Happy fall card- so what if it's just Spring around?

 Spring is all around, but some magazines ask for Fall cards. So I made one and I LOVE IT! It's clean and simple and not so clean and simple after all.
I used 100 Proof Press Old Apple Tree stamp heat embossed and then added some brads to  pretend those are my apples. Then I made another layer of stamped flowers on the bottom with 100 Proof Press Spring Bouquet (in black no one knows if those are spring flowers or some fall ones). Then I added this heat embossed Tando house and fences , a frame and a piece of washi tape.

I enter this to Kraft challenge for A little bit CRAFTY

My Dad, His Music, Our Legacy lo

This week we are going to show you our use of journaling plates on Tando Creative blog and this is my project for this week.
This lo was made in Memory of my beloved father, who passed away last December. He was a well known Israeli composer  and this photo is so much him that I had to make a page about his music and our legacy he left us as a family.

I used Echo Park and Lily Bee papers, Tando creative chipboards,AC letters and some Tando ones, covered with embossing powder and Ebony Creative Inspirations Paint. I also used a lot of washi tape and TH tape pieces to put all papers and a photo together and to connect then on this lo.

And as for journaling spots: you can just use some letter stickers  for names, dates  etc. Also you can do much better and to write some real thoughts over this chipboard piece.

August release recap with Inspired by Stamping

OK, I am totally sure that my August release IBS stamps are lost, but this is not a reason for not showing you my very new layout made with most gorgeous IBS Elegant Flowers (just back in stock in the shop) and to make some tribute to all those fabulous stamp set I did get during my DT term (much more to come if our post service will work properly).
So this page was made with Lily Bee Designs papers , Elegant flowers stamps and this time I stamped with Faber Castell's Big Brushes and I LOVE!! them. Permanent, vibrant, easy to stamp and as I just have about 5-6 of them I am sure those will be my next shopping addiction.

Another addiction shown on this page are those washi tapes I used  over my page.
Some  (A LOT) of Handmade Halo new products were used here too and I changed the lace color with the very same Big Brush and made a border with it too.

I also used the sketch  from Sketch n' Scrap  and will enter it to this challenge.
Hope you like this page and those gorgeous IBS stamps, but the new one, released in August, are even more gorgeous. Just jump to IBS shop and buy some.
And as those Roses stamps were on my desk, I made a card, using Jillibean Soup products and just the same stamps and Big brushes, this time over kraft cardstock.

Other girls have some great projects to show you too. Visit their blogs and enjoy!

Mr. and Mrs titles are not just for new weds

This page was published in SNR  July 2012 issue
For this vacation page I decided to use this Mr. and Mrs. A2Z Scraplets title for a non wedding lo. I just made it about us: 29 years together as Mr. and Mrs. and still together in love  and fun.
I also used Handmade Halo resin flowers as my embellishments, The Rubber Cafe flourish stamp- once black inked and heat embossed with black Wow Embossing powders embossing  and then a few times just a watermark inked with Clear embossing ink.
All chipboard sets were heat embossed with the same embossing black powder from Wow.
All paper products are Lily Bee.

Welcome to your Food Boat 7/24

Yes, cruise can be a clear anti- diet thing. You just eat as much as you can and even more. So this vacation page is about a cruise, but mostly about me became fatter.

So I made it with Lily Bee products and sketch, and some Tando chipboards. I even made an origami boat and it's not a Love Boat, it's a Food boat for sure.I also added 2 resin birdies from Handmade Halo shop on the left top corner and a crown glass pebble from Handmade Halo over the compass on the lower right corner as we were treated as Royalties  on the cruise.

Also we had a great time there.

Forever Young

My dear parents were married about 57 years and were madly in love for all those years together. Last  December my Dad passed away. He was 82 years old and a very well known Israeli composer. So this page' made with Lily Bee products in his memory and in memory of this huge love. Music paper was just perfect, the piano pair - even better.

I used this new April A2Z Scraplets release for my title, some Prima flowers and pearls and some heart buttons too.This page is a prove that you don't need to scrap just in vintage colors for older people, if in their souls they are Forever Young.

Awesome baby

This page wa published in SNR July 2012 issue
The summer is not around yet, but the last summer photos are still in my box and this is my DGS Omer first watermelon photo. He just loved it a lot and I love this photo even more.

