Pattie's Creations Challenge #104 - Happy Birthday

This is my last card for Pattie's Creations DT.  Altogether I

have been with Pattie for about a year and a half and

had a lot of fun using her images. I wish all the rest of

the DT all the best and to continue with their lovely work.

Do take part in this challenge - just take note that you

should include any Digital or Stamped Image on your

creation! Stop on over to Pattie's ETSY Shop and have a look

at her many images. Don't forget to check out the Freebie First

Friday of the Month page. The Freebie will be available for

3 days, and then it will be removed from the site!

The challenge starts now and ends Thursday, November 27th 

at 1pm CST (Central Standard Time).

Now I am spending quite a lot of time getting to know about

Mixed Media - so watch this page!  I now have a 'craft room'

and the salon table is no longer overrun with all my crafting 

goods. I still have to find a solution for my 30x30 scrapbook

pages, but I know what to look for. I would like it on my

worktable, as what's better than having this paper at hand!

If it takes up too much room on my table, I have other ideas.

I have a round table behind me (next to a couch/bed), which

I use for my mixed media projects.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #102 - Autumn Colours In Your Image

Here is my card for the next challenge on Pattie's Creations.

I nearly missed this challenge as only in the evening of the day
I was going away for a few days, did I realise I hadn't made a
card!  My holiday was spent in Jerusalem, and my was it
crowded there, due to the Festival of Succot.  Luckily we had
great weather but did have to wear something called 'a jacket'
in the evening (first time in many months) due to it being chilly out
 - and we missed the rain in Tel Aviv!

Wedding Cards

Oh dear, I have been quiet here!  That doesn't mean I haven't been
making cards or doing a little scrapbooking. Following are a couple
of wedding cards I have made.  Now that I am into mixed media, I
have been looking at videos showing different techniques and I have
been following webisodes at Paperwishes. These webisodes are
just great and it is amazing what the two women who make these
videos come up with.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #100 - Vintage

Time for another Pattie's Creations Challenge - this time

the subject is 'Vintage".  I would have liked to put glitter,

gemstones etc. on the card, but these weren't on the

market in those days and the cards weren't too colourful.

Hila is 4

It's been a bit quiet here lately. I've been busy sorting out my

crafts room (second small bedroom), as I was working in the

salon and the dining table was always full of my crafting things,

and now I have a tablecloth on a nice tidy table but... it isn't

like working in the salon with the TV on - yes, I did get

distracted!  I put up some shelves in the bedroom and added

some lighting.  I am slowly sorting out things in the cupboard,

but I still need more space.  I am thinking of getting a fold-up

table, which would enable me to do some mixed media projects,

which I recently started doing and quite like.

Here is the card I made for my granddaughter's 4th birthday,

which is tomorrow.  Hopefully she will like it.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #98 - Altered or Recycled

The challenge this fortnight is "Altered or Recycled"

and as I had a few toilet paper rolls I decided to use

them.  I looked around the internet to get an idea of

what to do.  I finally decided to make pillow boxes

You can put sweets inside or a piece of jewelery or

anything small and give as a small gift.

Mixed Media 1

Here is my first try at mixed media - and I must admit I
rather liked doing it.  I googled 'mixed media' to learn
a little what it is about, and then I roughly followed a
film on You Tube, teaching the subject.  I then went to
a 3-hour class and made my 2nd mixed media picture,
this time on canvas.  I shall put that picture up soon.
This picture was made using 240 gm drawing paper.

I used lots of pieces of paper,  lace, molding paste,
stencils, paint, cut out heart and painted it and went
around the edge with a black marker, small pieces of
two materials and for the words I used Tattered Lace
Retro Alphabet  and Spellbinders Shapeabilities -
Floral Flourishes.

The lovely doll is a digi image I bought called Birgetti
from C.C. Designs. I used seed beads on the sunflower
and then covered the center with Glossy Accents. Also
used Dot Sparkler Stickers from Stampendous.


Any feedback welcome.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #96 - For The Birds! Image Must Have A Bird Or Birds In It.

Still crafting but busy with family birthdays lately. Have also

signed up for a mixed media class next week, which should be

fun.

Birthday Card For My 17 Year Old Grandson - Guess What He Is Keen On!

Haven't been here awhile, possibly because of the situation
here in Israel, but we have to carry on as normal as possible.
Here is a card for a grandson who is mad on Star Wars, and
collects Star Wars memorabilia. It is hard to make a card for
this age but I hope he will like what I have made.

