Božić za pamćenje

Posljednja za ovaj Božić... Pinku drugačija od prethodnih, ali ipak nekako u istim tonovima. ... Sličnim, barem? Ova mala vila u meni uvijek budi strah. Strah od tanašnih udova i strah od razlijevanja crvene tinte mac van linija. Ovo su bile zadnje božićne zvijezde na zalihi - nisam vjerovala da ću uspjeti ijednu božićnu čestitku ove godine napraviti bez kupovanja novih ukrasa. Ali, eto, iznenadila sam samu sebe. :)
Božić se bliži, nema vremena za razglabanja i filozofiranja - treba očistiti kuću, ispeći kolače, zamotati poklone i zato... Pozdrav do iduće godine!

Sretan vam svima Božić i Nova 2018. godina!

Hark! The Herald Angels sing

Here we go again... 😁 'Mama.' 'Reci, ljubavi?' 'Šta si ovo napravila? Ove tri čestitke su ti iste. A rekla si da ti radiš samo unikate.' - moja kći, naravno. Ali ona ne zna da je sve to s razlogom. Sve zato da pašu uz poklone. Crveno-crne poklone s crvenim i crnim ukrasima. Namjerno. Za tri posebne osobe. Kartoline su jednake, jer su mi jednako važne u životu i izuzetno cijenim njihovo prijateljstvo. Ali su i različite, jer su i one totalno različite osobe. Svaka od njih stvarno je posebna, a tako sam im birala i poklone. Duboka, bogata, topla crvena na tamnoj noćnoj pozadini. Znate na koji film me podsjeća? 'Ljubav zapravo'. Odličan, zabavan film.... Mogla bi ga pogledati opet. 😉
Enough said - predstavljam vam Brynn kao posljednju iz tria!

Deck The Halls

Nakon Flynna, koji je otvorio sezonu. stiže na red i slatka Wynn! Da... dio je nečeg. Oboje su, točnije. Iako se to mojoj kćeri baš i nije svidjelo (o tome više u idućem postu), meni jest - ova kombinacija, ova ideja. Uskoro ćete vidjeti zašto. 😉
Ovog sam Božića htjela nešto novo. Koliko god da volim sve one stare ilustracijesve me vuklo ka nekoj promjeni.  koje sam već toliko puta obojila (i ponovno bih), sve me vuklo ka nekoj promjeni. Na kraju krajeva, Djedice, bila sam jako dobra curica i gotovo ništa nisam čitave ove godine potrošila na kupnju novog materijala. Ne znam, jesam li išta uopće! Koristila sam razne ostatke, sve iz 'arhive', kombinirala, divila se sama sebi kada bi uspjela... Mislim da sam zaslužila nekoliko novih ilustracija. 😀
Anyways - nemam samu kartolinu što danas puno objašnjavati, a danima se nisam naspavala kako treba, pa vas sad svih pozdravljam do idućeg posta!

Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful

Volim ove stare božićne tradicionalne pjesme i taj jezik... Gotovo koliko i kombinaciju hladne crne sa vrućom crvenom. Ne znam otkud taj moja nagla opsjednutost crvenom bojom, ali ne nestaje. I ne smeta mi. 😊 Crveni ruž, crvena olovka za oči, crveni novi kaput, crveni šal i kapa, crveni nokti, crvena majica, crvena udobna dekica... Osjećam se tako lijepo okružena crvenom, obučena u crveno. Predivna topla boja koja me grije...
Možda će neki reći da je crna prejaki kontrast ovdje, ali meni baš tako paše, jer odražava sve što se vrti trenutno u meni - neke teške misli zbog kojih pretjerano filozofiram danima i puna kanta ljubavi koju još mogu dati.
Inače i nije moj stil pri kraju bojanja dubinu pojačavati crnom, ali osjećala sam potrebu pa sam probala po uzoru na neke velike koloristice u ovom svijetu od kojih moram izdvojiti Francescu (Franz). I sviđa mi se kako je ispalo! Ali i dalje volim i mekše tonove kojima sam dosad bila vjerna, a vidim da im se i ona nekako u zadnje vrijeme okreće. 😉 Eksperimentirati i gurati sebe izvan udobne zone je fora i neopterećujuće... Preporučam i otvaram kratku božićnu seriju na ovom blogu!

Dok svi spavaju...

