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!

Tons of fun and bunch of cards!

Hello,

finally I found time to write the post. I have three cards to show....all different: oriental one, X-Mas one (I 'm warning you:  from now on,  in every post you will see my X-Mas "production") and summery one.


I start with the oriental one, I had so much fun to make it. Everything went so smooth, particularly the choice of design papers (sometimes I spent too much time only to choose right patterned papers)...
The inspiration came from Moxie Fab World, Tuesday Trigger-An Exercise in Exotic with this picture  and the sketch from i{heart}2stamps:
I could make only oriental cards and I wouldn't be bored....You can find some on my blog and even more in my drawer!

Next in the row is the summary card. I combined, as usally =), two challenges: The Play Date Cafe #43 and Card Patterns #78-I have to confess: I forgot the sentiment....I hope the jury will forgive me that =)))))):

The last card for today is a x-massy one. Last year I started making X-mas cards in August too and it wasn't too early. I send every year approximately 70 cards to the family and friends (all of them overseas!!!) and I'm proud of myself, because everyone gets a different card!
With this card I play the Taylored Expressions #125 and Color Throwndown (of course!!!) #106:

 I have to admit, I'm not happy with sewing on this card, but I promise that I will practice! I call it: happy accident, maybe there is someone in the blog-land and like such a chaotic sewing....

OK, enough for today, almost midnight....I need some sleep!

Take care,

Welcome to the world!/Witaj na swiecie!

Happy hellos,
due to my tiredness (my little guy is almost walking, he wants to "go" everywhere!!!), the post will be short, but with a card for a special person: a new baby girl of my friend Karina! The little princess was born at the beginning of August with some health issues. I hope, she will be better soon. I can imagine, that she is as strong as her mom! Good luck girls-I'm thinking of you!

Z powodu mojego zmeczenia (moj Kubus prawie chodzi sam, teraz chce "isc" wszedzie, gdzie go nozki poniosa!!!), ten post bedzie krotki, ale szczegolny, poniewaz kartka jest dla specjalnej osobki: nowonarodzonej coreczki mojej przyjaciolki z dziecinstwa Kariny! Mala ksiezniczka przyszla na swiat na poczatku sierpnia, niestety z pewnymi problemami zdrowotnymi. Mam nadzieje, ze Malutka bedzie zdrowiec. Moge sobie wyobrazic, ze jest ona tak samo silna jak jej Mama! Zycze Wam obydwu szczescia-jestem z Wami myslami!


The card is meant for two challenges:
Ta kartka bierze udzial w dwoch wyzwaniach:
 

I was inspired by very talented Polish woman Agnieszka, who is doing amazing stuff, particularly I like her projects for children. Check her blog, you won't regret: honey for the eyes and soul-I promise!

Zainspirowala mnie pewna Polka, bardzo utalentowana osoba - Agnieszka, ktora robi przepiekne rzeczy. Najbardziej lubie te dla dzieci. Zobacz jej blog, nie pozalujesz: miod dla oczu i duszy-obiecuje!

Please take a look to the card for the little princess (I don't know her name yet, I only got the message, she is born):

Prosze rzuc okiem na moja kartke, dla malej ksiezniczki (jeszcze nie znam jej imienia, otrzymalam tylko wiadomosc o jej narodzinach):

As I said few days ago: I try to minimize the busyness of my cards-I feel good with that, at least for a while! I hope, you like it, despite less embellishments etc.

Jak wspomnialam wczesniej, probuje nie przeladowywac ostatnio moich kartek ozdobkami-jakos sie lepiej czuje z tym, chocby na chwile. Mam nadzieje jednak, ze mimo wszystko sie Wam podoba.


Ciao,
kANNAdyjka

1st X-Mas card made!/Pierwsza kartka swiateczna zrobiona!

Happy hellos (I love this expression, so positive...),
as promised X-Mas production started this weekend in my "studio". I used unconventional colors for the card, according to The Play Date Cafe challenge #42.
For the real fans of X-Mas I also prepared card in the X-massy colors, using sketch from Clean & Simple #103 also for this card.

Hello,
jak obiecalam produkcja kartek swiatecznych rozpoczeta w moim "studio". Uzylam do tego niekonwencjonalnych kolorow wedlug The Play Date Cafe challenge #42. 
Dla prawdziwych fanow Swiat przygotowalam takze kartke w prawdziwych kolorach swiatecznych, takze wedlug sketchu Simple & Clean #103.


I was crafting yesterday until after midnight, therefore you can see one more card in this post for the Card Pattern #77 challenge and Color Throwndown challenge # 105.

Wczoraj kraftowalam do pozna w nocy, dlatego tez macie szanse zobaczyc jeszcze jedna kartke wedlug Card Pattern # 77 challenge i Color Throwndown challenge # 105.



Now I have to leave the blogland, because we are going to the small ZOO with farm animals in the neighborhood. Jakob loves to feed the donkeys and to pull the bunnies ears. Of course, he shouldn't do that, but he is learning right now the word: "gentle" =)

Teraz musze opuscic blogolandie, bo idziemy do malego ZOO  w sasiednim miasteczku. Jakob uwielbia karmic osiolki i ciagnac kroliki za uszy. Oczywiscie nie powiennien tego robic, ale Maly wlasnie sie uczy slowa: "delikatnie".=)

Take care and thanks for your visit,

ART-ichokes/ Karczochy

Happy hellos,
I decided to try to make a simple card. Not that easy-I tell ya that! I need a rest from everyday' busyness.  I used my favorite stamp with artichoke....such a interesting veggie. I tell you why:

zdecydowalam sie na zrobienie prostej kartki. Nie takie latwe jakby sie wydawalo. Chyba potrzebuje odpoczynku od lataniny...
Uzylam do tej kartki ulubionego stempla z karczochem...ach coz za interesujace warzywko. Juz mowie dlaczego...

Once when I was teenager I have seen a movie (unfortunately I don't remember the title-if you know, please write me a comment to this post), and I remember only one scene of it:  a woman giving birth (probably 19th century, maybe beginning of the 20th). The scenes of her effort during labor and artichoke bud opening in the time lapse. Every time when I see an artichoke, I have to think about it. Guess what I was thinking of, when I was in labor =)

Gdy bylam piekna i mloda, widzialam film (niestety nie pamitam tytulu, jesli ktos z Was wie o ktory chodzi, piszcie w komentarzu!), i zapamietalam z niego jedna jedyna scene: rodzacaca kobiete (przelom XIX / XX wieku). Dwie scene byly pokazywane jednoczesnie: ona w bolach porodu i dojrzewanie karczocha pokazane w przespieszonym tempie. Za kazdym razem gdy widze karczochy, przypomina mi sie ta scena. Zgadnijcie o czym myslalam w czasie porodu mojego synka =)

I play in two challenges with this card:
Kartka gra w dwoch wyzwaniach:





Probably you will see in the next days more of simplified cards. And don't forget: X-Mas production is starting this weekend in my "studio". I have some plans.......

Prawdopodnie bedziecie widziec w nastepnych dniach pare takich prostych kartek. I nie zpaomnijcie, produkcja kartek swiatecznych zaczyna sie u mnie w "studio" w ten weekend. Mam mianowice pewien plan z nimi.....

Take care,

Computer issues/Problemy z kompem

....I think, I'm not the only one, who hates to have issues with the computer. My computer admin (my hubby=)))) had to install Windows again! Because still renovating, it took time...Anyway I'm back...!! I missed some challenges, but I will survive!

-Color Throwndown #104 with summer colors and I used the beautiful design papers from Webster's Pages:

-the Polish challenge Kartki #17: Three times-I used 3D, 3 times the same stamp in different spot, 3 kinds of embellies, 3 sizes of nesties

The other card tonight is for the challenges:
-The Play Date Cafe Challenge #41












-Waltzing Mouse #9

Thanks for visiting and have a fruitful week,
