Tag, you're it!

not really... but still.. :)
I can't really remember when was the last time that I created a tag. Anyways, after a long week of hard work I needed something short, simple, cute...
So I decided to put my Silhouette SD to good use and cut the "happy birthday" tag that I had on there.
and guest what happened? I think that my silhouette blade is broken... It did the work just fine but some small little black pieces fell off, and that's never a good sign.. right? It's just my luck :(

Well, here's how it turned out:

I'm planning on using this tag for my dad's birthday next month. I hope he'll like it.

Thanks for looking!

Another Christmas set

And this time - Keychains!

I thought about creating a small item that would make an excellent little gift to give around the holidays.
The idea that immediately came to my mind is keychains. Just because I gave a bunch of them out when I left my previous job and it was a huge success.
"finally, a gift that I can use", was the general opinion among the receivers :)
Anyways, I created a bunch of keychains (11 to be exact) with the Christmas theme in mind.
Have a look:

And now, I'm putting it all up for sale at my Etsy shop.

It was so fun to make them. I got to use my Silhouette SD machine, which is always awesome.
Not to mention the paint that has been lying here for ages just waiting for me to use it.

Thanks for stopping by!

We've Got An Assignment!

So, over the weekend my good friend Keren asked Ronit & I if one of us could make her a gift card holder. She needed it for a good friend of hers.
Anyway, Ronit & I immediately decided to conduct a little contest in which we will both make gift card holders and Keren will choose the one she likes..

Needless to say, Ronit won. But that only because she lives practically next door to Keren and I don't. And her gift card holder was prettier... details. details.

I set down to make the gift card holder and decided to use Heather Bailey's template for a gift card box. Here's the box:

I also decided to make a video of me making the box, enjoy!

I hope you liked the box. Make sure that hop over to Ronit's blog to see what she made. The blog is in Hebrew but the pictures are universal... lol...

Thanks for visiting me today. Have a great day!

Another long forgotten "Table For Five" project

Remember "Table for Five"? The blog that me and my friends started a while back?


Well, we started the alphabet challenge and we're at the fifth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, which is "ה" (or Hey). The word that we picked was "Hadarim" which means "citrus".


The purpose was to create anything that had something to do with citrus. It can be the colors, it can be the shape, it can be anything.


So, I decided to make a sweet sweet friend of mine a recipe book of citrus desserts. I collected about 20 recipes and wrote them down (by HAND!!!) on a circle shaped paper that I designed digitally and printed.

The covers of the recipe book were made to look as much as an orange so I cut out the slices of the "orange" and organized them in the middle of the circle shaped cover.


This is the card that I added to the gift:

As you can see, it also has that citrus feel to it... with the colors and all.
I didn't add any sentiment on the card because... first of all it's a "just because..." card (which means I don't really have a reason for giving it away.. The person is just a good friend of mine, that's it). Secondly, I don't have any sentiment stamp that fits the "occasion"... oh... the small detail...

Thanks for joining me today!

Rosh HaShanah is Coming!!

I don't know if you know that holiday so I'll tell you a little bit about it (or in other words - I'll quote Wikipedia):

Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish holiday commonly referred to as the "Jewish New
Year". It is observed on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of
the Hebrew calendar, as ordained in the Torah. Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim ("Days of Awe"), or Asseret Yemei Teshuva (The
Ten Days of Repentance), the most solemn days of the Jewish year, which
conclude with the holiday of Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is
the start of the civil year in the Hebrew calendar (one of four "new year"
observances that define various legal "years" for different purposes).

Anyways, so every "Rosh Hashanah" we exchange gifts or at least greeting cards with our friends and family members.

Like every weeks for the last month or so I met with 4 other friends of mine (you'll more about them soon...) and we exchanged gifts (although we said that we won't... lol).

Look at what I got from them:

I'll go from left to right: Tamar gave me a little bag of goodies (Ribbons, Brads, Tags etc...); Diana gave me an altered box (loaded with sweet cookies inside); Ronit gave me the cute card, on the bottomof the picture, that holds 2 "sets" of cookies (you see only one "set"... I ate the other one...); and Maya gave me a home made jam with a tilda greeting card.

I love you guys! Thank you!

I hope you all have a great year!

2 in 1

I wanted to take part in the All That Scraps Design Team Challenge for a while now.
I saw the sketch and for some reason it immediately reminded me that my mom has a birthday next week. So I decided to do 2 in 1 post. Get it? I’ll show you the card that I made for the ATSDT challenge and I’ll give it to my mom for her birthday… I’m a genius... lol...
Anyway, this is the card that I made for the ATSDT challenge & for my mom’s birthday:
What do you think of it?
I used a white cardstock and layered it withe a piece of purple "wavy" cardstock and another piece of white cardstock that I stamped with a cute image that I like. Then, I added some buttons that I got from my mom and some pearl gems. I like the result.
I attached it to the gift that I bought her:
[Picture of mom’s gift]
All in all, it turned out nice. I think…

Yay! Look at me!

Remember me telling you all about the tons of things I need to scrap this month?

Well, Yay! I'm getting there.

You already saw the card I made for my husband's birthday, now Iwant to show you what I made for my sister-in-law, Rina. She's my husband's twin sister. I think that she doesn’t even know I have a blog so no worries about her seeing her card and gift here.

On last Thursday I was at a mini album class. It was so much fun! We got together at my friend Diana's house and worked till the middle of the night (well, we need to go back home sometime, right?). So I decided I'm making the mini album as a gift for Rina' s birthday.
This is the results of my work that night:

And of course, a gift can't be given without a proper greeting card:

I made this card with matching colors (at least I tried to..) so I used a pattern paper that I love, a cute flower, and again GEMS !!!
By the way, maybe you've already guessed it but the words on the card says "Happy Birthday!" or "YOM HOOLEDET SAME-ACH!" in Hebrew...
Spend some time here - you'll eventually learn how to speak in Hebrew. lol..

What Goes Around Comes Around

I had no idea Maya (my friend from the last post) was going to give me a present for my birthday.
Now, her birthday July 8th, so I didn’t have to much time to prepare a gift for her birthday but I decided to do something for her so the greeting card was the first thing that was ready.

And now to the gift:
I assembled a few old CDs and some patterned paper. I punched holes (with my new “Bind-it-All”) through the CDs and gave her rings to actually bind the album.
I added some matching embellishment and there you have it: A mini-album kit.
Everything was placed in a cute box that I made from a heart shaped box of chocolate.

I really hope she’ll like it. I’m giving the whole thing to her this Thursday on the way to another class we’re going to together.

Better Late Than Never

I know I haven’t been posting a lot of pictures lately and that I promised to post some so here I go, starting with a “Thank You” post of some sort.
As you all probably know, I celebrated my 25th birthday last Wednesday.
On Thursday, My friend (Maya) and I went to a stamping class together and on the way there she gave me a lovely birthday present.

Her gift consisted of 7 beautiful 12in. by 12in. Patterned Papers, a bag of lots and lots of cute embellishments and of course a chocolate box (which is not included in the picture because it’s already half empty – it’s my favorite chocolate).
I know it’s a bit late but “Better Late than Never”, right?

Maya, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
