I'm a Guest Designer Today over at Get Inky Stamps!!

Good day all! This is Susan and I get to be Guest Designer today here at Get Inky! Stamps. I have to say that I love die cuts and it definitely assisted me in this challenge. 

For this card, I used the Top Note die with my Cuttlebug after gluing down 1 inch squares on a scrap piece of paper. I love the scrappy quilt look of this . The stamp set that I used is the Sew Sweet Cupcakes set that you can find over at Blue Moon Creations. I hope that this gives you inspiration to come and join our challenge at the Get Inky Challenge Blog for our Show Us Some Die Cuts Challenge. Hurry on over as it closes out tomorrow. Until next time....

Die Cuts are IN!!!

Good evening all :)

I had to wait to share this card as it was made for my very special Mom. You know how much I love my Silhouette Cameo and it helped me make my Mom happy for Mother's Day. I found this card template at the Silhouette store and then decided to us Get Inky Stamps Buzzing Bees stamp set. This is  one of my faves right now. Here is the card that I made:

I just love that I have bees in different sizes and that you can mix n match the phrases. I stickled the flower centers and added my signature bling. I used scraps to make this entire card! Mom was so happy with her card and I am blessed to have her to share it with. 

Get Inky! Challenge blog is having a "Show Us Some Die Cuts" challenge going on now. Why not come over and show us your die cut card? We'd love to have you. Until next time....

It's a Bird, It's a Plane.... Nope it is a second post for today....

I am way too proud of the progress I made today with pictures from July 2011 (sad isn't it?). Better late than never I always say. These are pics from a birthday get together at my cousin Sabrina's home in Virginia Beach. I used a kit I purchased from debbielukacs.com and altered it as I had no Easter pics this year. The only elements I did not use were the Easter eggs and "March 2013". I cut the title and the X's and O's with the Cameo Silhouette. I have to say that it worked out well and showed that there is a lot of love down there. I am looking forward to being there FT one day. Until that time, I get to look at these pics often:

I just love them all. Thanks for taking this journey with me today. Until next time...

It is Virtual Crop Day with Dr Phil...

I am so looking forward to today. I found Dr. Phil's virtual crop and decided I would give it a go. Regular crops is where I get my scrapbooking done. So why not try it at home? I don't have to lug all my stuff and I can get some pages done. Well, in almost 4 hours I have a 2 page layout done. I know, I know... you are shaking your heads. Well that is because I get so engrossed in elaborating on pages that it takes me longer. This is a page kit I bought from Debbie at the last crop and was perfect for my grandson Elijah. Just like the graduation layout, I used my Creative Memories Border Maker System for the fence and the paper mat borders. Here is the end result:

 Dr. Phil had an online class on U stream. I followed along as best I could but kept running back and forth to my craft room. I have had this picture since 2011 when we visited Mom and Dad in Virginia Beach. I am quite happy with the results:

I am blessed to call Mary Ellen my Mom. She has taught me a lot of things including how to be strong. She took care of me while I was broken and helped make me who I am today. I think she did a great job!! I love you Mom :)

See those circles there? Well I used my newer favorite tool; the Shape Maker System. Watch for some new cartridges for both these wonderful tools!! I am sure I will get some more pages done but wanted to share this right away. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to sharing some great deals for National Scrapbooking Day on my website: http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/susanbermudez/. Until next time...

I'm A Guest Designer today over at....

Crafty Card Gallery. I always enjoy being a part of Jenn's Design team and this challenge brought out my love of stamping! We were asked to take a stamp set we haven't used in a while and this one surely qualified. It is an old Stampin' Up set I have and probably used once. So I googled for inspiration and found a card layout I liked. I always change the colors and an element or two to make it my own. In this case, I used the More Amore designer paper pack from Stampin' Up. The papers are double sided and just the perfect background. My ink was Stampin' Up's Melon Mambo and the sparkly came from Creative Memories P.S. I Love You Embellishment Pack. The border was made with my Creative Memories Border Maker System and Frame Chain border cartridge. Here's my card:

The dimensions I used are as follows:

4 1/4" x 5 1/2" for card base
4" x 5 1/4" for heart paper
3 3/4" x 5" for white base for stamping

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit Crafty Card Gallery's page and show some love there. Until next time.....

Creative Memories All Day Crop in Freehold, NJ

Okay, so maybe I spent more time chatting and making sure my friends were doing well than scrapbooking this day. BUT, that was just what the Dr. ordered. I did manage to get two pages accomplished though. Here they are:

I really liked the pinwheels that I made on layout #2. They were made with my new favorite tool, Shape Maker System. The flowers and the letters on layout #1 are from the Fabulous power palette. I matted the photos in layout #1 with ease using the Creative Cutting System. I also got another project done in the evening time but I will have to wait to share it. I do plan on making some swap cards this evening so please stay tuned. Until next time...