If you haven't yet tried PhotoFunia, you should, it is fun to
use.  Just Google the word.

I have started doing some mixed media and when my first
attempt is ready, I shall add it here. There is a 3-hour course
being held, and I am seriously thinking of going - although I
think it is possible to learn everything through the internet,
which I mostly do.  But it would be nice to sit with others
doing the same as you. I'd better hurry up and book myself
a place.

Card For My 14 Year Old Granddaughter

This following card I made for my granddaughter, who loves

music and is learning to play the guitar and piano.  I used PS

this time and took the images from a CD.  Used Glossy Accents 

on the hearts.  I also made her a scrapbook page, which I will 

add here soon. 

Bought some molding paste yesterday and can't wait to play

with it!

A Guy Card

In a couple of days it will be bf's birthday and this is the

card I made for him.  With this card I've had a chance

to use some of the items which I received as part of

prizes from Core'dinations (just love their cardstock) 

and Scrapbook Adhesives (first time I have used their

products - and I like).  

I haven't been too active here lately, but that isn't because

I haven't been making cards.  Soon I shall add another

guy card.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #92 - No, No. No Cards - Anything BUT A Card

Here is my "Anything But A Card" - I made a small gift

embellishing it. Pity the photo doesn't show up the

Glossy Accents on the butterfly.

Another General Card

This Friday I shall have another DT project ready

for the Challenge at Pattie's Creations - so do visit

again soon.  I have ordered, on Ebay, a die of a

bride and groom, so I look forward to receiving that.

I shall use it for wedding cards, which I enjoy making.

Here is my second card today.

A General Card

It's been a little quiet on my blog lately, but I have 

now made some new cards.  I've been very lucky 

as by making comments on other blogs I have won 

prizes and yesterday I received two parcels -

one from Xyron and one from Scrapbook Adhesives

 - I received lots of lovely goodies.

Time For Another Card!

The other day I bought a cricut Cuttlebug die called

Flower Vine and of course had to try it out.  It fits the

whole of the front of the size of cards I use, but it can

be cut up too.  I was going to make it into a birthday

card, but bf said it was more like a wedding card. I

shall use it for both. It cut and embossed without

any trouble, but I did pull it through the Cuttlebug a

few times, just to make sure.  I haven't tried it out

on thicker paper yet, just regular printing paper. I

think this die will be great for decoupage too. 

Stenciling is also another possibility.

 

Won another prize, this time from Xyron - should arrive

within 3 weeks.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #90 - Easter

My prize from Core'dinations has arrived and I received a

lovely surprise at all the goodies I received.  I now have enough

cards, envelopes, tags and cardstock for a long time to come!  It

certainly is worthwhile taking part in Core'dinations challenges.

I have added a link to Free Digital Minikit.com on my

sidebar - a new free scrapbooking kit is given

every week, and you can use them commercially if

you link back to them.

Time at Pattie's Creations for Challenge #90 - Easter.

More Guy Cards

I've been a bit quiet here because I have been busy.

I had to prepare for a bazaar and then bf had a visit

from his daughter and we traveled to Jerusalem for

a few days. We stayed at a lovely boutique hotel

called Mount Zion, which has beautiful views

over the Old City.   

Hooray, I won first prize on Sami Stamps Challenges

with the 'green' challenge, so now I can have some

fun choosing some digital images.  I really love her

style of drawing.

Do visit Pattie's Creations Challenge (I am on one

of her DT's) - the latest challenge is "Fancy Folds'

and the DT have done some lovely cards for this

challenge.

Following are some of the guy cards I have made

recently.  I am not writing any details on them of

materials used, but if anyone has a question, I shall

be only too happy to answer them. The last two

images are from CD's I have. The sailing boat I

have is on a decoupage sheet, but I don't have

the name of the artist. (Now I note all the artists).

Sami Stamps Challenge #011

I haven't entered any challenges lately as I've been

busy getting ready for a Crafts Fair, but there are

only so many cards that I need.

Sami Stamps has a challenge until 31/3 - the theme is

Use Some Green, and her DT have made some lovely

cards. 

Here is my card for this challenge.  I just love Sami's

drawing style.

A Quick And Easy Birthday Card

This card couldn't be any easier or quicker to make - I can take 

a LOT of time getting a card made.  Do take a look at the blog of

Catherine Pooler - you will certainly get inspiration from there.

Now I am looking at my card, I see that I could have embossed

one of the pieces - that would have been nice too.  This design

lets you use up pieces of paper you have left over - and like me,

I'm sure you all have lots of bits and pieces!
