last challenge over at LPS

Hi all. As we approach the end of the year, there are few other "ends" and "last ones", too. Today it is the last challenge over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. And it's really the last one for me. Let me say that it's been an honor to be part of the team from the beginning, to see this amazing project grow, to be part of the LPS Magazine and a fabulous team and I want to say a huuuge THANK YOU to Manda for everything!

Now, for the new challenge :) Here are the amAAAzing colors that we've got to play with:

And my page about sunset in winter. I just love the color of the sky! And it kinda fits this color palette :)

This month's sponsor is Big Picture Classes, and the class is Project Real Life with Becky Higgins:

♥

S rokom 2013, ktorý sa pomaly končí, končia aj iné veci. Dnes je to posledná challenge na Life.Paper.Scrapbook na tento rok, no pre mňa je to celkom posledná. Rozhodla som sa od nového roka nepokračovať a trochu sa venovať vlastným projektom a plánom, no z celého srdca ďakujem Mande za to, že som mohla byť súčasťou tohto skvelého tímu od jeho úplného začiatku, vidieť rásť tento skvelý projekt a byť súčasťou jej online časopisu.

Vyššie nájdete farebné zadanie súťaže a moju stránku. Cenou do súťaže je 12-týždňový kurz "Project Real Life" so zakladateľkou projektu Project Life Becky Higgins, v hodnote 99 dolárov! Ak viete po anglicky a radi by ste sa zúčastnili kurzu, prečo neskúsiť šťastie? :) 

LPS december sketch challenge

Here's the last sketch challenge of the year over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook! I know it's december, but I had some photos left to scrap from the past few months, so I've made a page about one of our lovely, peaceful and calm Sunday afternoons we used to have this autumn. With some coffee (or latte) and pie :)

Fun fact: it's a poppy seed cake, considered opium in most of other countries, lol!

Wanna play along? Head over to LPS for more info about the prize and how to participate. Here's the sketch!

Have a lovely december time ;)

Dnes má pre nás Life.Paper.Scrapbook pripravený posledný sketch na tento rok. Je už síce december, no pred koncom roka sa snažím použiť všetky obľúbené fotografie na stránkach, a tak tu je jedno z príjemných a pohodových jesenných nedeľných popoludní pri káve a koláčiku :)

Ako vždy, kliknite na stránku LPS pre viac info o výhre a o tom, ako sa zapojiť.

Krásny december!

november color challenge at life.paper.scrapbook

These colors are simply gorgeous! And I think they suit any kind of layout. They are perfect for a summer themed layout as much as a wintery one. And that's what I've decided to scrap - my first winter layout of the season :)

You won't be able to resist these beautiful colors! So why not  playing along? Follow the pallete, create a layout and upload it to the LPS blog!

This time, the sponsor is Big Picture Classes.

You can win a 31-day workshop from Tracey Clark, called Picture the Holidays, that will show you how to take inspired, artful photographs throughout the lovely time before (and during!) Christmas.

Find HERE the blog post with more info about the prize and rules, but also LOTS of inspiration from the design team!

Play along and have fun!

Na tento mesiac pripravil Life.Paper.Scrapbook prekrásne farby. Hodia sa tak na letný ako aj na zimný layout - práve taký som pre túto challenge zostrojila: prvý zimný layout sezóny :)

Ak sa chcete do challenge zapojiť, stačí vytoriť stránku podľa tejto farebnej palety, nahrať ju na svoj blog a link potom pridať na LPS stránku v pravom menu pod "november color challenge".

Cena je zaujímavá: vyhrať môžete 31-dňový workshop od Big Picture Classes, nazvaný Picture the Holiday, v ktorom vám fotografka Tracey Clark ukáže, ako si počas vianočných príprav a samotných vianoc nafotiť inšpirujúce a krásne fotografie. Kurz je, samozrejme, v angličtine ;)

Veselé tvorenie!

lps' november sketch challenge

This  time, the sketch challenge over at Life.Paper.Scrabpook is a little special. We are using a sketch from our sponsor SCRAPBOOK GENERATION, that has a lovely story behind. It's actually a family business, run by two sets of sisters: Debbie Sanders and Karin Rush, and Debbie's daughters Stacey Atchley and Allison Davis. They sell and distribute sketches and sketch books for scrapbooking and cardmaking and also produce kit clubs.

