I can't believe I didn't share this with you...

I went through my creations folder and I came across a mini (or short) digital album that I made out of our "before the wedding" picutres.

I checked and it seems that I didn't show you the album, and I just can't believe it.

Anyways, sorry about that, here's the album:

Well, that's the first part of the album. I quite like it.

I used a bunch of digital kits that I found over the web (the ones I used in this album is from the shabby princess). If you like digital scrapbooking that's the site to visit. I just love their style! and I already added them to my favorites in my sidebar.

These pictures were taken about a week before the wedding (which means almost two years ago... phew... I can't believe it's been two years already...). We had a lot of fun that day. The photographer was so funny. We both were so nervous about everything but he cracked us up so we had fun and the picutres show it.. I think...

Thank you for joining me again today!
Have a great week!

HPT Suspended...

Hi all!
I sat down today, as usual, to write my post for tommorow's HPT and I came to a decision: I really don't enjoy sharing handmade layouts anymore.
I'm not really sure why. I quite like what I did so far but I just don't enjoy sharing it..
Maybe it's related to the fact that I tried to set up a small business of my own for albums' designs and it didn't work or I don't know.
All I know is that I don't enjoy as much as I did before so I decided to suspend the HPT for now.

I'm planing a lot of changes around here.. I won't tell you about them but let me tell you - I'm sure you'll love the changes. It will be interesting.

Thank you for reading me so far, I hope you understand.
Have a great day!

Random Card Wednesday #11

Can't believe I got so far...

OK. Let's get right down to business. I don't really celebrate Valentine's day with my husband (we love each other each and every day so we don't need a special day bla bla bla...).
But, and that's a big BUT.. All those awesome and sweet cards I see over the web these past few weeks got me. I just had to make some love cards.


So, as always, I turned to my scrapping idol for "advise" and I found this beautiful card over at Kristina's blog.
Since I have a huge collection of buttons in a veriety of colors, I decided that I wanted to make one too.
So I saw the video, listened to the instruction carefully and then I just made my own thing:
I used a chocolate brown cardstock for the card base and about 20 white or clear buttons.
I addition, I used a white gel pen for the border that I doodled and for the "...love...love..." that I wrote there...

This card is super easy and fun to make. The hardest part of making it was picking out the buttons...

Here's a small close up on those buttons.

Supplies:
Cardstock - Chocolate Brown (no specific brand);
Accessories - about 20 buttons (white, clear and cream colored);
Tools - Paper trimmer/scorer (Provocraft), White gel pen.

Hi again!
Like I promised, today I'll continue showing my sample album.

This is the first page in Ron & Ronit's section of the sample album. I decided that each couple will get about 20 layout and that way the album will hold 3 different couples.

Anyways, Here today's page:
I used Ronit's Cricut to cut out those vanilla letters. I cut them out at about 3 inches high.
In addition, I used a silver gel pen to ouline the big photo (and added a little doodle at the top).
As you can see, the photos are very similar, that's why I made only one of them in color. Just to give it an different focal point, more or less...

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed it.

Random Card Wednesday #10

Happy Wednesday everyone!


Thank you for joining me again to the RCW #10 I have here on my blog.


Today, I'll show you another Bella card that I made (I told you that you'll be seeing a lot of them from now on):
For the card base, I used a very light polka dot yellow paper that I didn't know what to do with it. So I made a card with it.

I used a scrap of patterned orange cardstock that I had left from a project I'm working on right now (can't show it to you yet...). I sanded off the edges of it to expose the white core a bit.. I love that effect.
I stamped the Bella with Black Stazon ink and colored it with my Sharpies...

And, of course, as you can see, I used some foam adhesive tape for the stamped image... I just had to pop that Bella up.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for looking!

Handmade Page Thursday #9

Hello again everyone,

Like I promised, I have a new wedding album pages (or layouts) to share with you.
The album that I'll start with today is my sample album that will contain lots of layout designs with some other wedding pictures...
So, here's the first page that I made:

This page is used as the "header" of the whole album.
I used one of Ron & Ronit's wedding pictures of their shadows that I just loved.
For the letters I used some vanilla cardstock that I cut with Ronit's Cricut (awesome machine - I can stare at it for hours while it's working).
On top of the letters I added some light green gems to add some sparkle to the page.

Well, I quite liked the result. What do you say?

Random Card Wednesday #9

Hello again,

I finally had some time this last weekend to create some cards so I have a brand new card to show you all:
This is a card that I made at Ronit's house on our last "get together" before all her exams kick in...

I used some craft cardstock for the base of the card and used some of Ronit's doodling stmaps on it. On top of that I added my new Bella stamp (yes, yes, I gave in and bought a few... so don't be surprised to see a lot of them from now on). I stamped my Bella on a vanilla cardstock and I used a bright pink for matting it. I'll have the whole recipe at the end of the post.

I just had to use some plain dimensionals to pop the Bella off the craft cardstock.

Now, I took the last picture just to show you the coloring that I've made (I had fun doing that!):

Card Recipe:
Cardstock colors: Craft, Bright Pink, Vanilla (no fancy brand name. just from the typical craft store here).
Stamps: Ballonabella (StampingBella); Dot Flourishes (Inkadinkado - Clear Stamps Set).
Inks: Green Galore, Real Red(All Stampin' Up!); Black (Stazon).
Accessories: Scallop border punch (Fiskars), Blender pen, Dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!
Have a great day!

Handmade Page Thursday #8

Listen and Listen closely... I'm going to say it once. I've had enough of my own wedding picutres!!!
I can't look at them anymore. I know them all by heart and I've hade enough of the Layouts that I make for them..

So, Since I made a few more and haven't showed them to you yet, I decided to show you all the layouts of my wedding album at once and stop showing my own wedding pictures for a while.

Only 4 layouts, I know. But I decided to get it over with... And I bet that you started to get tired of them too... Even if you won't admit it...

So there. Now we're done. Starting from next week I'm going to show you a bunch of layouts of a different couple (Ronit & Ron - Say hi!) and when I'll run out of their wedding layouts... we'll see... Who knows??

Thanks for looking!
Have a great weekend!

I'm back... + Random Card Wednesday #8

I'm back... Can't say I'm all better now because I don't want to wake up the beings that are responsible for my health lately.... but - I'm back.

I got an award earlier this week and now I'm back for the weekly tradition - the RCW! YAY!!!
This time I have a card that I made as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness - I recetly learned this term...) for a friend of mine from work that did me a few favors so I had to let her know I appreciate her.

As you've probably guessed (or not) I took the inspiration for the color combo from Kristina (she's turning out to be my blogging goddess.. hehe..).
I know. I know. These are not the exact colors I should have used but I don't have any SU! colors and these are the supplies that I have.. so... tough...

Anyways, I took some extra shots of the card from all sorts of angles since I love it and, well, since I had to give it away. So enjoy:

Well, I had to take one more picture of the card on my desk, right? Thanks for looking!
Have a great day!
