Morning with a Smile

Hello!

Thank you for stopping by today.

I put together this pretty card with two stamps – The Greeting Farm stamp (Anya) and Lawn Fawn set. I love how it turned out.

I think this kind of a card can start everyone’s morning with the smile. It doesn’t really matter what time of the day, we need to remember to smile and be kind. 🙂

This card was also inspired by the sketch at Mojo Monday blog (just realized that I’m late to enter into the contest).

Wishing all lots of wonderful moments and smiley days,

Elena 🙂

Every Morning with Anya

 

Всем привет!

Спасибо большое что зашли ко мне в гости сегодня.

Вот такая открытка симпатичная получилась у меня; использовала два штампика – The Greeting Farm stamp (Anya) и Lawn Fawn.

Такая открытка начнет улыбкой утро любого человека.

Наверное неважно какое время суток, нужно всегда дарить людям улыбки и доброту.

Открытка создалась под вдохновение на блоге Mojo Monday.

Всем только самого лучшего и улыбчивых деньков,

Лена 🙂

 

 

I made A card

Hello!

Today I have a card to share with you. I inked up The Greeting Farm stamp and took a new paper pad that I purchased at one store that had some good prices. 🙂

Layout was inspired by sketch on blog The Sweetest Thing.

I have been very busy lately. And this Saturday I am going to another Craft Fair in Clintonville this time. Would you like me to make a video about it?

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comments!

Happy smiles and hugs to you,

Elena

My Fav TGF

Всем привет!

Сегодня у меня для вас открытка. В руках моих оказался штампик от компании The Greeting Farm и набор бумаги, который случайно нашла в магазине, который порадовал меня хорошими ценами. 🙂

Скетч для открытки с блога The Sweetest Thing.

В последнее время я очень-очень занята, а еще в субботу поедем на очередную ярмарку. Если хотите, запищу видео обзор.

Спасибо большое, что приходите в гости и оставляете комментарии!

Обнимаю вас и дарю вам улыбку 🙂

Лена

Thank you!

Good Morning!

… I am not sure if I was telling here at my blog that my son broke his arm about two months ago. He had a very serious break on his growth bone plus two others (right on the wrist).  A success of healing was really relied on how the doctor will put the broken bones in place and then put a hard cast. It happens that we were lucky to get an excellent  doctor who did a wonderful job. My son is cast free for almost two weeks now, and he can play baseball again.

Couple of days ago he asked me if we can send a thank you card to this doctor. I was totally with him on this idea. I asked to choose a stamp and made a card using TGF stamp. It looks like my son liked the card because when he came from school he asked if he can sign it. I was very touched when I glanced inside the card. We already sent this card and hope it will find our doctor. 🙂

I also would like to participate in TGF challenge since this week it is Anything Goes.

Thank you for stopping by,

TGF for Orthopedist

Доброе утро!

Не знаю, говорила ли я вам о том, что около двух месяцев назад мой сын сломал руку в области запастья. Перелом был серьезный, одна из трех сломанных косточек была “растущей”. Процесс заживания большей степенью зависел от того, как правильно доктор вправит кость перед тем, как поставят гипс. Мы попали в руки к очень хорошему доктору. Он помог моему мальчику! И вот как почти две недели сняли гипс!

Мой ребенок спросил, можно ли нам отправить открытку нашему спасителю. Конечно, я поддержала эту идею.  Сынуля выбрал штампик для открытки, а я с огромным удовльствием ее сотворила.  Приехав со школы, сынуля сразу взялся за открытку и оставил там слова, которые меня очень тронули…

Вчера открытку отправили в поликлинику, очень хотим, чтобы она нашла адресата. Оказывается, не легко найти нашего доктора.

Всем спасибо,

Лена

Всем привет!

Сегодня разместила две открытки, которые сделала своим друзьям на День Рождение.

Даже попробовала сделать открытку-погремушку. По-моему такие сейчас очень популярны в мире открыточников. 🙂

Спасибо большое, что заглянули ко мне на блог.

Надеюсь, что может кого-то и я сегодня вдохновила.

Обнимаю всех,

Лена

 

 

Sketch Challenges

Hello!

Today I would like to share with you two cards that I made inspired by two sketches from different blogs.

The first sketch is Sweet Sunday Sketch. I liked an idea with the circle in the middle of the rectangular part. Karen is so talented with the layouts. 🙂

Many Thanks

You may notice that I played with the same stamps –  one from My Favorite Things company (Pure Innocence Boy) and another is sentiment from Lawn Fawn (freebie that you get all the time you put an order with this lovely company). Not only same stamp was used, but also same paper pack (Basic Grey DP).

Second card was created following a sketch from Retro Sketches blog. I like the simplicity and style of this sketch. And it is always a treat to visit this blog and gave a look at awesome DT samples. 🙂

Many Thanks 2

Thank you so much for stopping by today. And HUGE thank you for your warm comments about my videos. I know that I need to learn more about videos overall (editing them, not being so nervous during recording time). I was so glad to hear and read nice and warm words about my first try. THANK YOU!!!

I will see you soon here, at the same place.

Wishing all beautiful day,

Elena

Привет!

Сегодня хочу показать вам две открытки, выполенные по разным скетчам. Возможно вы заметите, что на открытках использованы одни и теже штампы. Даже бумага из одного набора. Отличаются открытки размером и скетчами (как я уже говорила).

Первая открытка выполнена по этому эскизу с замечательного блога The Sweetest Thing. Мне очень понравилось как здесь расположен кружок внутри прямоугольника. Именно это натолкнуло меня на идею создания круглого окошка/отверствия.

Второй скетч с блога Retro Sketches. Мне этот блог очень нравится. Дизайнерская команда отличная и стиль у девчонок простой и очень сипматичный.

Вот, пожалуй и все на сегодня. Спасибо дорогие мои за ваши светлые комментарии. Оромное спасибо за комментарии к моим видео. Знаю, что мне еще работать и многому учиться надо в этом направлении. Очень ценю вашу доброту и отзывчивость. Спасибо!!! 🙂

Всем отличного дня!

До скорой встречи в моем рукодельном мире,

Лена

Many Thanks 3
