Using Up Scraps of Paper - Who likes hexagons?

Hi bloggers, 
I love hexagons, not only because of my scientific background, aren't they just perfect structures and bees will agree LOL, and they are so simple to draw. And they are so 'IN' at the moment, which is great as that has been helping me to use up some scraps of my papers that I have for ages and could not trow away.

So there is my first page:


I scraped this photo 2 times so far and this page is remake of the first page. I just could not stand the page and had to take it a part. Used stamps and washi tape for the background, some Prima and some of my own flowers, dies are by Tim Holtz (alpha and swirl), Memory box (clouds) and Spellbinders (hexagons), and few close-ups of this page:  




The second page: Hexagons again and some Prima flowers, Sizzix dies and EK Success Punch, Unity stamps (label) and Spellbinder dies (label and hexagons) 


And my last page today: 


and this one is the oldest - probably made last summer, used Tim Holtz stamps, mists and gesso to make the background, added some scraps of paper, Prima flowers, doily die and machine stitching.

And the good news is: I used up those papers, so I am not going to bored you with more pages made out of those, I know I posted lots of them for last year created out of this paper pack.

I started re-designing my blog and what you see at the moment is just temporary solution, don't really have much time for it, but I will get there.

This is all for today, thank you for reading my post and for your comments and enjoy your day.

Happy New Year and Thanks Helen!!!

Hi everybody,

I know I haven't blogged for while and there are many things I would like to share with you, but first of all I would like to wish everybody very best for 2013. 

Now I would like to say big 'Thanks You' to Helen from Scrap A Little for this


fabulous giveaway she sent me just before the Christmas. Scrap-A-Little is an awesome blog full of fantastic tutorials, sketches and inspiration and I would recommend it everybody to visit.

There were far too many things happening in my life recently that prevented me from crafting and blogging even from reading all my favorite bloggs.  I hope I will be more regular in 2013 - this is not really resolution it is only hope :-) ! I also hope I will make some decent design for my blog.

Right now I managed to find a page that I made probably last summer and never post it before, there it is now:


My DD2 dancing dressed up as a fairy. 2012 was a year of my messy crafting phase and this page is probably the most extreme of them all. I nearly destroyed it by using two opposite colours inks, but gesso came in rescuing. I made all flowers myself, big letters are sizzix dies and small stickers and scrap of patterned paper are form a Basic Grey collection. Not my favorite page so far, but we cannot be always happy, can we?

This is all for now, have a nice day/night.
