Hi Bloggies, Gisteren zijn mijn vriendin en ik op visite geweest bij Nelleke Verkouter, en dames ik kan jullie vertellen dat was niet te g...
wow.....2 blog posts in a row.....must be a record:) my girls are grown so their cure for cabin fever would most likely be SHOPPING:) but when they were younger, we sometimes needed something to shake things up a bit. I told you about our annual "Camp Mommy" awhile back... but here are some little ideas that I think might also be a big hit! 1. water balloons...always a winner! why are some people so against this? we had a blast each and every time.... and notice I said "WE". water balloons are not just for kids:) 2. the trusty lemonade stand..... or cookie stand, cupcakes, candy....all yummy:) 3. okay, this is SO cool....make your own "I Spy" or "Find It" game. (sorry....I couldn't think of what you call these) anyway, fill a water bottle with rice and little toy trinkets from around the house. set a timer and each child gets to see how many items they find. LOVE this one:) 4. Button Art! Isn't this pretty? I think this calls for a whole blog post someday, don't you? but for now, buy a whole bag of cheap buttons and let them go at it. you could draw a design and let them fill it in, make letters.... Hey....this is a great Christmas gift idea!!! 5. And for a healthy, delicious snack... fruit in a waffle cone! (okay.....what brilliant person thought of this?:) there you go...ideas for the kids who are bored, for a rainy day or a day that is just TOO DANG HOT to play outside! (we have a lot of those down here:) and remember.....YOU have fun TOO! XOXOXOXOXOX Suzanne

Добрый день, дорогие рукодельницы! Вот и настало время, открывать секреты и называть альбомы своими именами. :) В процессе подготовки проекта "Шебби альбом", у мастериц зачастую возникали вопросы - что же всё таки такое, этот загадочный "Шебби Бук?" И чем он отличается от Шебби альбома? И прямо сейчас мы получим ответы на этот интересный вопрос! Итак, главное отличие Бука от Альбома, это его мягкая, тканевая основа. Сам альбомчик, все его странички выполнены из ткани! Очень часто основой становится ткань "двунитка", это плотный льняной холст, приятного молочно-кремового цвета, ещё известный как "художественный холст". Так же, основой может стать любая другая плотная ткань светлого оттенка. Второе правило - обилие кружевного декора, это могут быть и салфетки ручной вязки, старинное и современное хлопчатобумажное кружево (можно и синтетику, но без навязчивого блеска), гипюр и кружевное полотно, шитьё, винтажный тюль, и всё что найдётся кружевного в бабушкиных сундуках! :) Конечно же, машинная строчка! Наш тканевый альбомчик в основном должен быть прошит на машинке! (Можно шить и вручную, но это несколько дольше, как вы понимаете! ;-)) Строчка - это дополнительный шарм нашего Бука! Обязательный "налёт времени", это может быть рваный край, состаренные материалы, "следы прошлого". Тема для Шебби бука может быть любой! Про малыша, дочку-маленькую принцессу, про себя любимую, про свадьбу, про самые лучшие моменты в жизни... Про Ангелов, сказку или бабочек, любимые цветы и кошек. Про всё мягкое, тёплое и пушистое, что нас окружает :) Что же всё таки такое, этот загадочный "Шебби Бук?" Это ни много, ни мало - альбом для любования! Не старайтесь впихнуть в него 20-30-50 фото! Сделайте его уютным и милым, тщательно подберите картинки или фото, на которые вам никогда не надоест смотреть! Сделайте его приятным на ощупь и согревающим душу. Поместите внутрь кармашек для сокровенного секрета или памятной вещицы. И этот мягкий альбомчик будет вас радовать долго долго! В сборке Шебби Бука особых правил нет, вы можете делать так, как вам удобнее, оформить развороты отдельно, потом собрать их в "книжку", или сделать основу - тканевую книжицу и вклеить в неё готовые странички, как мы делаем в обычных альбомах. Ниже несколько видеороликов о базовой сборке мягкого альбома. А теперь, поделюсь с вами просто невероятным вдохновением! Да-да, усаживайтесь поудобнее, и приготовьтесь получить роскошную порцию эстетического наслаждения! :) Скажу честно, когда делала подборку, хотелось всё бросить и срочно браться за свеженький шебби бук! :) источник источник источник источник источник источник источник (рекомендую сюда заглянуть :)) источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник Согласитесь, впечатляет? :) Давайте создавать такую красоту вместе?

Morning Everyone, For a change it's not Alyce posting this Thursday, but don't ya' worry she'll be back next week! Sandy here; I didn't schedule Alyce for this week as I didn't think the parcel with Pion Design's new gorgeous collection "My precious daughter" would get there on time. Little did I know that it would take ages for the DT parcels to reach Tina in Germany and Heidi in Norway. Have all European posties gone on Summer holiday, or what's going on? Anywho; Vicky was kind enough to swap day with Tina and then we were holding our breath, hoping the parcel would reach Tina in time for today's post. It didn't look good.. Yesterday around noon Tina pinged me on the messenger and the parcel had then not yet been delivered. We had almost given up hope, but about 1 hour later, Tina pinged me again and the postie had just delivered her parcel. :-) Just in time for today's inspiration post, aren't we lucky?!!! Tina has created a large canvas with the sheets My daughter 12x12 and Baby Doll 12x12. The trim dividing the two sheets is the adorable Mini Banner Trim from Maya Road. The image has been cut from the "My daughter 12x12" sheet and framed by a large Victorian resin frame from Prima. Here's a view of the complete project: The butterflies are from the "Border" sheet, as is the border strip underneath the image. The laces, "Samsara" and "Helene" have sold out, but some new beautiful lace trims were added yesterday: Thanks for stopping by.

It’s very rare that I use papers other than Pion Design, but today I am posting a project that I made using Prima’s Moon Child collection papers and wow – these papers are beautiful! You can also find this project on the Crafteezee Design Team blog here. The card holder was made using a Pazzles […]
Do you ever save beautiful fabrics? Perhaps you are too scared to cut into them or even use them for fear of not being able to replace them later on. If so, you are not alone. I’ve been hanging on to this pretty stack for quite some time. These pretty pink floral fabrics sit on a shelf above my worktable, where I can appreciate them while I’m creating…. and although they are from different collections, they mix together so well. Many of them are no longer available, so that makes them even more special. I’ve purchased them on Ebay and
