Happy Hellos!


My name is Anna and I'm a Pole living recently in Airdrie (near Calgary in Canada), hopeless in love with paper. Usually sitting in my studio between 8pm and midnight, if my energy lasts that long after another day with a toddler Jakob and a baby Lisa. I love to share my crafts with you, please be my guest!

Confession of my challenge-holism


~~~~WITH THIS CARD BELOW I MADE ~~~~

CQC #40 colourQueen Courtiers...

 

Hi there,
today two cards, but quickly. There are some renovations going on in my house, so everything chaotic and dusty......
Today I play a challenges of course ColourQ #42 and Mojo #148.
I had the set of stamps for a long time and don't use a lot, but I love it, but....kind of difficult to use: doesn't match every occasion.

 
The second card for today's post will be entered for the challenges: as usual Play Date Cafe #39
and NEW one Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #122 (another consequence of my "challengeholism").



Take care and see you soon,

My favorite method: 2 in 1!/Moja ulubiona metoda: 2 w 1!

Hello again on the same day (to be precise-evening),
Hello ponownie w ten sam dzien (a raczej wieczor),

This is my favorite method to participate in the challenges: combining a color challenge and a sketch challenge-so much fun!!!! Today again: JUGs #42 (Orange, Navy, Green and Cream) meets Card Patterns #73 with the following sketch.
Oto moja ulubiona metoda bawienia sie w wyzwania: laczenie wyzwania kolorow z wyzwanie mapkowym-ale jest wtedy zabawy!!! Dzisiaj znowu jestem w swoim zywiole:  JUGs #42 (pomarancz, ciemnoniebieski, zielony i kremowy) spotkalo sie z Card Patterns #73 ze sketchem po prawej.

When I got my new goodies from SU!-I couldn't stop to play with the stamps of veggies for example the artichoke. It simple cute and .... tasty! No, no...not the stamp the veggie artichoke itself!
Guess what I used for the card???? The artichoke stamp!!! Love it, love it,  love it!!!

Ostatnio jak dostalam w rece moje nowe zabawki ze Stamping Up! nie moglam przestac sie bawic stemplami z warzywkami, np. z karczochem. Poprostu przepiekny i.... smaczny! Nie, nie...nie stempel, samo warzywko!
Zgadnij co wykorzystal w tej kartce?No wlasnie stempel z karczochem!!! Uiwelbiam, uwielbiam i jeszcze raz uwielbiam!

Don't you think, I make a lot of food related cards lately? I think, that's the season: tones of fresh fruit!
Nie sadzicie, ze ostatnio cos sie lubuje w kartkach zwiazanymi z jedzeniem? Mysle, ze to wynik takiego sezonu: tony swirzych owocow wokol nas!



Thanks for your visit,
Dziekuje za wizyte,

Scrapujace Polki-great Polish challenges!

My dear visitor!

I'm very glad to find a great Polish forum: Polki scrapuja with a lot of interesting challenges. I tried one of them-SCRAP #62 "Clean and Simple" - I couldn't resist, but also it was a real challenge for me. To create something simple and nice is not always easy. I also used colors, I don't usually work with: blue, red & white. I had to use these colors matching Jakob's pants on the picture.

Jestem bardzo zadowolona, ze znalazlam swietny ning: Polki scrapuja z wieloma interesujacymi wyzwaniami. Sprobowalam jednego: SCRAP #62 "Clean and Simple"-nie moglam sie powstrzymac,ale tez musze przyznac, ze to wyzwanie nie bylo wcale takie proste. Stworzyc cos prostego i milego dla oka, nie zawsze jest takie proste. Uzylam w tym scrapie kolorow, za ktorymi raczej nie przepadam i nie uzywam: niebieski, czerwony i bialy. Ale musialam uzyc tych kolorow tym razem ze wzgledu na wzor spodenek mojego synusia.

Voila-that's the result, oto wynik:

Lupines & PEI/Lupiny i Wyspa Ksiecia Edwarda

Hi,
I had to play the Play Date Cafe challenge#38, when I saw the lupine picture and the beautiful colors. I'm a big fun of lupines and they remind me of Prince Edward Island in Canada-my favorite place, because of.... Anne of Green Gables! This book was my bible when I was a young girl.
No i musialam uczestniczyc w tym wyzwaniu #38, jak zobaczylam lupiny na zdjeciu i te boskie kolorki. Jestem wielka fanka lupinow  i one przypominaja mi Wyspe Ksiecia Edwarda w Kanadzie-moje ulubione miejsce z powodu Ani z Zielonego Wzgorza.

