October Afternoon recycled mini album

I've made a mini chunky album, with some October Afternoon old leftovers. it was given to the sweet young lady, who take care of my boys, and I left it untitled, as I didn't know what photos she'll add.

This is a recycled project. the cover was built from cereal package and the basis for the inside papers  are actually toilet paper rolls. I even used the cover of the 8X8 paper pad for the cover of the mini, so nothing was wasted :).

It has 6 inside pages, and on the inside of each cover I adhered a small evnvelope. each page has a pocket, and inside there's a mini semi book, where you can put 4 photos, or less, and add journaling. this mini album can contain more than 50 small photos!

Here are some close-ups:

I'd like to enter it to the 'fluttering butterflies' challenge at Lessology.

So Lucky

 

Edit: 2nd place winner at Berry71Bleu. thank you!

This is my take on some challenges:

Prima - March PPP, with this beautiful palette:

I used many Prima's products - papers, stamps, flowers and leavs, say it in crystals blings, sugar dots, flair buttons, alphas, chipboard and even packages. Some of the flowers on this lo, were made from Prima's papers with Die-namics dies and mists.

Berry71Bleu March challenge, which asked to have green as the dominant color, the word 'lucky' or 'luck', and some lace/doily. I took the 'green' thing a little further, and recycled Prima's packages.
I would also like to enter it to the 'free for all' challenge at Off the Rails Scrapooking.

I woudl like to enter it to the contest at Paper Issues, for the summer theme.

Escape from the daily routine

Edit: On the Watch List

at CSI case file #105

Today I'd like to share with you my take on case file #105 at CSI, and for some other challenges.

Here's case file #105 at CSI, with the fab sketch drawn by the talented Em Stafrace:

Here's how I solved the case:

Sketch - checked (I skipped the banner between the title and the small photo, but otherwise kept very close to the sketch);

Scheme - all 5 colors are there;

Evidence - circles, stars, stitching;

Testimony - I used the inspiration work 'Escape' both for my title and for my journaling (on the hidden tag), which says: "Routine can be so tiring. day after day - work, household duties, taking care of the kids, same supper, same place, same things.
Sometimes I just want to break away, but it's so  hard to do. Instead, I put some groceries in a basket and off we go the sea side. Playing with the waves, building sandcastles, eating on the mat, having lots of fun. This is my kind of escape from the daily routine, my very needed escape."
I guess most of you, moms, can realate to my journlaing, isn't it? :)
I was also inspired by the moodboard at Scrap Around The World:

My first inspiration was the beach theme, and the sand on the right upper photo. I was also inspired by the bouquet in the basket on that photo and by the cluster of tea cups, layered one on top of the other.
Here are some close-ups on the details:

The flourish chipboards were painted with Portfolio oil pastels and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The small frame (Imaginarium designs) was also painted with Portfolio oil pastel and heat emobossed with honey embossing powder, the same as I used for the stars on the background.
I matted the photos with a recycled item - a package of Hebrew alphabet set, so it also goes for the recycling challenge at Scrap Africa, and since the matting is with polka dots pattern, it also goes for the polka dots challenge at Frosted Designs.
The flowers were made with Die-Namics dies. 
Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog. Your comments are much appreciated.

דף חדש שנוצר בהשראה של כמה אתגרים, ומשלב הרבה טכניקות, הן בבניית הרקע והן בשימוש בצ'יפבורדים.
השתמשתי בצ'יפבורדים לבנים וצ'יפבורדים קראפט, שעברו טיפולים עם צבעי שמן ואבקות אמבוסינג. הפרחים נחתכו עם תבניות חיתוך של die-namics. הרקע עבר טיפול של מסיכות עם אבקת אמבוסינג, דיו דיסטרס, חותמות, מיסטים (ירוק ואפור). הכותרת הורכבה מטיקרס ומאותיות מקולקציה של Fancy Pants.

תודה שקפצתן לבקר וכמו תמיד אני שמחה לקרוא את תגובותיכן.

A year in review - mini albums and altered projects

It is almost the end of 2012, and it's time to make some scrappy review. This time about mini albums and cards I've made this year (for more close-ups, you can click on the title of each photo, to see the full post about the specific project).

I've made only 4 mini albums this year, so I'll show you all of them:

 Our Vacation - Summer 2011

The basis of the album, as well as the binding, is selfmade :).

A weekend in the north (Cosmo Cricket products):

This lo was made on a pre-cut chipboards and the binding was done simply with a metal ring.

My inspiration mini notebok, made from envelopes (Jillibean Soup dp):

Summer fun with Mom (Jillibean Soup products):

Once again, I've made by myself this album from start to end. It has many openings, tags, etc. I also did the binding by myself, and I think this mini is the best I've made ever, concerning the binding. I hope next year to improve my skills in binding mini albums.

I've made several altered projects:
Altered frame:

Altered notebook:

Altered notepads & calendar:

Altered gift box:

Thank you for stopping by! please come back tomorrow, for another review.

השנה האזרחית מתקרבת לסיומה, וזו הזדמנות טובה לסקור את העשייה הסקראפית במהלך השנה האחרונה. הפוסט הזה, ראשון בסקירות, מתמקד במיני אלבומים ובפרוייקטים מעוצבים (שכולם על בסיס מיחזור).

תודה שקפצתן לבלוג שלי  להסתכל ואתן מוזמנות לבוא גם מחר, לסקירה נוספת.
