Happy Birthday Emilio !

Happy 13th Birthday Emilio!

I love you very much and I ask God to always go with you and care for you. You are a kind boy with a giant heart and a warm soul. Although you may not always listen to me, I hope you always listen to God with an open mind when He speaks to you. Follow Him and He will always lead you in the right direction.

Te quiere mucho,

♥Mamacita

StampARTic Sketch Challenge in March

There's a sketch by the charming Marianne for the March challenge at StampARTic.

I was so excited when the fantastic expert and professional, Carola hosted a tutorial on Gesso...in wonderful timing with my Ask the Stamper question about the milky stuff.
Thank you Carola!!!

Although I only used it on one piece of patterned paper (baby steps ;p), it was a great learning experience. I distressed it a little, too! Ooh! As I said in my question to the stamper, I buy many things and often don't know what to do with them. I'm also not the most adventurous scrapper ;)

However, I did make my own flower. There is a great tutorial by the lovely Bev at Whiff of Joy Stamps Tutorials and Inspirations Blog.

I'm really on a roll!
