More summer projects

Few more crafty projects from this summer. 
I made this layout for Crafting Jewish Style blog back in May. The Design Team used Anam Stubbington's sketch
I picked 2 pictures from Shavuot celebration in our moshav. (I am the one with the headband, holding little Lila.) All papers are from Crafting Jewish Style Hanukkah collection. Once again, I used my trusty heart squeeze punch to make the scallop border. The flowers are made with Lifestyle Crafts die. The pictures were taken during the tractor ride so I had to add the tractor. I googled for tractor coloring page, printed it and used it as a template to cut my tractor pieces.

Supplies: patterned paper and sticker (Crafting Jewish Style), die and die-cut machine (Lifestyle Crafts), flower cabochons (Recollection), border punch (Fiskars), squeeze punch (Fiskars), hebrew letter stickers, brads

The next card I made for Bar Mitzvah of one of Lila's classmates. I used the papers from the same Hanukkah collection but just stayed with the blues to give it a masculine look.
Supplies: patterned paper (Crafiting Jewish Style), cardstock (American Crafts), twine (We R Memory Keepers), circle punch (EL Success), corner punch (Fiskars), ink

The last project is another Bar Mitzvah card with altered printers trey. I always wanted to make one of this. I bought wooden numbers at Michaels (13 is the Bar Mitzvah age) and colored them with black acrylic paint. When they were dry I sanded them and covered with glimmer mist. I did the same with the chipboard letters. The big Star of David is printed on a vellum.The small square with the Star of David and Hebrew words was part of the invitation. 



I am still not sure if it was a good idea. I don't know about the boy but I hope his mom liked it.

I have more projects to share but we will leave them for another time. I went through hundreds of posts in my google reader, trying to decide what subscriptions to keep and what I will have to let go. I need to limit myself to some manageable amount. I think I am almost there.  So, I am wondering, how many blogs are in your google reader?

  2. Love these projects! If Seth is anything like my DS, he would have been thrilled with that altered printer's tray (even if he didn't say so!).
