My Heart Belongs to You - Scrappy Hands layers challenge

Is it Sunday again? The first full week of January went too fast for me. I tried new yoga place, took girls to have their eyes checked, went to the College planning session at the high school (what?? college??) and spent some time checking the new CHA releases. I had fun making my wish list, hope to get one or two new releases to play .

Meanwhile I pulled out some very very old papers from Cloud 9 and made a layout with Eli's pictures from last February. I used lots and lots of layers since I made it for Scrappy Hands layers challenge.

Supplies: patterned paper (Cloud 9), enamel hearts (Teresa Collins), Miss Kate Cuttables cut file, vinyl, Silhouette Cameo

The title is a cut file from Miss Kate Cuttables and I cut i in vinyl - so much easier than the paper.

I cut out few hearts from the patterned paper and added them with foam tape and also sprinkled few enamel heart shapes.

Love notes from my son

Hello Sunday!
Today the Scrappy Hands Design team shares another take on the "Squares" challenge. Last week I made a New Year card and today I am sharing a layout. I don't remember when last time I made a layout without any pictures but I really wanted to save these sweet love motes from Eli and decided that they deserve a separate layout.

I used few patterned papers from Teresa Collins "Save the date" collection and added miscellaneous scraps from my stash.

The last note has my name on the back so instead of gluing it down I used photo corners.
The title and the black hearts are cut from vinyl with Silhouette Cameo.

Check the great projects that other DT members shared right here.

The first Monday of 2015 is right around the corner. Hope it is going to be a great one.

Scrap It Girl January Challenge - Snowflakes

Hello my dear blog readers! We made it to 2015!

While I am still working on my 2015 goals and resolutions that I plan to share later, I am happy to share my first layout of 2015 made for the Scrap It Girl January challenge.

The challenge is "snowflakes" and since we are having a snowless winter here in NJ (not complaining) I went back to the last year that had plenty of snow.

I made a simple collage in Picasa and printed it on my home printer. I used some old Bo Bunny papers, rubons (didn't use these in ages) and stickers.

I printed the journaling and added a frame cut out of Jenni Bowlin journaling card.

More rubons, stickers, and Martha Stewart vellum sticker.

Stop by the Scrap It Girl blog to see more snowflake inspiration and share your take with us.

P.S. Did you blog about your 2015 goals? Were you inspired by anyone's else goals? Please share! I need more inspiration!

Love My Tapes - a layout and a card

Before 2014 comes to an end I want to share my last two DT projects for Love My Tapes.

I made a sparkly layout with handcut washi tape hearts that I stitched to the page.

I used the new "Studio Gold" collection by Teresa Collins. So pretty! More details on Love My Tapes blog right here.

Supplies: patterned paper, chipbaord, letter stickers (Teresa Collins). washi tape (Love My Tapes)

I used Love My Tapes lace tape (and bunch of paper scraps) to make this monochromatic card.

Find more details and a little tutorial right here.

Happy 2015!

In just 4 more days we are going to welcome 2015. It it hard to believe, I feel only yesterday we were all talking about the 2K bug... And here it is - 2015!  Ready or not, it is knocking on ours doors, so we might just welcome it.

I am welcoming the new year with sparkly card. The design was inspired by the Scrappy Hands "Squares" challenge. I used beautiful papers by Teresa Collins from her Studio Gold collection.
I cut 4 polka dot squares and added the numbers that I cut from gold vinyl using Silhouette Cameo.

Supplies: patterned paper (Teresa Collins), vinyl (Oracal), Silhouette Cameo

The word happy is also cut from vinyl. Who needs to buy stickers when you can make anything you want with Silhouette?

I love how it turned out and hope my 2015 as bright and happy as this card.

I am wishing you a happy and peaceful 2015! May it be filled with joy, creativity and lasting memories.

Keep calm and light on

Two days before Hanukkah!! I should check the calendar more often. Feel totally not ready.

Except maybe in the decorations department. I try to make a Hanukkah decor project every year.Some of my favorites are this shadowbox and this star mini-album.

This year I made another shadowbox. I was inspired by the Scrappy Hands challenge 28 - Light

I used white 8x8 shadow box frame that I filled with small wood dreidels. I used blue glitter vinyl to cut the words and Crafting Jewish Style Hanukkah paper for the background.

Check the Scrappy Hands blog to see all other beautiful projects, and share your take on the challenge with us.

Happy Hanukkah to all who will light the first candle on Tuesday night,

Scrappy Hands challenge 27 - Birthday

Today Scrappy Hands blog is celebrating 1 year anniversary with a birthday challenge.

I made a sweet card for a wonderful little girl named Noa.

All shapes are cut with Silhouette Cameo. 

I cut two big hearts, one from patterned paper and one from vellum and stitched them together adding sequins between the layers.

The sentiment, the name and the number are cut from glitter vinyl.

Check the blog for more birthday inspiration from the DT members and share your take on our birthday challenge for a chance to win a gift certificate to Kesem Shimushi store.

Scrappy Hands Challenge 26

It looks like I am on the shadow box roll! I made this cutie for the last Scrappy Hands challenge. The theme is "textures" and I used glitter paper, vinyl, sequins and pompoms.

I cut out this little guy from vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo. The snowflakes are cut from glitter vinyl and look so pretty. 

  

I planned to use small glitter balls inside the shadowbox but they turned out too big. I found a bag of snowflake sequins and small pompoms in my "winter" drawer and dumped them inside. 

I think it turned out super cute. Check what other DT members did here and share your take. 

Here is a card I did for the previous Scrappy Hands challenge and didn't share yet. The theme was fall colors. I used Love My Tapes lace tape and bunch of lovely paper scraps.

I have two shadow boxes left. What should I make??

My Favorite Things Friday - Favorite Fall project

It is Friday, and today I am joining the Design Team at Scrap It Girl in sharing one favorite things that shares favorite Fall projects.

I picked this layout that I did way back in 2012. Eli is just one year old in this picture. Total cuteness!

More details about the layout in my original post.

Go and check what other DT members are sharing! You will be inspired!

And here is something else - my last project that I completed yesterday! It is a memory box for Lila. My thought was that she will keep her ticket stubs inside but she told me that it will be more appropriate for pictures of people in her life. Either way I hope she likes it and will use it.
