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!

Sweetness /Slodkosci

Hello,

I REALLY like photo inspiration challenges like this from Caardvarks, for example:

When I saw it, I knew exactly which paper I will use: Basic Grey. Well, it was not easy though, because the pastel colors are kind of my weakness. I usually like heavy, darker papers: old olive, brown, dark red. But it's called challenge, right! Then-let's craft!
I used the sketch from JUG #23 and below you can see my take of those challenges.

For me the style is almost too sweet, but it has to be, because the card is for a sweet person =).......
Her name is Clio and she is one of the 3 girls, I took care of, when I was Au-pair 13 years ago...O my Gosh..... I think, I calculated wrong....No.... that's true, 13 years ago! She is turning 15 in few days! When I came to the Au-pair family, Clio was 1,5 y.o. and we have a lot of fun together. I hope to see her soon again!
I remember as a good-bye gift she drew for me a picture with my face. On the face there were a lot of dots. I asked her what she meant with that. She said they are my pimples. And indeed: I suffered from acne many years. Children are so honest, right?

A propos children: Jakob was playing yesterday with a kitchen plastic bowl for almost an hour, giggling including. I recorded a lot of short movies. I can't believe, how kids are interested in such a simple things instead of fancy toys.  The best toys are the simplest!

Take care,
kANNAdyjka

    A co do dzieciecych zabaw - rozumiem fascynacje Jakoba w 100% :))Zuzia miala faze na łyzki kuchenne, takie duze, do nalewania zupy. Jedną nawet kilka razy zabrala ze soba na spacer i dumnie wywijała nią, jadąc w wózku. To dopiero sie ludzie dzwili... :)
