A Scrappy Thank You Canvas

This is a canvas I made for the good Dr. that took care of my youngest and helped us a lot lately. I will give it to her on our next appointment, along with a card, to thank her. She went out of her way to help us, and encouraged me so much when I needed it badly. I do hope that she's going to like it.

And the challenges:

glitter/sparkle/shine - craft your passion; papertake weekly; totally gorjuss

thankful - shelly's images; treehouse thursday; simon says

open with a butterfly - flutterby wednesday

Thank you for stopping by!

קנבס שהכנתי כמתנת תודה לרופאה שעזרה לנו רבות עם בני הצעיר, יצאה מגדרה לסייע, לתת כתף ולהושיט יד כשכל כך נזקקתי לכך.

זאת פעם ראשונה שאני מכינה קנבס, והתוצאה קצת מזכירה לי ציור של ילד בגן, אבל לפעמים יש מקום גם לקצת נאיביות, אפילו אם היא רק בתמונה...

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל!

Evergreen - lo

These photos were taken on a sunny winter saturday, almost 4 years ago. We went for a little trip on Carmel Mountain, which is known as the "evergreen mountain".

I made this lo with the inspiration of the poem "There is Another Sky" by Emily Dickenson, the poem inspiration at Scrap That Poetry. The lines about "little forest, whose leaf is ever green", reminded me of an Israeli song, about Carmel Mountain, called "The Green Mountain", and there's a line in that song, that says: "the evergreen mountain". I wrote those lines on the journaling block.

The sketch is from Sketches In Thyme:

I'm entering this lo to some more challenges:
distressing - sentimental sunday; aly's
vintage - charisma
chipboard - if the shoe fits (the journal block)
photo inspiration - off the wall craftiness, with this photo:

Thanks for stopping by!
Be sure to come back next week, to see my DT's job for Frosted Designs, and for some more surprize...

דף מעוצב שהכנתי לאתגר של השראה משירה, פואמה של אמילי דיקנסון. תפסו אותי השורות על היער הקטן שבו העלים הם ירוקי עד. נזכרתי בטיולים הרבים שעשינו בכרמל, ההר הירוק כל ימות השנה. מכאן הכותרת והכיתוב בקובית הג'ורנלינג.

תודה שנכנסתן ותודה ענקית על הפירגונים שהשארתן לי על כך שנבחרתי לצוות המעצבות של Frosted Designs. זה מאד מחמם לב.

תזכרו לבדוק בשבוע הבא, אז אציג את הדף שהכנתי לאתגר הסקיצות ב-Frosted Designs, וגם אשתף אתכן בעוד הפתעונת חביבה.

Exciting News!!! and a sneak peak

I'm so happy to share with you that I was chosen to join the very talented DT group at Frosted Designs!!!! So you might say I'm a frosted girl now... LOL

Frosted Designs has been one of my fav challenge blogs for a long time, and I was very inspired by their challenges and the DT's work, so when Barb asked for some new DT, I mailed my application and it was almost on the last minute.  I was so thrilled and excited when I got the mail telling me I did it!!

There will be a lot of new things going on at Frosted Designs, and you don't want to miss the fun. So keep tuned and pop over the next few days.

Here is a sneak peak of what I've created for my first DT's job:

And there's another happy news, but then again, you'll have to wait another week till I'll share it with you....

So thank you for stopping by and make sure to pop over to Frosted Designs, and join us in the fun!!!

נבחרתי לצוות המעצבות של אחד מהבלוגים של אתגרים שאהוב עלי במיוחד, Frosted Designs! הגשתי את המועמדות בדקה ה-90, ומאד מאד שמחתי כשהתבשרתי במייל שנבחרתי להצטרף לחבורה של נשים מאד מוכשרות.

הבלוג הזה עובר כמה שינויים עכשיו, ויהיו בו אפשרויות רבות ממש בקרוב.

התמונות הן הצצה לעבודה שהכנתי לאתגר הראשון בו אשתתף כאחת מצוות המעצבות.

אתן מוזמנות לקפוץ ולהשתתף באתגרים שם, אני אשמח מאד לראות השתתפות ישראלית :).

ויש לי עוד בשורה משמחת לשתף בה, אבל לזה תצטרכו לחכות עוד שבוע, אז תקפצו לבקר :).

