Bird is the Word-"Journey", Sketchabilities #64, TCR 95 and Glitz Challenge Winner!!


Hello blogger friends!!! First of all Thank you so much for all the sweet comments and best wishes for me in my last post.  They made me very happy..you are Awesome!!!  For every negative experience we learn or laugh about something... I happened to have to go to the doctor(orthopedic) and I couldn't move my arm and had to comb my hair, my girl was at school, well I sat in my bed and my hubby comb my curly hair or at least tried...he made me a pony tail that was he told me and when I saw me at the mirror, OMG!!! that was a sun-like pony tail...I looked like a sun with explotions with the hair standing  and I started to laugh and laugh that I forgot my pain.  He fixed it, yes he went to my closet and brought my black suede hat and put it on me.  I had to go with the hat to the doctor's office either it was that or I had  to go with my sun-like pony tail.  After all I think the people in the office when they saw me with the hat and the orthopedic cast they understood what happens.
But everytime I remember I still laugh.

Well now to show you the page I did for Bird is the Word challenge and the new word is "JOURNEY" You can use this word in the tittle or your journal page.  I made my page about one of our trips as a couple, we had great memories.

You are my Sunshine- Glitz Blog Challenge

Hi!!  I hope everything is okay over there!  It's been two weeks that I haven't touch a scrapbook paper, after I had a fall cleaning the entrance of my house. I had to go to the hospital then to the orthopedic but thank God I didn't have fractures even though I couldn't move my arm for more than a week and the pain was horrible!  But I'm feeling better now.
Glitz Design is having a blog challenge and I didn't want to lose the opportunity to join since I'm a Glitz fan.  And below you will see the inspirational photo...





More details of my page...

I used the "Beautiful Dreamer" and "Dance Sunshine" Glitz Papers lines.

Fiskars Border Punches

This is my Beautiful niece Fabiola, that everytime she sees her auntie with her camera, she gives a little pose...she's a gorgeous model !


I also used the Whatnot from "Beautiful Dreamer" line for my tittle and cut one of the cards and I used the little kids carrusel like embellishment and the rest of the card I used as a photo mat.

Well my blogger friends thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments!
Take Care!!
