christmas layout // process video

I've just realized I didn't post about my latest video, so here it is - all christmassy and wintery :) Enjoy!

my christmas // winter wonderland

I spent christmas with my family - as I do every year. There was nothing different or special - I mean the same traditions and everything - and yet - everything about it so special! Being together, traditional supper, christmas tree with colorful lights, midnight mass - because yes, it's all about baby Jesus! It's simply the most wonderful time of the year :)

My christmas decoration: white and silver, cones, candles, snowflakes... and a little deer ^_^

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? :) 

stuck?!:: december 15th challenge

It's time for a new sketch challenge over at Stuck?!Sketches!

Our awesome sponsor for this challenge is Creative Embellishments, who offers a $20 gift certificate (shipping charges apply to goodies ordered).

And here comes the christmas sketch:

And my take on it:

Come play along!!!

december daily 2013

Hi all!

This year I've decided to participate in december daily for the first time! Christmas is such a beautiful and magical time of the year - so, if you put christmas and scrapbooking together  -  that will make december daily! :)

I've made the cover and the base pages quite some time ago and now I finally got some pictures of it - so here is my first post about it :)

As my budget didn't really allow me to order the Studio Calico kit, I thought - why not using my own designs?! Yes, I've designed some christmas patterned papers that can be found (and purchased) in my etsy store and they look like that:

And I have just realized that I have blogged about them already ... hehe :)

Here they are:

For now I have just the cover and the pages that hold together with a clip - as I'm sure I will do some sewing on the pages later on. So I keep them separated for now and when finished, I'll glue the two respective pages together and sew on the borders as well.

I don't have the numbers ready neither. I've just cut the circles and will add numbers as I go according to the colors I'll use on each page, so that they will match.

Well, that's pretty much for now! I leave for Rome on December 3, but will set a blog post to share my first pages with you ;) xxx

December Daily - u nás na Slovensku v scrapbookovom svete ešte asi veľká neznáma, no dnes by som sa s vami chcela podeliť o pár fotiek a nápadov - a vlastne aj napísať o tom, čo to vlastne je :)

December Daily si prvýkrát začala robiť Ali Edwards v roku 2008. Ide o dokumentovanie 25 dní do Vianoc vo vianočnom albume. Ten si buď kúpite alebo vytvoríte - a najlepšie pripravíte všetko dopredu tak, aby - ako hovorí Ali - boli stránky pripravené už na vkladanie fotografií a ozdobovanie a aby tak dokumentovanie 25 dní do Vianoc bola zábava a nie stres :) Pripraviť si teda treba obal, základné stránky a čísla od 1 - 25 pre každú stránku. Viac info o December Daily nájdete na stránke Ali Edwards. 

Na toto tvorenie ponúka Studio Calico vianočný kit, ktorý je skvelý a poštovné neplatíte, no 100 dolárov bolo pre mňa i tak veľa, a tak som sa rozhodla pre môj prvý December Daily použiť moje vlastné dizajny. Digitálny balíček nájdete v mojom etsy obchodíku - ja som si vzory vytlačila na výkresy a skombinovala s ďalšími čistými výkresmi tak, aby som si pripravila 25 obojstranných stránok. Zatiaľ držia pohromade len spinkami, pretože na nich plánujem šiť, alebo použiť svorky - a tak aby to nebolo vidieť na zadnej strane som si radšej stránky zopla týmto spôsobom. Keď už budú ozdobené, zlepím ich a okraje ešte prešijem. Obálka je jednoduchá, elegantná, obsahuje len nápis a bakers twine s rolničkou. Čísla na stránky tiež nemám pripravené - vystrihla som si biele kruhy s priemerom cca 3,5 cm, na ktoré doplním čísla podľa farebnosti danej stránky - aby spolu ladili.

To je môj december daily na tento rok, pripravený na fotografie, zážitky, zimné a vianočné spomienky :) 3.decembra odchádzam do Talianska, no určite nastavím nejaký príspevok dopredu, aby som sa s vami podelila o prvé stránky.

Veselé vianočné prípravy a tvorenie!

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!

cs sketch nr 245

Hello everyone! Another Sunday, another reveal at CS blog! And WHAT a reveal! One sketch - and so many beautiful interpertations! The sketch was designed by Nicole Nowosad and i LOVE it! It is beautiful yet so simple, so I've decided to keep it simple :) Just some paint, thread, one great stamp from Elle's Studio, scrapbooking buttons, tissue paper and some patterned paper... No title! Check out today's reveal on Creative Scrapper's blog and participate to win this amazing price from My Creative Scrapbook!

***

Je tu ďalšia nedeľa a aj ďalší nový sketch na blogu Creative Scrappers. Zapojiť sa môžete do súťaže o balíček na scrap tvorenie od My Creative Scrapbook vytvorením stránky podľa predlohy od Nicole Nowosad. Ako inšpirácia - množstvo krásnych stránok od dievčat z Design Teamu! Sketch je jednoduchý a pritom krásny... rozhodla som sa použiť len trochu farby, buttoniek od Cat In The Closet, bielej nite a priesvitného a vzorovaného papiera. Namiesto nadpisu som použila pečiatku od Elle´s Studio.

Happy Sunday everyone :)
