Scrapbook News and Reviews

Some time ago I joined a team at Scrapbook News and Reviews Magazine. It's a great online monthly magazine featuring inspirational works and lots of articles and tips on different techniques on each and every aspect of scrapbooking, both paper and digi. And now you can take also some great classes there too at The Art Studio. 

Here are my layouts that I made for April issue.

simple moments

This week's digital challenge at Scrapujące Polki is to use birds on your layout. Here's my page, very summery and laid-back as we have just started holiday and hot sunny weather is back.

W tym tygodniu temat przewodni naszego digi wyzwania u Scrapujących Polek to ptaszki. U mnie występują gościnnie jako elementy letniego lenistwa i nicnierobienia ;-) ah, nie ma to jak wakacje.

Another challenge at Scrapujące Polki - this time it's a mix of patterns - we're supposed to use three different checked patterns, two different striped ones and one dotted/spotted. Here's my page featuring my new fave red blouse ;-) and me playing in front of the camera at one of my selfie photo shoots.

Zapraszam na moje nowe - pierwsze w 2012 wyzwanie digi - tym razem liftujemy realki. Wszystkie szczegóły tutaj. Ja zliftowałam przecudną i ulotną pracę Vanille, ale zobaczcie też inne bo są naprawdę świetne!

a tiny whisper of wonder and calm ...

today's page:

photo: me

journaling reads:

seeing past the chaos
that often overwhelms me
and discover
a tiny whisper of wonder, of calm,
I am transported
to the place within myself
where reverie lives.
/Tracey Clark/

the quote is from a wonderful book Expressive Photography - the Shutter Sisters' Guide to Shooting from the Heart - (widziałam polskie wydanie w empiku ostatnio ;-) absolutely inspiring book - not only visually but great journaling too ...

each day ... a chance to love ...

Happy New Year !!!

Have a wonderful 2012 - may it be filled with joy and love and creativity!

my word for 2012

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.”
/Edith Lovejoy Pierce/

just a quick post to wish you a good day

That's what I'd like to do ;-) but no time for sleeping now ;-) and still not enough time for scrapping my Daily December pages - so today just this photo and a shot of my centrepiece I did yesterday - more decorations will be put up today/tomorrow.


have a wonderful day - and don't get too caught up in the hectic pace of the last days before Christmas - keep breathing and smiling ;-)

and some soothing music for you to keep the right perspective - from my fave Christmas movie _ Love Actually - All You Need Is Love

Journal Your December - day 14 &15

Warning - this post is going to be really long ;-)

First my double page from 14/12 - it's about my fave Christmas smells - cinnamon, chocolate and orange ( I have this wonderful smelling orange-chocolate candle ;-) Those yummy odours make me feel christmasy = cheerful and relaxed. I love the smell of fresh pine too but this is not here yet ...

And these pages are on the yesterday's topic on Journal Your December - how do you collect your Christmas memories? For me the main medium is photography - I just snap a photo a day ( in fact more than one ;-) and in this way capture and express my feelings and thoughts this year. I found two great quotes that are perfect add ons as they speak beautifully about what I'd love to be able to do - to keep this holiday spirit and memories in my heart everyday and not only in December.