~~~~WITH THIS SCRAPBOOK PAGE I WAS~~~~
"CREAM IN OUR COFFEE" AT THE PLAY DATE CAFE CHALLENGE



I remember: I was on vacation and spent all my weekly pocket money for the whole series of Anne of Green Gables. A person who took care of us, was shocked and annoyed, but my mom wasn't, she was proud o me, what I did and gave me extra pocket money for ice cream and stuff.
Pamietam jak podczas wakacji wydalam cale tygodniowe kieszonkowe na ladne wydanie calej serii Ani z Zielonego Wzgorza. Nasz opiekun byl zszkowany i zirytowany moim postepowaniem, natomiast moja mama wcale. Ona byla ze mnie dumna i uzupelnila mi kieszonkowe na reszte tygodnia. 



Greetings for all bloggers, particularly from PEI,
Pozdrowienia dla wszystkich blogerow a szczegolnie tych z PEI,

Pink, pink, pink!/Rozowo mi!

Hello hello!

As my title of the post is saying today, you will have a feeling by reading my post, you are wearing pink sun glasses.  I made 2 cards in pink: the inspiration color from colorQ, which is my favorite one ;)-->my card was honored at the last challenge (see the badge on my blog on left side).
Jak mowi tytul mojego dzisiejszego posta, podczas ogladania kartek bedziesz miala wrazenie, ze ma na nosie okulary z rozowymi szkielkami. Przygotowalam 2 kartki na rozowo: inspiracja z bloga colorQ, ktory jest ostanio moim ulubionym;)--> moja kartka zostala wyroziniona podczas ostatniego wyzwania (zobacz odznake na moim blogu po lewej stronie).
The sketch is coming from Mojo Monday #147. One of the card I screw the sketch a little bit: I forgot to cut the main picture in 4 pieces, because I was chatting with my girl friend on the phone during I was making the card.....Uppps! I still like the card, I used my favorite stamps from Stampers Anonymous. I hope, you like it too.
Sketch wziety z Mojo Monday #147. Jedna z dzisiejszych kartek nie bardzo pasuje do ich sketchu, bo zapomnialo mi sie i nie przecialam obrazka na cztery czesci, poniewaz nadawalam przez telefon z moja przyjaciolka podczas gdy robilam ta kartke, uppps! Wydaje mi sie ta kartka mimo wszytsko niezla , uzylam do nije mojego ulubione stempelki Stampers Anonymous. Mam  nadzieje, ze tez Wam sie ta nieszczesna kartka podoba.

I decided to make other card with the sketch from Mojo Monday (I love their sketches!) and that's the result! This time with my new goodies from SU!
Mimo wszystko postanowilam zrobic druga kartke wg sketchu Mojo (uwielbiam ich sketche), tym razem nie zapominajac o niczym i to jest wynik! Tym razem uzylam moich nowych pieknosci stempelkowych z Stamping Up!


See you soon!

I can't believe it!!!!/Nie moge uwierzyc!!!

Hello everyone everywhere!
I can't believe it-my other card was mentioned on colorQ challenge blog as this week's colourQ Courtiers. I'm a proud owner of a badge (see on the left side of my blog). So much recognition in 2 weeks-unbelievable!!! Thanks a lot!

Czesc wszystkim, 
nie moge uwierzyc-jeszcze jedna moja kartka zostala wyrozniona na wyzwaniu colorQ w tym tygodniu. Jestem teraz dumna posiadaczka ich odznaczenia (spojrz prosze po lewej stronie na moim blogu). Tyle uznania w ciagu tylko 2-och tygodni.


Today I like to show you an experiment (totally not my usual style): I made a really sweet card, almost to sweet in my opinion, but I still think, it has something! I entered this card for a Polish challenge: card lift #16. Please take a look at my interpretation.

Dzisiaj chcialabym pokazac Wam kartke-eksperyment (totalnie nie w moim stylu): Zrobilam bardzo przeslodzona kartke, nawet za bardzo, ale mimo wszytsko ona cos w sobie ma! Kartka jest ta zrobiona na polskie wyzwanie: card lift #16. Oto moja interpretacja:

Take care,

Do zobaczenia,

Yummy challenge Part 2/Smakowite wyzwanie Czesc 2

Hello from the hot Okanagan Valley,
as promised I made a card with herbs, another yummy part of the summer. My favorite is basil! As a big fan of Pesto, in summer only home made. My basil is growing nicely and is on our menu on Friday next week-I can't wait!
Tomorrow my good friend Ateret will receive this card with best wishes for a good season. She is running a Kitchenette (what a gorgeous and original name for a place to eat) next to their winery Silk Scarf. 
If you are visiting Okanagan Valley, BC, you must to see and experience this place. Good wine, awesome view and food, you are not enjoying every day!

