Tattered Angels birthday card

Hello bloggers! How are you? I'm back with my first project of the month right out of the Tattered Angels world and it's glimmery inspiration. This month you'll find tons of ideas on how to enhance your projects doing stencil with the Tattered Angels paints. 

Here is my first take on this theme: a boy birthday card.The background is just a simple piece of white cardboard but with some misting it really becomes a prescious patterned paper. For making this stencil I just used one of those cake paper napkins. It holds perfectly the created center. For this project the Glimmer mist I used is Dragonfly. For putting some accent on the little birdie I decided to color it with Forget Me Not Glimmer Glaze and sparkle some additional glitter on it because belive it or not also boys appriciate if something is glittery and it looks like a treasure for them.

  

Stay misted! :-)

Invited designer for Scrap Boutique

I'm very happy to announce that I'm the Invited designer for Scrap boutique!

Scrap Boutique is an amazing place where you can find new ideas, master classes, talented girls and much more.

For this occassion I created a Ladybug gift container for newborns. At the same time this project is also a card because there's some available place on the bottom of the ladybug for a message.

The ladybug was created for Giorgio and the inside gift was a little hand knitted baby hat that my mom made. I think handmade gifts are just the best for babies.

It was so nice to create something new and if you like it just visit Scrap Boutique where you'll find my tutorial for the realization.

Have a great day and seach for new, intresting ideas!

Birthday wish

First day of spring and last hours of my birthday. It was a wonderful day. It started with baloons in the kitchen and living room and colorful candles on a yummy lemon cake. After a quick blow and many sweet kisses from my boys my hubby surprised me taking me out for a romantic breakfast. The day was a perfect dropping of great and marvelous surprises: my house filled with the ones I love, handmade presents, fragrant flowers, fulfilleed whishes, good food and important, unforgetable words written on paper or on my screen.

A birthday always brings my mind to consider what are my true wishes... This year I realized that I don't want one of my wishes to come true but I want my already fulfilled and most important wish to persist in time. And this LO is a gift I made myself to me.... Happy birthday Jana, may your journey give you the possibility to become wiser and may your eyes see the happiness in the ones you love!

"I want my wish to last forever"

Thank you.......I love you!

Have a great day!

Birthday globe

I love making something different than a card for birthdays. I'm always thinking about something new and something durable at the same time and something that can be a nice home decor.

This project was make for a little girl for her 2nd birthday. A birthday globe. A little girly cupcake preserved in a ball on a base. I covered half of the globe with some book pages to create a safe haven. I used some hay at the bottom to give to the little cupcake a nice and tender support. The cupcake is made just with pattern paper, some styrofoam, a lot of flowers on the top and a little candle (that is not a candle but a polymer clay stick and a piece of thin line glued on the top). A tiny baby shoe completes the small bow. I love the different old pink shades playing in this projects. Here are some details...

I want also to remind you that on TAAFOMFT is going on a nice themed challenge: FAVORITE FEATURE and I find this one particulary versatile because you can scrap a lot of things and it can be a layout, a card, an altered item, a mini... whatever you want to create as long as it has to do with your FAVE FEATURE!! And remember to take a look at the wonderful ideas that the 2nd DT group created... Marvelous!!!!!! The winner wil be delighted with a special prize!

So.... Happy birthday Emi and....... Paper dreams to all of you!

Altered carriage/recycled lampshade

You give me the possibility to paint the rainbow on grey skies. You always have the ticket for the Wonderland. You show me the beauty of the colors and the simplicity of being a human being. You created me and gave me the opportunity to grow and look out of the window for fresh air. You showed me your different faces and surprised me with brilliant changes. You gave me the opportunity to see that the world was different, better. We shared smiles and tears and tried to get the best out of it. Thank you for being special. Happy birthday mom!

I used an old lampshade to make this carriage and added a part of a broken canle holder on the top. For the wheels I went out in our garden and picked some vinesand slowly gave them a rounded shape. The styrofoam heart is covered with acrilyc paint, mod podge and moulding compound. I added an explosion of grungeboard little hearts, Prima flowers and Tattered angels glimmer chips. The quote is printed on the ribbon.

I hope you all had a great day! Enjoy life!!!!

Birthday cake #2

Another birthday another chance to make a birthday cake. This time a little bit more of pink and a wide ribbon that has almost a wafel pattern and it's just perfect for this project. Other things are just preety much like on the first one. This time I also added the name with 3 dimentional color to make it like on real cakes.

Also this time I used a toy lamp to reproduce it in moulding compound and of course I kept the "make a wish" inscription.

I mailed the cake yesterday and I hope it will bring a smile on the face of this special birthday girl !!!! Happy birthday Polona!!!!

Birthday cake

As I promised I'm making this post about a birthday project and here we are: a scrapbook birthday cake. I made it for my super friend Katja and I was even more happy for her because she told me that this year she had other desserts but not a cake for birthday and this made the scrapbook cake even more appropriate, don't you think!?

This birthday madame is "filled" with puffy pom poms and satin ribon and has a glittery glaze on the top and instead of sugar roses there are obviously some Prima flowers.

If you are not new on my blog you'll certantly know that I love my projects to hide some kind of internal surprise. I just love surprises and I love making them even more! I self made a tiny Alladin lamp that will make her wishes come true.

I already know there will be other occassions to make similar presents and I have to say I enjoyed making it!

Have a nice day and....paper dreams to all!

Kian is 4!!!!

Yesterday was a big day because Kian tuned four!!!!! An important day with a great pirate party. The kids were enjoying the theme and parents could have a long chat because they were so into the pirates games. We made a cartboard ship and I painted it and put it in the garden with a pirate flag some garden net (for peas) for the boat net and Matej made the ship rudder out of an old bike wheel and thanks to the good weather the kids enjoyed it!!! We also had a treasure hunt and the kids found out a treasure chest filled with pirates coins, pirate chocolates and each young pireate fount in it a skull mini album that has to be completed with their names, photos and little pirate's special features and with the pirates rules - I'll probably make a post about it in the next days! Of course I had to make a pirate boat shaped cake too!
Kian was so happy and just had so much fun and I had so much fun watching him enjoying his bday party!!!
