My Soccer Players - lo שחקני הכדורגל שלי

On a sunny afternoon, this Passover vacation, my kids were playing soccer with friends at the playground nearby. Boy, they run... so much energy! so much fun! Two stones for each goal and there they are, free like birds. It was hard to take those photos (I'm not that expert... LOL), but I find that there is beauty in that catching the movement, even if some of the photos are a little blurry.

The title says simply, in Hebrew: "soccer", and the journaling says: "two stones and we already have a goal, a goaltender, a player and a ball".

This lo was made as DT over simple doodles- the challenge is "inspire others", and anything goes. Come and play with us!

supplies: cs - DCWV; dp - ATD; blue vellum - Miss Elizabeth; punch - EK corner punch; stamp - a freebie from Bugaboo stamps; cs for the title & the matting for the photos - unknown; letters - vinyl letters page from a local 1$ shop, that I transfered into hebrew; doodling - white pen (unknown); watter color pencils; stickles; ribbons, sticker - from my stash.

I'm entering this lo to these challenges:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely weekend!

בחופשת פסח האחרונה הילדים שיחקו כדורגל בגן השעשועים הקרוב. אילתרו עם שתי אבנים לכל שער והתרוצצו בחופשיות ובכיף. היה קשה לצלם, ואני לא מיומנת יותר מידי בצילום, בטח לא של ילדים בתנועה נמרצת.... ועדיין יש בעיני יופי גם כאשר התמונות קצת מטושטשות. הן נוצרות רגעים של הנאה וכיף.

קצת על העשייה:  את הקארדסטוק החום "לכלכתי" בצבע אקרילי לבן ואח"כ עם דיו ירקרק. את ההשראה לכך (ואת האמת - גם את האומץ...:)) קיבלתי, כמובן, מפיית המרציפן. בזכותה אני גם מעיזה לעשות דודלינג חופשי על דפי האלבום ולהוסיף גם טוליפ/דבק נצנצים בלי להסס בכלל, וכך עשיתי את המסגרת מסביב בעט לבן ואת הנקודות כמסגרת לריבוע הפנימי. פשוט כשהכנתי את הדף, משהו נראה היה לי "עירום", ואחרי התוספת - הייתי הרבה יותר מרוצה.

את הריבוע הפנימי המסולסל יצרתי בעזרת פאנצ' פינות שהורדתי לו את ה'כנפיים'.

את הכותרת - שיחקתי עם אותיות ויניל שקניתי בביג דיל כדי ל"עברת" אותן, שוב עם הרבה עזרה מטבלת ההמרה שיצרה פיית המרציפן (אגב, את ה"ל" יצרתי מ-"S" שהוספתי לה תוספת קטנה לסגור את העיגול למטה, ואת ה"ד" מ- "3" שחתכתי קצת למטה. אולי באמת כדאי להכין טבלת המרה גם לאותיות כתב...רעיון.).

הדמות שהוספתי היא חותמת דיגיטלית חינמית והוספתי גם כיתוב קטן על הסרט המנוקד - מדבקה מדף מדבקות בנושאי כדורגל, כמובן.

תודה שקפצתם לבקר! שיהיה לכם סופ"ש נעים ומהנה!

חנוכה, חנוכה, חג עליז כל כך! Happy Hanukkah

אחד ממינהגי החג האהובים עלי (בילדות יותר, כיום פחות :-)), הוא דמי החנוכה.

הילדים שלי מחכים כבר לדמי החנוכה כל כך, לדעתי כבר מראש השנה....

אז לכבוד המאורע החגיגי, הם הכינו קופסאות חסכון לאיסוף דמי החנוכה שיקבלו, ואז ירוצו בחדווה לחנות הצעצועים הקרובה לקנות לעצמם את שחשקה נפשם.

One of the most cheeful customs of Hanukkah is giving money to the children. It called "Hanukkah's money".

My kids are waiting for their hanukkah's money probably from the Jewish New Year (three months ago...).

So for the "lots of money" they'll get (as they think....we don't give so much...), they made these lovely saving boxes.

and they go for these challenges:

boxes - week 50 lots to do

the holidays are here! - occ

gift (anything but a card!) - #23 creative inspirations

An altered gift box

Here is an altered gift box, and it goes for the following challenges:

turquoise - #1 easy craft projects

color - colour create

snowy Tilly

I also embossed and distressed the pale blue cardstock and put under the image vellum. the sentiment is rub-ons.

even though it might give a chilly feeling, I find it quite a warm feeling card. that's it.