Fall (2) - U Make Me Smile - lo

I've made this lo for the song inspiration at Scrapping the music. I took the line "you make me smile". The photo is of my beloved boys, and was taken a little more than 4 years ago. The youngest still didn't walk on his own feet... We had a lovely tour at Mount Carmel, which is knwon in Israel as the evergreen mountain.

I used October 15th sketch from Stuck?!:

For the kraft base I used a backing of a dp package. The dp and the die cuts are K & Co., the orange & green buttons letters are EK Success. I mixed some orange and gold acrylic paint and stamped the swirls on the dp and the cs, so to connect the parts together, and then I spread some gold stickles on the stamped swirls  (I saw it at my talented friend Eilanit, and I loved it very much! you should pop over and take a look at her gorgeous creations).

With that color mix, I colored the border of the photo. I got the idea from the challenge over scrap and stamp, I never did it on a photo and I like the idea and will probably use it in the future.

The golden letters ("smile") are kraft chipboards I won from Paper Niche a while ago, and I colored it with gold acrylic paint.

Accidentally, I touched with the golden stickles on the photo, on my eldest son's hair, but that's fine with me, cause he is a golden boy... :), and the whole lo has the glitter look...

And I'm entering this lo also to the following challenges:

die cuts - frosted designs (that challenge made me open my almost untouched die cuts box...)

ribbon - stampin' royalty

z for zigzag - alphabet (the ribbon)

autumn/fall - daring cardmakers; creative inspirations; stampin for the weekend; ecp

sparkle/shine/glitter - my partner in crafing crime; little paper shop; totally gorjuss
anything but a card - sweet stampin; stamptacular sunday
no white paper - corrosive
childhood - ella's pink scrapbook

Today we've been to the zoo with friends. We've had a wonderful day there. Here are some pics, I do hope to scrap some of the photos I took pretty soon:

Thank you for stopping by!

דף מעוצב שהכנתי לאתגר של השראה משיר. השורה שתפסה אותי: you make me smile. בחרתי לעבוד עם תמונה מתוקה להפליא של הבנים שלי, שצולמה לפני למעלה מ-4 שנים בטיול שעשינו בחי בר בכרמל. כבסיס השתמשתי בגב של אריזת דפים מדוגמים. הדף המדוגם והחיתוכים של K&Co. והאותיות הכתומות והירוקות הן של EK Success שנקנו במקס סטור. האותיות על התמונה הן צ'יפבורדים שזכיתי בהם, שצבעתי עם צבע אקרילי זהוב.

השתמשתי גם בערבוב צבעים אקריליים של כתום וזהוב כדי להחתים חותמת של מערבולות על הדף המדוגם והקארדסטוק, אח"כ עברתי על זה עם סטיקלס זהוב. את זה ראיתי אצל אילנית, המוכשרת להפליא, וישר אימצתי בחום. עם הצבע הזהוב גם עברתי על השוליים של התמונה עצמה. אני אוהבת את האפקט שהתקבל.

כל הדף הוא בצבעי שלכת וזהב, אם כי התמונה עצמה צולמה דווקא באביב...

ותמונות החיות? מביקור שלנו היום עם חברים בגן החיות התנ"כי. אני מקווה שיצא לי להכין בהקדם דפים עם תמונות נוספות שצילמתי שם.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל!

Speed Up!! lo דף מעוצב - תן גאז!

This is my 2nd post today. For my Simple Doodles DT's post, please scroll down.



I've made this lo for the song inspiration at Scrap It With A Song, which brought the song "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf. As soon as I saw the first lines, I knew I'd scrap my eldest's photos riding this motorcycle on an amusement park, 2.5 years ago. He was so excited about riding that motorcycle and had that determined look on his face to speed up, as if he was on a highway... And that's where the title came from.

I used the sketch from Sketchy Thursdays:

I twisted it  so the photos will work with the sketch.

No way I could make this lo with a vintage/shabby look. The colors of the photos said: primary colors, so I used some very bold and vibrant dp. To soften it a little, I spread some white acrylic paing underneath the dp. I just love the way it looks when you use dry brush with acrylic paint.

I used my zig-zag scissors to cut the edges of the red strip. The oval frame around the little motorcycle sticker and the zig-zag strip on the red strip - are die cuts.

I also used some small motor stickers  and felt letters, and I doodled some faux stitching on them.

