Because her mere presence and the sound of her voice almost instantly sets our hearts at ease. Somehow when she's close, we know we're home... I know that's how I feel about my Mom. Specially during days when I'm frazzled and up to my neck with my own children (hahahuhu!). Thank goodness we have appointed a day in the year where all children around the world are reminded of just how precious Moms are. So in celebration of our Mothers and us Mothers, I've created these fun 3 x 4 inch Moms Day cards you can use as gift tags, note cards, giveaways and even as Project Life inserts! And Read More
A Valentine Surprise
How was your Valentine's Day? I do hope it was filled with tender lovin' and sweet surprises! Kayo and I went out on a midday date the day before Valentine's knowing full well that traffic will be unbearable on the day itself. We also went to The Spa and had a much much needed pampering time! We've been hustling hard these days we thought it was about time we gave ourselves a little break. Apart from celebrating with my husband, I decided to surprise some of my mail swap friends by sending them Valentines mail. As mention on my post last February 5, I was originally planning on doing a Read More
2016 Christmas Mail Swap
Why am I still talking about Christmas in February?!? I'll tell you why! It's because I haven't had time to sit down and blog so I'm so very late in featuring this one…BUT the things I'm sharing with you in this post deserve to be acknowledged and adored no matter the delay! And I'm talking about the lovely handmade letters and cards I received from the ladies who joined my Christmas mail swap last December. I love organizing swaps because I'm interested in people and in people's original ideas. In having craft swaps, participants are challenged to come up with something nice regardless of Read More

Therefore, we are happy to introduce this year's wonderful Carlos & Veronica Christmas Card Collection!

Free Valentines Postcards!
Just a few days left before Valentine's Day and I've got a special treat for you! I designed four new postcards which you can download for free, print as much copies as you like and give away to your loved ones on the day of hearts. And these four original designs were inspired by classic love songs I've always liked. I grew up listening to the "oldies." Music by Louis Armstrong, The Temptations, Frank Sinatra, Al Green and the Beach Boys, to name a few, would always be playing in our car stereo or my parents' record player at home. I vividly remember being a little girl sitting on my dad's Read More

Papercut Hearts
One of my friends who share my love for crafts invited me to sign up for a postcard swap in time for Valentines Day. I immediately agreed because it's something I've been wanting to do. Naturally, the theme is "love," and the only rule is that you send something you made yourself. So early last week, I busied myself making my cards. I wanted them to be simple and yet look fun and pretty. So I took out my trusty craft knife and cut out different fancy hearts on the front of my blank cards. I didn't have a solid idea what to make when I sat down to work on it, but I came up with four that Read More
