No limitations - CSI case file no. 144

A new case file at CSI, case file #144, with one of my all time fav color palette:

This is my take:

I used sketch #125 from Sketchabilities:

My clues to solve the case were:

Scheme - all colors are here.

Evidence - paint (gesso, mist, distress stain, Ecoline), polka dots, triangles, lightbulb, buttons (flair buttons).

Testimony - I used the inspiration word 'limit' both for my title, which says in Hebrew - 'No Limitations', and for my journaling, which I also placed on a stamped journaling spot. and it reads: "Each year, on your birthday, we go to the chocolate restaurant, and you eat chocolate. lots of chocolate. without any limitation. once a year...".

It also goes for the 'line' challenge at Paperdvizhnik. their DT are so talented and the blog is full of inspiration! pop over and take a look.
Here are some close-ups on the details:

Here's a video of how I made the background:

materials:

papers - Fancy Pants, mostly from 'Park Bench' collection.

inks - Ranger's TH distress inks, Ranger's Adirondack inks, Ranger's Archival ink.

stamps - Unity Stamps, Prima, Autumn Leaves

paints -  13@arts Ayeeda chalk mist, Mr. Huey's mist, Ecoline.

stencils - The Crafter's Workshop.

chipboards - Creative Embellishments.

So Amazing - Stuck?! Sketches Oct 15th reveal

Another post of mine, again with a DT project. this time it's a lo for Stuck?! Sketches new sketch challenge. here's the beautiful sketch, drawn by the talented Laura:

And this is my take:

Fetured at Berry71Bleu

As you can see, I didn't use the hexagon shapes at all. instead I used leaves for my background and stamping, as you'll be able to see in the 'start to finish' video right at the bottom of my post.

For this lo I was inspired very much by the October moodboard at Berry71Bleu:

I really loved the rustic feeling and the color combo, and made my layout with this inspiration. 

Another challenge I was inspired by was the current challenge at Frosted Designs, which is fall colors, ink and bling. I have all 3 of them on my lo :).

Here are some close-ups on the details:

Good Luck card with a list of wishes - Scrap Africa October 15th reveal

Hi everyone! it's the 15th of the month, so it's a little busy here in my bloggy world, as I have 3 different DT projects to share, each on a seperate post :), so let's get started.

At Scrap Africa, our leader, the lovely Denise, asked us to make a projects with a list, which includes at least 10 items. well, this challenge was right up my alley, as I needed a 'good luck' card for our babysitter, who starts her B.A studies in a few days.

My card is fairly simple, no mixed media this time LOL:

For the list part, I used a My Mind's Eye stamp, which consist of 10 numbered lines, and I also framed it with a frame stamp, then I tucked it into a burlap pocket. I also used Prima stitches stamp on the backgroun dotty paper, added a die-cut felt flower and two ribbon roses, cut some felt leaves - and I'm done!

On the list I wrote our wishes for her, may she succeed. we love her dearly.

Here are some close-ups on the the details:

Thank you for stopping by and I would love to read your comments.

Growing - CSI case file no. 143

A new case file at CSI, and this time with a fab sketch by Em Stafrace, here's case file #143:

And here's my take on it:

Page Drafts Gallery Standout for October 2014

I used 3 photos of my youngest, from different periods, documenting his growing up.

My clues to solve the case were:

Scheme - all colors are here.

Evidence - mixed media background, a frame, pen work, flowers, circles, book pages.

Testimony - I wrote my journaling directly on the background, and it reads: "Day after day I enjoy seiing you growing, from a baby to a cheerful smiling boy, very sensetive with a big warm heart. love you very much. Mom."
Here's a video how I created this layout:

Simple Pleasures - Stuck?! October 1st reveal

It's a new month, so at Stuck?! Sketches we have a fab new sketch, drwan by talented Laura Whitaker:

This time we also partnering with the color combo from Color Me Scrappy:

And this is my take on the sketch and the the palette:

Patterned papers are Jillibean Soup, and so is the label die-cut on the upper right corner and the journaling tag behind the photo. I also used products from our sponsor, Scrapmatts - the wood titles and the big butterfly chipboard.
I also used Prima stencil, dies (Die-Namites, Memory Box, Die-namics) and Marta Stewart's punches.
I would like to enter it to the current challenge at Frosted Designs - 'Fall'.
Here are some close-ups on the details:
