Fancy Marci

2012-01-31T08:17:00.000-08:00

Days are finally getting colder and it looks a lot like winter. I must say I don't like cold winter. So I created this card with beautiful Fancy marci that reminds me of warm summer days.
I colored Marci with Prismacolor Premier pencils which I think are the best pencils on the market. They are easy to blend. Colored pencils are my favorite coloring mediums. I used one of Melissa Frances papers. I think they are from 5th Avenue collection.

Have a beautiful day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIS

2012-01-08T09:52:00.000-08:00

Lots of you remember August 16, 1977. It was the day when music died. I was not even born at that time but there are lots of you that remember where you were on that day....
It was the saddest day in the history of modern music. It was the day when ELVIS PRESLEY died. He was only 42 years old. He was the most talented entertainer of all times. Elvis is regarded as one of the most important figures of 20th-century popular culture.
Today he would be 77 years old.Let's remember a man that came from very humble beginnings, and grew up to become one of the biggest names in rock and roll.
HAPPY birthday!!!!!!

I REMEMBER ELVIS PRESLEY

Last night I turned radio on for the midnight news
Suddenly I thought I died of a broken heart
When I heard the announcer say...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the King is dead
Elvis Presley just died in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee
Forty-Two years on this planet, but he'll be here forever"

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord, how I love to hear him sing!
So I'll adore him just forever
For he's the one and only King

I remember Elvis Presley
And he won't ever set me free
Like he was singing "Now Or Never"
He's just a golden memory

Good luck charm is not forever
Good luck songs we need 'em ever
Again, again I'll play your songs
'Cause in my mind you haven't gone

Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss him tonight?
Tell me, dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord, how I love to hear him sing!
So I'll adore him just forever
For he's the one and only King

I remember Elvis Presley
And he won't ever set me free
Like he was singing "Now Or Never"
He's just a golden memory

My dear friend, I won't forget you
When I need you, I can hear you
King, though I don't know where or when
There'll be a day we'll meet again

Wise man say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love again

Elvis Presley, I wanna thank you
For all the happiness you gave so many people
All over the world during many, many years
I remember the DJ was playing "Jailhouse rock"
When I had my first date with a beautiful girl
And since that evening you've been my friend, Elvis

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord, how I love to hear him sing!
So I'll adore him just forever
He's just a golden memory

Veliko se nas spomni 16. avgusta 1977. S tem dnem je umrl del popularne glasbe. Takrat nisem bila niti rojena, ampak veliko vas je, ki se gotovo spomnite, kje ste bili tistega dne. Bil je eden najbolj žalostnih dni v zgodovini moderne glasbe. Bil je dan, ko je unrl ELVIS PRESLEY, star komaj 42 let. Bil je eden izmed najbolj talentiranih glasbenikov vseh časov. Predstavlja eno najpomembnejših osebnosti 20. stoletja.
Danes bi bil Elvis star 77 let. Spomnimo se glasbenika, ki je prehodil strmo pot, od velike revščine in postal najpomembnejše ime v zgodovini rock'n'rolla.
Vse najboljše !!!!!

First Christmas Cards

2011-12-01T05:44:00.000-08:00

Christmas time is slowly approaching and it is time to start making Christmas cards. I made this card using TJ Designs Vintage St. Nick Collage Pack.The pack includes 15 sheets of vintage images. There's total of 126 images in the pack. Images are of great quality and make perfect vintage cards.

Heritage album

2011-10-30T02:02:00.000-07:00

This heritage album I made for a present for my hubby's grand father who turned 92 last week.He lost his wife of 65 years this May so I thought it would be nice to get some of the pictures out of dusty boxes and make him an album about him and his wife. That way he would have her close to him all the time.
But I must say I was not alone in doing it. I have my hubby to help me with glueing, distressing.

