Starry Eyes

Hello!

Well, it seems like I don't have time at all for blogging... I made this layout 10 days ago and I still haven't had time to blog about it!

So this is a layout about my nephews big, big eyes which I really, really love!

The papers are from Simple Stories Hello Baby - I just loved the pastel colours.

The sketch is inspired by Scrap365 sketch challenge:

I hope you like it!

Hugs,

5 Years...

Hello!

I have a layout to show you that I actually finished last weekend but didn't have time to blog about it. It is about going back to the city where all the craft adventure started for me - Edinburgh.

Five years after I spent some time on that city where I discovered a book that made me fall in love with crochet and magazines that convinced that card making was a hobby I wanted to try, I went back to Edinburgh again. So I took some pictures of the bookshop where I bought the crochet book and the paper store where I bought my first paper craft supplies:

I added some small journaling on the photos which I printed with my very favourite Instax share and I decided to hide the rest of the journaling behind vellum paper and a vellum embellishment just to make it a bit more playful and balanced:

The sketch was inspired by Chic Tags July Sketch It Out sketch:

Hope you like it!

A dirty boy is a happy boy

Hello!

Today I have a layout for the Scraps N Pieces challenge Men like you - which means they only only to see males - females are forbidden!

We had recently been with my nephews and took tons of photos which I wanted to scrap, so I thought I should go for this challenge.

The result (the face is blurred after his parents' request):

Hope you like it!

Summer Lovin' for CAS-ual Fridays

Hello again!

Two days in a row! Looks like I'm finally getting my mojo back! (Hope I don't jinx it!)

So... after the card I made yesterday morning, I just wanted to make another one - my birthday cards stock is non-existent as well after so long without making cards. So last night I was looking for some inspiration online. As soon as I so the summer lovin' challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays, the idea came instantly. I mean, the challenge is to make a card with lots of hearts in summer colours... how can one not be inspired by such a challenge?

Here is the result:

So yes, I finally dusted off my big shot! And I used the super-delicious and happy "hello sunshine" paper pad from Lawn Fawn. I even took out my sewing machine just to sew the three hearts together and on purpose I left long tails which I used for extra effect behind the hearts.

And a close-up to see the hearts 3-D effect a bit better:

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making this card!

Hugs,
Anastasia

Happy Birthday Kylie!

Hello everyone!

Today I prepared a birthday card for wonderful Kylie, who was my "boss" over at Addicted to CAS. Although I haven't had the chance to meet her in person, from my months in ACAS I can say that she is a wonderful lady!

Loll has organised a linky party for Kylie and of course I couldn't miss it! So click here to see all the wonderful creations Kylie's friend have made for her.

So... HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE!!!!

Oh, I almost forgot my card ;)

Cheers,
Anastasia
