B is for bee!

I have a phobia... to be more honest i have more than one phobias! I am afraid of insects and especially bees. The last 6 years as i live in a small town instead of the big city i used to live i have to deal everyday with my fear...especially during summer! Three days ago i had to give a battle with some bees...oh yes a real battle as bees decided to make their home at my balcony's lamp! I was frustrated....my hubby wasn't home so i had to fight with them by myself!  Don't laugh (although it was funny!) with a broom i tried to ruin their home and go back inside as a flash so as not to be stung by them! After four attempts and with my heart beating like a drum  i finally made it but then i felt sad about poor bees...

So to make amends to bees and as the given letter for week 13 at alpha dictionary challenge at craft barn  was B i made a page for them hopping one day i will be brave enough to be friend with them and not enemy. ...

So here is my entry:

I am still practicing with girl portraits so be kind with me...this must be my 7th attempt! Shading and symmetry are my  biggest problems... but i am working on it! I also believe that the watercolor paper of my journal doesn't  help me...Although it is heavy paper it crumbles when i put water on it even small amounts of water....that's why i ordered my first moleskine journal to take it with me during summer vacation hoping to dissolve the problem!


I wish you all a nice weekend  and don't forget Hacuna Matata everybody :)

 

Say Cheese!!!

When i learned that i would have a son i was pretty disappointed.... girls were more cute i thought. Now almost 4 years later i have to say i am in love with my little boy! He is so so cute and i am a very lucky mummy!

Hacuna Matata everybody

Sun Kissed

As most of you know when i am working on a layout i prefer white cardstock as a base. When i started scrapping to my two first layouts i used patterned papers but the patterned paper confused me and the final result didin't please me at all....so i decided that white cardstock was best for me.  

Now...almost after 25 layouts  (oh yes i am still a beginner)... i thought it was time to make an experiment and work with a pattern paper as base. I choose a less bold patterned paper and i made a layout full of summer breeze with a photo of my son. I am a very lucky girl, my sister takes great pictures and i always have beautiful photos to scrap on ;) 

With this layout i will take part to Let's get sketchy june 1st week challenge  with this sketch:
