I am late! I am late! I am late!....

 

Because of my personal life, I am late in my blog for a few thing... as usual! :)

Oh, well...

At " I Love Scrapbooking"

we have a new challenge  which is to make an advent calendar

And I wanted just a simple, no fuss CALENDAR,

so this is what happened :)

My daughter Victoria was helping me all the way, telling me what and where to glue, and which image to stamp.

We just took a simple white blank page 12x12, stamped all X-mas stamps we could dig out from the shelves.

Then we added smaller square of Kraft paper, on top of it a page from Prima which with the help of a ruler we separated into different days, added all the embellishments and numbers.

Victoria likes it very much and wants to hang it in her room :)

Also, On the book project we all ready started the 6th step

 

This time it has to be a "secret" inside the picture, mine is inside the shell:

Mermaid opens the shell and on the inside she finds a shy sea horse.

As always, I am looking forward to see YOUR fab creations!

Thank you for stopping by.

Troubled skies

This is a second week at Craft a Scene monthly challenge, and I did two different train scenes, now it is the time for the second train.

I am a train fan from the childhood time, and my son Alexey is a big fan of trains too.

We even had taken train rides from Portland to Santa-Barbara x 2!

And we wish we could do more! :)

There is something so captivating about those steel machines!

And on this one I was a lot more happier with the effect of the lightning.

And on this one, it happened that while I was working on a train card, I looked out of the window, and it was just like that :)

Looked  so nostalgic to me, this is how I saw the sky long time ago, in a different land, in a different time....

 

So, come and join us at Craft a Scene for some stormy sky creations

you have 'till the end of the month

Almost Twins

Same image (Sweet Pea Anna Marine's Vampire)

Colored differently-different attitude :)

My husband prefers the first version, I do 2nd, which one appeals more to YOU?
Firs one colored with Copic Markers and distress ink pads for background.
Second one is colored with distress markers and dry chalk for background.

And with that I am leaving you for the remaining of the week, we are going to see some SHARKS!
In  aquarium of course!

P.S. I think that girl looks like Evgenia from Scrap Therapy  :)

CELESTIAL WOLF

Sold

CELESTIAL WOLF

He walks the way of the stars and haloed Moon,
And stalks the forested places between frozen hill and plain ~

He understands the soulful song of the Wind,
And I long to save the Wilderness in his name ~ Skye Ryan-Evans

 

A very simple card, but I do like it

text inside the card reads:

"Overcome the notion

that you have to be regular.

It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary."

 

here I have used stap of the wolf-which I have found on ebay, banch stamp by Stampscapes, bats-from different sets of stamps.

Moon is made by masking.

Colored by distress ink pads (Ranger)

A touch of Glossy Accents and Smooch on the eyes.

White gel pen

antique gold glitter

Thanks for looking!

 

 

Aurora Borealis

Aurora borealis is something that is on my bucket list, I dream I would have a chance to see it at least once.
I feel that is the most magical thing that happens on planet earth-well, besides life itself.  :)
Here is my little attempt to create such magical occurrence.
I am quite proud how my stars turned out this time-you wouldn't believe how many pictures I have ruined to get here! :))
Oh well... practice makes perfect-right?
To make this card I used glossy cardstock (Ranger)
Stampscapes stamps, white gel pen, plain black and green cardstock.
If you want to learn how to do this check out video by Kevin here
Thanks for stopping by.
 

Wedding Cake-Exploding Box

Recently I saw a fantastic exploding box made by KuzjaLuda, and my sister soon getting married, her wedding would be in California, so I deceided that instead of a gift, which would be hard to carry with us, we will present her with some money, and then the idea came to me to present it in a way that would be memorable and special. Together with the window card I think it looks pretty decent, don't you?

To make this I used:
Prima Papers, Prima resin birds and corner
Lots of pearls and Prima mini roses

 

November Theme - Troubled Skies

At Craft a Scene blog our theme for the month of November is "Troubled Skies". We want to see all kinds of finished creations with a focus on the kind of dark and wintry sky you would normally see in November. For some of us this is even the start of snow season.
And this was mine interpretation, I think this could be a good masculine card

Different Dreams

Dreams... they happen to be different for the people of different age, sex and race, this is my interpretation -

I know what the girl is dreaming about-the glamorous grandma, I wonder what does the grandpa thinking about ;)

Most of you all ready have cold weather and even snow, so here is some sunshine just for you and your soul-enjoy!
 

Holiday magic

SOLD!

Another winter magic card I have made.

Here I have tried to do a scene from my childhood.

Oh, the snow we had! :)

I have lost the count of stamps I have used here, it was truly a labor of love, but I LOVE THE RESULT!

Thanks for stopping by!

Скрап-Инфо совместный проект, пятый этап!

Всем здравствуйте!

Сегодня у нас начинается уже пятый этап! Быстро время летит!!! Еще один, и будем собирать наши книжки!
Книжки у всех получаются просто прелесть, и с одной стороны хочется увидеть уже их в сборе все, а с другой стороны, жаль будет расставаться с такой теплой компанией. Когда еще можно будет порисовать в таком хорошем обществе.

Итак, задание этого этапа - сценка. Большая часть из вас рисует сценки, но мы запланировали это задание сразу, и решили его не менять. Те из вас кто в любом случае раскрашивает сценки, тот просто получит удовольствие от процесса, а кто нет, тому придется потрудиться, но я надеюсь, все-равно вы получите удовольствие от рисования.
Итак, на вашем рисунке должны взаимодействовать два и более объектов. Это могут быть живые существа или предметы, или растения, или всё вместе.

Моя картинка.

 

Что б сделать эту картинку я использовала 5 рарных тампов:

Русалочка-КК

Волны, пальмы, дельфин и птицы-разные штампы разных компаний

Расскрашивала волны и небо я Дистресс подушечками, русалочку Копиками

затем волны я покрыла кое-где глиттером и глосси

Дельфина я тоже покрыла глосси для обьема.

Вот и все..