The card will be entered for the following challenges:
-Mojo 146
-Play Date Cafe Challenge 37

You will hear from soon,

Yummy challenge Part 1/Smakowite wyzwanie Czesc 1

Hello everyone,

I love summer, who doesn't, right? I love summer for all the fruit and herbs. I live close to Keremeos, BC, Canada and there you can't find better place to get fruit!
After I ate almost a kilo of fresh picked cherries in the last 2 days, the message from my belly was sent to my brain as an inspiration to make a card with some fruit, in this case strawberries. I used the JUG #40 sketch for the fruity card, which I also entered for the new challenge Cupcards (2Go) July Challenge:


Tomorrow yummy challenge part 2, this time herbs: basil, thyme....hmmmmm...
Quick note: welcome to my 9th! Follower-Laurel! She is an owner of a scrapbook (already my friend!) and lives in my area. She has a lot of goodies on her website and her service is EXCELLENT (she was visiting her friend in Keremeos and delivered me my order to my house)!!! I was looking long time for a good online store in my area and I found it. Check out her store, you won't regret, particularly if you live in BC (Laurel is from Osoyoos) or Canada.

Take care,
kANNAdyjka

I'm so happy, I could dance the whole night!/Przeszczesliwa!

Hello there,
Yesterday I was surprised by a post on Colorthrown Down: They honourably mentioned my card as "to feast your eyes on". After participating in so many challenges someone have seen my efforts-yupppppppppiii!
You can imagine how much inspiration I have right now. Therefore only short post today with some purses for 2 small ladies: Natalia and Zuzia. They celebrate their B'Days and they are younger than 5 y.o. =)))) I was inspired by Agnieszka-check her blog and amount of followers, no wonder-this girl is mega talented!

The following challenges are covered by this Fun cards:
-ColorQ #40 (: the 2nd purse)
-Shabby Tea Room #17: dry/wet embossing
-Colorthrown Down #100

~~~~WITH THIS CARD I MADE~~~~

CQC #40 colourQueen Courtiers...




I also show you a scrapbook page, I am not that happy with. I hope, Jakob will forgive me the pink color in his scrapbook, but sometimes I also have to play with pink 0)))))
This scrapbook page is for the challenge-Got Sketch #100.
Also the colors fits the Colorthrown Down #100.


Now I'm going for an hour to my "studio" and then to bed: I spend half a day on the beach with Jakob, it was amazing, but very active. I think, I'm tired, also from the sun, nice over 30 degrees Celsius.

Talk to you soon,
kANNAdyjka

Never happened before...

...I wrote two posts in one day/night;)  Well there is always the first time!
Please take a look to the card with my favorite design papers Webster's Pages. I always wanted to do something with this window. It reminds me somehow of  Europe, to be precise France....
I entered the card for the Color Throwdown challenge #99: cream-chocolate chip-turquoise (my definition of turquoise) and for the Crazy 4 Sketch C4C44, using ribbon-2 minimum (I can say no problem-I love to play with ribbon!). Also a new challenge: Papertake Weekly-in stitches.
If you haven't notice, this is a small innovation in my cards/scrapbook pages: I'm using the sewing machine!!! I just love the effect. This time the thread is a little bit bright for this card, but the whole card feels different-believe me!

~~~THIS CARD WAS MENTIONED ON~~~

I feel like stamping the whole night through, but I rather go to bed, because tomorrow morning at 6:30, with luck 7:30 my little guy wants his breakfast!

Good night,
kANNAdyjka

Red sand box/Czerwona piaskownica

Hi,
Good news: Jakob got finally his first sand box, even in red, matching our picnic table and the bench! His father did a great job!
I show you today two scrapbook pages, no with this new sandbox, but also great moments from Jakob's life. I promise, you will see the sandbox on the scrapbook page soon!

The first scrapbook page shows my cousin Marzenka and Jakob being silly. You can see, they found the same language immediately.

The sketch is from Mojo Monday 145, a little bit modified, but I hope, it's no biggie. It was a  lot of fun to work with as usual. The colors come from the Play Date Cafe challenge #36 with this colors:
Other scrapbook page is all about green, coming from City Crafter Challenge Blog and Splitcoaststamper challenge. BTW: the pictures on this page show why Jakob needed a sand box so desperately=)

That's all for today!