And the other challenges:

z for zig-zag - alphabet

boys and their toys - cupcake craft

die cuts - frosted designs; cinema saturday

stitching - speedy's friends

Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget to pop over again next week, cause I have some exciting news to share with you....

הכנתי את הדף הזה בהשראה של השיר Born to be wild, ומייד כשראיתי את מילות השיר, ידעתי שאשתמש בתמונות הללו של בני הבכור, רוכב על אופנוע חשמלי בבאלגן ביגור. הוא כל כך התלהב מהרכיבה אז, והיה עם מבט נחוש של חתירה למטרה, כשהוא הגביר את המהירות כל פעם.

הרגשתי שאלו תמונות שלא מתאים לעצב אותם עם צבעים רכים ובהירים (למרות שזה יכול להיות אתגר בפני עצמו....), אז השתמשתי בצבעים מאד בולטים, צבעי יסוד. כדי לרכך את האפקט במקצת, מרחתי צבע אקרילי לבן עם מברשת יבשה מתחת לניירות המדוגמים.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל! שתהיה שבת שלום, שבת של הנאה.

אל תשכחו לבוא לבקר אותי גם בשבוע הבא, שאז אוכל לשתף אתכן בחדשות מרגשות.....

Crisscross Thanks card - Shape it!

Welcome to another Simple Doodles' challenge! This weeks challenge is "Shape it!", and you are asked to make a shaped card.

For a long time I wanted to make a crisscross card, and now I had a good opportunity to do it. There are a lot of turorials on how to do it around the web, but I made mine a little different, more simple.

The image is a freebie from Paper Cupcakes. The dp is glittery orange, with green embossing. I love the fall colors of this card.

So please join us at Simple Doodles, and "Shap it!" (the challenges begins tomorrow, Friday).

I'm entering this card to the following challenges:
fall/ autumn - stampin for the weekend; crazy 4 challenges; creative inspirations; cuyl;
use digi - stamp something
distressing - the crafty pad
open (with a butterfly) - #127 flutter by

Thanks for stopping by!

בבלוג של Simple Doodles, בו אני אחת מצוות המעצבות, האתגר החדש הוא כרטיס עם צורה. אני בחרתי להכין כרטיס קריס קרוס. יש המון הדרכות ברשת איך להכין אותו, אם כי אני הכנתי אותו בצורה טיפה שונה, קצת פשוטה יותר.

יש לי חדשות משמחות לשתף בהן, אבל אוכל לעשות זאת רק בשבוע הבא, אז תקפצו שוב :).

תודה שנכנסתן!

The Queen & Spiderman - lo

Edit: I won 'Directors choice award'

at From Screen2Scrap!!! Thank you, Shazza!

This lo is for From Screen 2 scrap, where the inspiration came from this movie poster:

I took thc colors and the theme of a lady & a gentelman, only my lady (me) is a little older than the gentelman (my eldest)...LOL The added criteriea were: shades of pink, a blue title and a handmade hat (well, what will the queen wear on her head|? The crown, of corse!

I used glimmer mist on the cs, and I cut the crown out of a glittered foam.

I used the sketch from Sketchy Thursdays:

I loved this sketch very much!

The photo is of my eldest and me, on our holiday Purim, when everybody dress up (at least the kids dress up. I love this holiday and try to maintain the tradition).

I'm also entering this lo for the following challenges: stitching - scrap and stamp satureday (plus a stamp, mine is the border flowery stamp); photo inspiration - paper play; spider webs - paper playtime; holiday - scrapping with I did it creations; shine - my partner in crafting crime; not a card - stamptacular sunday; childhood (dress up) - ella's pink scrapbook

With all the pink around this lo, I'm afraid I won't be able to put it for my eldest album, so I guess it'll stay with me, when my boy will live with HIS fair lady....

ANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD, I have some exciting news I wish to share with you, but I need to wait a few days! I'm so thrilled and happy about it! You just wait and see......

Thanks for stopping by!

את הדף הזה הכנתי לאתגר של השראה מפוסטר של סרט - From Screen 2 Scrap והפעם - גבירתי הנאווה.

התמונה צולמה בפורים לפני 3.5 שנים.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל!

Wait For Me - lo חכי לי

I've made this lo for the painting inspiration challenge at Artastic, which was 'A Summer Morning', by Rupert Bunny. There was also 3 criteria: shades of pink - done; pink rose/s - done (on cs and the dp); white bird/s - done.

