Warm and cosy

We have a new sketch for you at Scrap Africa, sketch #40:

Isn't it just an awesome sketch?

Here's my take on this sketch:

I used products from 7 Dots, Thoughts Keeper collection by the talented Olda Heldwein, that I got as a giveaway, thank you Tusia Lech for your generousity!

I used 12x12 pp no. 2, and papers from the 6x6 pad, stamps and stickers - all from that fab collection. and I would like to enter it to 7 Dots' challenge, which is 'Warm and Cosy, just like my youngest's photo, taken when he was just a baby. Here's the inspiration circle from the challenge:

I also used modeling paste with some Perfect Pearls over The Crafter's Workshop stencil, and some modeling paste over a doily stencil. 

To go along with the warm and cosy theme, I also adhered felt flowers, made with Die-Namics dies. StudioFourteen40' flairs, splatters of mists, dew drops, micro beads, large rhinestones, sequins and die-cut doily - and my lo is finished.

There's a lot of 3-D in this lo, so it also goes fot the 3-D challenge, exercise #2 at the Mixed Media Place.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

Happy - September Prima PPP & OUAS

Edit: featured on Prima's blog

This is my take on September's challenges at Prima PPP and Once Upon A...Sketch.

This is Prima's palette:

And this is the fab sketch by Nadia Cannizzo at OUAS:

Apart from (lots of) Prima's products, I also used 13Arts Ayeeda mists, Perfect Pearls mist and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. I also used Creative Embellishment chipboard, so it also goes for their September challenge.

Here are some close-ups on the detaisl:

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 ;-).

You make the earth move - Scrap Africa Sept 1st sketch challenge

A new sketch challenge at Scrap Africa, with a wonderful sketch by talented Denise. the sketch was very romantic, but I used it for an earthly page, with photos of my boys at Makhtesh Ramon Visitors Center. the boys were fascinated by the geoligical exhibition, and tried every single part of it. they loved to see how they can 'move' the earth.

Here's my take on the sketch:

For this lo, I used my August counterfeit kit, and TCW stencil with modeling paste, that I colored with some Perfect Pearls powder. I also worked with distress inks and mists over the chipboard gears, die cuts with the TH Sizzix Gadget Gears die. I added a flair and a chalkboard tab from StudioFourteen40. the background paper is from Crate Paper 'The Pier' collection.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

I was also inspired by the sketch, by the theme and by the colors I worked with, so I made a masculine birthday card:

Thank you for visiting my blog and for taking the time to leave me such lovely comments. I appreciate that very much!

Gadgets

This is my take on August challenge at Scrap The Boys, which asked to profile our boys. I used a photo of my oldest, playing with his smartphone, else what?....LOL

Like many other boys at his age, he just loves all tech things - pc, smartphones, tablets, any gadgets, and the title says, in Hebrew - Gadgets.

Going along with the masculine tech theme, I made a mixed media background, with lots of mists (13@arts Ayeeda chalk blue light and chalk turquoise, Lindy's Stamp Gang moon shadow mist treasure iland aqua, Ranger's Perfect Pearls mist copper), and Tim Holtz distress stain antiqued bronze. I worked with TCW stencils (stacked triangles and quatrefoil reversed),  and with several dies (Sizzix TH weathered clock and gadget gears; Memory Box tessatina border). I also used some fab gears chipboards from Creative Embellishments.
