New layout: green girl

I created this layout few weeks ago. Splash of color on the solid background paper, acrylic paint as border of the pictures, squares cut as triangles to create a chevron pattern... Sewed on patterned paper... Added embellishments - brads with matching colors (to my imagination theme: blue for the sky, green for the grass and brown for the ground?)....
Anyway - I love this pictures, taken ~7 years ago :-)

I appreciate your comments!

11 years ago...

11 years ago we got married... isn't it a long time? Very long time!

This is the picture I like most from our wedding day. We're young and happy :-)

The border is acrylic paints I put on the paper with my finger. 1 wide layer of Yellow cornmeal paint - the closest to the color of the flowers I'm holding and 1 layer of narrow black paint.

The edges of the picture and the papers are distressed and I like this layers look.

I added a strip of lace to add interest and texture...

What do you think? I appreciate your commets

New layout: My grandpa and I

This layout was inspired by the first challenge of the new Israeli challenges blog.
I took an old picture of Oren, my husband, with his grand father. Few years ago he got a pack of pictures from his childhood and I guess I kept this pack of pictures with other old pictures I have.
While searching for an interesting picture to scrap - I found this one...
On one hand - I wanted the colors to be neutral, not colorful - and the papers chosen makes the picture pop.
I took a dictionary page with "attention" and "kindness" / "wisdom" and put it below the picture. I added the twine and the lace, which are kind of contradictions.
What do you think?I'd love to read :-)

New layout: Family Vacation

New layout..

I thought about it a lot - trying to find the right papers for these pictures... I have many papers and I tried to look at most of them. I guess these pictures waited for the right moment... And then it hit me! My papers :-)

From the cover page I cut triangles an created this layout...

What do you say?

New layout: Grandpa in love - דף מעוצב חדש: סבא מאוהב

The Hebrew message will be followed by an English one.

אני לא יודעת לתאר במילים כמה אבא שלי אוהב את יערה ומור. בכל הזדמנות, עם כל אחד, הוא תמיד מתמוגג ומספר עליהן. תמיד עם כל כך הרבה אהבה. אפילו אהבה עיוורת אפשר לקרוא לזה... לא משנה מה הן יעשו או יגידו - הוא יחשוב שזה הכי מדהים בעולם...

עד לפני כשנתיים הוא היה מבקר אותנו פעם בשבוע, משחק איתן, מקריא להן סיפורים וסתם "סופג" - לראות אותן, לשמוע מקרוב, להרגיש...

קראתי לדף הזה סבא מאוהב ונראה לי שהכותרת קולעת...

שמתי לב שיש עוד כמה דפים שהכנתי עם החולצה שיערה לובשת. למשל זה וגם זה, אחרי שיערה כנראה גדלה, והחולצה עברה למור :-)

I can't express in words how much my father loves my daughters. Ever since Yaara was born he talks about her (and 2 years later, about Mor as well) every chance he has, with EVERYONE! 

They meet at least once a week. Till 2 years ago, he came to visit us every week, reading stories (can be seen in this layout), play with them (can be seen here) - and just see them, hear them, feel them...

I chose the title: Grandpa In Love, I think it description is correct...

I noticed that I have more layouts in which Yaara & Mor are wearing the same red shirt (that Yaara is wearing in this pic): here and here.

What do you think?

תודה שביקרתן, אשמח אם תשאירו תגובה :-)

New layout: Bed Time Story - דף מעוצב חדש: סיפור לפני השינה

The Hebrew message will be followed by an English one.

וואוו כמה זמן לא כתבתי. מרגיש כמו נצח.

האמת היא שלאחרונה קצת התעייפתי. לא יודעת למה, לא יודעת עד מתי. הרצון נשאר, הביצוע פחות. גם אם אני יוצרת (קורה פחות) - אני פחות מצלמת, ובטח שפחות עורכת את התמונות ומעלה לבלוג.

חבל לי, חסר לי, מקווה למצוא את האנרגיה להמשיך - אבל זה המצב.

ולעניינינו (אחרי פתיחה דרמטית משהו) - לפני שבועיים (?) השתתפתי בסדנת קומונה אצל קרנושי, בהדרכת אילנה... הרעיון של הסדנא היה "לכלוך" (ככה אני קוראת לזה) - שימוש בצבע, בגלימר ובשאר אלמנטים פחות נקיים מהשימוש הרגיל שלי.... זה לא שאף פעם לא התנסיתי בסגנון הזה, אבל אני נהנית לנצל כאלה הזדמנויות - ככה זה מגדיר לי זמן שבו אני "מתלכלכת", ויותר קל להמשיך באיזור הנוחות שלי... טוב, קשקשתי מספיק....

