La Guadalupana ~ Virgen Mary of Guadalupe

Today is the day of La Virgen de Guadalupe, like every year we wake up really early and go to church to sing Las Mananitas and other songs to celebrate her day. I have always admired the beautiful imprint of our lady of Guadalupe, even if you don't believe it's a miracle, it's still a beautiful piece of art - heavenly art if you ask me - I am not good at drawing so I found a very pretty cartoon version and made an SVG out of it. I am going to try and cut it later on today. It's cut as a coloring page and a lot of the details (like the stars and swirls were deleted to simplify) you can add those with embossing, or by drawing them in. Click HERE to download the SVG.

As always this is for your personal use only, please do not re-distribute. If you use it please share! I would love to see how it worked for you. Have a blessed day.

Pretty Purple Flower Card

Here is a sample of a card I made for a swap, I made 2 different versions of the card, one was deep purple and the other lavander purple. Both feature a flower from the Lucy Lou cartridge and stickles and dew drops which I colored in a dozen different colors... so much fun.  Here is the other version:

Random Act of Kindness

Today I came home to find this wonderful pakcage on my mailbox:

This package is from Lisa (kittyshoes) from the C ricutMessageBoard. For her 1 year anniversary of doing the happy mail swap she decided to send 24 RAKs to people from the MB. Lisa is known in this swap for her beautifully decorated boxes, as you can see above she does beautiful works of art, and I am very GRATEFUL that she chose to send one to me. Not only did she send all these wonderful goodies to everyone but she took the time to personalize them (see charm above) isn't she wonderful!!!

This box just made my day today and I hope I can pass this RAK to someone else. Thank you LISA this was a wonderful box, I am very grateful for your generosity!!!!!!

Now I encourage you to pass on some kindness and make someone smile today ........
