Congratulations

2 new cards - I think they should be given to someone who got a promotion..
What do you think?

Thanks for looking

New 3D card: Mazal Tov

This card may look simple, but! :-)
But it's not...
When you open it, you see a pop up (inspired by Karen Burniston pop-up dies) of cupcakes and another chain of flags...
I love this colorful card. It took a while to create it and I'm happy!

Thanks for looking...

New card: Happy Holiday

I'm not sure the card should be posted when it's cold and rainy here, but... :-)
The card was inspired by Deconstructed sketch #129. It's simple and 'springy'...

Thanks for the visit :-)

New card: Appreciate the Beauty...

Well, after purchasing new stamps (I can't wait for the shipping to arrive) - I decided I should justify it by using some stamps LOL
Anyway - I saw the card sketch challenge @ Unity Stamps blog and I thought I should give it a try: use the sketch as inspiration + use unity stamp(s).
That's what I did (the sketch is rotated 90 CW) :-)
What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by...

New layout: Yummy

This picture was taken in a wonderful restaurant while we were on family vacation during summer of 2012. We were looking for a place to eat and found a great meat restaurant. We all ate like predators :-) And we got this desert - I don't remember what it was, but I know that nothing left LOL

The layout was inspired by sketch #234 @ Unscripted Sketches. I like taking sketches that seems more like a card, and create layouts with them...

Thanks for stopping by... :-)

New layout: Hmmmmm

2 years ago Yaara & Mor "meditate" on the kitchen countertop, waiting for me to "catch them"... Holding themselves from laughing... I took the camera, like I always do - and took some pictures of my princesses...
The layout was inspired by December 1st sketch @ Stuck?!

Thanks for the visit :-)

My first pregnancy layout

Here's another layouts I created with the papers for my first counterfeit kit.
I found these nostalgic pictures, that were taken 8 1/2 years ago, when I was pregnant with Yaara.
We took each others pictures with a view to the sea of Galilee. Funny to remember how we looked like...
Many of the layouts I did recently (until the long break I had) had ink & acrylic paints stains - this time I took the chicken wire mask and sprayed it with glimmer mist.
I took pieces of papers, distressed them and layered them below the pictures.
I added this trim of lace in order to connect the 2 pictures.
I stamped the journaling lines and used brackets rub-on on one side.
I cut the title with my Silhouette - font 'Rochi Fun'.
I added strips of washi tape - and that's it...

I appreciate your comments :-)

There's no place like home card

Another card for Unity's challenge (for the WCMD event). This challenge was all about textures. Use Unity's stamps and add at least 2 different textures to your card.

So I did... First I created this scraps background paper - strips of papers (from my counterfeit kit). The textures I chose was the magic mesh and the bakers twine.

I stamped the little heart on a scrap of the blue paper and did a minor paper piecing...

Hope you like it :-)

I appreciate your comments :-)

Passover 2011 layout

Hmmm.... 

After I chose the papers to my first counterfeit kit I created this layout, thinking about the 5th challenge of the new Israeli blog - 'Yotzot'. Where do you get your inspiration from...? I think I get inspired mostly from my everyday life... Sometimes I find myself taking pictures and thinking of the layout / papers / concept of  using these pictures to document our life in a way we would love to remember...

Anyway - this picture was taken on Passover eve 2011. The "famous song" Ma Nishtana? (what has changed) - I have a lot of things to say about it... It brings up many memories, not so good... Since I was the youngest child (and the youngest has to sing it - ask the questions) - I remember being stressed weeks before, trying to think how can I avoid it, trying to convince my brother to sing a long with me... Always thought I don't want to "make this show".

Now, as a mother, with 2 girls that LOVE to perform (every Friday eve they sing and dance to my parents) - I don't think they suffer from it, but I try to understand each and every time if they do it because they "must" or because they want to...

About the layout: I messed-up the title a little, didn't calculate the required space... oops

I added the butterflies - matching the same position on the papers - as a symbol for freedom (one of Passover's names).

I sewed (using my Sew Easy) the papers to each other - to add texture and interest to the page...

I appreciate your comments!

Honey.. I'm back :-)

Perhaps it was the longest break I've ever took from crafting / creating in the last few years...
I decided to join the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. It's harder than I thought. Maybe it will be easier if I do it more.
Anyway - This is the kit I have put together, I tried to get inspired by the designs / colors / patterns of the inspiration kit and make them match somehow in order for me to use it.

Now... Today is World Card Making Day (October 6th) and I waited for the challenges... Since unfortunately I don't live in the "right timezone" (somewhere in the US) - I will have to go to sleep soon, but I was able to join one of Unity's challenges: Shaped card (no simple rectangle, square, circle).
Here's my flower shape card:

I appreciate your comments :-)
