Like an old vine lo

This LO  was published in September 2010 issue of SNR magazine

This page is a " redone" lo- I did some page with this cut to 3 photo and with some of bellies- but I didn't like it at all - so I decided to do it again- and now I am very pleased with the result

and as it is for my DH - he is like an old vine- better and better - I am glad that I did it again

I did it mainly for Tando creative DT using there wonderful grape leaves- I colored them with Marvy markers, added some pen for vines and covered with 3d clear glue

The products I used here are DCWV purple cardstock, Dream street paper patterned cardtock, some pealed green and butter paper, very old Provo craft rub- ons, AC ribbon, Tim Holtz metal parts, Spellbinders vine label and 2 alphas- October afternoon chopboards and MM cork.

As for techniques:

MS border punch and butterfly punch, embossing,coloring, rub ons on the photo and 3d cut all over the page,pleating the ribbon, stamping on acetate with Stazon ink, distressing and inking the edges, faux white pen stitching and finally dooing some grapes using 3d glue directly on the paper and vintage purple beads and anothe grapes using distress stickles

And noe for some other web challenge:

Sketch- just moved it to other side- for Creative craft world

Acetate- the clock- for Creative cottage

Purple and green for Crafts and me

REDO the page for Yellow umbrella- and here is an old page link

This page won a paint challenge on Belli blog- thanks

This new page was done for my Tando creative DT and with a prespective for SNR call for using hardware items on your page.

So for Tando I used this anchor chipboard painted with white Ranger crackled paint and spotted with old tooth brush technique acrylics- just like water splats all over the page

For SNR I used all the following items:

laundry rope, ball chain, green electric wire, cork,blue industria tape, sand paper, metal copper tape,piece of metal gentle mesh, copper wire

This is a page with our own Israeli Red sea fish and corals- my DD is a diver- so I have lots of great underwater photos.

I used one Bazzill cardstock and a very old Daisy D's pp and then did this homemade life

buoy- I hope this is the name of it as in Hebrew we call it "lifeguard weel"- from old reused back of some paper pad, hand cut with 2 kitchen plates, inked with some distress inks and I added this blue tape and a rope for the real look.

I also did some sea weeds from green wire, stamped some clouds with Paper studio stamps, added some sand from teared sand paper, and some water splats with 3d clear glue

And as always- I don't have any new alpha sets- so I used 4!!- Pink paislee, MM. AC and Dovecrafts- this one ws a Rak and a new one

The plastic shells are from Dress it ups and the I also added one old Ek sticker

And it's good for some other web challenges too:

Use a tape- I used blue indaustial and copper metal tapes here for Scrap your crap

This page won July monthly challenge on Melody scrapbooking blog- thanks!!
This page won doodling challenge on Paper niche blog- thanks!!!

This huge hoto is about 2 years old and was taked by prof on our sea trip to Carrebean on my twin 21th B- day. They were living then in USA and my DH and I decided to give them this sea cruse as a gift (also we enjoyed it too very much)

So now it was a great time to scrap it- as nobody can see it in the folder- it's not even digi - but scanned..

Let me show u wht we have here:1 AC carstock/ piece of used Jenny Bowlin punched paper (used , not new),very old non brand chip alphas- maybe 4 years old or more, home doily, very old Heidi Swapp photo corner, some crft shop cheap lace pleated as a border,2 self made pins- I did them ages ago and never used, Tim Holtz die cut- part of the die, I used the other part, vintage music paper, vintage book paper for the homemade flower, crochet homemade flower, punched and misted butterfly,some bloommers from Webster I won, some Prima flowers and crystals. part of Prima pearl swirls- I still have more then half, stamped on acetate watches...

And for the techniques- lots of distressing with inks, using a doily as a temlate, faux hand stitching, home made flowers and punching..
Took me 3 hours to decide on the additional color to cream- brown- I was in between reddish pink or blue- blue won as I had a crochet and pin dne in blue..

King of Traveland lo-'CCW July Challenge - Holidays!

 This page was published in Oct/Nov 2010 issue of SNR magazine

This page made TOP3 on Sketches in time sketch challenge- thanks!!

CCW have this great prize this week- so holidays it is- an from here to all other challenges..

For mostly one photo scrapper the sketch I decided to do from Sketches in time was a real challenge as I used 4 photos of my second son Amir from his long- long trips all around the world

The title is my own - I never met this Traveland anywhere- maybe there is one in some kids book but English is my third language so I think I was inventive for Hebrew and Russian speaker.

I used 3 Prima pp- some were hand cut, some used as a long strip and some circle cut.

The title was from AC thickers- I was so glad I could use only one font here as the set wasn't a new one.

The embellishment were pure masculine: Tim Holtz chipboard die cut for some kind of journaling, Tim's metals with brads, some altered green brad- the face is rub on, I also used some butterfly rub on on the photo and some for journaling on chipboard and some for the tickets I die cut with Tim's die and stamped with Inkadinkado ticket stamps. I added the lion head for a " king" and a playing king card - dooble king he is..

I also did some distressing with a tool and inks and I had to stop as the so called " white space" was empty and these clouds- birds- pinweels- butterflies could be there, but no....

This was too- too much and I dropped the idea after I actually did 2-3 die cuts of each of them .

I also used some border punch for a piece of matting around the biggest photo- for highlight mostly and matted the focal photo with yellow cardstock matting too.

So no flowers and no ribbons and no lace and swirls and no feminine pieces- was hard!!

But the result is something I like- focusing in photos and the title and very magestic nd summery and even a bit shabby as much as not girly page can be.

Baby monkey happy 1 st year card

This is my last job as a GD on Craft your passion- this summer I decided to concentrate in doing what I want whenever I want so guest DT is the best way to do some teams but not to be too busy with crafting " by list"
I realy enjoyed to work with digis- I even begin to like it.. I did different techniques on digis- glitter, waterpencil coloring, markers and this last one was done with flock powder and plastic hands and feet added on the image
I used Lauretta's sketch and decided not to use flowers or ribbons- so plastic buttons and chipboard number were my only embellishments here
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK LAURETTA FOR THE OPORTUNITY TO DESIGN FOR HER BLOG WITH HER OWN IMAGES AND COCODINGO IMAGES AND I WILL PLAY WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE
