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!

Mojo-come back!

Hello bloggers,

bad news for me: no mojo, a nasty cold, tiredness..... I just keep saying: it's temporary!

I tried to make a LO with the pictures of us: my son and me on the South African beach in the winter: between 15-20 degrees Cel, hahaha!. Great time!
The palette was very interesting, so I wanted to see how is it to make something with lack of inspiration with the great combo of colors. Honestly: the result is not that bad. My hubby said: I have seen better LOs of you.  Yes, I know, but sitting in my studio gives me also a balance and a new energy, doesn't matter how good the LO or card becomes. Even when I clean my desk only, I am happy in my little crafty corner!

I will enter the LO for the TCR #80 and Bird Is The Word challenge, with the title You & Me:


I hope, I didn't hurt your eyes ;)

Take care,

Organizing ribbons-mission accomplished!

Hi there,

EDIT: This LO below was featured on the Play Date Cafe Challenge blog, yupppi!!!

I don't know, who could pass on this challenge, but I could not: The Play Date Cafe #101 with these pictures as an inspiration. I knew immediately which picture has to be "framed". It was taken on my Birthday recently in a Caribbean Cafe Shop in Cape Town. The whole ambiente was inspiration enough for me, despite the cocktails on the menu.Well I couldn't drink them (I am breastfeeding right now, so the cocktails have to wait at least half a year!), but the atmosphere was delightful!


This is my interpretation-I hope, you like it!


I also found through Cathy Cafun the new monthly(!) scrapbooking blog, which I think, it's pretty cool and I can imagine to play there on regular basis: Kraft it up! 

This month you need to create a layout using one of the following styles...
* Monochromatic
* Minimalist
* Vintage/Romantic/Shabby Chic


Guess which one, I have chosen....???? Of course Vintage! I tried to make also a minimalistic LO, but I have to work on this techinique, there are so many fun things you can add to the LO.

Yesterday I promise you to show, how I organized my ribbons. What do you think? I have to say, that's the method until now, that works the best for me. I tried different kind of stuff, but this is the real McCoy! The three pretty glasses contained Jacob's instant coffee before. I have to drink more coffee now to have more of them to accommodate other colors ;)))) No problem with that, cause I confess, I am a coffee junky!!!



Now I have to run and learn French (my target during the maternity leave!)

Cheerio,

Mojo Monday #208

Hello,
after a big organizing project of my studio, mostly ribbons, (next time I promise pictures of the end effect),  I managed to make a card based on Mojo Monday #208 sketch. I did the rectangle shape though as you noticed, because I have 1000 ;0) envelopes in this shape and no square ones. 



Hope you like. Now I have to run, cause someone has to take control of the chaos here, hahaha!

 The sketches for the challenges look like this. I just say: endless possibilities. I keep the sketches in my "archive" ;0)

The Waltzingmouse at the Play Date Cafe

Hello my dear bloggers,

please take a look at the card, which I entered for the Waltzingmouse Sketch (#64) and the Play Date Cafe (#98) challenges:


 

I really like, how the card turned out, particularly the background.

Have a great rest of the week,

The messy Sketchy Thursday 9.8.

Hello,

you may wonder lately about my LOs, why they are so "messy". I am experimenting a little bit with my style right now ;0)

This LO is about Jakob pretending flying our Piper. He is a little pilot already! He sees everywhere airplanes and helicopters. That's his world!



I had a lot of fun with the Sketchy Thursdays Sketch 9.8 sketch, using my fave Basic Grey design papers:
