Scraplifting.

I LOVE Pinterest. Every free minute at work I spend on this site looking for recipes, décor and of course scrapbooking. There are so many beautiful creations that inspire me, but some of them I want to repeat without changing much (if anything). Today's card was created by copying following creation made by Hania.

 I happen to have the same dies she used in the card and since I use those dies so little I was happy to find ideas for their use. Here is the card I made. I used bright colors and it looks completely different

Бумажные цветы

В блоге СкрапМама замечательное задание которое я не смогла пройти. В этот раз задание связано с бумажными цветами. Я очень люблю самодельные цветы и решила поучаствовать. Открытка сложилась быстро и легко.



CAS for BOY

В блоге My-Scrap.ru интересное задание. Нужно сделать открытку для мальчика или девочки в стиле Clean and Simple.

 

Этот стиль мне очень нравится, но со стороны. Самой же не получается в нём творить. Ну вот ещё раз попробовала и вот что получилось

 

 

Mother's Day Card for Adoptive Mother

Неделю назад моя подруга усыновила с Украины мальчика 9 лет. Я впервые её увижу в воскресение и так совпало что в воскресение наша страна празднует День Матери. У них до этого мальчика детей не было, так что это будет первый год когда она будет праздновать этот праздник. По этому поводу я сделала для неё открыточку.

Надпись на русском звучит примерно так... "Усыновление - это когда ребёнок вырос у мамы в сердце а не в её животике"

 

Mother's Day Card

I follow this wonderful blog that I would love to share with you Dorota_mk. I am in love with EVERY single card she makes. I love her style. I chose following card as an inspiration to make a card for upcoming Mother's Day.

I used vintage colors in my card

Small Planters

Spring is here!!! Well, at least on the calendar. Turning the page on the calendar unfortunately didn't improve our weather, but it made me want to get ready for spring. I got some of the seeds and bulbs out and will be jump-starting some of the plants indoors. And for that I will need some small planters (a lot of them). To save money I decided to re-use anything that can hold soil and in search for such container I came up with an idea that I want to share.

So, today I'll show you how to make this...

 

Out of this...

 



 

In my humble opinion cans make perfect container for starter plants. They are sturdy, not too big and what is more important, they are FREE.

Let's begin...

You will need containers, glue (glue gun or double sided glue strips), scrapbook paper and very little time.

Empty (eat what is inside) and wash your containers.

 

 



On the bottom punch few halls. This can be done with small nail and hammer.

 

 

I planted my plants next. This step can be done later, but I didn't want my containers to get dirty. I planted onion bulbs in these and you can fit up to 8 bulbs in such a small container. Let it sit for a short period of time so water drains from container if you watered your soil. Now we can decorate our containers. Decorating is optional and if I took these containers straight outside I wouldn't bother, but since they'll be spending few weeks on my windowsill I wanted them to look pretty.

 

 Cut  piece of paper big enough to wrap around can and put strip of double sided glue.

Wrap paper around can and the glue

My onions week later

 And two weeks later

Handmade Polymer Cay Ornaments

This year I got to play with polymer clay more. I don't know what to make out of polymer clay that could be useful. There are many examples of beautiful breathtaking jewelry made out of polymer, but I am not fooling myself, there is no way I could create something wearable, but I did create something to dress my Christmas tree with.

We bought a house this year with real fireplace, so this ornament is perfect. Stockings are personalized. One for me and one for husband.

Vintage birthday card

Открыточка делалась на день рождения. Попытка была сделать открытку в винтажном стиле. Бумага в приглашенных тонах, немного потертости и порваные края. Единственное что режет глаз это слишком светлая рамочка, которая кстати покрашена crackle краской.
