I have few of the Copic sketches but I wanted to go ahead and get the skin colors for my Copic collection but as we all know this markers are very pricey so I've decided to go ahead and get the Copic Ciaos which are a little more affordable and with a help of a coupon I got this set in a very reasonable price and it was worth every penny. Watch!!!

Spectrum Noir has been one of my markers choice to color my cards, ATC's and many more artful projects I have created in the past years. However recently I've ordered all of them, the old design and 2 of the markers came completely dry. I had no luck finding the refills so I've decided to contact them and then they have responded back immediately with a solution. Watch!!!

Vilda Stamps have asked me again to stay with them for this year, my experience with them has been awesome and I love the stamps. I've created many projects with them specially cards and I absolutely love them. So in return they send me back happy mail for the incoming months and so far the stamps have done a great job to beautify my work. Thank you VildaStamps.com for your support and years to come!

This card was commissioned for a person that need it a baby shower card for a girl. I used very simple and easy elements to create this card please watch the video. Sorry for the late post.

WOW!!! I almost didn't make it for this one but here it is my Tim Holtz Tag of April, awesome techniques had a lot of fun and allot of improvising as usual. I hope you like it as much as I do!!!

For VildaStamps this month I've created an ATC with these beautiful butterflies rubber stamp that you can found in their website. With a Mixed Media feel I've created an environment that has also 3D butterflies. I've also use on the back the one of the ATC stamp that VildaStamps have to offer, I rely on this stamp for my ATC Swaps all the time and they look stunning. Love it!

I love making this type of projects, was very fun to create something different. I was very inspired after I did the Mini Matchbox from Tim Holtz so I though making something a little bigger. This is what they call a Mixed Media Assemblage Box, I found a jewelry box size 3.75x3.75 in perfect for my project. I've gathered metal and paper embellishments from different designers, I had a World Map on my paper stash and work with it to cover the box, then I've made some Tim Holtz Rosetes to make them like a support to the picture and that work beautifully. The last step was to create a collage with all my embellishments and make a cool Steampunk Mini Shadow box.

Here I am again with Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 for the month of March. Like usual this project had to be the most challenging tag so far, everything that he used I don't have so I had to manage to get as close but not exactly as his work. I put allot of though into this tag and I'm glad I liked the end result, hopefully you will too.

Tim Holtz Matchbox Die is very cool to be creative in many ways, in this video I will show you how to assemble the box and use it as a Mini Shadow Box with a Steampunk Style. So far this is my favorite Die from my arsenal, absolutely love it!

I've made a video on how I make a card, something that I haven't showed in detail before. I have done many videos like this and you seem to enjoy them. Hope you like it!

Here is my Lucky charm for this month, I’ve created a St. Patric's card with VildaStamps.com Charlie Chaplin V702. I’m very inspire by this month Holiday and I’ve gave Chaplin that Irish look even altering his hat to a tall hat with a clover on. I definitely love this stamp and love to use it in my projects.

Tim Holtz Tag of 2014 - February awesome experience and lot of improvising but in came out nice. I use allot of diferent things to create this tag but overall I feel good about how it came out. I love Tim's Tag wonderful Distress Techniques were used and I learned form it.

I've altered a small pod with acrylics, Mod Podge and Gold Leaf, very cool. This was very fun to do cause I used different media, it was my first time using Gold Leaf and the results are stunning how you can altered something looking vintage in a minute. Awesome experience :)

Being a Star Wars Fan I had to make something related, the experience was awesome cause I got to use allot of different die cuts to make the shapes and finally assemble the characters. I did Yoda and Princess Leia and the are absolutely adorable however Yoda got allot of attention over at Etsy. I hope you like my cards and if you are a Star Wars fan like me let me know in the comment section.

Hello everyone, my Christmas 2013 is absolutely creative and fun. I've came up with some cool ideas to create nice ornaments for my new Christmas Tree that a friend of mine gave to me as a gift.  My problem was that the new tree was bigger and I need it more ornaments and since I didn't want to spend to much money I though it would be great to do my own ornaments with the supplies I've had around in my stash. So here are some of my videos that I did past Christmas 2013.

My Tim Holtz Die collection is growing by the minute so I had to figure out on how to store them, so I thought sharing with you this process will help you if you are in the same situation. This is the way I find to store my Tim Holtz dies that I absolutely treasure.

I've joined www.swap-bot.com is my first attempt on an ATC swap with this site. Will keep you informed on how it goes. But so far I'm having fun making ATC's.

Today is the first day of 2014 so far is all good. New resolutions, new experiences to look for and a new journey of creativity. Here are all my Tim Holtz Tags for 2013 all together, they are all beautiful and full of color. I've learn so much form doing this tags that I can't wait to see what Tim will do for 2014. I hope you like them!
