Pridih jeseni - An autumn Breeze

Uf... ne morem verjeti... koliko časa je že minilo od moje zadnje objave. Ne, da bi želela blog zanemarjati, a je le bilo toliko enih obveznosti in dogajanja, da je dogajanje tukaj malo obstalo. Tokrat pa se po dolgem času oglašam z eno jesensko kreacijo, za katero je bil navdih tokratni izziv na blogu "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC156". Nastala pa je nova kolekcija uhančkov in voščilnice:

Uf... I can not believe that it has been such a long time since I last posted on my blog. It is not that I would like to neglect it, but there has been so many obligations, orders and other things in my life that this stood still. Today I am here to show you my last creation that was inspired by the latest "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC156". And here is my new collection of earings and a matching card:

Upam, da vam je kompletek všeč, lepo pa bo, po dolgem času, spet brati vaše komentarje. :) Uživajte v večeru in vikendu, ki je pred nami!

Hope you like it and it will be great reading your sweet comments again after such a long time. :) Enjoy the evening and the weekeend to come!

Sanje male miške - Dreams of a little mouse

Zadnje čase so moje objave res bolj kratke. Navadno izzive ujamem v zadnjem trenutku in tako je tudi tokrat. Tale voščilnica je nastala za Marinin izziv na Mavelu.com, katerega tema je "Začetek novega šolskega leta". Se še spominjate kako smo včasih radi delali aviončke in ladjice, ko nam je bilo dolgčas? ;) No ja... fantje so bili še posebej "pridni" in so včasih zanje uporabili kar papir iz svojih zvezkov. Nikoli mi sicer ni bilo jasno, kako so se potem naučili snov, ampak navadno so kar se. :) Dodala sem še papir s pisavo "Out of print" iz Marinine trgovinice, za piko na i pa sem iz skrčljive folije naredila gumbek, ki sem ga z decoupage lepilom oblekla v isto kolekcijo papirja. V notranjost sem dodala lep verz in zgornji rob naluknjala da izgleda, kot bi bil strgan iz beležnice.

Lately my post are a little bit shorter. I usually manage to catch the challenges only before they ran out and it was the same this time. This card was made for the challenge over at "Mavelu.com" for which the theme was "The beginning of a new school year". Remember how we were making little plains and boats from the paper, when we were bored during the classes. Boys were better at this and they sometimes even used the pages from their books and notepads. I added a text printed patterned paper "Out of print" from Marina's e-shop and I embellished the card with a small button which I made from Shrink Plastic and covered it with the paper from the same collection with decoupage glue. In the inside I added a beautiful sentiment and puched the edge so it looks like it was thorn out of a notebook.

Hvala, ker ste pokukali še malo k meni. Lep večer želim vsem. :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I wish you all a peacefull evening. :)

Ljubezen in toplina - "Love and warmth"

Pozdravček vsem. Tale objava bo malce krajša, saj mi kronično primanjkuje časa. Moje zaloge voščilnic knjig so pošle, zato je čas, da se lotim nekaj novih. Tale je poročna, inspiracija pa je bil tokratni "The Shabby Tea Room - Week #133: The White Challenge". Tole pa je moj izdelek:

Hello to all of the bloggers. This post will be a little shorter, since I lately really lack of the time. All of the book cards are gone, so it was a time to make some new ones. This one is a wedding card and the inspiration came from this week's "The Shabby Tea Room Challenge - Week #133: The White Challenge". And this is the card I made. The sentiment is in Slovene language and I designed it by myself and printed it out. It says: "May your marriage be filled with love and your home filled with warmth.

Želim vam vsem en čudovit vikend!Uživajte!

I wish to all of you a great weekeend ahead! Enjoy!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree ...

Danes je tak hecen dan z deževnim vremenom in kakšno slabo novico sem in tja. :) Moram ga malo popestriti s kakšno objavo. Tokratna voščilnica je nastala za "JustRite Friday challenge #081 - Charm Me", kjer je na voščilnici potrebno dodati "okrasek". Jaz sem jih dodala kar nekaj. Izdelala sem jih s setom štampiljk "JustRite Original - Christmas Ornament" in s skrčljivo folijo. Drevesce sem posula z mešanico "Pine" in "Sage" Flower softa. Nastala je tako letos moja prva novoletna voščilnica.