The photo is of me, at the age of nearly 2 years, runnig after my mom, so the title says, in Hebrew: "wait for me".

I used the sketch from Stuck?! -

I used glimmer mist and a large piece of lace to make the pattern on the white cs. The flowers were made out of scraps, which I adhered to a white cs (I used it on this mini album, so here I  used scraps of scraps... LOL). These scraps are of BasicGrey, porcelain line, and some of Miss Elizabeth's, and a few others that I just don't remember their names. The square dp and the matting dp are K & Co., so I used more then 3 different paper from 3 different manufacturers, and so this lo goes also for the October's challenge over Scrapbookers Anonymous.

And I'm entering this lo also for the following challenges:

make your own embellishments - #40 polka doodles
misting - #12 beary sweet

color combo (pink, green & cream) - #55 colour create

wings - #26 city crafter

bling/glitter/sparkle (the letters for the title are glitter foam) - sweet stampin; the sisterhood of crafters; basicgrey (the flowers were made of BG scraps); #13 my partner in crafting crime

distress - the secret crafter; the town scrapper
childhood - ella's pink scrapbook
recipe (3 types of embellishments, 2 dp, 1 image) - simon says (my embellishments are lace, eyelets and ribbon)

Thanks for stopping by!

תמונה שלי, כשהייתי בת כמעט שנתיים, רצה אחרי אימי.

הפרחים עשויים מדף שהכנתי משאריות של דפים מדוגמים. דף הבסיס הוא קארדסטוק לבן שעליו השפרצתי גלימר מיסט דרך בד תחרה.

הרבה דיסטרסינג, שימוש בניטים, תחרה וסרט משי דק.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל!

Genesis - new beginnings for Scrap That Poetry and another happy mail

I've made this lo for the challenge over Scrap That Poetry, where the poem for inspiration was "The rock cries out to us" by Maya Angelou. What a meaningful poem! There was also a sketch provided to work with, created by Heidi:

At first I thought I'd use for this challenge a photo from our last trip, but then I decided to use this photo of my eldest, 4 days after he was born, for the inspiration drawn from the lyrics about give birth, new beginnings. Giving birth to my boy was the most powerful experience I've had in my entire life.
Throughout most of the pregnancy, there was an Israeli song that was playing in my head over and over again, called "Genesis". Especially I love the lines that says, in free translation: God had been mercy at dawn, and he gave you to me, for guardianship (pardon my very un proffesional translation...). My boy loves this song deeply (no wonder... ).
And so the title in Hebrew is "Genesis", and the journaling is that special line from that song. I also wrote most of the lyrics as a frame to the dp.

I wanted this lo to match a previous lo I've done, with another photo of my boy that was taken the same day. Here is the previous one:

I tried to keep most of the elements. I love how it turned out.

And I'm entering this lo also for the following challenges:

song inspiration - #73 allsorts

handwriting - frosted designs

DIY embellishments (the flower was made out of fabric) - #133 cute card thursday; #40 polka doodles

distressing - #104 the secret crafter; #50 if the shoe fits; the town scrapper

stripes - #24 speedy the cat

use acetate - #54 just us girls (the journaling was hand written on a vellum)

And look what a fab gift I got from my bloggy friend Maritha:

Such  beautiful candlesticks! Great decoration for our Friday's eve dinner table.
Thank you, Maritha, I was so excited and happy when I opened the envelope!

Thanks for stopping by!

דף עם תמונה של הבן  הבכור שלי, 4 ימים לאחר שנולד. לאורך כמעט כל ההריון התנגן לי בראש השיר "בראשית" בביצוע של שרון עזריה, ובמיוחד השורה "אלוהים היה רחום עם שחר, ולמשמרת נתן הוא לי אותך". את המילים של כמעט כל השיר כתבתי מסביב לנייר המדוגם, ואת השורה הזאת כתבתי עם עט ג'ל מטאלי על דף וולום. השתדלתי שעיצוב הדף יתאים לדף קודם שהכנתי עם תמונה שצולמה באותו יום.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל!

A lo and two cards

I've made this lo for the Scrap Whispers game. It's a great game, where you scraplift others lo, but in secret... LOL You can read all about it here. I do hope my team, team 5, will be the winner... Awesome prizes :).
The photos are of my youngest on his first day at the kindergarten, two years ago. I took that flower dp cause it matched the photos in colors of my boy's shirt and the flowers on the background.
I also want to share with you another two cards I've made for some challenges.

