Csabi's Album

In my previous post I promised to show you the matching album I'd made for our little godson's 1st birthday... well, practically I gave it to his mother but I was sure he'd also appreciate it a few years later. :-)

He is so, sooooo cute! I really didn't need to embellish these little pages any more.

I got the album itself as a gift from Scrapfellow. If I remember correctly, I bought the enamel dots, the brown alphabet and patterned papers from them, too. The little detail stamps are from various Lawn Fawn and PaperSmooches sets. I painted the back page with some Martha Stewart acrylic paint. The blue foam letters are from Müller. :-)

And since it's full of patterned papers, I'm linking this one to Virginia's View Challenge #7, too.

Flower Framed

This card was pretty simple to create with a PaperSmooches set. Obviously, I'm entering this into their current Anything Goes challenge. :) I put a Post-it note in the middle and started to stamp with each stamp in each colours. I tried to keep their balance though so I paid attention where I stamped in which colour.

Then I decided to put a leaf as a feather in the middle and heat embossed it on gold.

I wasn't sure about the sentiment for a long time. The card was sitting on my shelf for ages. Then I really needed a birthday card for my aunt and suddenly I knew exactly how I should finish it. I grabbed my red alphabet stickers (from Basic Gray I think), put them on my ruler and to mix it up a little I put on there a capital letter as the second letter and glued them on. To give it its final shine I put some glossy accent on each letter.

I'm also entering this into Simon Says Stamp's Emboss It challange.

Warm

This was something experimental. Sticker on cardstock decorated with white gel pen, glossy accent, Xmas red stickles and white acrylic paint.

I'll be back tomorrow with my favourite card for this year. :-)

Challenge: Keep it simple #29 - warm

Thanks for looking!

Bday Card for Grandpa

The basic idea was that I have to make a card for my grandpa's bday next week as I'll be abroad at the time. It also had to have a smile... that turned out to be green...and interactive!

On this day... 

...you have every right to smile!

Random Post

I made these last weekend too. The first one is decorated with an SRM sticker and some distress ink, it used to hold caviar, now I store my tiny googly eyes in it.

Ezeket is múlt hétvégén készítettem. A kis tárolót SRM matricával és egy kis distress tintával díszítettem. Kaviáros üveg volt, most a pici rezgőszemeket tárolom benne. :))

And this one I made after seeing Julie Ebersole's very similar card. I just couldn't resist.
Ezt pedig a fent nevezett blogon láttam, és annyira megtetszett, hogy muszáj volt vmi nagyon hasonlót csinálnom.

Supplies: SRM sticker, green baker's twine from The Twinery, yellow twine from We R Memory Keepers, washi tape, Tsukineko silver ink, star sequins, acetate, red and blue ColorBox pigment inks, Paper Smooches -Alpha-dot stamp set

Have a nice weekend!

Jó hétvégét mindenkinek! :)

Cameling Soon

First the big news: I was a Featured Player with my hippo card of the previous Paper Smooches challenge. Wooohooo! This is the first little 'official' acknowledgement for me. :)

Well it's not that far away, is it? It's usually August when most Hungarian families go on holiday because it's near 4O C outside and because we have lots of rain in July.

This is my next calendar page. I still have to make the pages for the rest of the year. :))
Challenge: Simon Says Stamp - Use An Arrow

And yes, I'm not even sure if that word pun should be written with double 'l' or not. Sorry for that! :)

Supplies: SRM - calendar stickers, Paper Smooches - Zoo Crew and Alpha-dot set, Bo Bunny papers, Simon Says Stamp - Shelter From The Storm set, HA - Butter dye ink, ColorBox - red pigment ink, Memento - brown ink, Tim Holtz - Scattered Straw distress ink

Calendar Pages 2

This is my first post today, please also check out my gift box with a pin wheel.

Yes, I'm quite slow.... but at least they are ready. :)

You can find January and February here.

I'd like to enter the April page into Simon's Let's Get Paper Piercing challenge.
And I'd like to enter the May page into CAS-ual Fridays' Make Your Mark challenge (the tree is coloured with Copics).

Supplies: SRM stickers, Konnichiwa stamp set (HA&BG), Sunnier Days stamp set (Simon Says Stamp), Critters Down Under (Lawn Fawn), Geo-Graphic (Paper Smooches), Tuxedo black (Memento ink), Tide Pool/Raspberry Jam/Butter Bar (Hero Arts midtone ink), Red/pink/yellow ink (ColorBox), liquid pearl pen, Sweet Days 6x6 pad (Echo Park)

Calendar - January and February

These are the first 2 months that I created from Virginia's SRM stickers (plus a piece of the cardstock she secured the envelope with - quite unnoticable ;-).

Nearly everything on them is new in my stash. I got the washi tape with birds and the EK Success border punch from my little bro for Xmas - he's so cool! The lamp on the February card is also from my new HA - Konnichiwa set and I haven't used it yet. I like it so much that it has flowers on it. I tried to make these months as happy as possible because for me they are the longest and greyest months of the year but I still like them. :)

I'd like to enter them into following challenges - I hope they count though they're not cards :)