Hello. Today is one "funny" day with a rainy weather and a few not so good news for me. So I had to color it a bit sharing a card or two. Today's card was made for this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #081 - Charm Me", where the challenge is to add a charm on our creation. I used several, which I made with stamp set "JustRite Original - Christmas Ornament" and some shrink plastic. I decorated the tree with some "Pine" and "Sage" Flower Soft. This is also my first Christmas card this year.

Vesela bom kakšnega komentarja ali dveh. :)Uživajte v dnevu, čeprav deževnem.

I will be happy of a comment or two. :) Enjoy the day, although the rainy one.

Family - A circle of Strength and Love

Prijazen jutranji pozdravček vsem. Ena kratka objavica, predno se odpravim na telovadbo in nato na fizioterapijo s hčerkico. Pred časom me je soustvarjalka Karen Letchworth prijazno povabila, da se jim pridružim na ustvarjalnem izzivu bloga "Word Art Wednesday - challenges inspired by God's Word" in z veseljem objavljam svoj prispevek k izzivu št.44, katerega tema je LJUBEZEN. Izbrala sem ta čudoviti verz, ki ga imam že nekaj časa shranjenega za primerno priložnost in ga oblikovala ter natisnila. Uporabila sem barve tokratnega "CR84FN62 Color Challengea". Nastala pa je tale voščilnica:

Nice and warm morning Hello to all. One quick post for today before I ran off to do some workout and a physioterapy with my daughter. Some time ago my fellow blogger Karen Letchworth kindly invited me to join the challenges over at "Word Art Wednesday - challenges inspired by God's Word" and I am happy to be posting my addition to the challenge #44, for which the theme is LOVE. I chose a sentiment that I had saved on my computer for a while, waiting for the right opportunity. I designed it in the Word and printed it out. I used colors from this week's "CR84FN62 Color Challenge". And this is the card that I made:

Upam, da vam je všeč. Kaj več pa ob naslednji priložnosti. Prijazen in blagoslovljen dan želim vsem.

I hope you like it. I will share more with you next time. Have a nice and blessed day!

"Violettes for Birthday" Book card

Lep pozdravček vsem! :) Kot sem obljubila se vračam z drugo objavo za tokratni "JustRite Friday Challenge #080 - More than one fold". Prvo sem objavila mojo Accordion voščilnico, ki sem si jo že nekaj časa želela preizkusiti pa nikoli nisem našla časa in priložnosti. Danes pa bi vam rada pokazala voščilnico knjigo. Rada in pogosto izdelujem to vrsto voščilnic, saj so idealne za drobna darilca ali za denarna darilca. Danes sem izdelala Rojstnodnevno voščilnico knjigo:

Hello blogers. :) As promised I am back with the second card for this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #080 - More than one fold". First up was my accordion card that I wished to make for a long time but never found time or opportunity for it. Today I want to show you my Book card. I love Book cards. I am making them often, they are ideal for small presents or for money presents. Today I made a Birthday Book card:

Uporabila sem štampiljke "JustRite Cling - Violette Vintage Labels" in "JustRite Original - Plant a little Love Borders & Centers". Papirji so "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden" in "Hot off the Press inc. Paper Pizazz Sheets - Mixing Soft Patterned Papers", uporabila pa sem tudi bel svilen papir s pobleščičenimi rožicami za platnice. Odtisi so pobarvani z akvarelnimi barvicami in vodnim čopičem. Rožica je iz kolekcije "Prima Vintage Flowers".

I've used stamps from "JustRite Cling - Violette Vintage Labels" and "JustRite Original - Plant a little Love Borders & Centers". Papers are "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden" and "Hot off the Press inc. Paper Pizazz Sheets - Mixing Soft Patterned Papers". I've also used some silk paper with silver flowers for the bookcovers. Stamped images are colored with aquarell pencils and waterbrush. The big flower is from the "Prima Vintage Flowers" collection.

Tole pa je fotografija, ki sem jo uporabila za barvno inspiracijo. Sem pa dodala nekaj zelene.

And this is the my color inspiration photo. I did add some green though.

Upam, da vam je všeč. Vau... moj prvi JustRite izziv s kar dvema objavama. :) Vesela bom vaših komentarjev. Uživajte v dnevu!

