Bible Verse Card

We had cold, but sunny weather this week and all my thoughts are about upcoming spring. What flowers to plant, shrubs to trim etc. Most of my projects this week show where my thoughts are as they all have flowers on them.

I made this pretty card "just because",  I'll end up giving it to a friend, but for now I love looking at it, this verse is such an inspiration to me. 

Blue flowers are handmade

Male Birthday card

Me and my husband were invited to friends birthday and 15 minutes before we left house I realized I don't have a male card to put the gift in. 

It literally took me 5 minutes to make this card. It made out of shimmer cardstock which adds some festivity to the card. 

Polymer Clay Ornaments

I wanted to show you two more polymer clay ornaments I made this year.

First one is for my niece Sophia who LOVES cooking. Look at those yummy chocolate chips cookies.

 And next one is for my nephew who loves his swimming classes.

Plain Gift Bag to Christmas Bag

Each year I pospone my gift wrapping later and later. This year I ended up wrapping my gifts on Christmas Eve, and no surprise that I didn't have the right size bags for some of my gifts. I had this plane non-christmasy looking bag that I needed to make a liitle bit more festive.

 After

 

It took me 5 minutes and minimum materials to make my bag more wintery looking. I want to enter this card in challenge from Anna' Scrap Challange Blog Gift Wrapping

Pink Birthday Card

I have a HUGE collection of dies, but my most used one is Flourishes from Cheery Lynn. It is so versatile and adds beautiful touch to any projects. 

The Birthday card I made today is using that die and I LOVE how it looks. Cheery Leen Design Blog has new Challenge this week - Anything Goes and here is the card I made.

  

Christmas Card

I can't believe Christmas is only a week away. I still need to do last minute shopping, but mostly I am ready. I made another quick Christmas card using very pretty frame die from Sizzix.

 

CAS Snowflake

It is the middle of the December and I we were lucky to see snow already. It lasted only half of the day, but brought a lot of joy to children and adults. Blog Kafe Scrapo Mama has new challange to make skrapwork using SNOWFLAKE

Great challange for this time of the year!!! Ans here is my CAS card.

Hawaiian Sand Ornament

Every year I am trying to add meaningful ornaments to my collection. Ornaments that will tell what I liked, or did past 12 month. 2014 was pretty eventful, but not everything I want to remember in the future :) I do want to have some memories of our trip to Hawaii, so I made and bought some ornaments that will remind me of it.

I'll show you the ornament that I made. I used sand that I brought from the beach we lay on and put it in the clear glass ball, added some handmade "tropical" flowers and a year. It only took me few years to make it, but will be cherished for years :)

Any Ocation Card

I've had this beautiful punch from Martha Stewart for almost two years and never had a chance to use it (not for the lack of ideas)

Recently I came across beautiful card by Ilona and finally gave my punch a try. Here is my inspiration

And my card

Christmas tree ornaments 2014

 Thanksgiving is only a week away and the day after Thanksgiving, when the rest of the country goes shopping, I am planning to put up my Christmas tree. I love Christmas!!! And putting up tree as early as possible prolong this favorite season of mine.
Blog Tempo Liberto has "decorating interior"challenge" and what is better decorating than putting up a Christmas tree and tree needs to be decorated wit ornaments.

In resent years I love having tree ornaments with meaning. I buy and make ornaments that tell a story about how our year went. I have yet to make ornament about our Hawaiian vacation, but for now I made few ornament for my friends and family.

My sister bought her children kitten for Christmas present. They named him Tiger and I quickly made them an ornament.

Kids (boy and girl) fought over kitten and my sister purchased them another kitten (black), so I HAD to make another ornament. This is my second creation. Cats I made do not look like kittens, but rather like old fat cats, but it will have to do (I am not an artist)

 And one more ornament for my cousin who had a baby girl earlier this year.

I am planning to make few more ornaments for friends and family and one for myself. What about you? Do you have any special Christmas tree ornaments?

Birthday card

I made another unisex Birthday card to add to my stash. This card was easy and fun to make. I used my favorite products: frame, favorite flourish die and handmade flowers.

 

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

 Look on the back.
