Veseli mali Božić

I posljednja u nizu Sugar Nellie groznice. Uvijek se iznenadim kad uspijem iskoristiti neki papir koji je već bio na putu do smeća, jer me beskrajno nervirao svojom bezveznošću i neuklapanjem nigdje. Divno sročeno, znam, ali podnesite me, jer mi sad već kronično nedostaje sna.
Božić mi se prišuljava, a ja sam ponovno neorganizirana, utopijski raspoložena uz prevelike 'to do' liste koje me deprimiraju. Znam ja posložiti prioritete, ali su one stvari koje nisu hitne uvijek nekako zabavnije. I lakše za obaviti. Eto, recimo, lakše je sada tipkati nego peglati. Mrzim peglanje. A u tim listama tako se lako izgubiti i ne računati na sve. Jutros kada su mi spomenuli zornice, totalno sam se izbezumila! Zar već? I opet nisam išla? ...
A vi? Jeste li vi spremni za Božić?

Zlatni pir

Oh, taj vintage feeling... I Stempelglede's. Frantageiranje i embosiranje nakon duuuugo vremena, miješanje pastelnih boja i tonova, kao i raznih vrsta cvijeća. Pa malo die-cutinga  i čipke za kraj! Ovo je stvarno bilo dosta brzo gotovo. :) A i jako davno gotovo. Što znači da iz posta u post ja imam sve manje i manje stvari za napisati. :) :) :)
Ponovno muku mučim nekim starim zalihama, brigom oko nekih stvari kojih mi je ponestalo, a rado bi ih naručila ponovno. Uf, zašto to mora biti tako skupo? E onda opet, taj osjećaj kad te pritisnu da izradiš neku čestitku a nemaš od čega. Pa doslovno od nikud izvučeš neki papir za koji si bila uvjerena da ga nikad, nigdje nećeš imati prilike upotrijebiti, te da ti treba još najmanje 6 blokova raznoraznih uzoraka, iskombiniraš s nekima koji su iste sudbine kao i on... Da ne spominjem cvijeće, probrano, ostaci ostataka koji odjednom savršeno sjednu zajedno baš sad? Svaki me put to iznenadi. Zadivi. E, to ja zovem iskušavanjem prave kreativnosti. :)

You could be mine II i roze starke

Ponovno starke. A zašto ne? Baš su cool za još jedan mini tag album povodom vjenčanja. Stvarno uživam u stvaranju ovih, a kako sam pomalo rock chick, ova tema mi je dobro sjela. 
Inače ovo je bio prvi album koji sam izradila i nisam bila zadovoljna njime u prvobitnom izdanju. No onda sam promijenila naslovnicu, dodala fotku s rozim starkama i to je bilo to - sad je ok. :)  
Svaka rock & roll cura voli i šljokice. Ipak smo cure, pa ni ovog puta nije išlo bez džepića punog veselja. A da se suprotnosti privlače znamo svi - zato je tu čipka uz starke. Pa malo metala...
Nije loša kombinacija, je l' da?
Ali kad te krene, a i ne ispada loše, zašto stati? I tako je nastalo još 4 mini tag albuma za vjenčanja iz You could be mine kolekcije. Meni su ove stvari preslatke zbog veličine, sitnih detalja, ali i funkcionalnosti. Nadam se da ću imati prilike izraditi ih još.

Kakva majka, takva kći...

Eto, još nešto po prvi put! Rođendanski mini album za mamu i kćer! Fora, je l' da? Kako bi mi bilo dosadno, kad mi ponekad ne bi stizali zanimljivi upiti sa zanimljivim idejama iz kojih se zajedničkim mozganjem dolazi do ovakvih fora ideja... Ah...

Moram priznati da sam se dobro odmorila protekla dva mjeseca i osjećam se super. Tek sad vidim koliko mi je pauza bila nužno potrebna. 
Smiješno mi je kad shvatim koliko mi zapravo ova zabrana kupovanja novih stvarčica otvara kreativnost. Skužiš koliko toga redovito preskačeš u odabiru detalja, koje divne papire zaobilaziš i ukrase ignoriraš. Strahota! A onda se malo više potrudiš (puuuuuuno sati više potrudiš), pa staneš i gledaš... Zadovoljan skroz gotovim proizvodom. :) Ma, neopisiv osjećaj... Dajte mi još!
Ovi mini albumi uzimaju mi puno više vremena, jer svaki papir prošivam ručno, a punjenje paketića veselja, kako ih ja zovem, najdraži mi je dio. Nadam se da ću imati još prilike raditi na ovakvim projektima...
Nije me bilo gotovo dva mjeseca i stvarno sam se dobro odmorila. Sad je vrijeme da vidim što sam sve propustila (ne znam otkud početi!) i započnem sa novim radovima. :)

Vintage proljeće - je li moguće?

Iako vintage stil vežem uz nešto što već dugo nisam radila, te uz prigušene boje, odlučila sam pokušati spojiti ga s elementima shabby chica u ove proljetne dane, te se okušati ponovno s privjesnicama. I tako su nastale ove zgođušne stvarčice od raznoraznih zaboravljenih ostataka i ukrasa. Priznajem, nisam ih baš ovako zamišljala - imala sam skroz drugu ideju s embossiranim tekstom u prvom planu, no, kako to obično kod mene biva - nešto je pošlo po zlu. :) Nešto se dogodilo s Versa Markovim jastučićem. Ili embossing prahom. Heating toolom ili... Ili sa mnom. :) :) :) U svakom slučaju - ta je ideja pala u vodu, ali nisam još odustala od nje.

Grunge srce XI

Stempelglede Grunge Flourish Hearts pečati već dugo nisu bili na mojem repertoaru. ... Predugo. A činilo mi se da je baš ovaj pečat idealan za jednu starinsku, shabby kartolinu. A da se na tren odmorimo i od crvene i pink boje kojima sam opčinjena u posljednje vrijeme išla sam na zlatno-plavičastu kombinaciju. Sviđa mi se. :) A ne znam kad sam posljednji put koristila ni čipku, perle... Trebala bi malo češće zaviriti u kutiju sa čudesima i obrisati prašinu sa nekih predmeta. :)
Tu su i neke zaboravljene vintage razglednice u pozadini, a filigranski okviri embossirani su istom mješavinom dvaju prahova - zlatnog i smeđeg, kao i srce.

Korišteno:
papir: First Edition Papers 6" x 6" Paper Pad - J'Adore, MME Heirloom  

pečati: Stempelglede Grunge Flourish Hearts, Lawn Fawn Riley's ABC's

metalurgija: privjesak ključić sa stare ogrlice, filigranski okvir

čipka i viti: Lillibet Lace Ribbons, Ivory Button Twine, Natural Button Twine,
Gold Sparkle Single Cord Hemp Twine from Lawn Fawn

cvijeće: WOC
 ostali ukrasi: perle iz zalihe 
tinte i embossing prah: Tsukineko Dew Drop Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate, TH Ranger Embossing powder Walnut Stain, Ranger GOLD