Hope you like it... wooow... my first JustRite challenge with two entries. :) I am looking forward to your comments. They really do make me happy! :) Enjoy the day!

Purple Birthday Roses

Dolgo se že nisem pridružila izzivu na blogu "The Play Date Cafe", zato sem resnično želela izkoristiti tokratno priložnost. Ko sem videla barvno kombinacijo tokratnega "The Play Date Cafe PDCC#147", sem sicer malo podvomila, da bom ustvarila kaj objavi primernega. Kljub temu sem se lotila dela in moram priznati, da me je rezultat pozitivno presenetil. Izbrane barve so naravnost super in vsekakor jih bom še kdaj poizkusila. Tokrat sem izdelala kolekcijo voščilnice in uhančkov, ki je že dolgo nisem, le da je bil tokrat vrstni red obraten - navadno nastane najprej voščilnica, tokrat pa so nastali najprej uhančki in nato jim je sledila še voščilnica. Upam, da vam bo moj izdelek všeč. :)

It has been a while since I last entered my card into "The Play Date Cafe Challenge" so I really felt it was the time to do it. When I saw the color combination of this week's "The Play Date Cafe PDCC147" I doubted that I will be able to create something worth posting. When I got to work I was pleasently surprised. The selected color combination is gorgeous! I will be definately using it again some time in the future. This time I've made a collection of a card and an earings, which I haven't now for a while, but this time I changed the order - usually I create first the card, but now I first created the earings and then the card followed. Hope you'll like my project. :)

Uporabila sem štampiljko "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four" in papirje "Bo Bunny". Vesela bom vaših komentarjev. Vrnem pa se danes še z eno objavo. Lep večer želim vsem!

I've used "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four" stamps and some leftovers from "Bo Bunny" papers. I hope you like it. I will be more than happy to read your comments. I'll be back today with another post. Until then I wish you a nice evening!

Accordion card "Something is in the air"

Za tokratni "JustRite Friday Challenge "080" je bil izziv ustvariti voščilnico z več kot enim prepogibom. Navadno ne maram ustvarjati voščilnic z več prepogibi, z izjemo dveh. Danes želim pokazati accordion voščilnico, ki sem jo izdelala. Navodila za izdelavo sem na spletni strani splitcoaststampers zasledila že dolgo nazaj in jih imela shranjene za pravo priložnost, ki pa je prišla šele sedaj. :) Tako je to moja prva accordion voščilnica, a gotovo ne zadnja, saj sem z njo kar zadovoljna. Zadnja stran je žepek v katerega lahko pospravimo denarno darilce, saj je poročna voščilnica. Izdelala pa sem tudi škatlico, v katero se voščilnica pospravi.

For this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #080" we were to create a card with more than one fold. Generally I don't like making cards with too many folds. With the exception of two. Today I want to show you an accordion card that I made. I saw a tutorial allready a while back on the splitcoaststampers and had it saved for the occasion, but only now had the time and motivation to do it. So this is my first accordion card and I have to say I am quite satisfied with it. The last page of it has a small pocket (behind the butterfly) in which you can put money gift, since it is a wedding card. I also made a matching box to give a card away.

Za izdelavo sem uporabila papirje "Graphic 45 - Baby 2 Bride Collection", štampiljke "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" in šablone "Spellbinders Eyelet Squares". Pesmica je od "Toneta Pavčka - Nekaj je v zraku".

I used papers from "Graphic 45 - Baby 2 Bride Collection", stamps "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" and "Spellbinders Eyelet Squares". The song of which verses I used is from a famous Slovenian poet "Tone Pavček - Nekaj je v zraku", who died not long ago. The verses that I used go something like this: "Something is in the air - something beautiful, something soft, something passing by. Something is in the air. /.../ Something is in the air. Like a scent of flowers. Like a light of fireflies, iluminating in the dark. /.../ It is the love. Her breath and sigh." I hope I translated it OK. It is not easy... :) (blush)

Mislim, da sem za danes zaključila z objavami. Upam, da bo uspela pripraviti še drugo od voščilnic z več zgibi, ki so mi pri srcu. :) Lepo se imejte!

I think this is it with posts for today. Hopefully I will manage to make and post the second of cards with multifolds that I like. :) Have fun and enjoy the day!

