Hugs and Kisses

Hola hola ;) yesterday I was reading one blog that is a favorite of mine... Stephanie wrote this post, she was talking about how some girls talk about their "perfect life" on their blogs most of the times... I know I do not share lots of my personal stuff here, but I am so agree with her about being real, my life is not perfect at all, and yes I have days that: I hate to clean the house, my bed is unmade, I hate to spend hours thinking about the menu of the day, sometimes I do not want to cook (but I have to), or how about cleaning the Kitchen sink ... anyway I think it was an interesting post and I wanted to share it with you.
So now the creations I have to share with you, the first card is one of my favorites lately I even make one for myself and I put it in one of the shelves of my scrap space ;P... I LOVE how this card turned out, I use papers from Melissa Frances, vintage image, silk flowers, lace, a stamp from Inkadinkado, and one more brad created by me, the girls that asked if they were available yes they are, and you can find them at my Etsy shop I will add more brads soon.
Next a heart shaped card, I use the Wild card cartridge and my cricut to cut the card, and I use again Melissa Frances papers, doilies, some buttons, twill tape and the stamp is from Inkadinkado, Also I wanted to let you know that I still have some Vintage Posey kits with lots of Melissa Frances papers, one girl asked me yesterday about my store... well a few months ago I decided to close the store but you can find lots of MF goodies on those kits.
And next a couple of creations using Tattered Angels and Pink Pailsee
I know I do not make lots of layouts but from time to time I create one or two
You can see more details about the card and the layout on the Tattered Angels blog , thank you so much to all the girls that always take the time to leave me a comment :) have a great day!
