Ethel's Monologue - American Horror Story

Hola everyone!

There have been a series of things going on in Puerto Rico that have made front news in several news portals... I am ashamed of what is going on, and I really wish I could do something about it.  

I love my island and its people.  My family lives here, my friends are here, I work here... My life is here.  But everthing that has been going on, makes me wonder if I should consider doing what a LOT of puertorricans are doing: moving to other states.

I want to have hope.  I want to see things get better.  And tonight, watching American Horror Story in my DVR, I came across this monologue which touched me deeply, so I decided to share with you:

I agree.  We need to take control.  We need to stop conforming with what is placed before us.  Let it be taxes, criminality, unemployment... We need to take a stand and rebel as a country against all the injustice, against all the wickedness.  It is time.

Peace and healthy days to you all.

Besitos,

Echo Park - Best Friends - part 3

Hola everyone,

I told you I had worked several projects with just one kit.  ONE KIT!! lol  

This is a gorgeous Mini Theme Kit by Echo Park called "Best Friends".  I was able to work several projects, and this is the 3rd one.  It is a Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album, and as you all know I love to repurpose things, you can imagine this is one of my favorite projects to do.  

I placed pictures of my best friends in my mini album, stickers from the kit and used colored ribbon to finish it up.  

If you want to see other Toilet Paper Mini Albums I have made, you can click here, here and here. 

*Update:  You can see the Scrapbook Layout, card and notebook I made with this kit!

Peace and healthy days to you!

Besitos,

Echo Park - Best Friends - part 2

Hola everyone,

As promised, here is part 2 of my Echo Park "Best Friends" Kit projects.  Like I mentioned before, it is a gorgeous kit, and I was able to work several projects with it.  I still have one whole sheet and some of the stickers left! 

For this card, I used American Crafts twine and scraps from the first project.  As you know, I love to repurpose things, this time pieces of cardboard.  Thick cardboard.  This I used to create the 3D effect on the telephone stamp and the sentiment.  I like using cardboard versus using 3D dots or thick double sided tape.  

Stay tuned for the rest of what I created using this beautiful kit.

Peace and healthy days for you all!