So Lily Bee April sketch was used here, with LB products and some BG labels and a lot of watermelon buttons (the black one were just perfect for the seeds). The A2Z Scraplets title was made in those same colors with some black mini buttons over it. I added some flower stamping- stamps from The Rubber Cafe, white Colorbox ink and White  heat embossing with Wow  White Embossing powder.

The basic glitter cardstock is AC, then I added some trims and I just love my grandson  so much- on this page and much more in the real life.

Our Adventure

This page will be published in Scrapbooking.com June 2012 issue
Last October we had this terrific Greece cruise and I never scrapped a single photo of this trip. So it's time now for the first one.

I used Lily Bee products and March sketch, A2Z part of the chipboard title, The Rubber Cafe stamps (Vintage Treasures clock, camera  and script, Column stamps), a lot of Elle's Studio tags- with added stamping, EC epoxies and stamped and cut images and one single EK border punch.

 

This is as close to clean and simple as I can scrap.
And this was made for some web challenges:

Catched in Barcelona

 This page was published in SNR April/May 2012 issue
New Lily Bee page with A2Z Scraplets most gorgeous tile chipboard and our photo  in Park Gaudy in Barcelona a year and something ago. I think the paper colors fit this photo perfectly. I also decided  just to ink the bare chips a bit, not to cover them. The birds are stamped and hand cut from the circle full stamp, but this was the only stamped board I found so far in the right size (all others were too  big or too small)

I entered this to Punky Sprouts color challenge

Family

This page will be published in Scrapbooking. com  November 2012 issue

My new Family page made  for A2Z Scraplets January release and using those fantastic WOW Embossing Powders on those  chipboards. I used one big photo for this frame and just trimmed pieces of it  to fit a frame. It was the very last photo of our whole family together (me too), as after this one I only took some part of the family ones, and this was my dear Dad last photo with all of us together. He passed away a month ago and this page was made in his memory as a glue connecting us all together. So I made this hand write journaling on the top about it.

The frame was inked with Teal SU ink, covered with Clear Embossing Watermark and then heat embossed with WOW Clear Glossy  Ultra High  embossing powder. Then I randomly added some Metallic Gold  Rich  Ultra High  embossing powder over the frame. The same Metallic Gold Rich Ultra High powder was added over the AC  inked chipboard letters for a title.

The whole page is about love: love to my family, to my dear Dad and  scrapping. And it's the best one I can make for Valentine day, as we don't celebrate this day in Israel, but our Family day is in February.

Other products used are Lily Bee Designs papers and stickers, Martha Stewart  border punch, another A2Z chipboard corner, Eyelet outlet clock brad, some Tim Holtz metals  and Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Round 25 tool and bubble cap.

I enter this page to Punky Sprouts color challenge

I scrapped again after 2-3 weeks of cards etc

 This page was published in SNR Fevruary 2012 issue
Sometimes you just need a push to scrap. For about 2-3  weeks and one week vacation on cruise, I finally did a lo and thanks to Lili Bee fantastic sketch I feel that I am back with scrapping..

So here is LB sketch and here is my take of it. I don't scrap  multiphotos a lot, but those photos of my daughters 3 years ago S. America trip were just perfect.

I used LB products- mixed and match style, papers, stickers and alphas. made 4 Epiphany craftsd handmade buttons with the Button Studio 20 tool and added a cluster of Elle's studio journaling spots.

 The fabric alphas are from Prima and they don't stick.. So I just used this vlear office tape to stick them and to save some time. Looks different and even unique. Then I added a  tiny border with Elle's back of tag package- don't they look so cute, those smallest possible tags ever? The pop of red was because of my DD  red sweatchirt.An the circles? Partly 2-3 round punches and my old and never forgotten Colluzle.

2 of you and 2 of me lo

Hi everyone, Irit is here and I want to show you how we can use a lot!! of Cheery Lynn Designs dies and still have a huge " white space" on your page
So this page made with my twins lovely 4 years old photo (again, you know) was scrapped with not less than 5 dies and only a half of my basic cardstock is full. And it's because I used my border dies mostly, also not only. Again , I could add some fluorishes and flowers and butterflies- but I decided to stop and to make the photo and everything around more visible this time
So here is a long list of dies used on this lo
Border Carnivale
Victorian Picket Fence
Dotties Ric-Rak
Scalloped Diamonds Border
Pennant die
Index card
So see you next week with a bunch of some new projects and in the meantime you are invited to CLD
shop to grab a couple of border dies, or more
