New layout: Birthday

I wonder...

Is the counterfeit kit good for me?

On one hand - I like the fact that I use my stash, I love to see the variety of layouts / cards / tags using the same materials and techniques.

On the other hand - it makes it difficult to choose a picture. Colors are pre-selected, so not every picture can fit...

Anyway - this layout is inspired by Stuck sketch from November 15

The picture was taken on Yaara's birthday party with her friends from school. We did a "scrap party" - each girl created her own notebook for the summer vacation...

I think they had a good time.. I hope..

Thanks for stopping by...

Nice to Meet... New layout

Few stories around this layout:

1. As you know I joined the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. I knew that the inspiration layout is about to get published and I waited for it... While waiting - I saw a clue for the upcoming kit, and I found October kit (current kit) of the same company and started to build the kit... I created the layout and then realized the inspiration kit is September's kit.... I put this layout aside and started to collect another kit. I'm sure I'll use this one sooner or later.

2. At Practical Scrappers there's a challenge to use paper clip in a creative way... I twisted my paper clip into car shape, to match the subject of the layout. Though it's not very precise I like it :-)

3. The story behind the pictures: This is my second leasing car at the company I work for... I created this layout on the same day I let go the old car and got this one... I enjoy document the little things in life, the everyday, even though it's not meaningful...

I appreciate your comments :-)

New layout: Gematria - דף מעוצב חדש: גימטריה

Another layout I created using my paper packs. It is based on this digital template - love the layout & design! This time I used the cover of Sweet Dreams paper pack to create strips, which I cut in different angles and adhered as frame. The story of the picture: Yaara learned Gematria at school (till 10), so she practiced on me... I was able to figure out the first word (which means dad) and then she explained the other word "arrive" (at this moment I told her to freeze and took a picture). She meant to ask "When will daddy arrive?"...

דף מעוצב נוסף שיצרתי עם הדפים שעיצבתי. הדף מבוסס על תבנית דיגיטלית מכאן - מאד אהבתי את הפריסה והעיצוב. הפעם השתמשתי בכריכה של חבילת "חלומות מתוקים": חתכתי רצועות ואז גזרתי בזוויות שונות והדבקתי כמסגרת.

הסיפור מאחורי התמונה, כמו שנכתב בדף: יערה למדה בבית הספר גימטריה עד 10. אחרי שהצלחתי להבין שכתבה "אבא" היא הסבירה שהמילה השניה היא "יגיע" (בשלב הזה אמרתי לה לעצור הכל ולהישאר בפוזיציה הזאת, שלפתי את המצלמה וצילמתי :-)). בעצם היא התכוונה לשאול: מתי אבא יגיע?... מכיוון שהם למדו רק עד 10, היא לא ידעה לתרגם את הע' ל-70, אז כתבה את האות :-)

I appreciate your comments!

New layout: Book Worm - דף מעוצב חדש: תולעת ספרים

Yaara is a book worm, since the day she was born (almost), you can see other book worm layout here. We were on a family vacation, it was almost midnight and Yaara said that she is not tired. I asked her if she want to read and she said yes. We found out that we didn't take her books, so I suggested she read mine, about the game theory... After 10 minutes of reading (and pretending it's interesting) she decided to go to sleep.

יערה, תולעת ספרים ידועה, מהיום שנולדה (פחות או יותר) - דף מעוצב נוסף שמתעד את העניין אפשר לראות כאן. היינו בחופשה משפחתית, השעה כמעט חצות ויערה טענה שהיא לא עייפה.. שאלתי אם היא רוצה לקרוא והיא ענתה שכן. מכיוון שלא ארזנו ספרי קריאה בשבילה ובשביל מור, הצעתי לה את הספר שאני קראתי, על תורת המשחקים. אחרי 10 דקות של קריאה (בהן היא טענה שהספר מעניין) היא פרשה לשנת לילה טובה...

New card: Thank you - כרטיס חדש: תודה

These 2 cards were created with Tsruya Ilan's first kit: Orange Love. It's been about a month since she gave me her first kit, and she'll get the card when meet again... I want to thank her for sharing her creation with me and help me think about few initiatives of my own...

את שני הכרטיסים הבאים הכנתי עם דפים מהקיט הראשון של צרויה אילן: אהבה כתומה. לפני כחודש קיבלתי ממנה את הקיט וכשניפגש שוב אתן לה כרטיס תודה. אני מרגישה צורך להודות לה על השיתוף המדהים הזה ועל כך שבזכותה התחלתי לחשוב על יוזמות כאלה ואחרות...

The other card will be sent to a special friend, who makes me smile, and recently helped me with a big project...

הכרטיס השני יישלח לחברה שוגרמת לי לחייך ולאחרונה עזרה לי בפרוייקט משמעותי...

New Chunky page: Happy Birthday to Tamika14

Last Thursday we celebrated Tamika14 her birthday. It was kind of blind date for me - I never met in person 3 of the other 4 participants - and it was a great evening! Simple & Tasty food, great company and new friends!

Since the scrappy birthday has a chunky book tradition (hopefully I'll have a chunky book too one day <--- CLUE!!) - This is the page I created (note the embroidery of the circles & Mazal Tov):

And this is the back - Many wishes for her birthday (health, happiness, pleasure, satisfaction, love & creativity):
And here's a picture to show you the dimensional work - chunky or not??

I used:

Cardstock: Kraft, DCWV, Sonburn (and other scraps)

Pen: Sharpie

Tools: Stampin' Up! circle punches & Cropodile - for the little circles...

PACS 2010 - Team challenge - Chunky Book

When we prepared our team challenge for PACS, we suggested to create a chunky book - in order to have a special memory from the team challenge. Everyone should have made 5 chunky pages, so all team members will have one from each.

This is the chunky page I made:

I used:

Cardstocks: Kraft, Sonburn

Stamps: Unity, JustRite

Ink: StazOn

Tools: Fiskars border punch, Tim Holtz distress tool

Pen: Sharpie

Other: buttons, brad, thread

Chunky Book - Keren

Keren celebrated her birthday in a scrappy way. It's the first scrappy-birthday I have invited to, but I couldn't participate. The birthday was on Wednesday evening, and few hours later I had a flight to Paris, for the PACS scrapbooking convention.

Anyway, as part of the scrappy birthday - all the participants were supposed to create a chunky page. This is the page I made:

The front - spin wheel with cupcakes images

The back (it was planned to be the front, but I didn't notice the direction - Hebrew is opened from right to left and this is left opening, so it had to be the back): paper piecing cupcakes, some are 3D:
Close up on the 3d elements:
And when you open you discover a pop-up cupcake and the greeting:
View from above:

It was very fun to make - I used many techniques and I just hope she liked it!

I used:

Cardstocks: Kraft, Sonburn, DCWV & many scraps for the cupcakes paper piecing

Stamps: Unity, Image Tree

Ink: StazOn, Marmelada
