Leopard fever attacks home: SOS!!

{awww having this baby at home would be amazing, wouldn't it??}

All of you know how is my obsession with leopard print in everything {and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING}
I've been checking my posts on the blog about leopard print {and man, there are a lot of them!!}, but I didn't see any post about home decoration with leopard print. And as most of you know, I´m back in Madrid, so I´m moving to a new "home, sweet home" {C❤ and M❤}, so I just can't stop thinking about decoration ideas, and leopard print is always a good one!!
Of course, sometimes you need to be a little brave to decorate a home with this kind of print, and I don't like the "too much" either, so let's see just some little details that are going to make your home look a little different!


{this is for the bravest}

{what about this pillow on a simple black or brown coach??}

And to make something new, here you have two DIY on leopard print, I know you are as excited as me!!


Do you remember my post about the package with leopard print  duct tape? Ok, you need that and... that´s it!

Can you imagine that this paint was real?? It would be amazing, I know it!!
But of course it´s kind of impossible {today}BUT you can do it!!! It´s suuuuuper easy, and this works for a wall, for a little part of the wall, or for a pocket on your jeans or whatever!!
I found this simple tutorial:

Hope you enjoy this post, more Mrs Bitchface than never!!

More ideas for a package!

The good thing {maybe the only one} about living far away from the people you , is that you can send them lots of packages, so you can do packages, and it is one of my favorite things!!
Today I made another package {you can see the first one here
But this time, it was kind of a package and a game at the same time, let's see if you get it!!

{these are all my gifts gap warmest jacket , west seal shirt, but instead blue, mine is black}






{just an idea if you don't have any gift card around you. Yesterday I wen to the mall, and I was smelling some perfums, so I decided to use the papers with the small as gift cards, put them into de wallets, and so, when they open them, I'm sure they're going to love the gift, bust because of the smelling!}


and this is the final package. as you can see, I didn't use cards with the name, so this is que question: how do you think they're going to know what package is for each one??

xo

ps: my babies are here!!! so expect for a nice post early, maybe tomorrow, or maybe later, who knows!!

How to say thank you with no words?

ok, i'm going to try to make a really really long short story!
so everything started when i had to make my own business card for one of my subjects. then i thought about a friend of mine who is an artist. really. he's studying graphic design, but i really think that the graphic design should study him. {actually he's an artist painting, editing videos, pictures, etc}
so i asked him if he could do my the favor of design my business card, and in the same day, he made a really nice and beautiful business card to me!!
so now, it's my turn, it's the random act time!
of course, as he's my friend, i'm not going to paying him any money, because i'm sure he would not like that, as i would not like either that a friend of mine would pay me any money, or buy my any shirt or whatever!
so let's go for something really simple and cute that everyone is going to accept because sweet things never made anyone bitter!


{a cute favor box, i got mine on hobby lobby}


{his favorite sweet & chocolates}


{something funny to make him smile}


{so once you have everything what you need...}


{just fill the box.. and this is all!}

Before & After: a package!!

What happens if you receive a package like this one?


It is ok, I mean, a gift is always a gift, and it will always be welcome!

But, what if you receive something like this?


It is really different!! I would say, even better! And really easy too! For example, in my case, I just needed {apart of the gift, obviously!}:


These are blue sheets for gifts, a cute box for a little gift where I put "my first keys" toy, a vase by cars, a gift card.. actually they are little details, but remember: details mark the difference!!

The point is try to make the little details just important! Starting on the box, as you can see, I wrote my nephew name on one of the sides, also with a blow made by me with ribbon I bought on Hobby Lobby.

Another important thing, the gift card! For this one, I used my stamps!



{cute}

With the keys and the box gift! 
I have a really easy tutorial on this point for an emergency gift and with no gift card. It is really difficult do not have a gift card, because you can make one with almost anything around you, but you can also give a gift by you to a person, and without gift card, he or she will no exactly that the gift comes from you!
How? Just think about something that really caracterizes you! In my case, any person around me could say you: leopard print! So here we go!


{gift, gift box & leopard print ribbons}

I actually had a "video tutorial" for you {my first!!}, but I saw it on the computer, and the light is really bad, so I think that just with the picture is enough!


{I have both ribbons around my wrist, so that´s why I know that if somebody receives a gift with these two ribbons, he´s going to know it´s from me!}

Here you have another cute way to "hide" the price of something:


{it´s something like: the price was just love, and I have sooo much for you!!!}


I know you wanna start, but it is not for you, I´m sorry!!


and here we go!!! hope you like it honey!!

xo

ps: this morning I was on my way to the post office with the package to send it, and a friend of mine saw me from the other side, he told me "I was not really sure if it was you, but when I saw that leopard print tape I said: ok, she is" so... I think my sister will know it comes from me inmediately!!

STAMP!

 
Hey guys!! How's going on??
I'm so busy with everything!! Work on campus, work off campus... really excited about everything!!
Today I want to show you and idea that I figured out just doing scrapbook, and it's how wonderful stamps are!! I just knew them for scrapbook, but you really can use them in everything!!
Here you have some examples:
 
 
{this one is in the beginning of my scrapbook}
 
 
 
{just to decorate a text}
 

{separate in your notebook}
 

{to present a subject}
 
Actually, I'm starting a new course in the university, so most of the things I made were for my new notebooks!! You know, you always start very exciting the classes, let's see in a couple of weeks!
 
 
{there are no words to express some things so... stamp it!}

The best thing about memories is creating them!



And after that, keep them!
I always wanted try "scrapbooking", but I never dared... til last week! it's a good way to forget all about college {you know, appointments, homework, exams, readings...} and spend your free time, and free your imagination.
I've started with something really easy and cute. Actually it is cute, but not as easy. I've started with a photo album of my baby {❤ u cutie pie!}

So, what do you need?



{scrapbook papers, some stamps, ink for stamps, stickers, embellishments... and any stuff you like, because, actually scrapbooking depends a lot on  what do you like and the way you want to do it!}

Oh, and, of course, pictures!
Once you have the paper and the pictures you want for it, it's just about decorate it! Everything works, and there's not a better or a worst way way, there are just different ways to do it, and maybe sometimes, something that I find  really beautiful, you're going to find it horrible, or viceversa. 
Here are some examples I did these past days







{cutest ever!!!}

To find all this kind of beautiful stuff, I recommend you Hobby Lobby {actually is where I bought all my stuff} , this is the shop which I visit, at least, once at day {"WTF?!?!"... i know...} and there you can find anything that you're looking for. You can also shop online, and actually not just for scrapbooking, if you like decorating, you will become crazy, and you will get why I need to go to the shop once at day.
It's a good way to have all that memories, and not in a simple photo album, this will be YOUR photo album, the one all over the world, and that's awesome!!

xo

ps: I't a little expensive hobby, but look at the result, it worths it!!

"Things end, but memories last forever"
