Sunflower wedding invitation - brown / Invitatii cu floarea soarelui maro

It`s spring outside, yet I work on sunflower wedding invitations. I`ve sent a package this week to a client from Hungary and she was so happy to see them that almost made me cry with her beautiful words. She said they are even more beautiful in reality than in pictures. 

Happy to make happy people :)

Stiu ca este primavara, eu lucrez intens la invitatii cu floarea soarelui. Si imi place si sunt bucuroasa. Tocmai am trimis spre Ungaria un colet si clienta mi-a scris despre cat de extrem de multumita si fericita este. 

Imi venea sa plang de fericire. 

Spunea ca sunt si mai frumoase decat in poze si ca totul e exact cum si-au imaginat.  

Happy to make happy people :)

The sunflower album is a gift I`ve sent, I believe it fits perfect as a gusetbook for a wonderful wedding.

Albumul cu floarea soarelui l-am trimis ca si cadou si cred ca se potriveste foarte bine ca si album de impresii.

This is a design I`ve made some time ago and I love it so much. These days i`ve been working to some new designs on the same colors. Now, I want to try something on emerald green since it`s the color of the year. 

I just love the idea of a color for every year.

Este un model care imi place foarte mult. Zilele acestea am creat ceva nou pe aceleasi culori. Imi doresc sa incerc ceva si pe verde smarald daca tot e culoarea anului. 

Chiar imi place ideea aceasta de a exista o culoare a anului.

Women day flowers / Flori de ziua femeii

Long live all the women! We celebrate women today and it`s a beautiful way of saying welcome to spring!

La Multi Ani! tuturor femeilor! Sarbatorim ziua femeii azi si cred ca e o ocazie atat de frumoasa sa-i uram primaverii Bun venit!

While preparing the flowers for the spring cards I thought it would be great to gather them all and take some pictures. This is how I got to make this tiny bouquet. 

In timp ce pregateam florile pentru felicitarile de anul acesta m-am gandit ca ce bine ar arata sa le adun intr-un buchet si sa le fac niste poze. Asa am ajuns sa fac acest buchetel.

I always thought this type of flowers look like rosebuds. 

Other ideas? 

Intotdeauna am avut impresia ca florile acestea arata ca niste boboci de trandafir.

Mai aveti si alte idei cu ce flori ar semana?

Two years ago I did something like this on a (much) smaller scale - here

Am facut ceva asemanator acum doi ani, la o scara (mult) mai mica - aici

I wish to all of you, my dears lady friends, a wonderful spring and years of happiness!

Va doresc tuturor, dragele mele prietene, o primavara minunata si ani plini de bucurie!

Paper snowdrop bouquet

Mai este doar o saptamana pana la Martisorul nostru drag. E o zi speciala pentru mine. Intotdeauna imi aminteste de copilarie. Imi aminteste de ghiocei si de plimbarile cu tata prin padure, in cautarea lor. Si mai ales ziua de 1 Martie imi aminteste de prima zi din viata mea cand am avut o stare eterica, imi aminteste de o prima zi in care am simtit ca este ceva special in aer... O stare de bine inexplicabila. Nu eram indragostita. Abia ce ajunsesem acasa de la scoala, eram singura, aveam vreo 10 ani si dintr-o data m-a cuprins o stare de bucurie. Venise de nicaieri. Imi face asa de bine sa-mi amintesc acea stare, iar cand vine martisorul parca imi e si mai accesibila.


One week separates us from the 1st of March. Such a special day, always reminds me of childhood. It reminds about snowdrops and walks in the forest with my father. And most of all that day reminds me about the first day I felt something special was in the air... My first good, special mood. I`ve got home from school, I was alone, the sun was stronger and I felt something like a huge happiness. No, I wasn`t in love. That mood striked me (in a good sense) because it came from nowhere and had no real reason. I was around 10. It was special. And I enjoy remembering that mood, and when the 1st of March arrives it`s even easier to live it again.