The first one was inspired by the many Halloween challenges all over blogland, and I took the colors (orange/black and purple):

The sentiment is a freebie made by Raindrop Echo and can be found over sentimental sundays (and I'm entering this card for the autumn/fall challenge over there).
I used the sketch from card patterns, and I really wanted to post it before the deadline, but just fell into a very deep sleep (after drinking some wine for Friday eve dinner... LOL), so I missed the dead line, but still...

Halloween - #21 fussy and fancy friday; #23 ecp; simon says; #33 osaat; #24 idic; paper romance; by the cute and girly; #28 meljens
autumn - #29 cuyl; #40 charisma; #20 cards for men;
digi stamp - creat4fun; #8 karber
not a square - totally gorguss
photo inspiration - #79 cupcake
use the cheapest stamp you have (mine is a digi freebie) - #21 just scraps
anything goes - elephantastic

The second card was made for 365 cards, where Pam asked for DIY pp with a theme. The digi stamp is from Simple Doodls:

And I'm entering this card to all the above autumn and digi stamp challenges.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely weekend!

את הדף המעוצב הזה הכנתי לאתגר/משחק שנקרא Scrap Whispers, שהעקרון בו הוא כמו במשחק "טלפון שבור", רק בדפים מעוצבים. :) יש קבוצות עם ראשי קבוצות, וכל אחת  מראשי הקבוצות קיבלה את אותו דף מעוצב שהכינה מארגנת המשחק. כל ראש קבוצה הכינה דף מעוצב שמבוסס על הדף הראשוני, העבירה את שלה לראשונה בקבוצה שלה, אח"כ זה עבר לבאה בתור,  וכן הלאה, עד לשלב הסופי בו הועלו כל הדפים המעוצבים באתר.

זה מדהים לראות את ההתגלגלות של העיצוב, עד כמה קרוב או רחוק זה מהדף המקורי.

התמונות הן של הבן הצעיר שלי, ביום הראשון בגן הילדים לפני שנתיים.

היה מעניין להשתמש בדף מדוגם שהוא מאד לא "גברי/בנים", פשוט בגלל שהצבעים התאימו לצבעי החולצה שבתמונה ולרקע הפרחים מאחורי הבן שלי. יצא דף מאד צבעוני ועליז.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל ושתהיה שבת נפלאה!

Winter Warmers (???)

Welcome to the new Simple Doodles challenge - "Winter Warmers". And this is my DT's card for this challenge:

Edit: This card won over Digi Doodles Shop's Best

for #28 challenge 'shades of orange'. Thanks!

The image is a prize I've won from Sew many cards, and the sentiment is a freebie from Verve stamps.
To tell the truth, this time I just didn't have the slightest idea what to make for my DT's job. Winter? now? here? I dressed my boys with long pants only today, and notice - with thin long pants, and they're still dressed up with short t-shirt. Maybe, only maybe, we'll have a little raining days this weekend, but winter??!!

But Trish is the boss... LOL (you just wait and see what challenge I've got on Simple Doodles in a few weeks... I think the gals over there wish I just didn't find this challenging thing... you wouldn't want to miss it...LOL).

So just to come over this challenging "winter warmers" thing, I used a few more challenges:

sketch - super sketchy sunday, with this sketch:

3 pp - #61 paper cutz
layer it on! - #79 stamptacular sunday
use orange - #49 if the shoe fits; #28 digi doodles shop's best
from  your stash - #28 paper sundeas (all dp are from my stash)
anything goes - sew many cards

And I want to share with you some great news!

Kathy, from Scrap Our Stash, asked me to stay as one of the DT!! Of course I said "Yes"!!

The only problem is that I'm stuck with this month's challenge... LOL I just need my creative juices to flow.... Where is that muse when you need it???? I do hope I'll get to it this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!

ל-Simple Doodles יש אתגר חדש - Winter Warmers. קשה קצת לחשוב "חורף" כשרק עכשיו הילדים התחילו ללבוש מכנסיים ארוכים. הכרטיס הזה הוא המקסימום שהצלחתי להפיק מעצמי בחשיבה על "חורף"...

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל ושיהיה סופ"ש נעים, רגוע ושלו.