My hunged love for you

This hung up challenge at 365 cards was quite hard for me, since we don't celebrate Christmas, so the theme is not familiar to me. We do have one holiday, when we hang up ornament, but it was 2 month ago and I didn't feel like making decoration fot this holiday.

I just crossed this tutorial for a very beautiful heart shaped card (highly recomended to hop and take a look, the have very beautiful tutorials), and was planning to make one for this challenge, but then Tesab was quicker tham me, so I felt I can't make the same card to this challenge (Tesa, once again- I think your heart card is just fab!

So I made a different heart, with a hidden sentiment, seen when you open the heart... It is small enough to be hung over the car's mirror, for example..

I love this color combo, it is so elegant. the swirls are in silver, but it is hard to tell from the photo.

still have tomorrow to finish the last card for this week at 365 cards... (have I already said I'm adicted?...)

האתגר הזה ב- 365cards היה מהיותר מורכבים עבורי. הבקשה הייתה לכרטיס שהוא גם עיטור תלוי, כשהדוגמא הייתה עיטור לעץ חג המולד (למרות שלא הייתה כלל דרישה לקשר לחג המולד). חשבתי להכין סביבון (חחחחח...), ממש כמו שתלוי בגני הילדים, אבל איכשהו זה לא התחבר לי במוזה.

נתקלתי בהדרכה ליצירת לב עם שתי וערב של ניירות מדוגמים (כאן - מומלץ מאד להיכנס, יש להם הדרכות מאד מעניינות), וחשבתי להכין כזה, אבל אז מישהי הקדימה אותי ולא רציתי להכין כרטיס זהה, גם אם הניירות המדוגמים היו שונים.

בסופו של דבר הכנתי את הלב הקטן הזה, שיש בו מסר נסתר כשפותחים את הקשר (ואת הלב...). בגודל הוא מספיק קטן כדי שניתן יהיה לתלות אותו על המראה ברכב, למשל.

and it goes for these challenges:

1. I'm hung up - day #254 365 cards

2. color combo - blue, white and silver - colour create

3. hidden (the sentiment inside the heart) - abc

4. store ad inspiration - etsy inspired (see the photo I chose)

5. doodling - creative inspirations

6. another doodling - creative card crew

7. thinking of you - simon says

8. glittery - cute card thursday

9. recipe - 1 tag, 1 sentiment, 1 ribbon - C.R.A.F.T.

10. tags so much! - my time to craft

11. bling it on - frosted designs

An easel birthday cupcake inspiration, just too late..

I was planning to do this easel card on time, since the web was full with easel cards challenges, but plans are sooooooo good till you come to implement them.. I just didn't plan right the order of making the 365 cards challenges. Well, it doesn't matter that much, since I got to learn this new technique of easel card. for those of you who are not familiar with this technique, here is a wonderful video tutorial. it's amazing how easy it is to make these cards.

I fell in love with these kind of cards, and I'm sure I'll be making lots of them in the future.

I love the outcome - cupcake is one of my fav images, the color combo is also one that I love, and I think that the dp goes perfectly with the colors here.

so it goes for the following challenges:

1. picture this - day #257 365 cards

2. cupcake inspiration - hope stamp eternal

3. punching - the digikitty (the corners of the pp under the cupcake)

4. geting punchy! - la la land (same)

5. dry embossing - just us girls (the whole front was dry embossed - the pp under the cupcake, the cup itself' the 3 layers of the toping), and it was made as a birthday card (Happy Birthday, Dana!).

6. emboss something - die cuts r us

7. embossing - lots to do

8. hand stamp or digi - paper cutz (the sentiment is from new hand stamp I got)

9. feeling a bit distressed - design dollies (the edges of the sentiment were inked with 'really raspberry' pigment ink).

10. buttons - gingersnap

11. digi sparkle - paper take (the pink paper of the layer and the cherry are shimering and I add some glitter touch.

12. glitter my silly -cute card thurday )again)

13. new or neglected - cinspirations - the sentiment stapm is new.