Ta album sem naredila za 92 rojstni dan staremu očetu mojega partnerja. Letos maja mu je umrla žena s katero je bil poročen 65 let. Prava priložnost, da se vsaj nekaj slik iz starih zaprašenih škatel uredi v album. Album je narejen tako, da predstavlja njuno življenjsko pot. Vsakokrat, ko se bo želel spomniti na svojo ženo in minula leta, bo imel te spomine vedno na dosego rok.
Ampak moram z veseljem povedati, da pri izdelavi tega albuma nisem bila sama. Boštjan je tako lepo pomagal z lepljenjem in senčenjem distress blazinic. Znajo biti moški res prav koristni. Uporabite jih pri zamudnih opravilih kot sta lepljenje in senčenje.

SUITCASE FULL OF MEMORIES

2011-09-04T10:32:00.000-07:00

Hot summer days are almost over and I am already starting crafting Christmas decorations. I created this suitcase with mini album for my Christmas memories.

Poletje in z njim vroči dnevi se končuje in prihaja čas, ko se počasi začenjamo pripravljati na božič. Res, da je šele september, ampak kot bi trenil bosta zima in božič tukaj. Kovček in mini album, ki sem naredila bosta za hrambo božičnih spominov.
V trgovini Memories bosta potekali tudi delavnici kovčka in mini albuma. Več informacij na spletni strani www.memories.si v kategoriji delavnice. Izdelka si
lahko ogledate tudi v trgovini Memories.

LIFE'S JOURNEY

2011-08-24T05:59:00.000-07:00

Sometimes we complaine about our lives. We are never satisfied with it. If we don't have everything we want, if we don't go places we want..... Do we ever think about our grand parents' lives... About their lives and times..

Today's post is dedicated to a man who is 92 years old that's been through second world war. He was kept as a prisoner in Germany for 4 years during the war , didn't see his home for 6 years. He is old school gentleman. Addresses everybody with yes sir, very polite and respectful, he shaves every morning at 4 AM and dresses nicely every day. His mind is very sharp and would remember all songs he learned as a school boy. He would always say : I dont remember what I had for lunch yesteray but I sure remember everything what happpened 70 years ago. Sometimes he reminds me of Paul Newman.
Three months ago he lost his beloved wife of 65 years and was there by her side till they took her away from him.
I hope he will stay in our family for a very very long time.

For this layout I used Graphic 45 papers.

DIFFERENT CRAFTING

2011-07-02T04:05:00.000-07:00

This morning I went to a local store and saw an advertisement for a movie Transformers 3. Last year in July I spent 2 weeks in Chicago and had opportunity to be on a set of shooting a movie. I decided I will share some photos with you. Maybe after watching a movie this whole scene will look familiar to you.

Danes zjutraj sem odšla po nakupih in zagledam reklamo za film Transformerji 3. Spomini so mi poleteli nazaj v Chicago, kjer sem lani v Chicagu doživela snemanje enega izmed prizorov v tem filmu. Objavljam nekaj fotografij iz samega snemanja. Mogoče vam bo tale scena zgledala zelo poznana , ko si boste pogledali film.

In love with LaBlanche stamps

2011-05-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

I just love beautiful vintage Lablanche stamps. Both of these cards are made with Lablanche stamps.
On the first card I used beautiful Lady dreaming and Seerose stamps. It is a very feminine card. On the other card I used a stamp that is perfect for man's cards. It is so hard to get nice stamps for man's cards. This one is perfect. What gives that touch to a card is the paper. One of my favorite ... K&Company papers.

Obožujem vintage štampiljke. In Lablanche štampiljke so mi trenutno ene najljubših. Obe voščilnisi sta narejeni z uporabo teh štampiljk. Na prvi voščilnici sem uporabila Lady dreaming in okvir Seerose štampiljki. Štampiljka uporabljena na drugi voščilnici je perfektna za voščilnico, namenjeno moškemu spolu. Vedno , ko se srečamo z izdelavo moških voščilnic naletimo na težavo... katero štampiljko izbrati. Obe štampilki si lahko ogledate na spletni strani www.memories.si . Ne bi bilo pa voščilnice brez prelepih papirjev. Na obeh sem uporabila K&Company papirje... meni med ljubšimi. In seveda ne gre brez Martha stewart štanc in Spellbinders šablon.