Latice Birthday

Po včerajšnji voščilnici s kvadratki, ki je izzvenela precej moško, sem seveda morala izdelati še različico za nežnejši spol. Tokrat sem uporabila barve tokratnega "Colorthrowdown #207", postavitev pa je ostala enaka.

After yesterday post of a man's birthday card with squares I had to challenge myself and make another one for the ladies. :) This time I used the colors from this week's "Colorthrowdown #207", and the sketch remains the same.

Vse ostale podrobnosti o izdelavi se nahajajo v prejšnji objavi, zato je ne pozabite preleteti! :) Uživajte v dnevu, čeprav je deževen. :)

Everything else can be found in my previous post, so be shure to scroll down! :) Have a nice day, although it's rainy!

Birthday Squares

Trenutno imam za dokončati naročilo nekaj voščilnic za 50. rojstni dan in nekaj za poroko. Še posebej pri takih naročilih, je inspiracija vedno dobrodošla. Tokrat sem skušala ustvariti moško voščilnico. Te so še posebej zahtevne. Včasih me kakšne ustvarjalke oziroma njihove stvaritve neverjetno navdahnejo. Tako sem po inspiraciji nadarjene Pamele in njene objave na blogu "Miao - a design blog" ustvarila tudi ozadje za tole voščilnico. Barvna inspiracija je s tokratnega "ColourQ Challengea #152", postavitev pa s tokratnih "Retrosketches #26".

I am finishing an order of a few cards for a 50th birthday and a few ones for the wedding day. Specially with such orders any inspiration is more than welcome. This time I tried to finish a male birthday card, which are not easy to make at all. Somethimes some of the crafters and their work inspire me amazingly. So when I visited Pamela's blog over at "Miao - a design blog" and saw her amazingly stunning creation I was inspired to create this beautiful background for my card. The color inspiration comes from this week's "ColourQ Challenge #152" and the sketch from this week's "Retrosketches #26".

Polepila sem robove in vmesne linije in kvadratke pobarvala z distress črnili. Odtsranila sem trak, prerezala po dolžini na dva dela, vsakega posebej pritrdila na kraft karton in nato s tanko vmesno linijo na osnovo voščilnice. Izrezala sem poseben oval s "Spellbinders Labels Eighteen", vendar ne do roba, tako da sem dobila "mini voščilnico". Slednji sem robove osenčila z distress črnilom in jih zluknjala. Na zunanjost sem dodala številko 50, ki sem jo prekrila z washi trakom. V notranjost pa "Happy Birthday". Za zalepit mini voščilnico sem dodala trak na ježka, na zunanjosti pa gumbek in okrasni trak z drobnimi ptički, ki sem ga dodala tudi v notranjost voščilnice.

I taped the edges and the lines between the squares and then colored them with distress inks. I removed the tape, cut the cardstock in two pieces, adhered them to kraft cardstock and then both of them, with a small line between them on the base of the card. I cut out the specialy shaped oval with "Spellbinders Labels Eighteen", but didn't cut it right to the edge, so that I got another "small card". I distressed and pierced the edges. On the front I made a number 50 which I covered with washi tape and in the inside circle with a sentiment "Happy Birthday". I added a special velcro adhesive and a button on the front. I also added some ribbon with little birdies to open the "mini card", which I repeated in the inside of the card.

Uživajte v vikendu!

Enjoy the wekeend!

Gift Collection Eau De Cologne De France - Roses

En lep pozdravček vsem po nekoliko daljšem času. :) Pri nas sije sonček, otroci prekipevajo od energije in kmalu se začenja novo leto v vrtcu, tokrat tudi za mlajšo hčerko. Obetajo se nam kar pestri dnevi in izkoriščanje zadnjih dopustniških dni. Kljub temu pa skušam najti čas za svoje delovne obveznosti, sem in tja pa se prikrade tudi kakšna prosta urica za ustvarjanje "kar tako". V eni od takih sem ustvarila tudi tale darilni kompletek s parfumčkom in voščilnico, inspiracija pa je bil tokratni "JustRite Friday Challenge #079: Opposites Attract" in "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #47". Za nasprotni barvi v barvnem kolesu sem uporabila roza in zeleno, dodala pa sem še rumeno-oranžno, ki je v barvnem krogu v tretjem kraku izbranega barvnega trikotnika. Rada ustvarjam za JustRite izzive, velikokrat iz njihove inspiracije nastanejo nove ideje, zadnje čase pa mi navadno zmanjka časa, da bi svoje izdelke tudi objavila. Zato sem si tokrat obljubila, da temu ne bo tako. Spodaj je tako moj izdelek, ki je nastal na podlagi tokratne inspiracije:

