Bella! I have Bella!

I've been down with the flu in the last week and I can tell you that getting a stampinbella is a great way to make me feel better...

My friends at Table for Five & I decided to do a challenge in which each of us take the same stamp and make what ever we want with it. And, we decided to use Bella.

I love Bella, I don't have any, but I love Bella!!!

Anyways, this is what I created - I made a card for a friend's Hena party:

I used some water pencils to color Bella and a couple of my newly purchased Prima flowers.

Inside the card I stamped a "Life is Good" sentiment to match the Bella image.

You're more that welcome to come over to our blog and see my friends works and share yours...

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

The next challenge

NEXT!

The second letter in the Hebrew alphabet is ב or "Bet". So we choose the word "בית" for this challenge. That means "home".

So I sat down and thought what does the word "Home" means to me and I immediately remembered my mom's cooking.
So now I'm thinking "I've gotta start making stuff to eat around the house... If we'll eat another pizza - the next time we'll do a blood test melted cheese will come out"...

First step is to make a recipes box, and here it is:

What do you think? Come to Table for Five and see my girls projects with this subject.

Love Love Love

As you all know, I'm part of a new design team, so to speak, at our new blog http://table-for-five.blogspot.com/.

Well, we decided on themes for each one of the Hebrew alphabet.
The first letter in Hebrew is א or "Alef", so we chose the wore "אהבה" which means "LOVE".

So I found a pattern for a cute card on the web (I can't even remember where...) and decided to go with it.
I found a cute poem to attach to the card and there you have it, my love card:

I waiting to see your interpertation at Table for Five.

I've been tagged! Again!

This game is going around the blogging girls in Israel and it reached my blog through Diana.
Well, I'm supposed to tell 7 facts about myself and tag some other 7 blogs and let them know about it.

So, here we go - 7 facts about me:

1. It's been almost a decade since my hair was last seen in it original color.. It's starting to come out just now. I've been dyeing my hair in various colors since I was about 15 or 16...

2. I'm an animal trustee... which means in Israel that I made a pledge to help to stop all animal cruelty in all it's forms, to educate people about animals and to prevent any kind of violent acts against animals (I can go up to a person if he's hurting an animal and ask for his details and give him an actual & official report. I have that permission from Israel's police force).

3. I just recently started to cook on my own. It's quite a challenge for me but I'm slowly learning.. How long can I keep taking my mom's cooking to my place?

4. I work as a Software Quality Tester... and yes it's as boring as it sounds... and it has nothing to do with crafts or creativity. At least the people I work with are awesome!

5. I don't like girly shopping. I hate trying out clothes, shoes, accessories etc. When I'm going out for clothes shopping I try and shop it all in one store in half an hour. tops. For example, I had to buy a cute outfit for my Hena ceremony (a ceremony we have about a week before the wedding). So on the day of the ceremony I went out to a local store and bought the outfit and the shoes in the same store and in 15 minutes. I went in, looked at the outfits on sale, picked one, tried it on, found a pair of shoes, tried them on, looked in the mirror, changed my clothes back, paid and left. I didn't pause for a second. Fast as lightning - just how I love my shopping!

6. I have my own business for designing wedding album. I just started it so there's a lot of work to be done (set up a site, get the first customers etc.) - That's the reason I haven't been around lately...

7. I don't like to get tagged... at first. I'll explain - each time I'm getting tagged all I can think about is "not again. what else can I write that I haven't written already? why me?". But then when I start writing the post for the tag game I enjoy thinking about what to write, remembering things about me that I forgot (yes, it happens), picking people to tag... the whole thing. I had fun with this one.

The 7 girls I chose to tag are all from my SBS19 group:
1. Jennifer's blog
2. Jennie's blog
3. Wendy's blog
4. Sue's blog
5. Juanita's blog
6. Anabela's blog
7. Jo's blog

Wow. That was long.. I'm off to tell the girls they've been tagged.

Thanks for looking!

"Thinking of You" card

I found an interesting template of a tag card of the web a few weeks ago so I thought I should give it a go...
What do you think?

A little bit of Math

You take 5 women.
Add 1 table.
Add tons of scrapbooking suplies multiplied by 5.
Substract a lot of time away from home.
Add tons of fun & laughter.
All that equals to one big happy friendship that "gave birth" to a cute blog (yes, another one.. I just can't stop).
Our new blog is called Table For Five. We decided to set up a blog together that will use to publish our projects that we do together (each time in a different subject).
We'll be happy to see you there and get your responses.
Enjoy!

Look what I got (Friendship swap)

Remembere I showed you the card that I sent Jewel for our SBS19 friendship card swap?
Well, I got the card that she made for me. I’m so happy I got it. Thank you, Jewel!
I love it.

Isn’t it great? I just wanted to show off… lol… Thanks again Jewel!
Thanks for looking!

OMG! Buttons!

Look at the unbelievable collection of buttons that my dear-sweet-mom gave me:

Isn’t she amazing? My recent crave is buttons and I told her about it. So she just went away and found some good old buttons for me.

And believe me - The amount of buttons you see in the pictures is just about half of what she gave me.
I love them - They look great & they save me money…lol…

I love my mom!

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!

A few new cards

Here we go...

For a long time I've been wanting to create some new cards out of some new designs that I find on the web every once in a while.

So, I sat down throughout the day on Saturday and made three cute cards with some new design.

The first one and my personal favorite is the buckle card:

I love the way you open the card. It's so cute.

In addition, I created it in my favorite color combo.

Another card that I like (again, with a loved color combo) is the tri-fold card:

Last but not least, is it usual card? is it an artistic piece for your desk? No. It's just a pop-up card... lol...

I hope you like them.
