<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello dear friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am back with a summer card! Sunny days, poppies and wheat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For making the poppies petals I used Alli Bartkowski's technique found in her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
book "Quilled flowers. A garden of 35 paper projects".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the center of the flowers, I followed <a href="http://increations.blogspot.ro/2009/09/quilled-poppies-step-by-step-part-2.html" target="_blank">Inna's tutorial</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello dear friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I would like to share a birthday card made using <a href="http://paperzen.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Cecelia Louie's</a> design for flowers in vases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love this design and I wanted to try it for a long time. During April I was asked by my sister in law to make a card for her friend and I thought is the best choice since she is a florist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0cmH-VAXHfBgwLsyKCocxJczLFrxBzoBYNDbSKH-DspmI6qRjliUk1EWi9O_HKnw9EIbh8aSIFfVrydXMB722EFp_tqDLoQrxfSV59Z4gsN5sEMlzdk16N9K6QMQmllAAvw4IDXCF6g/s1600/flowervase1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0cmH-VAXHfBgwLsyKCocxJczLFrxBzoBYNDbSKH-DspmI6qRjliUk1EWi9O_HKnw9EIbh8aSIFfVrydXMB722EFp_tqDLoQrxfSV59Z4gsN5sEMlzdk16N9K6QMQmllAAvw4IDXCF6g/s320/flowervase1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took the pictures on a very sunny morning and the light played nice tricks with the paper colors.</div>

Yes, the card got a lovely frame and I am more than happy to see it! I think this is the happiest moment for somebody who is making handmade goods. At least, for me, it was :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Wish you a wonderful and creative week!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello dear friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was a sunny, warm day, a real spring day. So, I decided to share with you my quilled version of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_machaon" target="_blank">Papilio Machaon</a> butterfly. I made it like a birthday gift for a very special friend who loves nature very much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I searched trough a lot of pictures with this butterfly on Google and took me more than a week to decide how I will shape it from paper :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Hello dear friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am in love with <a href="http://paperzen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cecelia Louie's cards designs</a>, with her simple and yet so amazing lines, twirls, swirls and spirals. She has a unique style in quilling, "a bit unorthodox" in Cecelia's own words and it was love at first site! I tried to imagine how all those beautiful quilled shapes are coming to life and, like in a dream which comes true, last year I found out that Cecelia will be the author for "Pretty Quilled Cards: 25+ Creative Designs for Greetings and Celebrations" with instructions for making cards and other beautiful paper projects. So, my little quilling library became greater with this book, which was a birthday present from my husband:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UvYCeR5dn3Q/VOmaeScyfRI/AAAAAAAAGUY/uXgVYtisTWU/s1600/cover.JPG" height="165" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this book and I feel that is a "must" for all quillers, beginners or advanced, because is filled with so many awesome tips and techniques, very detailed instructions for different quilled shapes, all illustrated with very good pictures. I learnt a lot of new things about quilling!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Each project of the book has a list of components, a skill level and measurements for the paper strips used. You will find, too, the indications of the exact point for folding, cutting or pencil mark. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the same time the making of the components has a very detailed description in words, actual sized diagrams and sometimes pictures. And you will find a picture with the finished project, too.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the instructions are so well written and illustrated that are more than easy to follow. You only need a piece of card stock, the paper strips necessary for the project and by using Cecelia's "recipe" your card will be ready in no time!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I just love all the projects in the book and already made a few of them, but my first try was the new baby card. I liked very much the flourishes from inside the rattle and the lovely bow for the handle. In the book you will find a pretty color background with photocopy instructions for this card and for many others.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Pretty Quilled Cards: 25+ Creative Designs for Greetings and Celebrations" is one of my favorite books and the techniques, ideas and quilled shapes contained in it are opening a lot of new perspectives in quilling and in the same time is a great inspiration for all quillers.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much, Cecelia, for all the time and effort to put together a so beautiful and detailed book, with so clear and easy to understand and follow instructions! And for sharing a lot of secrets from behind the scene of making your amazing cards. I was very happy and in the same time very touched by your request of writing a review for your book.<br />
<br />
Wish you all a wonderful week!<br />

The first Christmas card I would like to share is with an origami Christmas tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a special paper to give it a festive air. You can find the tutorial for the tree <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13yFSs8mDvw">here</a>.</div>

I just finished my first order of Christmas cards, but today I would like to share a photo album made for our nephew, Daniel. It will be a loooong post because I have lots of pictures :)</div>

Thanks to Ginger from My Sisters Scrapper for sharing the tutorial for making this album. You can find the first part of it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bjZ4bkUKNo">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I made it with all my love for little Daniel and enjoyed every minute spent in making this album! I didn't think that I will love scrap-booking so much :) This mean that you will see another album here soon. <br />
<br />
Wish a wonderful and creative day!</div>

Thank you very much for your visits and kind words! This time a quilled flowers arrangement in my favourite colours. </div>

And, of course, with an embossed background. Definitely my style :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I used rhinestones for the centre of flowers and I'm in love with the light effect they give the card.<br />
A little ribbon is always a nice touch, don't you think?</div>

Stamping, distressing, cutting and... quilling. All these on a card! </div>

I almost couldn't believe that I didn't post anything for six months! But looks like time is just flying. I made some cards during this "flying" time, cards that I would love to share with you.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My birthday gift this year was a Sizzix Big Shot Machine, a wonderful gift from my family and friends. I love most the embossing folders. Yes, still in love with the embossed background :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And I love distress ink! The guitar is made using a very nice template found on <a href="http://sarahsinkspot.com/blog/guitar-template">Sarah's blog</a>. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this template.</div>

The centre and pegs of the guitar are quilled. I made this card for my brother's birthday and I can now tell you that he loved it.</div>

Because I love making stitching cards, I ordered a very useful kit from <a href="http://www.ericafortgens.nl/webwinkel/index.php?item=&action=article&group_id=10&aid=27&lang=EN">Erica Fortgens Webshop</a>. The beautiful golden thread is from the same kit. Embroidery on paper is much easier with proper tools, at least in my opinion.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The beautiful pattern for the card is from <a href="http://www.cardembroidery.ch/shop/">Ann's Paper Webshop</a>. Now she has a store where the patterns are for download only. I am very happy she decided to have this kind of store! You have the pattern you want in a few minutes.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I would like to share one of the three cards I made for a newborn baby girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Yesterday was the first real winter day in my town! So, more Christmas cards, but this time will be no quilling, but another technique that I love for cards: 3D decoupage. The card I would love to share today is one of my favorite.</div>

Hello, dear blogger friends! I had some problems accessing my account, that's why I couldn't comment on your last beautiful projects! Hope now is all ok again.<br />

Sorry for the not so good pictures, but we had an awful weather here, just rain and cloudy sky for more than a week or so. And the card couldn't wait a sunny day because was made for a friend's birthday, so it had to be on it's way to get there.</div>

Inspired by the elegant and beautiful <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PaperDaisyCardDesign?ref=em">Jill Chapman's cards</a>, I made this one using little quilled flowers. I just love her designs and glad to let you know she has <a href="http://paperdaisycarddesign.blogspot.com/">a blog</a> where you can admire her work.</div>
