Just two layouts this weekend I was busy doing tickets and....laundry ;-(

 This one is someone special...that I adore.  Everything in this page says something about him, the flowers, the ticket, the fruits, the jars.  I made the flowers with my slice machine.

OKAY....my very own versions of Spiderman.  My superheroes!!!! Charlie & Chris 2002...Oh my he is climbing the walls!!!

Ticket weekend

 Dimensional butterflies...so cool to make

 On these tickets I cut mini butterflies using a punch and I cut them twice.  First I cut it in a brilliant paper (blue) and then using alcohol inks I colored acetate paper, and punched the butterflies again and glued the center of the one in acetate over the one in paper.  That gives some dimension to it.  I did the same for the pink ones you'll see at the bottom. The same technique can be used using vellum paper.  I have bigger images in my blog history in the right column.  One sample can be found on the left column ;-)  If you like it.....would you leave a message?  Would you mind...Please ;-(

 These I stamped using purple distress inks, and aging the paper, to use it on mu heritage album.

 This one is part of another set I made last year, stamping and coloring with the distress inks.  This is the last one of that batch.

 Here are a few with varied options.  Lipsticks, some die cuts glues, stamps and stickers.  Sorry the picture is not rotated correctly.  

 Closer look of those butterflies I glued to the tickets.

All together on the same afternoon..jajjajajaa

Afternoon in the "balcón"

Discovering yourself

Taking benefit from paper that is already embellished.  I like when the paper has decorations, because it's easier for me to just follow the pattern.  Like in this one.

This ticket is a real pass to a place we used to go when Carlos was4 years old.  The flower on top is one of  mine made with fabric and then dye using coffee.  

This  is a medallion he bought in Disney World like 4 years ago. I dyed it using

                                                                                        alcohol inks.

The fabric roses trim where dyed using the coffee technique.  The Doily I painted with inks in gold and teal to make it look rusty  The flowerpot is one of my porcelain embellish that I stamped and then painted using teal and bronze.   On the blog archive you can find a see the process on how I made it. Under the ticket, a flower spray I made.  

Only you...Mother

The teacher of all of you

My granny (on the left corner) was the English teacher for Titi Pepita, next to granny,  and also to my dad, (next to my mommy) Ohh..my parents....they are divorced for over 30 years, but still good friends!!! In fact daddy, comes to my mom's to drink coffee almost daily.  For special activities, like dominoes afternoon..he is also there.... Yeap! He is always there.  Oh noo, no no no....nothings is happening between these two.  Trust me,  In fact he is married.  My mother is a widow.  Oh my Gosh....I have to pay attention to this.  But anyway, my granny, she was the English teacher of almost every single local on our hometown.  No wonder, people address  me as Mrs. Villalobo's granddaughter.  

Fabric flower I made...the X means hugs

                        This ticket I made with a stamp and then paint it with distress inks.  Then with a bird punch I      
                                                       cut additional bird shapes from a glitter paper.

    Teapot shape cut with my Slice machine and then fussy cut the dictionary page in the back to make it look like a shadow.  I painted the teapot with chalk  colors.  

I made this teapot with my cold porcelain mix and then I covered it with glitter.
