little precious

hello lovely friends!

i've decided to make one last post before my vacation:-)

this layout i made for my baby boy - THEO. i wanted to use only blue and green, but other colours have sneaked in as well:-)

i made the die cut paper myself - i punched the holes and cut the lace like edge. then I stitched the white square to create the spot for my pictures.

all the flowers are with glitter and ink.

the best part is that the little foot and hand prints are actually THEO's - from when he was just 1 month old.

thanks for stopping by!

have a lovely summer!

a lucky lucky week!!!

hello lovely friends:-)

it's been a lucky week for me! i won many unexpected prises and i'm very very veeery happy!!!

1. 1he first prise i won was a free day at the spa from karaci tours - the company we went to ISTANBUL with. we spent 3 amazing days in this marvelous city, but it was definitely not enough. there is so much to do and so many things to see. the history of the world in one city!! pictures are following shortly:-) 

at the end of the trip there was a lottery. the guide asked my little ELISE to help announce the winners and she drew my name:-) so, I'm going to get spoiled and have a wonderful day at the spa!

2. my second prise came from dvete elshi - my favourite bulgarian scrapbook store! i got the wonderful laurence llewelyn - bowen DVD - "crafting at home with" from their monthly lottery. may be because i'm a very loyal customer;-)

thank you rali and em!! i really enjoyed watching it!!

3. my third and final prise this week came from LEGO - no need for introduction here:-) we were chosen (me and my family) to be a part of the test group for the new LEGO minotaurus board game!!!  WOW!!! my daughter and hubby can't wait to get their hands on the box:-)

well, that was all for this week:-) i'm off to antalya, turkey for a 5* holiday next week, but I'll keep you posted;-)

all you need is...

hello lovely friends!

this is my first layout of me and my ROBERT:-) i was so busy with my kids, that i hardly noticed our pictures... but this one is one of my personal favourites. it was taken on our 1st wedding anniversary party (already 7 years ago:-).

for this project i used BO BUNNY persuasion collection, some PRIMA marketing flower leaves and of course MARTHA STEWARD big heart punch. i did stitching, stamping, glittering and every other possible thing to make this page look special and full with love (as we are:-)!

i used two little birdies for my flower centers:

i added glitter to MS hearts - they look so lovely: 

and some more glittery hearts;

thanks for stopping by!

have a scrappy day!

Pink vs. Blue

hello scrappy friends!

when i found out that my second child will be a boy, i started preparing a boyish room - everything in blue, jumping sheep, racing cars, etc.:-) of course i had to buy a completely new wardrobe for him, since he couldn't use the left overs from his sister. and when everything was finally ready... i just had to make these pictures!!! :-)

ELISE (my little girl) is the girlish girl ever. for her things are pink or they are not worth buying.  THEO - he is 9 months old and he doesn't really have an opinion (i can still buy his clothes without getting into trouble;-) and this is how i got the idea for this layout - pink vs. blue, girl vs. boy, sugar & spice vs. snips & snails:-)

i started with a white BAZZIL cardstock. i stamped the first border, stitched the second one, stamped the background and then i added the pictures and the embellishments.

i used DCWV nana's nursery paper line and die cuts:

the baby clothes i stamped and then coloured with copic ciao markers.

i hope you've enjoyed this post.

thank you for looking!

hugs 'n smiles,

Emmy

i love you deerly

hello scrappy friends!

finally i started on baby THEO's pictures. he is already 8 months old and this is the first layout i'm doing for him.

i used the amazing rita shimniok's sketch from BO BUNNY june sketch challenge.

when I bought this outfit for THEO i instantly knew the perfect paper line for his pictures - he is indeed a sweet little LOVE BANDIT! the adorable fawns, the little birdies and the other forest darlings captured me:-)

so, here is my take on this wonderful sketch with some close ups:

thanks for stopping by!

Cleaning up my closet

hello bloggers!

the last few days i’ve been cleaning/organising my crafty space... time consuming, but a very pleasant process... i still have a few boxes to go, but when i’m finally done i’ll post some pictures of my personal heaven on earth!

i just wanted to share my ‘vintage’ findings with you (not that they are really vintage, but i bought them such a long time ago).

1. fiskars shape templates – great for cards, small projects or even 30 x 30 pages. they’ve been really useful to me through the years.

2. bazzill Basics - "in stich'z collection" - stitching templates – great addition to every project!! easy to use with a broad range of beautiful designs.

3. ek success - fastenater decorative staple bars – they are perfect when it comes to attaching papers together, use as extra embellishments or even just to have them.

i hope that you’ll share with me what your long forgotten, but still treasured, findings are!!

have a nice weekend!!!
