Thank you

Here are 2 cards that I was working on few weeks ago, when I came back from my summer vacation. They were inspired by Mojo Monday #254 but never were submitted to the challenge.
I made those cards for my friends who helped while we were far, far away...
The stamp on the second card is an Hebrew stamp from the sets I bought in Israel in the summer. It looks funny but it means: "There is no one like you".
I'm glad to have some stamps in Hebrew in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a great weekend,

Another birthday present to make. Another white night. Another Post.

Here is my latest creation, I was working on last night.
I love this projects! So much fun to prepare a birthday present for a 7 year olds.
And, my daughter Luna is so proud to give these presents to her friends.
I asked her this morning, before she left for the party, what she would rather get as a present from a friend, a Barbie or A picture like the ones I make. Lucky her, she said a picture :) Barbie, I won!!! ... So happy!!!

The inspiration was from Mojo Monday sketch of the week. Fun!

Here is the quick card that I made this morning for the party:

We hope to see him next year again :)

You Go Girl

I just realised that I'm actually creating memories through my cards.
This month two years ago I became an American citizen.
I was not excited about it and it took me few good years to start the process.
But right there, at the naturalization ceremony, surrounded by all these people that finally fulfilled their dream, I realised that WOW, so many people willing to do so much, pay so much and go through so much in order to become an American citizen. I didn't plan, and it was not even on my wish list. I was naturally lucky to get married and have kids to American. I didn't have to do much for it. And yes, I did find myself crying there.
This card is a little reminder of this milestone, and that nothing is for granted!
I do appreciate this country, and I do love my life here, although I'm far away from my family and friends. I got a great new family and friends here, that I could not find elsewhere.

I combined 3 different challenges in these card:
IBSC#11
MOJO Monday #244
Dynamic Duos #5

Happy Mothers Day

Hey everybody,
Here is my Mothers Day creation.
With lots of love and respect for all of my moms: My beloved mom that is over seas in Israel. My mother in law that is the best MIL ever and help me out with so many things all the time. My step mother in law that is great spiritual soul, I always enjoy having conversation with her and she picks the best cards that are touching deep in my heart. My last mom is my friend Ruti, without her I was lost here - she leaves down the street and just like a mom for me and grandma for my kids - cooking for us, picking up the kids from school if we can not make it, making sure I'm OK and above all LOVING us. I wouldn't have these pretty elements on my cards without her - Her studio is scrapper/crafter H-E-A-V-E-N she has thousands of thousands of flowers, laces, ribbons, fabrics, buckles, buttons and the list is very long still... and all of these items that some of them are real vintage are available at her etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Toide .

I submit this card for two fun challenges:

Inspired By Stampin IBSIC #6 sketch:

 

And for the combo colors challenge of CR84FN challenge #53:

 

As a little girl I remember my mom always being dressed nice and classic. So when I think of MOM I see a clean and neat petite lady, although I'm a mom and far from that.
This card shows this image that I have in my had since childhood. I love my mom and appreciate all what she have done for me all my life and keep doing for me even being far far away. This card with all of it's details make me feel home, reminds me my mom's warmth from a child point of view. I love you Mom! Happy mothers day!

Love this cameo and lace flower...

So happy I found this pearls embellishment at Michaels, I was hoping to find something like this that in one hand looks like pearl necklace and in the other hand has the outline of the banner in the sketch. Something that is soft and feminine and also stands out by itself.

Thnks for stopping by

Basic Grey - February born step mother in law birthday card

My beloved step mother in law just celebrated her birthday last month. Her birthstone is Amethyst, so she is basically a purple lover.
I dug in my paper boxes and found this super pretty Basic Grey pattern paper that was the inspiration for the whole card. I <3 Basic Grey!!!
The flower was cut with Cricut using Spring Fever Seasonal Cart. Recollection Happy Birthday Stamp. Purple ribbon and purple blings. I doodled around, inking around and  Tadammmm...
She, off course, was thrilled to receive it with the kids pictures to her mailbox