Bun. Acum ca am terminat cu partea mai literara (ma stiti deja cu pasiunea mea pentru scris) sa trecem la lucruri serioase. Am facut un buchet de ghiocei pe care abia am astept sa vi-l arat. Mie imi place asa de mult!!!

Ok. Now that I`m done with literary aspects (you know I enjoy writing) let`s talk about serious things. Here is a snowdrop bouquet I`ve made. I just couldn`t waited and wanted to show it as soon as possible. I`ve made it today. Quick pictures and here it is!



Mi-am dorit o vaza mai speciala pentru poze, dar nu am avut asa ca am luat ce mi-a fost la indemana. Prefer cana bej, dar imi place mult si paharul. Voua care va place mai mult?

I wanted a special vase for the pictures but didn`t have it so I used what was around. I prefer the beige pot but I admit the glass looks great too. Which one do you prefer?

Everyday is a Journey

Fara quilling azi :) Sunt niste felicitari care asteapta sa le public asa ca nu le mai pot tine ascunse. Acest mesaj ma face sa ma simt atat de bine de fiecare data cand il citesc. Si imi place din ce in ce mai mult sa ma joc cu aceste bucati printate. Imi place sa combin mesaje tiparite impreuna cu alte elemente astfel incat la final felicitarea sa aiba un aspect hand-made.

Pentru acestea am folosit tus distress, sfoara, stampile, nasturi si margele. Ca intotdeauna, imi ador creatiile! Si incerc sa imi imaginez cum se simt oamenii cand primesc felicitari ca acestea.



No quilling for today :) I have some cards that are waiting to appear here so I can`t let them wait anymore. This message makes me feel so good everytime I read it. And I enjoy more and more playing with these printed pieces of paper. I like to use printed messages together with other elements so that the final card will a have a clear hand-made touch.

For these ones I used distress ink, hemp, stamps, buttons, beads and brads. Like always, I love them all! And I imagine the way people feel when receive cards like these ones.

Love, love, love

Va spun inca de la inceput ca nu sunt fan Ziua Indragostitilor! Mie imi place dragostea si punct. Dragostea pura. Si consider aceasta sarbatoarea (sau traditionalul nostru Dragobete)o ocazie minunata de a-ti impartasi sentimentele pentru persoana iubita. Intotdeauna cand gasesc scrisori vechi de la iubitul meu (actual sot) ma simt tanara, ca o adolescenta, fericita si indragostita! E asa de fain s agasesti felicitari vechi si mesaje de dragoste prin cutia cu amintiri. Asa ca incurajez pe toata lumea sa daruiasca de ocazille speciale persoanei iubite o felicitare cu multe cuvinte de dragoste si pretuire. Ca si vinul bun, felicitarea va deveni si mai pretioasa cu trecerea timpului.

I want to make it clear from the very begining! I`m not a big fan of Valentine`s Day. I just love love. Pure love. And I consider this occasion (or our local holiday from February 24 Dragobete) a great occasion to share your feelings. Everytime I find old letters from my boyfriend (now my husband) I feel so young and happy and in love! So I encourage everyone to give on special ocasions to the dear ones, a card with many beautyful deep words. Like wine, the card will become more precious with time.

Imbratisari,
Hugs,
Anca

Love cards

You know... Valentine`s day is coming. I`ve managed to make some cards with hearts. Red hearts. Painted stems (already a tradition for every spring) and quilled leaves.

Love them so much!



Ziua Indragostitilor se apropie. Am reusit sa fac niste felicitari cu inimioare. Inimioarea rosii. Am pictat tulpinitele (este deja o traditie ca in fiecare primavara sa fac felicitari cu tulpini pictate) si am pus frunzulite quilling.

Imi plac atat de mult!!!

There are more from the same collection.
I just love making them only that I`m not very good at painting. I`ve already accepted that I`m not a pateient crafter :)

Sunt mai multe din aceeasi colectie.
Imi place foarte mult sa le fac numai ca nu sunt prea buna la pictura. Am acceptat de multa vreme ca sunt un mester cam nerabdator :)


Salutari si vine primavara!!!
Warm hugs! I`m happy that spring is comming!
