So sad......

So very, very sad.................................
I am so sorry I have not been posting, but unfortunately last week my family had a great loss. My Father in law's brother passed away. We were saddened by this obviously because of the loss, but also because Bobby was such an amazing man. He loved his family and was such a happy being.

With that being said.....My Father in law has passed away today. I am devastated and in shock. I have no words right now.

I will be back.......but for now.....Please keep the Rodriguez-Rios family in your prayers.

Hugs,

Damaris

Here are some layouts that I did for my last 10 page class. Had to keep it simple but I was very happy with the results.

I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE MM STICKERS. THESE ALPHABETS DID NOT ADHERE VERY WELL. I WAS NOT A HAPPY PUERTORICAN....Just saying....

This is one of my ALL TIME favorite layouts...of course it's because my Abuelita is in it.

I have been bombarded with questions as to where to get these.

YOu can get them here:

OOOOooohhh, I love this mother's day card...

I really like the color combinations...of course the art work is pretty freaking fantastic too...

I truly believe that we all have a God given talent...and man oh man can this woman Rock cards!!!! She has some beautiful pages and crafts on her blog. Go check her out and show her some blog love :)

I love paper and have always had an affinity to create stuff. Yet, my passion is to create 12x12 scrapbook pages. I am a Scrapbooker. That is my thing. I am so inspired by this crafter that I am going to give you my take on these designs on 12x12 scrapbook pages. Stay tuned....

Have a fantastic Day and don't forget to create something beautiful that makes YOU HAPPY today.

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all of you out there who take care of your kids and love them so much that it hurts sometimes a fantastic Mother's Day. The video ABOVE this post is very special. After I viewed it I felt so totally blessed to know I was given the gift of motherhood. It has changed my life. I became a better person, have a better understanding of who I am, and understand what unconditional love is.

Promise to post pics of my day tomorrow.

HUGS,

NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY IS HERE...

Happy birthday to my honey's and other stuff...

Ok..this picture is pretty bad, but peeps, I am in a hurry and wanted to do a drive by post. Happy Birthday RIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My honey's is almost 50...ok,not true, he has six more years to go but he is getting there 2 years ahead of me...RIGHT IRVING? He, hee,hee!!! (Can you see the background? It's full of all the projects I am picking up NOW because I have my 2nd National Scrapbook Day session tomorrow....I am on a roll peeps. The mojo is definitely in the house.
Wanted to let you know...I switched this class up...of course I did. You know how it is, we tend to interpret stuff differently...I had to add some more stuff cause that's just me. I am very happy with this family book and considering the size it is absolutely worth every penny. I am giving this class again on Saturday, May 16, 2009 from 9am - 12pm.

I ran across this layout in my travels quite a while back..it's really been a while. Not sure who created it...Christine Navarro? Not sure, but I absolutely love this layout. Thought I share something funky & purty. If you know who the artist is please share, I would love to give her her dues.

I am sssoooooooo getting these.......have no idea where I am putting them, But I am ssssssssssooooo getting them.

Got to tell you, I have found a great blog. I really love this blogging world. God has placed some amazing women in my path and the truth is we have become friends. Well, I am going to post on someone tomorrow...has nothing to do with scrapbooking but she is a mom and has the same frustrations as all of us....Oh my goodness, I was rolling on the floor when I read her blog...so tomorrow I shall share the one who i am stalking...he,hee,hee....

I am celebrating with the one I love. By the way, the new Star Trek movie ROCKED!!!!! We began his birthday celebration by taking him to the movies this morning and then to lunch. Let me tell you that movie was awesome. Will definitely be buying the cd when it is released. Gotta' go.

HaPPY FRIDAY!
