My 1st Rag Rug

Today i finished to crochet my first "rag rug"... It's made of tricot threads. The diameter is ~1m and it's for my girls room. As you can see - they love it (which is the best reward ever!).

Tomorrow, after the apartment will be clean - we'll get rid of their current rug and put the new one :-)

I'm excited!

Would love to read your comments :-)

New layout: a Girl in a Basket

Another layout using my February counterfeit kit.
I took a picture that was taken 7 years ago :-) Yaara, 17 months old, was at her grandparents apartment and they put her in this basket and she enjoyed the experience... Of course she was smiling when the picture was taken - it's like a reflex: she sees camera and smiles...
The layout was inspired by February Stack-a-holic challenge @ DCWV blog.
I tried to stick to the sketch and give it my touch - with the elements I used in previous layouts (first and second layouts created with the the same kit): washi tape, bakers twine, the border punch, the wood letters...

Thanks for visiting - would like to read your comments!

New layout: Who's the criminal?



I created the layout using the papers of my February counterfeit kit.

Here's the first layout I created with the same papers and techniques...

I enjoyed using the same bakers twine, border punch, washi & fabric tapes...

I was inspired by this sketch @ Unscripted Sketches (#196).

The pictures were taken on June 2011 - we took the girls to the beach.

The title says: Who's the criminal? (it's a line from Israeli song)...

Mor filled the bucket with water and threw it on Oren & Yaara.... It was very funny!

New layout: Laughing

After my success (all relative - it was a success for me) with last month's counterfeit kit (I believe it was 7 layouts) - I decided to join the challenge again...
This month the inspiration is this kit - January 2013 by ScrapTastic. You can see the details in the counterfeit kit challenge blog.
I chose cardstocks and patterned papers, but just as last time - I don't want to decide which embellishments I will use, I collect them while I scrap.
Anyway - this is the first layout I created with the kit - I hope there will be more to come, and pretty soon...
The layout also fits the next challenges:
* The Paper Girls Challenge - Challenge 24: Wood elements
* Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Would like to read what you think :-)

New Layout & Blog Hop

On January 3rd I saw a post on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, challenging the followers to create a layout and be a part of the first blog hop of the year.
The challenge was to create a project using the following ONLY (not including cardstock / pictures / adhesives):
3 patterned papers
3 embellishments
& 3-word title

Here's my take of the challenge:

I feel I repeat myself when I say it again and again but it's a great feeling to utilize the papers I chose - it's the 7th layout using the same papers - and there are still some scraps. Unbelievable!
Other layouts from the same kit: Nice To Meet, Kite, Twist Car Ready, Set, Go! Corn, 2 Years.

And now for the Blog Hop:
If you came from Lucinda Messman's blog - you're in the right place :-)
If you came here and want to start the blog hop from the start - go to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog
Anyway - the next blog you should "hop" to is Leslie Smith's

Hope you have fun - and I'll be glad if you leave tracks and write a comment :-)
