An all occasions card for Altair Art

Hello dears,

Today it's my turn on Altair Art blog, and I'm sharing a card I've  made.

I love Altair Art papers very much. they're thick and beautiful, with a romantic and shabby chic feeling. They also have strips for fussy cutting and elements. Check their store HERE to see the amazing beautiful collections.

On to my card:

As you may know, I just love multi layers and distressing, so I did them both on this card.

The roses were made also from one of the dp with some MFT Royal Rose dies and I alos used Cheery Lynn mini Fancyful die to make the swirly leaf.

Here are some close-ups to the details:

I would like to enter it to the following challenges:

Creative Embellishments, with this so feminine moodboard, which inspired me with the vintage feeling, the many shades of purple and with the roses. Check their FB page for more details.

Another challenge I was inspired by was at LemonCraft, which is 'Violet Spring', with this beautiful moodboard:

Another beautiful moodboard, that I was inspired by is Summer Studio no. 42:

I was inspired by the big photo of the purple flowers and the green leaves.

A world that has been gone

A new challenge at CSI, special case file S365-9:

And this is my take on this case file: 

My clues were:

Scheme - all 5 colors are here.

Evidence - leaves/branches, music elements, mist, hearts, fence, scatter something (scattered Stars of David),.

Testimony - I documented about a journey I had recently to Poland. this photo was taken at the old Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw. I wrote my journaling right on the background, and it reads: "A journey in time, to a world that has been and don't exist anymore. Great communities, enriched colture, a varied world, fuul of content. The Jewish Cemetery at Warsaw, a very big one, full of old tombstones, that tell the story of people who lived and contributed to their people, as much as to their country. A cemetery with so much sorrow in it, with a monument for 1.5 million jewish children, who were murdered by the Nazis."

I used sketch #126 from Sektchabilities:

It also goes fot the 'Good 'ol Days' challenge at Simon Says Stamp & Show.

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.

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'.

My Childhood Adventures - CSI case file no. 140

There's an awesome new case file at CSI, case file #140:

And this is my take on this case file:

I used the sketch #123 from Sketchabilities (did you know thery're having a DT call?):

My clues to solve this case file were:

Scheme - all 5 colors are here.

Evidence - polka dots, hearts, wet medium, twine.

Testimony - my journaling, on the hidden tab behind the photo, is about my childhood adventures, as told to my boys on a roots tour we had a few months ago, and it reads: "What were my childhood adventures? Climbing high on a tree and waiving to my mom, who was on the balcony of our home. she was so afraid to scream at me, in case I would just fall off the tree; Putting a string across the sidewalk, while it was already darkness, with a plastic can with water, and bursting into laughter when people just stumbtled and the got wet by the water spilled on them; It was to pick pine nuts and crash their shells with a stone against the sidewalk, dreaming we were part of some acient tribe; Or thinking the high tree we climbed up was a plane, and I wad the pilot taking us to distant countries. What will your childhood adventures be, those that you will tell your future kids, my future grandkids?"
It also goes for Sept challenge at Scrap Around The World, with this beautiful moodboard:

I was very inspired by the vintage look of the books and the steampunk heart and by the redish/greenish colors of the books photo, and I tried to follow it with my design.
Here are some close-ups on the details:

Here's a 'strat to finish video, how I made this lo:

Door hanger

 I've made a door hanger for my office, to hang when I'm at a meeting. the background is in a mixed media style, while the flowers were cut from felt. I love the contradiction between the two parts, plus I got to use some of my hoarded felt :).

To make the flowers I used Die-namics dies, in different sizes.

I would like to enter it to the flower challenge at Craft Hoarders Anonymous, for their 'All pretty flowers' challenge.
For the colors I was very inspired by September moodboard at Sassy Scrapper:

I loved this moodboard so much, that I've made another project, inspired by this moodboard, to be revealed in a couple of days ;-).

Grapes Harvesting

Hello everyone and thank you for hoping to my blog :).