One beautiful hello to all of you after a little bit longer time. :) We have a lot of sunshine, my kids are bursting with energy and soon we are starting a new year in our kindergarten. This year our youngest little princess will be joining in the fun too. So... we have some interesting days ahead and some of last minute summer fun to do. Still I am trying to squeeze in some time for crafting to do fullfil my obligations and also some crafting moments "just for fun". And so I managed to create this gift assemble with a card and a perfume, for which the inspiration was this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #079: Opposites Attract" and the "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #47". For the opposite colors in the color wheel I used hot pink and green and I also added some yellow-orange which is in the third corner of a color triangle in the color wheel. I love to create for JustRite challenges, they are my big inspiration but unfortunately lately I ran out of time to publish my creations. So I have a few still stuck in my drawer, maybe they will get their second chance. ;) But this time I promised to myself not to ran out of time, so here is my "piece of art" for this week's challenge:

Tale post je poln fotografija... :) Papirji so "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "Bo Bunny" in "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden". Štampiljke so "JustRite Cling - Shabby Chic Labels Four". Rožice so od "Prime". Uporabila pa sem še nekaj čipkastega traku, nekaj perl in nekaj biserčkov, da sem malo popestrila izdelek. Šivi so ročno šivani... žal še vedno nimam svojega šivalnega stroja. :(

Picture heavy post this time... :) Papers are from "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "Bo Bunny" and "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden". Stamps are "JustRite Cling - Shabby Chic Labels Four". Flowers are from "Prima". I used some lace and some perls and gemstones to add some bling. And those stitches are handstitched... I unfortunately still don't own a sewing machine. :(

Mislim, da je to to za danes. Se vidimo do naslednjič, do takrat pa čudovite zadnje avgustovske dni in obilo božjega blagoslova.

I think this is it for today. See you next time, till then I wish you gorgeous last days of summer august and a lot of blessings.

Beautiful Birthday with Butterfly Duo

Dobro jutro vsem z eno kratko objavico za danes. Preden družinica vstane bi rada delila voščilnici, ki sem ju izdelala za tokratni izziv na blogu "Embellishmagazine: Dry embossing color trends challenge", za inspiracijo pa mi je bila tudi skica na tokratnem izzivu na blogu "Hero Arts: Clean and Simple stamping and a sketch challenge". Tole pa je moj izdelek:

Good morning to all with a short post for today. Before the kids are up I wanted to share a card I made for this week's challenge over at "Embellishmagazine: Dry embossing color trends Challenge", for the inspiration I used also a sketch on this month's "Hero Arts: Clean and Simple stamping and a sketch challenge". And this are my cards:

Ozadje sem posprejala z mini misterjem in distress inki. Izrezala sem vrhnjo plast belega kartona, jo embosirala z embosirno srajčko z motivom lesa, jo razrezala v dva neenakomerna dela in pritrdila s 3D blazinicami na ozadje. Odtisnila sem metulja s štampiljko "Hero Arts" in ga pobarvala z akvarelnimi svinčniki in waterbrushem. Dodala sem nekaj perl in bleščice na trup metulja ter ga pritrdila po sredini s krilci navzgor. Dodala sem verz, ki je brezplačna digitalna štampiljka - ne spomnim se žal od kje.

I sprayed a background with my mini mister and distress inks. I cut out a layer of white cardstock, embossed it with a woodgraing embossing plate, cut it into two parts and ahered it to a background layer with 3D foam tapes. I stamped the butterfly from "Hero Arts" and colored it with aquarel pencils and waterbrush. I added some perls and some glitter onto the body of a butterfly. I added a sentiment, which is a freebie digital stamp - I don't recall from where did I get it.

Naj bo vaš dan uspešen kot se le da. Uživajte v dnevu!

May your day be blessed abundantly! Have fun!

Aleksandra
