GRATITUDE - Inspired by Tracy's MMM classes
Little did I know how changing the title of my blog would really unleash Where Colors Take Me. I'm having fun and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you Tracy and all my crafty and talented artist friends in my life and youtube. I hope you'll feel my Gratitude in each painting and crafting thing I share with you. Take care,
hugs,

A couple of last year's ICAD's and a little black candy popper I made with the envelop punch. (really cool to have) Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBFafCRaWbQ) and since I purchased the envelop punch board I tried it out and I have nothing but wonderful shout outs to We Are Memory Keepers who made this tool. It really works beautifully and you can create not only envelops of different sizes but other cool stuff as well. I highly recommend it, especially since I'm not good with measurements. All is there and Youtube has so many great ladies and gents who share other projects using this tool.

| This is a special large ICAD I made of me and my beloved sister Odette. I was seven and she was six when my mom took this picture of us in the park. The caption is in Spanish and it translates " Know what I love the most in the world?" It's referencing my mother's love for us and my own towards my sister. She passed away October 21, 2006 and not a day goes by that I miss her and wish she was here with me. So, this is really my little tribute to a Best Friend and Sister. A gift from God to me. A love between sisters that even in death remains strong and true. |
 |
| ICAD I made with magazine clippings, card stock pieces, buttons and bling. ( I did it during my lunch time at work) |
 |
| Here I'm trying to mimic snow in the winter woods. Didn't come out exactly how I visioned it, not too bad. The dies are from "IO" = Impression Obsession . I love Kittie Kraft. She does the most beautiful cards with these and other dies. Check her out. |

Ok, I'll be back soon with some other posts. Thanks so much for stopping by, comments are always welcomed. Stay well,

Hello everyone. Happy 2014! A little share on a special request project I made in 2013. Year end that is. :o) - This is a "J" I made for my friend Helga to compliment her "H" I made earlier. (check out older posts) I made both using Graphics 45. The H was made with reds and the title I gave it was "Glamour Girl" This J was for her husband and I used the name of the designer name "A Proper Gentlemen". I used Tim Holtz's Jalopy Car and the Gear dies. Here are other close ups.
She loved it and he wanted his entire name. lol Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Hello Friends, Hope you're all doing well. Sharing some new things I've been doing. Last month I visited with my mom in Puerto Rico. Had a wonderful time with her and family. You know how it is, good home cooking like mom does. You can't beat that! Got some long needed sun on my skin. lol. While I was there I took some crafty products from my stash and took the advise of so many of you crafty artist who always say " Use the stuff you have in your staff and create". Well I surely did and I also wanted to give a try to making some ICADs. " Index Card A Day" That idea come from some really cool artist on Youtube. Aaron "Imperfectimpules" Jenn, "Mixed Media Jenn" and Di, PackerDi. Check them out.
I used different types of mediums and worked with what I took with me. These are the Icads I made.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Have a wonderful week!
Maria