The winner will be able to choose an ebook from their store, including the brand new ones.

Sooo, here's the sketch, my page and the blog post with lots of awesome inspiration from DT girls :)

Tento mesiac má Life.Paper.Scrapbook v zálohe sketch od SCRAPBOOK GENERATION - čo je rodinná firma, ktorú vedú dva páry sestier :) Do súťaže venovali jednu e-knihu podľa vlastného výberu z ich obchodíka. Zúčastniť sa challenge môžete tak, že podľa sketchu vytvoríte stránku a nahráte ju na life.paper.scrapbook stránku, kde okrem iného nájdete aj viac info o challengi a samozrejme inšpiráciu vo forme stránok od DT dievčat :) Veľa šťastia!

october color challenge @ Life.Paper.Scrapbook

Pretty fall colors this time over at LPS! It's color challenge time again!

Here's my page. While living in Rome, I used to work as a receptionist in a hotel, where - when working in the morning - we had this yummi breakfast: fresh croissants with nutella and cappuccino. Oh, so good! I usually hate when I have to wake up early in the morning (and the morning shift was starting at 7am!!!) but a breakfast like that always made my day :)

The colors of the photo were perfect for the brown part of the color palette. I've used some buttons from October Afternoon, AC alpha thickers, a little bit of washi and some patterned papers and tissue paper for layering. Not a lot - as usual :D

This month's sponsor is the amazing FRECKLED FAWN! Head over to the LPS blog to find out more and play along for a chance to win ;)

Dnešný deň = samé dobré správy! 

Začnem úplnou novinkou - a tou je, že od 1. novembra budem súčasťou design teamu kanadského blogu Stuck?!Sketches !!! Veľmi, naozaj VEĽMIIII sa teším, že budem môcť tvoriť pre ďalší skvelý tím, ktorý je u scrapperiek obľúbený - o čom svedčí aj počet súťažných layoutov pri každej súťaži :) 

Je to blog venovaný tvoreniu podľa sketchov (šablón). Dvakrát za mesiac - na začiatku a v strede - je k dispozícii nový sketch, podľa ktorého je potrebné vytvoriť stránku. Tú potom nahráte k príslušnej súťaži a pri žrebovaní môžete vyhrať naozaj skvelé ceny, ako napr. poukážky na nákup alebo materiál na tvorenie od svetoznámych scrapbookerských značiek.

Tu nájdete dnešné predstavenie nových členiek tímu a 1. novembra si nenechajte ujsť "prehliadku" našich prvých výtvorov pre Stuck?!Sketches ;)

Ok! Druhá dobrá správa je, že na svete je tretie číslo austrálskeho magazínu Life.Paper.Scrapbook!

Ako každá členka design teamu, aj ja mám svoju vlastnú dvojstránku ;) s layoutmi - na str. 26-27. A tentokrát dokonca ešte ďalšiu - "Mini garden" na strane 64! :D

Dievčatá, tento magazín je fakt skvelý. Má cez 150 strán nabitých inšpiráciou. Layouty a iné projekty od scrapperiek z celého sveta, stránky plné farieb... je to pastva pre oči a keď si ho dopozeráte, budete chcieť hneď začať tvoriť! :D

september color challenge at LPS

I really, REALLY like September's colors over at LPS blog! That kind of green is one of my favourite colors and the photo of this armchair was just a perfect fit :) As the journaling says, I used to have this armchair in my room in Rome and it felt quite posh to sit there while reading or having a drink ;) So, yes - I took a photo of my armchair with my teddies and a book, lol!

September color challenge is now up on LPS' blog, so check out all the amazing creations of other DT members from group A here, but there's even more - see also group B's reveal from yesterday!

Toto je farebná paleta na mesiac september na blogu Life.Paper.Scrapbook. Podľa mňa je úplne skvelá a tento odtieň zelenej patrí medzi moje obľúbené farby - preto som aj na stránke použila fotku kresla v tejto farbe :) Mala som ho v mojej izbe v Ríme bolo super čítať si v ňom knihu alebo dať si drink, človek sa cítil tak trochu luxusne :D Takže som si ho až odfotila a teraz o ňom spravila stránku pre LPS :)
