Look out world

A page in a retierment greeting album, full of mixed media.

I'm entering it to the August challenge at Kaisercraft blog, whith the theme of 'cogs'.

I also enter this page to the current challenge at Words&Paintery, with this beautiful inspiration:

And to the challenge at Mixed Media & Art, with this amaizing moodboard:

I was inspired by the colors of brown and green, with a little touch of gold/yellow, and by the theme of the wood.
I've used Kaisercraft papers, MemoryBox dies, 7Dots Studio stickers and some metal embellies from my stash.

Here are some close-ups:

Retirment greetings album (front cover) - Words from the heart - mixed media style

My boss is retiring and I'm working on a greetings album from all of our department.

It's a great challenge for me to create a masculine project, and I hope he would love it. The title says: Words from the heart.

Here're some close ups:

Lots of mixed media here - TCWmasks, TH masks, gesso, lindy's stamp gang mists, glitter, embossing powders, microbeads, chipboards, metalic elements, distress stain, etc.

I'm entering it to the challenge at Mixed Media Place, with this beautiful moodboard:

I really love the gold with blue combination of the beach photo and the teal road with the rustic colors of the woods.

I had a very hectic week, but managed to squeeze in this layout:

The photo was taken last Sept., when we went to our Jewish New Year vacation. I'm so happy and thankful that I can spend time with my boys, relaxing and traveling, just hanging out with my boys.

All papers, apart from the kraft cs, are from Fancy Pants 'Collecting Moments' collection, and so are the die-cuts, sticker, flair, buttons, tag and printed chipboards.

I also used chipboards from Creative Embellishments, applying different mediums on them. 

The flower is Manor House.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

It goes for the following challenges:

moodboard plus something you're thankful for - Creative Embellishments (plus using at least one of their products):

A Journey notebook - Scrap Africa tag challenge

Hi everyone, 

At Scrap Africa we have a new challenge, and this time the theme is 'Tag it!', you can make any project you like, and you need to use at least 2 tags on you project.

I made a journaling notebook for my travel to Poland last month:

It was a 5 days journey, so I made 5 diveders for each day

On the cover (front & back) and on the diveders, I placed many tags. in a few days, I will upload a video of how I made these tattered tags, so stay tuned.

It's a mixed media project and I used lots of mediums here. 

Since there are many close-ups photos, I've made  video, showing my project:

I would like to enter it to the following challenges

cogs - scrapki-wyzwaniowo

moodboard - Tresors de Luxe challenge (Tresors de Luxe etsy shop):

paints, watercolors or gellatos - Scrap it Girl I used lots of mists, distress stains, magicals, etc.

stamps - mixed media I used lots of stamps making the inner diveders (see the video).

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.

No limitations - CSI case file no. 144

A new case file at CSI, case file #144, with one of my all time fav color palette:

This is my take:

I used sketch #125 from Sketchabilities:

My clues to solve the case were:

Scheme - all colors are here.

Evidence - paint (gesso, mist, distress stain, Ecoline), polka dots, triangles, lightbulb, buttons (flair buttons).

Testimony - I used the inspiration word 'limit' both for my title, which says in Hebrew - 'No Limitations', and for my journaling, which I also placed on a stamped journaling spot. and it reads: "Each year, on your birthday, we go to the chocolate restaurant, and you eat chocolate. lots of chocolate. without any limitation. once a year...".

It also goes for the 'line' challenge at Paperdvizhnik. their DT are so talented and the blog is full of inspiration! pop over and take a look.
Here are some close-ups on the details:

Here's a video of how I made the background:

materials:

papers - Fancy Pants, mostly from 'Park Bench' collection.

inks - Ranger's TH distress inks, Ranger's Adirondack inks, Ranger's Archival ink.

stamps - Unity Stamps, Prima, Autumn Leaves

paints -  13@arts Ayeeda chalk mist, Mr. Huey's mist, Ecoline.

stencils - The Crafter's Workshop.

chipboards - Creative Embellishments.

flair buttons and vellum circle - StudioFourteen40.

So Amazing - Stuck?! Sketches Oct 15th reveal

Another post of mine, again with a DT project. this time it's a lo for Stuck?! Sketches new sketch challenge. here's the beautiful sketch, drawn by the talented Laura:

And this is my take:

Fetured at Berry71Bleu

As you can see, I didn't use the hexagon shapes at all. instead I used leaves for my background and stamping, as you'll be able to see in the 'start to finish' video right at the bottom of my post.

For this lo I was inspired very much by the October moodboard at Berry71Bleu:

I really loved the rustic feeling and the color combo, and made my layout with this inspiration. 

Another challenge I was inspired by was the current challenge at Frosted Designs, which is fall colors, ink and bling. I have all 3 of them on my lo :).

Here are some close-ups on the details:

and here's the 'start to finish' video I made:

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'.
Here are some close-ups on the details:
