¡Hola!

I almost can't believe how long it's been since I posted a card. (And yes, my very belated International Inkers card is still to come.) What can I say, life is blessedly busy. When the time is available and inspiration comes, I craft. When it isn't, I don't. It's a simple and blissful approach that I am embracing. Lately I'm all about removing the stress from crafting, and reviving the joy.


I made a boxed set of these cards and donated them to my sister's philanthropic group for their Mexican-themed gift basket that will be raffled off later this month at a scholarship fundraiser.

I used the adorable "Dancing Peppers" digi image from Fresh Brewed Designs and papers from Cosmo Cricket's "Garden Variety" 6x6 paper pad. I also broke in my new Sizzix Big Shot making the die cuts. I was intimidated by the idea of learning a new die cut machine. But that was just silly, because I totally love my Big Shot now! Yay! (Or should I say, "¡Olé!")

Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with another creation. Have a blessed day. ((hugs))
