So's arts and crafts

La invitatia  Let's Chocolate , am tinut ieri, un atelier caritabil care a facut parte din campania  100 de zambete-n DAR  . Ce-am facut? Ornamente din carton pentru pomul de Craciun. Taxa de participare a fost donata celor de la 100 de zambete-n dar. Propunerile mele au fost: un glob, o stea in 5 colturi si o coronita de fulgi de zapada. Iata si cateva poze din timpul atelierului: Fotografii: Horea Danciu Am taiat, am lipit, am dat cu sclipici si mai mult decat orice ne-am distrat...Cred ca acum fiecare abia asteapta sa agate in pom trei noi ormanemte pe care unii dintre participanti nu erau siguri la inceput ca le vor putea face...:) Dar n-a fost greu deloc, si nimeni n-a stricatnici o bucatica de carton! :) Pentru pregatirea atelierului mi-a fost de maaaare ajutor masinuta mea Big Shot si matritele de la Sizzix si Marianne Design. Multumesc Let's Chocolate pentru invitatie!

Hello, Some time ago I discovered this amazing site:  http://papermatrix.wordpress.com  that presents traditional Danish paper crafts. Since Christmas is not that far away now, I thought I'd try my hand at the easiest design of spheres:  http://papermatrix.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/sphere-001/ So I printed the template on colored cardstock and followed the instructions. I have to tell you... it is not at all easy to cut all the paper strips by hand, but the most difficult is weave them tight enough so sphere closes correctly in the end. Here's how my first bauble turned out (is is far from perfect, but it wasn't a complete disaster either): The next time, I shall try with thinner sheets of paper maybe...

Buna tuturor! In 21 decembrie, la libraria  Carturesti  de pe strada Mercy, din Timisoara, impreuna cu  Incubator 107 Timisoara  am facut braduti din hartie reciclata... mai exact din reviste, asa cum ati vazut intr-una dintre postarile mele anterioare. Participantii au avut o rabdare infinita...:)) si printre canile de ceai cald si amintirile pe care le-am depanat, au pliat revistele pagina cu pagina. Iata ce-a iesit: Dupa ce am teriminat bradutul, urmeaza ornatul...                                                                                   foto: Larisa Plesca Le multumesc tuturor ca au venit si sper sa ne mai intalnim la ateliere si anul viitor! Craciun fericit!

hello all, A week ago I received my Sizzix Big Shot machine...this is the best Christmas  present I can think about...:) Then I needed some dyes and so, I decided to buy the Sizzix Sizzlits decorative Strip Die - mini paper rosettes by Tim Holtz since these rosettes make you think of snowflakes. Here are the card I made using this die: I also used some little Christmas stamps from  Do Crafts .

Hi, this is a quick post to show you the newest additions to the Christmas ornaments collection from this year... two quilled snowflakes. You can use them as Christmas tree ornaments or as card toppers.

Hello all, Some new Christmas cards I made these days using some templates from the internet:
