Make me smile

This page will be published in SNR May 2011 issue
This new page was donr with Prima " baby" line for baby pet page- as babies are babies even if it's our yard kitty..

So I used this Jack and Jill line- papers  and chipboards from Prima, more Prima flowers, ribbons and butterflies, and added some other items:AC letters, some  buttons, mirrows, MME ticket, blings and a die cut journaling

As for techniques- lot of paper cutting and piecing,inking all around, glittering the letters, punching the paper ribbons and hand writing

And for some challenges too:
 Soft and muted for Creative prompts

Cousins forever

This page was published in Jan 2011 issue of SNRI got  these paper and some embellishment as my winning Rak from Scrap the poetry and this was my very firts time to use a kit I got  as is- I didn't add enything out of the kit (and as I just got a designer position in some kit club - can't say a name yet- I decided that I need some training to use the kit only..)

Also I hope, I really hope that the kits I need to work in my new DT are a bit larger as it was really challengeing not to add anything at all and  to use this flat sticker letters that I just made less falt with 3d glue. As another techniques I did some border punching, faux white pen  stitching, ribbon pleating and wow.. nothing more .. All papers and stickers are from MME,the felt and crystals- from Kaizer craft and the big flower from Prima

So this was done for some web challenges:

Faux stitching for Scrap and stamp

At 21:my fairy tales girls

My new page was a kind of self  plagiate:I did the same journaling about a year ago and I just loved it so much that I decided to do a very new page with non used photo of my twins at 21, using the same journaling.

So it's all Prima- but a great Tando creative corner chipboard (I did 2 other works with this one, but it's so perfect for the 12*12'' corner that I just had to use it again, with distress inking, clear powder embossing and some crystals all over it.

I did some stamping over a  background paper and some random copper misting as the page was to playful and I wanted to mute  it a bit for some more vintage look.

I also used the very same mist for white craftable flowers and  the same music note stamp and I added some plastic shapes from Dress it ups too. All page is distressed and inked and I used MS border punch too. This paper line (pp, journaling spots and chipboards) are from Prima Fairy flora line- and  just fitted the theme

Fall tag #4

This tag was published in Oct/Nov 2010 issue of SNR magazine
For some reason I can't understand I love fall colors and never- ever wear them

So I just do crafts with these colors  as my eye candy and this is my 4th - in the line of 6- fall tags made for my Leaves with flowers DT work for PFOP new challenge

The brown tag was acrylic painted, the upper one was made with 4 distress inks and water spritz over non sticky mat- I think TH calles it blending non wrinkling technique

Then I used some resist embossed stickers I did for my 3 rd tag with a tutorial here a few day ago, stamped  and inked a postcard, teared and distressed it,made a homemade  ribbon flower and collaged all of these over tag adding some recicled cork, a brad ,blings, leaves and a ribbon

  

So much loved lo

This page was published in Oct/Nov 2010 issue of SNR magazine
This page won a Paper niche sketch challenge- thanks
This page won I did it creations font challenge- thanks
My new page was done in memory of own first and very beloved cat who just left and never came back after 14 years with us. We were told that cats do it some time when they fell a need to die along- but I still hope he is alife and someone just took him to his home.. He was a siamic beaty and we had him  as a tiny kitten 4 weeks old

His name was Donny and this page is for him

I used a pet themed paper from Daisy bucket and added a lot of embellishments. I also used 4-5 fonts here and did my own wool ball he liked to play with. I think this brown with pastels are great for  these photos

 

Life is a road lo

This page was published in Oct/Nov 2010 issue of SNR magazineThis page made TOP 5 on Scrap it with song- thanks
I wanted to do a page for Scrap it with a song  Life is a highway song- but didn't find any idea

Finally I decided that our overseas vacations are our life- we love it  deeply and try to be abroad 3-4 times a year,possibly in  a very different places.Thes year is was China, Morocco and Italy and we are going to Spain to visit our son in a few days

Also we can't travel for more than 10 days due to work obligations- we enjoy our short jumps here and there and have lots of photos I almoust  never scrap

So this page was 6 photos one- more than I did in my whole life on one lo and it was a try to cut the regular photos to long strips without any other persons or objects I don't want to remember

With so many photos you need to cut with a busy paper- so I just used BG cardstock as a base and some BG strips around

Two vertical strips are stickers and I used 4 fonts for my title as no set was  new- so here we have MM,ATD,Prima amd MLS letters, 2 kinds of ribbons pleated- sorry about not knowing the brands of these  old ribbons

Then I made my own paper flower using stickers, brad from Paper studio and some 3d glue

I also made 2 chipboard buttons from Heidi Swapp premade chipboards and added thread and glitter glue and embellished another chipboard flower with glitter and bling

And as Moroccan style is colorful and blingy lots of other blings were added over the stickers  and the page

For techniques I did white pen faux stitching and border punching and after all with 6 photos  I still have a lot of white space also it's  dark blue one

And as life is a road- all the photos are the one  with going anywhere or moving

And now for the challenges for this