Recimo da su pripreme za Božić pri kraju, iako slutim da je to daleko od istine, pa da objavimo i zadnju kartolinu za ovu 2016. godinu. Jaki kontrast, nasmijano lice, vesela zvonca, božićne boje i sjaj. To je to za kraj, ne? Dugo nisam die-cuttala na način da dio ilustracije izlazi van okvira, pa mi je trebalo dok se nisam podsjetila, ali mislim da je vrijedilo.
Ovaj je malac baš veseo i ja sam bila skupa s njim, jer se niti jednom crvena boja nije prolila - woo-hoo! :) Ali bojala sam se da bi crna pozadina mogla biti too much za božićnu čestitku. Non the less, iskoristila sam ga jer mi se činilo da izgleda cool. Podsjeća me na kredom ispisane ploče ispred kafića koji te pozivaju da uđeš na toplo piće i skloniš se sa hladnih ulica u toplo, ukrašeno veselim blagdanskim ukrasima. Znate na što mislim?
Bilo kako bilo, eto moje posljednje za ovu godinu. Želim Vam sev najbolje za Božić i nadolazeću Novu Godinu. Vidimo se 2017.! :)

Božićna zvjezdica

Pa neka bude i jedna ružičasta! Pa šta? Glavno da se šljašti. Da, jesam, riječ sam pokupila iz crtića Wreck-It Ralph i odonda mi ne ide iz glave. :)
Zadovoljna sam kako je ispala ova kartolina, iako nisu tradicionalne božićne boje na njoj, a najviše od svega mi se sviđa kako je ispala haljina. I to što sam iskoristila ovu čudnovatu pahulju, koju sam, vjerovali ili ne, davno slučajno pronašla. Najveći mi je bad bio kad sam ostala bez mini perlica kojima sam zamjenjivala dosadne žute tučke ovim božićnim zvijezdama. Ali - kako se sve ionako već šljaštilo, dobila sam ideju da upotrijebim kristaliće, koji ionako besposleno čuče u mojoj kutijici s tričarijama. I eto vam moje predzadnje božićne čestitke: lagane, vedre, smrznute, šljašteće i zveckajuće (praporac)! :)

Birch & co. ... (opet)

Birch & co. na okupu! Zveckajuće privjesnice za poklone neobičnog formata (cca 8 x 14 cm) odnijele su nekoliko sati terapijskog bojanja, :), donijele puno zabave i nešto muke prilikom osmišljavanja i pečatiranja pozadine s ograničenim sredstvima... Kad već nemaš SVE pečate iz dućana koje bi htio, snađi se druže s onim što imaš, zar ne? Ispečatirati šumicu iza Bircha bio je najveći izazov!

Nisam htjela pretjerivati s detaljima, tek malo trake i viti sa zvončićem, koji je jednostavno neizostavan kod božićnih projekata kao i glitter. :) I, naravno, sve u tradicionalnim božićnim i zimskim bojama.

Svi su tu: Birch, Silver, Winterberry... Obitelji su se nedavno pridružili i Flora i Holly, ali tek nakon što su ove bile gotove. U svakom slučaju, čuvam ih za nešto posebno... :) Uskoro!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...

Dame i gospodo, Birchev najbolji prijatelj - Silver i moje prve privjesnice u životu! Stvarno ne znam zašto to nisam nikad dosad... Nepojmljivo. ... Uglavnom, ovo su definitivno moji favoriti ove godine - slatki, mini, veseli - stanu ti na dlan i još zveckaju! Mislim... Meni neodoljivo. A još kada naštancate cijeli zbor! :) :) :)

U našoj se kući božićno vrijeme tako jasno očituje podom prekrivenim šljokicama i zveckanjem praporaca kada ja krenem na kreativnu terapiju. :)

Veseli Birch

Došlo je vrijeme za veselo božićno štancanje! :) A boljeg prijatelja od Bircha za to nisam mogla poželjeti, zar ne? Ovaj medenjak potpisuje Stacey Yacula, čije pečate možete kupiti u novootkrivenom Purple Onion Designs shopu. ;)
Ovo su mini kartoline od kraft papira, koje su predugo stajale u mojoj zalihi čisto iz straha da neću znati obojati motiv dobro na takvoj podlozi svojim markerima. Teška greška, konačno ispravljena! :)
S guštom sam pretjerala s

Izradila sam ih kao osobni dodatak uz božićne poklone za obitelj (ne smijem još otkriti što su točno, ali samo ću reći da su domaće izrade i mljac!).
