A notebook folder with a fox

 

A notebook folder made for a woman who loves atumun colors.

The size of the folder is 9"X7" and it has a soft spine sizes 1.25".

The covers are from chipboards, while the spine is from kraftex, so the covers can be twisted fully, for more convenience while writing in the notebook inside.

On the rigtht side there's an envelope to store bigger papers, invoices, etc.:

On one of the envelope's covers there are stacked pockets for notes etc.

On the left side, there's a big pocket, where a 2 subjects notebook is insereted. I added 10 tabs on the notebook, as this woman is starting a new project, with some milstones.

The notebook can be replaced with a new one.

And that's how the outside covers look like:

You Are So Wonderful - CTD 688 + FMS 531

 

This succulent stamps were laying for ages in my stash, and I already forgot about them at all, but when I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I thought these stamps can be finally used!

And here's Freshly Made Sketches #531:

I stamped and colored them with inks and waterbrush, following the colors from Color Throwdown #688:

It's such a lovely pastel palette!

I adhered a black/white checkered ribbon and underneath a pink pp I die cut. The sentiment was gathered from TH ChitChat stickers. 

I then adhered the images, with the centered one raised a little with foam tape. The panel was matted with black cs, and adhered to the white cs basis.

To a Dear Friend

 

I was very intrigued by the colors given at As You See It challenge blog, and wanted to give it a go.

Here's the inspiration photo:

I die cut the flower and colored it with inks in Ranger's Tea Rose archival ink, TH Bundled Sage disress ink and Ranger's Library Green archival ink. Then I adhered it to another 3 identical die cuts. to give some dimension.

I die cut twice the leaves and colored them with Bundled Sage disress ink.

I embossed a dark greenish/turquoise dp and adhered it to the bottom of a kraft cs, and above it I added a jute and lace ribbon.

I adhered the flowers and the leaves on top. The sentiment (Stampin' Up) was stamped with the dark green ink on a kraft cs, fussy cut around and mounted on a sage cs, and then I adhered it on the ribbon.

The panel was matted with dark green cs and then mounted on the kraft cs basis.

As I really love this color combo, I just might use it for another card, this time a more masculine one.

It goes for the following challenges:

Joy, with pine cones

One of the winners

at Freshly Made Sketches

Today I would like to share with you this rather CAS card, made for several challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #512 - sketch:

Time Out Challenges #201 - Simplicity:

Happy Little Stamppers - anything goes with dies:

I used a spotted die cut for the white panel. I adhered a dp strip for the wide strip in the sketch, and a thin stitched ribbon for the thin one.

I die cut the pine cones from a kraft cs, and inked it with distress ink (tea dye). The pine needles were cut with a die cut from a dark green cs, and the other leaves were cut from a sage dp.

I die cut the Joy word from the same dark green cs and adhered it with foam to the panel.

Once everything was in place, I adhered the panel to a green dark cs basis.

Precious Memories (Platform 9-3/4)

Is it August already?! time flies....

The new case file (challenge) at CSI is all about traveling:

Although the inspiration photo was screaming 'Summer', my layout is rather Autumnly one, photos of my youngest taken at Platform 9-3/4 in Kings Cross station London.

We had such a blast there! We went to the shop after we've been to the Harry Potter's Studios and since we arrived to the studios a bit late, we didn't have time to shop there, so we went to the Harry Potter Shop!

While we were queuing, the shopper run a trivia test. My son knew all the answers and won a nice prize! Then we took our photos 'running' into the wall. It was so much fun!

I used all 5 colors from the scheme. For the evidence I used: stripes, grid pattern, gingham pattern, postcards, travel themed elements (I just LOVE this trunks stamp!), a clock, cursive font, a camera, a ribbon, vintage themed elements, borders (doodled border around) and triangles.

My journaling is about our visit there. I placed it on the tag, to be pulled with the ribbon.
I used Laura Whitaker's sketch for July sketch at MCS:

I love working with Laura's sketches!

A birthday gift set plus a birthday card

Happy Sunday dear crafty friends!

I made a gift set for a friend at work, and since she'll get in later than her birthday, I added a 'Happy (belated) Birthday' card.

I made the desk organizer following Keren Skubach's tutorial, which you can find HERE. I used very heavy whieght cardstock and Parparart's papers do decorate it.

This is how it looks when closed:

And open:

The photo frame holder was made also following Keren's tutorial which you can find HERE. 

This is how it looks when closed, whith a belly band to hold it:

A desk organizer and a 'Good Luck' card

A good friend of mine just passed the Bar Exam and started working as a lawyer, so I made her a desk organizer, full of bright colors and flowers.

It has 4 different boxes, 3 sqaures and one rectangle, and they all sit on a tray.

This desk organizer was made using a score board and a bone folder. The hard work was planning the measerments...
I would like to enter it to the 'Anything goes' challenge at 'More Than One Score at Scor-Pal blog.
I also made her a 'Good Luck' card:
