Team challenge (names) - PACS 2010

I guess there will be few posts about my creations for the team challenge @ PACS. The challenge was to form group of 5, to create a team; Find a name (The fairy scrappers) & make a totem for the center of the table at the big crop room. The challenge takes place on Friday night (I guess that when this post is being published).

Our team members are Yafit (which doesn't have a blog - my partner from Israel), Roula & Katerina (from Greece) & Sarah (from England).

We decided that Roula & Katerina will make the centerpiece and each creation we make for this evening, we'll do 5 times, so by the end of this crazy experience we all end up with all the creations.

The first thing I made was signs with our names. It measures about 6" (not including the thread above and below - with the beads):

I'll post more creations I make for this event, and when I'm home - I'll publish our whole table. I'm curious what we'll end up with (and what other teams will do).

I used: Cuttlebug & Nestabilities, JustRite Stampers & other unidentified: doilly, lace, felt...

Encaustic Painting Workshop

Last week I participated in Encaustic Painting workshop @ Vitrina Style:

It was a great experience.

At first stage we painted on 6X4 (inches) paper:

One more try, using different scheme of colors:
Than we moved to a bigger paper, this time it was 8X6:

And the last one was about 11.5X8.5:

It was a great experience!

Taj Mahal

This layout was inspired by sketch #54 @ Creative Genealogy Scrapbooking.

The pictures were taken during my trip to India, before I started my military service (September 1996 - I showed the LO to a friend and she asked me why did I write 2006.... At that moment I realized I was wrong and changed it to the correct year - 1996, ten years earlier).

I used: DCWV cardstocks (Taj Mahal stack), Ink It Up! black ink, stapler, ribbons, embellishments received (I finally had the chance to use all these gold embellishments, which I rarely use).

Sugar Dough cake - Cat

This is the cake I made for Mor's birthday at the kindergarten. Quite simple, but kids don't care... LOL. As long as she was happy - I was happy!
