Hi Everyone,

Another birthday party. Another gift to make.
This little girl, my daughter's friend has a long long name, so I had to go bigger.
Usually I use 5 X 7 frame. This time I used, at the first time, 8 X 10 shadow box that I found last week at Michael's on sale. I love the results, and it's fun as I can use any embellishment that I want. I'm not limited as far as thickens.
Alessandra is an elegant classic girl, so I tried to match the gift for her style and I think it turned out really nice and I believe she will love it.
I finished the gift and wrapped it and we rushed out being late for the party. Last month I made one for another friend of Luna, and yesterday at the party her mom came to me and thanked me for the special pretty gift. I was pleased! :)

Ingredients:

Card stock, Pearls, Blings - Recollections
Designer Paper - My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found -  Market Street
Cricut Cartridge - Sophisticated - Teresa Collins
Flowers, Lace, Ribbon - toiDe on Etsy

 

Have a Great week,

Thanks for stopping by,

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,

Hailey - Wall De'cor

We had a great time meeting old friends today.
Luna's friend, Hailey turned 7 and we all gathered at the mini golf course to celebrate with her.
She loves animals so this horse was perfect for her gift. I hope she will enjoy her birthday gift.
I used IBSC #12 sketch for the composition and inspiration.

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

 I'm so thrilled. Few days ago the envelope was finally in my mailbox. Special delivery from down under. My Stamp set arrived. Yayyyy... Beautiful Ovals from Joanna - Inspired by Stamping. Luckily they arrived on perfect timing, just before my favorite friend, Anat, birthday. So her birthday is tomorrow and here is the card I made for her with lots of LOVE and excitement inspired by IBSC#7 picture ;)

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

Happy Day :) Yayyyy.... - 2 reasons to be happy today!

Happy Day :) Yayyyy.... - 2 reasons to be happy today!

Reason #1 - I just finished my first card challenge :) I'm so happy... I keep moving on with my love to papers. A love that was neglected for so many years, and recently woke me up and fills me with all these feelings of creating again. I'm so happy and thankful for that!!!
Reason #2 - It's my birthday today!!! My own special day. This is the best gift for myself taking these few quiet hours, while everybody sleep, and craft!!!

So here is my birthday card for myself...

Have a Happy Day
