Hebrew on my blog - הבלוג גם בעברית!! + Bulletin Board - לוח מודעות

Many people have asked me why I don't write my posts in Hebrew. Today everything will change (well, not everything... LOL) - It feels strange but I'll get used to it...

בעקבות הערות, שאלות ותהיות בעניין השפה הגעתי לנקודת מפנה: מהיום גם בעברית... מוזר אבל מאמינה שאתרגל בקלות :-)

אז קודם כל שלום לכולן ומקווה לראות אתכן קוראות ומגיבות יותר :-)

Yesterday I went to KarinDi, who host "ScrapClub02" (a monthly crop night). Yesterday's project was a bulletin board. There was an option to buy a customized kit or bring our own supplies. I brought a stack I bought a long time ago and hardly used: La Creme by DCWV.

אתמול הייתי אצל קרין במפגש של "מועדון סקראפ 02". הפרוייקט של אתמול היה הכנת לוח מודעות. למרות שהיתה אפשרות לקנות קיט מוכן העדפתי להשתמש בחומרים שלי. הבאתי איתי סטאק של DCWV שכמעט ולא יצא לי להשתמש בו בעבר.

Here's my bulletin board: The upper part includes a large pocket for letters and the lower part includes post-it notes and clips for messages. Unfortunately I didn't have a red or pink post-it notes, so I used non-matching color:

לוח המודעות מחולק ל-2: בחלק העליון יש כיס גדול למכתבים ובחלק התחתון פתקים דביקים ואטבים קטנים להודעות. לצערי לא מצאתי פתקים דביקים בצבע תואם כמו ורוד או אדום אז נאלצתי להשתמש בצבע פחות מתאים:

Some close-ups:

תקריבים על כל אחד מהחלקים ו"אזורים מובחרים":

I used:

Cardstocks: DCWV - La Creme

Letters: Kesem Art

Ink: Ink It Up!

Tools: Martha Stewart punches: butterfly & border, Cuttlebug (the flower dies were Karin's)

Other: felt, brads, clips, grosgrain ribbons, bling, post-it notes

אשמח לקרוא את דעתכן על השינוי :-)

New layout: Balloons

As a Guest Designer for Stamp by Step I created another layout - this time with different theme of papers . I edited 2 pictures, turning them to black & white, leaving the balloon - the main focus of the layout - in its original color.

It's a little funny and strange changing the usual method of work. I usually pick the pictures and then match coordinating cardstocks & papers. This time I had the papers and I had to choose the pictures that coordinates and create some kind of harmony.

Close up on the popped-up balloons & flower:

I used:

Cardstock & Stickers: Kraft, Fancy Pants Celebrate Collection

Ribbons & Fibers: Silver Metallic Cord, green grosgrain ribbon

Ink: Ink It Up! black ink, StazOn jet black

Stamp: Studio G clear stamp

Flowers: Flora Doodles Glitter fabric flowers, other too :-)

Embellishments: American Crafts Round Buttons Key Lime & Metal Corners Leaf

Pen: Sharpie

Letters: Kesem Art

New card: Cup of Coffee

Another card made as a Guest Designer position for Stamp by Step.

Since it was made mostly with scraps - I "invented" the composition, with no sketches (yes, I do it rarely!):

I used:

Cardstock & Stickers: Miss Elizabeth's, Pebbles Inc. Snow Fun Creative Pad

Cord: Silver Metallic Cord

Ink: Ink It Up! black ink, StazOn jet black

Stamps: Unity

Tools: Cuttlebug & Spellbinders Nestabilities

Other: bling

New card: sort of vintage

This card was inspired by sketch #48 @ Tuesday Trio. The extra challenge was to create a round vintage card. Since I don't like vintage and I don't really know how to do vintage - I did what I could...

I used:

Cardstocks: DCWV

Tools: Singer Touch & Sew, Cuttlebug & Nestabilities, butterfly punch (unknown)

Other: trim of lace, brads, bling

New layout: In & Out

The second project I created as a Guest Designer position for Stamp by Step was a wintry layout. I tried to use as much supplies as I can, as still leave the layout clean & simple.

In the picture you can see Tal, my SIL's son digging in the snow in Denver.

I used:

Cardstock & Stickers: Miss Elizabeth's, Pebbles Inc. Snow Fun Creative Pad

Ribbons & Fibers: Silver Metallic Cord, Antique blue grosgrain ribbon

Ink: Ink It Up! black ink

Tools: Cuttlebug & Embossing folders

Pen: Sharpie
