Nantes December 2018 - 13@rts & Sketches In Thyme

At the last day of this year, I'm sharing a layout I've made for two challenges.

One is the inspiration challenge at 13@rts blog:

I was inspired by the main image - the plaid pattern, the christmas trees, the wood floor, and the theme.
I've used 13@rts' stitches and word stickers, as well as their white ink.

The 2nd challenge is a sketch challenge from Sketches In Thyme, sketch no. 401 (I rotated the sketch on the side):

Here're some close-ups:

I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Just Coffee

The falling leaves, the cooler days and nights, all are screaming for somthing warm and cozy, and drinking coffee with a good friend is so perfect.

I used my November Counterfeited kit for this layout.
I used 1st sketch from Sketches in Thyme:

I was inspired by several challenges:

13@rts, with this beautiful moodboard:

I was mainly inspired by the 2 photos on the right and left corner on the bottom - the beautiful blanket and the table.

13@rts products that I've used are:

Ayeeda mists - pearl brown light, chalk yeallow amber and pearl old gold;

Rainbow color - brown;

Alice in Cancyland stickers.

The 2nd challenge was Mixed Media Place, again with a beautiful autumnly moodboard:

I was inspired by the colors: different shades of brown and cream, orange, yellow and gold.

The 3rd challenge is the soft and suble moodboard from Creative Embellishments:

I was inspired by the colors of brown, cream, gray and yellow/gold. For the twist of wood, I used heart and arrow wood veneer.

Land that I love

Runner Up at More Than Words 

for September challenge

It was Election day this week here in Israel, so apart from voting, I celebrated the day off by making a layout with an inspiration so matching the day.

The current challenge at More Than Words challenge blog is 'Origin plus colors of your country's flag'.

I was born and raised in Israel. this is my homeland, land that I love.

Our flag's colors are blue and white, and the design of the flag is inspired by the Talit design - stripes at the edges and Magen David (star of David) in the middle. I used these elements in my layout.

I used a photo of David's tower in Jerusalem, this is one of Israel's most famous sights.

I was also inspired by the current challenge at Creative Embellishments 

Mostly by the hues of blue in the tubes. I also used some flairs (some of CE) for the twist of a circular element. The flourish chipboards are also of CE.

To color the chipboards, I use Lindy's Gang embossing powders (Midnight Copper, Madonna Robe Blue Gold and Desert Moon Turquoise).

The Magen David is made by two opposite triangles, so I used 7 Dots Studio stamp of triangles (Dreamscapes), heat embossed with Lindy's ep (Purely White).

Some of the stamps on the background are  49 and Market (Pascale's Grammer). The flowers are all 49 and Market (Blossom Blends Cotton, Blossom Blends Sea Breeze, Vintage Shades Potpouri blue and cotton).

Inks are TH tea dye distress ink, and Ranger's archival inks sepia and jet black).

Papers are 13Arts, Mintay Papers, Fancy Pants and Craft O'clock - all from my September Counterfeit Kit (and so are CE flairs)

Mediums - Finnabair's gesso, clear and white.

Fly Away - September's Counterfeit Kit

Once again I'm playing with Counterfeit Kit, which have a special kit for this month, designed just for the blog, by Secret Not Secret Kit Club. Here's the inspiration kit:

I really loved it! finally a masculine kit :).

As usuall, I started by the colors, then the patterns and other items that my eyes were drawn to (like the white doodled ellipses on a gray paper, and the paper with the pine trees).

I decided that I MUST include some old papers and items in my kit in order to de-stash, along with more new papers/ items.

So here's my 'Fly Away' kit:

Papers side A:

Papers side B:

Add on papers side A:

Add on papers side B:

Embellishments:

I counterfeited the trees paper using Deep Red rubber stamp with different inks, I made a 7X5 kraft paper with cameras, using a Jillibean's stamp and embossing it with Lindy's ep.

Next I die cut some words from foam, and 2 others from a heavy wheight black cs, and then heat embossed it with a dark blue shiny Lindy's ep.  I also made my own doodled ellipses:

I also die cut some stars, tags, arrows, and made some 'tickets'.

I didn't include cs, stamps, mixed media products and stencils, as I will use them anyway along the way.

I already have some project in mind to use with my kit, so stay tuned....

Let's eat cake - Scrap The Boys April challenge

Scrap The Boys has a great challenge this month - 'Let's eat the cake!'

I have a perfect photo for this challenge - my boys with macaroons at a cafe in Paris.

I've used my April counterfeit mini kit, and did a lot of fussy cutting of floral elements.

I kept my layout very simple - no dimensional, no mixed media - clean & simple. I had so much fun making this one!

The pink/green dp is Lemoncraft - both sides of the same paper. I also added some 13@rts stickers and fussy cut the milkshake element.

Here're some close-ups:
