SPRING CARD #3

I wasn't so productive this weekend(Sunday is a working day here in Israel- so my weekend is off..)- only 3 cards , no mojo and blank head..

So I did this third card for some challenges and just because I found this 3 great buttons I got for ages in my stash.So soem Bg papers, some Prima flowers, some fast folds and border punch did this job and you can see it opens and closed too here.

Can I survive a week without any vintage? No. I can't.

So when AC blog had this " your favorite book" challenge I was thinking about " To kill a mockinbird" I loved so much when I was a young girl and these was perfect for this vintage card using 2 textured AC papers- white and brown embossed. So this card is pure vintage and I even used some vintage metal part I got as a RAK, together with my new J.

My 4 pages in SMR 1/24 issue

My 4 los were published in new Scrapbooking news and review January issue-

all of them on the Shabby chick section.I am sorry that I can't link it here as this web magazine is a paid one- but if you have a subscription- you can see my work here together with hundreds of great pages, cards and altered items too.

All these lo-s were out of the blog and will be back in a month.

Like father- like son

I did this lo for Ella's publushing sketch week 2 contest and it fitted perfectly the DH and DS photos from this long South America trip they did together .

I decided to do it after the Cat Stevens (before he became this other name I don't remember ) song " FATHER AND SON " was on the radio and the words were so exectly right for my second " world traveller" son- "you are young, that's your fault.. find a girl..." etc

So he is 25 and that's his fault- going around the globe for last 4 years after his army service, living most of the year abroad, working there.. We want him home- but I think only THE girl can do it.. We can't..

So my dear Amir- this one is for you!!Love you deeply- even if you are in Colombia or Peru or wherever you are now- can't understand it from your Fcebook notes... Our only connection for every 2 weeks.

I really need to add the lirics- a bit of it for you to understand my feelings:

(FATHER)

IT'S NOT TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE

JUST RELAX, TAKE IT EASY

YOU'RE STILL YOUNG, THAT'S YOUR FAULT

THERE IS SO MUCH YOU HAVE TO KNOW

FIND A GIRL, SETTLE DOWN

IF YOU WANT YOU CAN MARRY

LOOK AT ME, I AM OLD , BUT I AM HAPPY

And as for supply list here:

PP, felt, letters and transparency- Prima,Dew drops- Robin nest I got as Rak,

Chipboard button- Love Elsy old one, the crown bard- Creative imagination- Rak, Tim Holtz acrylic , men die cut from Prima packaging and a lot of mist.

Even the matting was the " misting mask" I used here and then decided to add it on the lo.Also the canvas brackets are the Rak I got from Ann's creative nook blog.

And also the AAM current challenge was to do a lo about me with my favorite song inspiration- I decided that this one is correct for this challenge- as I feel this song is so right for what I think...

My snow men

This lo was the January word inspiration challenge winner on Happy scraps challenge- thanks!!
THIS LO WAS PUBLISHED IN SCRAPBOOKING . COM, MAGAZINE
We don't have any real winter here in Israel- and I love snoflakes: the shapes, the colors, everything. So my only chance to scpar them is to do my DH and DS ski vacation.
This one es in Argentina 2 years ago.
As my title was too long I used this " v" shape to insert the extra word.
I also doodled around the snowflakes on the blue paper and then reposisioned the flakes a bit so we can see kind of " hallo" around.
And as always this one is great for some winter challenges we have this week on the web:
Supply list for Craftastic- light blue, 2 photos, covered chipboards, 2+ brads, ppaper back, white pen and ink- 6 and not only 3 items
Fussy and fancy- WINTER
Scrap and stamp- old papers ( the company is not even existing now), old brads and old Bg ribbon(3 years old)

Spring is here card

This card was made for my Kaboodle doodles DT color job: pink, green, jellow and burgondy.

So no vintage and no lo-s- these colors can be a spring card only (or not, but I am not a friend of yellow)

So the base was some simple cardstock (I don't have anything better in this color... ), then I added some Prima canvas, and ATD textured cardstock in 2 colors,punched the pink one with Ek border punch, added some ribbon and painted this grungeboard butterfly with lots of mists and stickles. The final touch were some crystals and Prima flowers

Spring for Scrap- stamp and doodle
Layers for Spoon full of sugar
Dimension for Totally gorjuss
Punch for Creative card crew
Spring colors for Charisma
