocupar espaco, assim quando quero uma especifica, consigo ver facilmente na prateleira qual eh a caixa dos carimbos magnolia e eh facil de pegar.

Hello Friends,

this is a fun post and there is nothing to do to a challenge card today!

Few days ago I showed you my happy mail and one of them was from my friend Gail who sent my birthday present.

I sent an email to her thanking her for the huge box and asked her permission to open the box so I didnt not have to be anxious for the whole month. lol

Well, she said: NO NO NO NO… I can wear the socks, play with other things I got but I do not have her permission to open it..

She also said I may shake the box, hold the box, sniff the box, run my hands over the box...but I may NOT open it… lol

Well, I told my Hubby what Gail said and He decided to make sure I was not going to open the box earlier so He is watching the box for Gail 24 x 7… lol lol

Here is a pic of him watching the box:

Well, now there is nothing I can do but desperately wait for Nov 19th!!!! lol lol

My Dearest Friend Gail, Rick has now hidden the box from me…I’m searching for it… but do not worry, cause even if I find it Rick is not going to shoot me with his playstation Socom’s game gun. lol lol

What Can I say??? Is Nov 19th yet?????? LOL LOL LOL

Thank you Sweetie for cheering us up!!

Hugs & Kisses,

Vivi & Rick

Aqui esta minha pagina mais proxima / Now here is my page in a closer view:

Desde que voltei dos Estados Unidos, separei 2 fotos que tirei com amigas para fazer uma pagina e colocar num quadro e na parede do meu atelier.. Esta foi uma delas...

Meu encontro com a Gail e Lillian foi inesquecivel, amei conhecer estas amigas virtuais pessoalmente e que este primeiro encontro seja o primeiro de muitos!! Escolhi 3 Tildas para nos representar.

Since my return from my vacation in USA, I picked 2 photos that I took with my friends to make a scrapbooking page and frame them and hang on the wall of my scrap room, this photo was one of them.

My day with Gail and Lillian was just unforgettable, I absolutely love to meet these 2 Ladies in person that I only knew by internet and I really hope this was just the first one 1 of many to come!

I picked these 3 Tilda to represent us.