14. stamp something - crafty cradmakers

15. glitter - prosted designs

16. out of my comfort zone - paper manic - not using any flower, any riboon, any rehinestones, just the image on front - that was a challenge for me.

Let's play tictactoe rick rack!

Well, I guess rick rack & buttons are perfect pair.... they sure can play together... LOL.

The last days were very intensive at work and at home. so I couldn't find enough time to scrap :( . But now it's weekend, so I hope I can catch up a little.

anyway, I had no real rick rack riboons at home, and didn't have time to go shopping (did I hear a relife sigh from my bank accountant?), so I had to use what I already have... and that happen to be paper accents I bought a few weeks ago and hardly used (neglected...), and since it was in neutral colors, I just colored it with acrylics and so I did to the small buttons, just to get to the exact color I wanted.

The only problem is that my kids want to play tic-tac-toe with the card...

The colors of this card make it another 'male card'... )where are all the pink florish card had gone?...., well, don't worry, now I'm off to make the cupcake challenge at 365 cards, so pink will glory again...

have a lovely weekend. here it finally starts raining...

and the cards goes for the following challenges:

1. perfect pair: rick rack & buttons -day #256 - 365 cards

2. sketch - #42 icsketches

3. colors - #4 play date cafe

4. buttons - gingersnap supply

5. cardstock - practical scrappers

6. new or neglected - cinspirations - the rick rack was neglected, the sentiment is of new rub-ons I just bought.

7. color - color dare

A dream in blue and green

Here is my card for these challenges:

1. Super Sketchy Sunday - day #253 - 365 cards

2. Sketch - CPS #141

3. Colours - Blue, Green, Black & White only - paper cutz

4. Bling - allsorts

5. Stiching - my grafico

6. Stich it up - kraftin' kimmie

Pink Alice in Green Wonderland

This is a birthday card for a 7 years old girl. She is having a birthday party in 2 days and my older kid will bring her this card (plus a present, of course... LOL).).

I made the flowers from a tamplate I have, and the leaves were made according to this tutuorial.

I like the way Alice came out, she looks so young, innocent & expect something exiting to happen. The greeting letters I made myself long time ago.

I'm not sure whether it is a 'green card' or a 'pink card'. so I put it for both ot them....

and it goes for this challenges:

the corrosive challenge - sketch; bee crafty - photo inspiration (lovely colours); abc - G is for green; craftycardmaker - stamp something (My alice is stamped; my time to craft - so many scallops; digital tuesday - flowers; ; creative card crew - Ribbons & gems; - bring the bling; la la land - pink. ; one stop craft challenges - cards for kids; 2redbananas - recipe; pile it on - leaves.

White space

A real challenge for me, to leave the card almost untouched... LOL.

Day 252 at 365 cards, and the instruction were to leave the "white" space with no decorations. I decided to leave the whole card only with the white lace ribbon as a decoration.

I think the embossed white paper and the black and red dp are enough. kind of simple and elegant.

I haven't decided yet for what purpose this card will be, so I didn't write anything. If necessary,I can always add it.

and this time it goes for not many challenges (don't know if I can sleep quietly not fulfill many challenges as possible... LOL)

and the challenges are:

1. Day 252 - White space - http://365cards.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-252-white-space.html

2. Colour - Red & Black - http://cinspirations.blogspot.com/2009/11/challenge-34-red-black.html

3. Inspiration - http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/2009/11/play-date-cafe-challenge-pdcc03.html with this card I fulfilled all 7 cards of this week. It was a great challenge for me, combining it with all other life projects (full time job, kids, house - you name it), but I"m so glad I did it.

Thank you so much!

Gloria from 365 cards brought this ad to inspire us all. I know I'm not too original being inspired to a wreath, but still from the very begining I knew that I'll be making a wreath of fall leaves on a golden platform. and so it was. later on I saw this sketch at carismacardz, that looked to me just perfect for the wreath. and I realy placed the enormous small punched leaves on a golden cardstok my sister gave me a few weeks ago.

at first, I stamped a heart rubber stamp in the middle of the wreath, but I didn't like the outcome at all, so I took this green paper I ambossed in a cold ambossing, and printed this rake digi stamp. It was a good opportunity to use it.

I could't resist making and using another fan flower... LOL.
