Paper cup christmas tree

It's paper christmas time! I was thinnking about a new version of the paper tree because I have to make one this time of the year. I knew the idea was arround the corner and then I saw ....paper cups!!!! I started to search the shape of a christmas tree in them and this is the result. I love it because it has a clean design but you can add some warm details with the extra decorations. There are just some small tricks to follow and you can make your own paper cup christmas tree.... Intrestead?

I'll also submit this project for this week Color room palette. You can also check it for some inspiration.

There is still time to make some new christmas decoration...... I'm going to dig some extra ideas :-)

Have a great time!

Featured on The color room

YAY! Another feature on The Color room!!!!! I'm sooooo happy. Thank you so much!

Fun with friends

I restarted to invent LOs with colors that I wouldn't pick without the proposal The color room. Nice and warm colors were perfect for making a LO that catches the sunny day that Kian enjoyed with his friends. I had so much fun sitting on the swing with 5 boys and making photos going up and down :-)
What I especially like on this LO is a pinch of artificial moss that gives to the page a great "playgroundy" look and just perfect for boy-pages.

This is my quick post and enjoy the last summer days.... That's an order :-)!!!!! I have to enjoy them too so I'll put down more lines when the weather gets worse :-)

You love chalk

Not finished with chalk :-) In fact I made some pics that I love and I have to say that I especially love the one that I used in this LO because those tiny beatiful hands made a chalk heart appear - can you see it? And that makes the pic also part of the title.
The base is canvas and the corners are adorned with Prima recycled flower base. The gears are painted and I used also some selfmade resin hemisphere to make some elements more dimensional and some real chalks at the bottom of the page.

The inspiration of the colors were guided by The Color room palette #56.

Have a great day and enjoy the colors!

Follow your dreams

Follow the colorsof the rainbow, the good feelings, a presentiment of nice surprises. Follow new experiences and their lessons, follow happy hearts and intresting souls. Follow the beating of your heart and the inner voice.... Follow your dreams.

Here's my take on the last palette of The Color room. There's been a lot of time from the last one. I felt inspired by the blue palette and by the photo of my little treasure. A lot of Prima things in this LO and some home printing... Wires for dimension. I cut the leaves and covered them with the Rock candy crackle paint. I love when a boy LO still keeps some tenderness.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy it with the ones you love!

Sharing

Sharing is one of the needs humans have. You can see it in children when they call mom or dad to share if something is happening, you can see it when something beatiful tauches our lifes and it can't be as beatiful as it is when shared. It's another strange feature of humans. I can see how sharing is something that is innate in Kian and he always wants to be sure that we are experiencing the same thing and afterwords he enjoys to describe it.
This LO is inspired by The Color room palette. A very feminine selection of colors but it goes ok with this cute pic showing Kian sharing his lollypop with daddy.

Some close ups....

The title is made using a glitter color. I first used the indigo paper to make a sort of a transfer of the word and that I covered it with glitter and made some stitching for an extra detail. I made the white bricks using the polyclay.

The frame is made with some tarsparent pink paper that I first push below the paper frame and sewed and than rolled over itself and sewed again to form a kind of a airy effect.

Have a nice day and thanks for stopping!!!!

Featured again on The Color room

I'm glad to announce that I was featured again on The Color room or better my witch's hat!!!!! That's great: my two projects being feature for two weeks, one after another! What a blast!

Witch's hat

A new palette of The Color room and this time the colors are perfect for another halloween project, just with a small difference: yellow instead orange.
This is my take on this palette: a chipboard witch's hat.... I love the smashed chipboard for the upper part because that's what a true witch needs. I did some clear embossing on it and some white stamping before I rolled it and a lot of misting for an extra shiny look (not very visible :-( in the pics ).

Some wired shapes... The two stars are looking out of the top checking for some good spells :-)

But there's more: the hat has a surprise: a hidden treasure in it and it could be anything you want to put under it for halloween.... It's so nice to find and offer surprise, don't you think?

Clear embossed stars with blinks. I love how they seem to dance all over the hat surface...

Have a wonderful and creative weekend!

Featured!!!!!

What a great start of the day! I checked The color room and my LO "My sweetheart" was featured!!!! I'm so happy and you know how I love to add my contribute there because the quality of talent is so elevated as from the DT as from the members.

YuuuhheeeeeY!!!!!!

My sweetheart

Kian is crazy for lollies. He loves this little award for being a good boy and allthough he doesn't love girly things he makes an exception for the heart shaped lolly. The title was inevitable and it goes right for him and for me....
I used a very soft misting at the back with the graphite Glimmer mist. The heart is made out of the Tattered angels frames. The colors are suggested by The color room with the current palette.

A touch of the past: a letter seal....

Have a nice day and happy scrapping to everyone!

You are irresistible

20th palette on The color room and you know what? I did them all. Yes, a lot of inspiration in there and a lot of colors that I wouzld never use and this makes it even more fun - to find a combo of colors and the layering that makes you happy with the page.
Here is another palette that I would never make but I'm happy that I reached the final result that reflects my style: Purple grape, Dusty Green, Bright Blue, Really Lavender. Well the color in the picture are not like they are in the page. There is a higher impact of the lavander color.

The pic was taken in the occassion of the last day of kindy and there was a little party and Kian is wearing elephant ears because he was part of the elephant group and I find him particulary irresistible in this photo. I made a lot of misting and masking in this page and I love how the two techniques goes perfectly together, one on the other.

I paited the lace with regular acrilyc paint...

A hand made paper flower (Holtz recipe)...

Thank you for dropping by, I really appriciate it and I wish you a lot of great last summer drops!!!

Happy

This time a LO that combines two challenges:
On Scrapping the music this week a REM song inspires us: Shiny happy people!!!! A photo of my wedding was just perfect because everybody was happy and relaxed. Everybody was enjoying the picnic and sitting on the blankets and having fun. This is surely one of my best moments to remember...
I had to make this page also for The Color room as the palette was just the same as were the colors on our wedding day (except the lavanda) and also in this occasion the photo perfectly fit in...

Yes....I know.... I used this alphas again but I really love them very much. In the next days I'll post the tutorial. I hope you'll like it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

I'm the STM winner!!!!

Yupppppiii! I'm so happy because I won on Scrapping the music!!!!! I love this place and I feel very inspired to create a page hearing a song because each song opens a drawer in your mind and brings out a specific memory or moment!!!!! And I'm glad that this Sheryl Crow's song brought me a great acchivement. Thank you soooooo much STM DT. You know how I appriciate your inspiration and admire your work!!!!!

The next thig is....gues what? Yeah, my contribution to The Color room. I loved the current palette with the red and two nuances of green - they are a perfect combo. The pic I decided to use is this Kian's photo (an exception :-)) and looking at him I couldn't resist ti put that title: "I love you more + more".

This is my new technique of alphas and let me know if you are instrested in this tutorial. You can see this alphas also on the LO "Soak up the sun" and i love the way they turn out. So, if you want them too just let me know!

I want to show you my new old friend. It's my grandma typewriter and it will be a perfect companion for my next LO. It has about 40-50 years and it still works perfectly and I love love love this kind of vintage hepels!!! You can be sure I'll use it in my next LO!!

Thank you for visiting and I hope you return to visit me!!
