ILuvVintageScrap ~ A Little Bit About Me

I would like to take a chance and introduce myself.  I was chosen as one of the Designer Team Members for this beautiful unique store and I am super excited.  A little bit about me.  I was born and raised in Costa Rica and lived here since I was 12 years old.  I have a very wonderful and supportive boyfriend and two beautiful cats that I love to death.  I've been scrapbooking ever since I was a little girl.  I still have some of the cards, drawings and paintings that I did as a little girl.  I've always had a great passion for scrapbooking and art.  I started making mini albums and altering items about 6 months ago and I decided that I wanted to share it with all of you.  I love making mini albums, tags, cards and altering objects.

My style is very Shabby Chic but I also enjoy the Vintage style.  My favorite colors are pastels (specially light pink :), yet I also love some dark colors just as black, brown, turquoise and more... Most of my inspiration comes from Shabby Chic/Vintage Items that I find at local vintage and thrift stores.  I've always wanted to live during the Victorian Period where everything was very Shabby Chic.  I also find a lot of inspiration on Youtube from many wonderful and talented people.  My family and friends are also an inspiration to me, but my main inspiration comes from my heart :)

Besides Scrapbooking I also enjoy painting, reading, writing, watching movies, running and hunting for Shabby Chic items :) But I love to spend many hours in my craft room scrapping and sharing my work with you.

I love and enjoy meeting new people so please feel free to subscribe, message me or comment on my projects.  Please also follow me on my Youtube.  Your feedback means a lot to me.  I am very happy and excited to be part of this team and I can't wait to share my projects with all of you!  This is such a beautiful store and I hope that it inspires you to create lovely things.  Thank you for all of your love and support!  Here are a few of my projects:

12x12 Mother's Day Layout designed by Brigitte

Hello Beauties,

Awhile ago Doreen and I asked Brigitte to be a guest designer for the store. Brigitte is an awesome crafter and we were so happy that she said yes! So I sent her the Webster Pages Country Estate papers and a few other Webster items and she made a 12x12 layout for Mother's Day. Here is the video....

Window Shadow Box

Hello Beauties!

I have designed a new template! This window is so versatile. You can decorate this in so many different ways. You can put one picture or four pictures in the window. Also you can make it so you are looking in like I did or leave the shutters off and add curtains so it is like looking out the window. Now I decided to make my window in a shabby chic style. What I did to get this look is first paint the window brown. Then add crackle medium and let that dry ( I cheated and dried it with my heat gun) and lastly I painted it with vintage white craft paint. After the window was dry, I used Tim Holtz distress inks in Weathered wood and vintage photo. Just lightly distress with a distress tool. The flowers I used on the shutters are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I colored them with Lindy's. Now inside the window I used the Country Estate paper from Webster Pages ( available in the store). I also used a book page that I distressed with Tattered Rose, Vintage photo and Old Paper distress inks. The heart charm I made with the vellum sheet from the Country Estate collection and a metal heart frame that I used gold rub and buff on it. I used half of a Frogfeatheres flower and 3 buttons. The lace I used for the valance I tea dyed and the girl image is from Google Images. I saw the image and thought she was so sweet and she looked like she was daydreaming! Here are a few more pictures....

I just love how the window turned out! If you want to make one just click on the tab above that reads " Template" and you can purchase this template.  Also the measurements are listed in the store underneath the pictures.
Have a great week!
