Hanukah Decor

Hi, everyone! It’s Aliza here. This is my first blog post since the summer, so it’s nice to be back here.

Here’s a little tidbit about Jewish holidays: They follow the lunar calendar, so they fall on different dates of the Gregorian calendar each year. Which just means that every once in a while, you are sitting around thinking, “Oh, it’s only November, nothing big is happening too soon.” And then you look at your calendar and realize, “Oh, Hanukkah is just three weeks away!”

When I had that realization recently, I was working my way through my November Clique Kit, and I was struck by the thought that all the beautiful blues in this kit would make for some lovely Hanukkah decor.

My first step was to paint an old mirror frame that I had lying around. (The reason this mirror has been lying around, by the way, is that my children managed to break all the glass squares. )

Because of the yellow tone of the paint, I brushed some blue mist on the frame. It looked terrible. So I painted another coat of white over the blue, and dabbed some of the paint away.

As you can see above, I used a dreidel cut file with the We R Memory Keepers patterned papers to create the artwork for the frame.

I decided to go really simple, in the end, with just a touch of embellishment. Because, really these papers are just so beautiful.

I think I still have just enough of my kit left to make another Hanukkah decor project or two. (Perhaps a miracle will happen, and I will have enough paper for eight days of projects!)

 

 

Locker Room: Adventure

Hello!! Maryám here today to sharing with you another layout made with November “Tapestry” kit, and some add-ons of this month.

The first step is,  choose the photos and papers, or others materials to work in this layout.

I cut a butterfly and phrases from the papers included in the kit.

Finally, I added some splaters of black ink.

This is the result. I like this layout, because, is clean and simple, love the butterflies and I am in love with the colors of the Wildflower Collection by We R Memory Keepers.

If you would like get some add-ons, visit the Clique Kits Store.

Please, if you have a questions, let me know at the comments and I’ll answer it.

I hope you liked this layout.

Hugs!

Yearbook – Hello

Hello, It’s Leeann with you today, I hope you all are well and have been busy crafting after checking out the cliques blog each day. How amazing are all the inspiring projects that pop up. I hope you are in love with this months kit, I am! So today I am sharing this page with you. Today’s focus was all about scrapping more than one photo. I scrap heaps of one photo pages. But sometimes I have lots of pics from a special event or outing. This page  makes my heart happy as it features my family and my beautiful friends from Western Australia. We recently moved state and I just don’t get to see my best friends that I’ve known for a long time! So this is us hanging out in Melbourne seeing the sights. We all had so much to talk about and the kids loved seeing there old school buddies too!

 

So because I had lots of photos I wanted to be a little more creative with this one and because I am a circle kind of girl I chose to create a circle grid. Before I added my photos and embellishments  I added a splash of color using my watercolour paints. Waited for them to dry and proceeded to back each circle with pattern papers and other embellishments from the Tapestry kit.

 

 

and here are a few detail shots. You will notice I layered lots of the embellishments and sprinkled the mini hearts like confetti. Added some doodling around each circle for extra detail.

 

 

So if this is a design you would like to try, it offers the opportunity to scrap lots of photos and some creative journaling spots.

Can’t wait to see your take on this design.

Happy Recording!

Yearbook: Snow 15′

Hi Everyone! It’s Maryám here again. 😀 Today I’m going to show you a second layout I’ve created with the beautiful November Kit called Tapestry.

For the background I used a sheet of white cardstock, and for the title I used Dear Lizzy Gold Thickers included in this kit.

The Lora Bailora flairs are so beautiful and perfect at everywere.

The photos and journaling of this layout are from my latest travel at the snow. I’m in love with the trees and the beautiful white mountains.

It was a very funny travel. I need visit this place again.

Let me know what you think about this layout.

See you soon.