בדף הזה, עם צבע אקריל לבן, טשטשתי את דף הרקע (שמציץ פה ושם, בעיקר בצדדים), והשתמשתי בשאריות נייר (לפי הצבעים של התמונה שבחרתי). אפילו המדבקות של המילים נחשבות אצלי ליציאה מאיזור הנוחות... אני לא מרבה להשתמש במדבקות, ובטח שלא באנגלית (פיתחתי סוג של סנוביזם לשפה - מעדיפה עברית עברית עברית!)

עברתי עם האצבע על שולי התמונה עם צבע אקרילי ורוד, הוספתי כותרת בעברית (חותמות), ופרחים - קרנושי, תודה על הנדיבות והשיתוף :-)

Long time...

About 2 weeks ago I joined a workshop for layouts I don't usually do... Acrylic paints, glimmer mist, etc. It's not that I've never used these materials - it's just "out of my comfort zone".

Anyway - this layout was fun to make and I enjoy its difference from my "normal style"...

תודה שביקרתן, אשמח אם תשאירו תגובה :-)

New layout: PACS

I created this layout as part of the pre-challenges for PACS (Paper and Co. Show) 2010 weekend.

The challenge was:

- Use only the 3 colors of the logo

- Create a title using the 4 letter of PACS (My title is: Playful and Creative Scrapbookers)

- Use a picture of your favorite scrapper (I used the pictures of the teachers of classes I took)

I was very surprised (and complimented) when I heard my name as winner (2nd place) in this challenge!

I used:

Cardstocks: Sonburn

Letter Stickers: ChatterBox (colored with Acrylic Paints)

Good Things

When I saw Nili's "family game" I immediately loved the idea (and detailed tutorial). I invited my girls to be very active in this creation: they helped me cut cardstocks, round the corners, paint with acrylic paints, trace the letters, and of course - think of things we love in each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It was really a fun project and I can see myself looking at it someday in the future, smiling and thinking about these days...

I used: DCWV cardstock (Citrus Stack), Acrylic Paints, Sharpie.

Hugs & Kisses

This layout was inspired by sketch #186 @ ScrapSketch:


The title says: Hugs & Kisses

I used: sonburn cardstocks, Miss Elizabeth's antique white cardstock, Fiskars border punch, Imaginisce I-top, Ink It Up! black ink, Hebrew foam letters stamped with scrylic paints, Sharpie, ribbon.

For You

This layout was created on November 2nd, using Sketch #44 @ 52Sketches52Weeks.

The layout was created for Anat's (Tshupile) dictation / challenge, which was to include a drawing in the layout...


The title says: For You
The journaling says: You pulled out from your bag lots of surprises you created in kindergarten: To mommny, to daddy, to Mor, to gradmother & to grandfather...

I used: DCWV patterned paper, Sonburn cardstock, Miss Elizabeth's Antique White cardstock, Ink it Up black ink, fun foam, Cuttlebug (Harmony alphabet), Prima flowers, brad, Acrylic paints, black pen.

Haircut

This layout was inspired by Unscripted Sketches - #30:

I used: Autumn Leaves Designer printed papers, Doodlebug stitches rub-on, Cuttlebug build a flower (cut & emboss), Prima flowers, brad, buttons, grosgrain ribbon, Acrylic Paints.

Pamper

This layout was made for the Friday Challenge Sketch @ ScrapSketch:

The title says: "Pinuki" which is the Hebrew name of Spot (the loveable dog, from Eric Hill's stories for toddlers). I believe that its name was given to him because he has a spot on his body, but his Hebrew name means pamper, they were not so good in translation, but it's a cute name :-)

Anyway, I used: Miss Elizabeth's bright white cardstock & birthday pattern paper (yellow), Sonburn cardstock (red background), ribbons, watercolors, acrylic paint, yarn, stapler, sharpie, Unity stamp (Confession kit), StazOn jet black.

Pony Haircut - ScrapSketch August Guest Designer Sketch 6

This is the August Guest Designer sketch6 from ScrapSketch:
And my layout:

Besides the sketch, the inspiration came from Donna Downey... I don't like my result as much as I like hers, but I think that this is a nice result for a first try...

I used: Sonburn cardstocks, Fiskars Threading Water border punch, Making Memories journaling book, We R Memory Keepers chipboards, black Sharpie, ribbon & Acrylic paints.