Being lazy ....?

2011-04-29T09:49:00.000-07:00

I was being so slack in updating my blog. It's not I was being lazy and not crafting or because nothing has happened.... actually too much has happened.

I did lots and lots of crafting. So, I have some projects to share... I just need to photograph them and put them on my blog.

Next what I was doing is cleaning up... Yes, you are right - cleaning. Of course, it's springtime and that means we have to get rid of all the clutter that we stocked up over the winter. I mean, ALL THE CLUTTER.

Thanks for stoping.

Dolgo je od moje zadnje objave. Ne, da bi bila lena ali da se nič nebi dogajalo. Nasprotno, preveč stvari se je dogajalo.

Bilo je ogromno ustvarjanja, samo poslikam in objavim.

Je čas pomladi, kar pomeni, da je to tudi čas čiščenja. Ja, ogromno čiščenja. Vsa navlaka, ki se nabere skozi zimo, pomladi pač mora iti. Skozi dolgo, sivo zimo se nabere toliko stvari, da te nekako kar morijo in komaj čakaš na lepe sončne dni, da se vsega tega znebiš. Včasih se navlaka nabira tako dolgo, da nam nekako že greni življenja, pa se tega niti ne zavedamo. V določenih trenutkih se tega zavemo šele, ko nam ljudje okoli nas začnejo odpirati oči.Torej, sem tako kot večina, tudi čistila. In vesela sem, da sem POČISTILA VSE.

Hvala za obisk.

A Proper Gentleman

2011-04-10T07:29:00.000-07:00

He is a real gentleman you can't find anymore these days. He is my biggest chearleader. He supports me in everything I do. He waits patiently for me hours and hours when I go scrapbook shopping. On this white bench probablly he was waiting for me. You can tell by the expression on his face.
Anyway... Stay the way you are- loving, caring and patient.

Lahko rečem, da je spodoben, gospodič, ki jih preprosto ne najdeš več. Moderen, vendar s pridihom stare šole.
Je moj največji navijač. Podpira me v vsem kar naredim, predvsem v mojem hobiju. Vedno potrpežljivo čaka name ure in ure, kjerkoli nekontrolirano zaidem v nakupovanje za moj hobi. Na tej klopci verjetno nekje čaka name. Pa saj se vidi na njegovem obrazu.
Ostani takšen kot si- SPODOBEN GOSPOD....

Finally....

2011-03-27T07:28:00.000-07:00

It was about time. Finally I am a blogger and will be sharing my love and passion for paper crafts and other crafts with you. I am a stamper, cardmaker and scrapbooker. But people that know me would say I am a scrapbooker. Yeah, you are right I am. I have been a scrapbooker for over 10 years now. Oh my god how time slips away. Why I am such a passionate scrapbooker ? Well, since I remember I've always had the thing about pictures. Pictures to me are precious possession and deserve to be taken with special care in a beautiful scrapbook.
Welcome to my creative journey.

Končno sem tudi jaz začela z blogom. Odslej bom z vami delila mojo ljubezen do ustvarjanja - izdelovanja papirnatih izdelkov, vse od izdelovanja voščilnic, albumov,... Ampak tisti, ki me poznajo bi rekli, da sem bolj usmerjena k izdelovanju albumov kot voščilnic. Res je. In to iz enega preprostega razloga. Ljubim slike, rada jih urejam v albume, skratka slike mi predstavljajo eno največje bogastvo. Slike so moja obsesija. Skratka dobrodošli in upam, da nam bo na našem skupnem ustvarjalnem popotovanju lepo.
