Happy to be at home lo

This page was published in March 2011 issue of SNR magazine

 My new page done with Echo park paper and stickers and using a lot of Cheery Lynn Designs dies.

This time I decided to use some new and never used dies and  was so pleased with the results.

I used  Picket Fence border, Frills and Hearts border, Butterflies  bundles  die set,Flowers border and Daisy embossing plate.

My journaling is on a sticker strip on the left side and tells about 2 years out of home of my DD and how happy we are she is back.

Now just jump to CLD blog for the full post- see your there too! All dies are in the shop and ready to ship!!

Because- wedding lo

This page was published in Scrapbooking . com May 2010 issue
Very clean and simple wedding page  good for all red or Valentine challenges that are running now on the web.
 The rub on title says Because I never want to forget and for those who are not familiar with Jewish wedding ceremony- this one was not a very traditional one, as the bride doesn't sign a contract when it's a traditional ceremony. My DDIL wanted it to be this way, so she signed it before the wedding too..

I love spring time shadow box:Best Creations blog hop

Hello everyone and welcome to our Best Creations very first blog hop.

If you come from  Kim Holmes    blog- you are on the right path, and if not- just go back to Best Creations blog and  do it from the first blog on this hop.

This hop is all about Love and flowers, but I decided to do it about my love to flowers and not a traditional Valentine project.

This is a very frugal shadow box (with letters Party over the box to be altered), but as I am a flower girl , I did it with Best Creations Jubelly line and other glitter papers and 3 kinds of handmade flowers.

I also used my Cheery Lynn designs dies- lot's of them here as those dies were just right for this project

The yellow flower is  some tissue  paper "5 seconds to do flower"  and I promise to do some tutorial later .
The pink dotted flower - die cut, layered and twisted a bit and the big pink flower was  a strip die cut, folded and turned to a great home made embellishment.

Here are the steps for my Folded  flower and you can use your scissors too, also the die makes it more professional.
1. Cut a 1'' stripe from your favorite paper, die cut it with some border die (also you can do it with your border punch too- but it takes time, or even with some decorative scissors if you still keep them .. LOL)

2. Take the cut stripe and begin to fold  like an accordion fold- do it about 1/4 '' mostly- I know it's a bit hard with a cardstock, but then your flower will be stable more than with thin paper.

3. Punch 2 cardstock flowers and add some glue over the lower one, then glue the ends of your folded stripe as shown.

 Layer  the flower over the glued flower and add another cardstock   glued flower over the top of your folds.

 Now go to your stash and find some nice button, big crystal or small flower to use as your flower center. Enjoy it!

You actually don't need any wood shadow box for this project- every recycled box will be great with some holes on the top for the flower (wood stick) steams.

The small bird  house was a  clear wood and I just painted it  with an acrylic paint wash.

The only " real" not made by me flowers are those small Prima sunflowers and some plastic flower buttons.
And now just run to the next blog on our Hop- Sandy Ang blog

Mr.& Mrs. wedding page

One  of my new 2011 year resolutions was to scrap in simple style- not too much of everything on  one page, as much as I can.. Not so easy for a " busy" scrapper like me.

So this wedding page was done according to my resolutions and it is a pretty simple one.
 I used Scrap with V February sketch - but with my twists, and I think it's a very clean wedding page with minimum embellishments.
The focal point is this sephia photo, but  this Tando Creative chipboard huge gate (a gate to a new family life) is the second focal point here and I just added some twine to connect them both.

The paper are MME, Prima flowers, Recollections blings, MME  and AC letters and some border punching, The white gate was inked a bit  and I added a piece of Prima printed transparency on the corner to complete a scene on this page.
