Hola a todas! Feliz año nuevo y bienvenidas a un nuevo reto de Challenge YOUrself y para empezar el 2018 tenemos una canción muy linda como inspiración. Asi que vayan por sus fotos y materiales y animense a participar. La letra de la canción esta mas abajo.

You Raise Me Up
Sung by Josh Groban

Official Music Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJxrX42WcjQ

"When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be."

Songwriters: Brendan Graham, Rolf Lovland

I really loved the song and automatically make me think in my relationship with my hubby, we are so happy together and we raise up each other all the time, so I took some of our picture and made a grid using Paige Taylor mini block and ephemera, I also made some stitching, and here's the result.

La canción me gusto mucho y automaticamente  me hizo pensar en mi relación con mi marido, somos muy partners y siempre nos estamos animando el uno al otro, asi que busque algunas fotos y use una cuadricula con los papeles de los mini block de la cloeccion turn the page de Paige Taylor, sus adornos y costura de máquina, y resultó super entretenido.

 I can wait to see what you create. Ya quiero ver sus interpretaciones

Challenge # 48: Favorite Quote

Hi Ladies is time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself and we are asking you to make a layout using a picture of YOU and your favorite Quote.

Hola Amigas llego la hora de un nuevo reto en Challenge YOUrself y esta vez queremos que hagan una layout con una foto de ustedes y su frase favorita.

It took me a while to choose my quote and finally when I was going to my Instagram feed I saw it and I love it:

"NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL. GET UP, DRESS UP, SHOW UP, AND NEVER GIVE UP"

I really felt it close, my year has been full of situations and I decide to do that...get up, dress up, show up and never give up".
For my layout I used Paige Taylor's Turn the page papers and ephemera and a cut file for my quote. I also used stitch over the words.

Me costo harto elegir mi frase, pero una tarde mirando mi instagram la encontré:

"NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL. GET UP, DRESS UP, SHOW UP, AND NEVER GIVE UP"

No importa como te sientas. Levantate, vistete, aparece y nunca te rindas.

Me sentí muy identificada con esa frase, creo que resume muy bien todo lo que este año ha sido para mi.
La layout la hice con papeles y ephemera de la colección Turn the Page de Paige Taylor, letras que corté en mi Cameo y la máquina de coser que la pase sobre las letras. 

Heres my take. Acá está mi layout:

Join us, promise is going to be fun. Participen, les prometo que les encantará.

Hola Amigas es tiempo de un nuevo reto de Challenge YOUrself y en esta oportunidad queremos que uses tus cortes favoritos ya sea de máquinas eléctricas o manuales, para hacer un lindo layout donde debes aparecer TU!

Since I have my Cameo 3 I really love cut files, they are fun and make layouts look amazing. So,for this one I pick a picture of my with our new puppy Benito, He´s a 5 month old poodle puppy and we are all so in love with him, is funny and lovely and even when he makes a mess I just feel like hug him and kiss him :) With my picture I search at the silhouette store and found an amazing cut that matches perfectly with the papers from Echo Park Bark collection and heres the result:

Desde que tengo mi Cameo 3 me encantan los archivos de corte, son especiales para hacer de un layout algo muy especial. Para  mi layout use una foto con nuestro nuevo cachorro Benito, es un poodle de 5 meses que nos tiene a todos locos de amor. Ya con mi foto busqué en la tienda Silhouette un archivo y encontré este precioso el cual decore con papeles de la colección Bark de Echo Park, estos son los resultados:

Here some details:
