Featured at The Color Room and Top Designer at Yummys ;)

Oi meninas,

Nossa, essa semana estou surpresa! Que alegria...dois destaques!
Um no Yummys...estou no Top Designer 41, escolhida pela queridíssima Maísa Mendonça que adoro...aqui os comentários da Maísa, que escolheu meu layout acima:

This week came with great news, I was featured in two places! One at our local forum, Yummys where I had the layout above choosen among other favorites for the Top Designer week 41, choosen by Maisa Mendonça.

"Escolha de: Maísa Mendonça


Designer: Fabi Ormerod

Título:Sleeping beauty

Comentário: Amei o colorido da página! A moldura de polaroid deixou a página bem equilibrada, trazendo o foco para a foto, mesmo a Fabi tendo usada elementos e papéis bem coloridos!

Parabéns Fabi! Ficou lindíssima! bjo"

E essa semana resolvi participar pela primeira vez na vida do The Color Room, na paleta 123...adivinhem o que aconteceu, ontem abro meus emails e leio isso: (quase tive um troço hahaahah não acreditei):   And this week I tried to participate of The Color Room for the first time and what a surprise, my layout was choosen and feature! I almost didnt believed when I read in the newsletter!
"This week we have some wonderful pages very deserving of being featured...

Fabi Ormerod - Simple yet striking! - Pois é, sou euzinha mesmo hahahahahahah

Um ótimo final de semana para todas! A great weekend to you all!

Beijos/ Kisses!

 

Amo muito tudo isso!/I love this all so much!

Oi meninas,

E aí, todo mundo curtindo o solzinho delicioso que anda fazendo estes dias? Eu estou amando...e com o sol tudo fica melhor, parece até que o humor da gente melhora, a inspiração vem, rs.
Eu estu na fase de usar todos os retalhos por aqui para abrir mais espaço e também economizar. Uma das minhas formas preferidas de usar retalhos é fazendo minis, acho que rende muito!
Nesse final de semana (ontem) fiz esse mini que estava encantando. Era para ser uma aula na Carol mas quando meu secador de emboss queimou perdi os prazos, agora graças a Rosana Pedrão e um secador emprestado, o mini saiu rs.
Na capa de pet clear da Arte.1 eu fiz um fundo usando textura da True Colors e máscara da Arte.1 (amo!). Depois de secar com o secador de emboss com cuidado (para não derreter o pet...), passei 2 tons de spray/mist e sequei novamente. Apliquei ums blings da Zva Creative e finalizei com o título da Arte.1 e umas carimbadas com stazon para dar um charme.
Nesse close dá para perceber melhor a textura. (On this close you can see how Ive created a nice texture on this clear mini album front page. Ive misted over the texture to add some color too!)

E dentro do mini vamos aproveitar os retalhos! Eu fiz um mini usando várias fotos que tirei com o Instagram esse ano...fotos do meu dia a dia mesmo, por isso o título do mini foi Life. O mini fala sobre fazer scrap, viajar, meu amor pela família, amigos, o ano que a UpStyle começou e algumas outras coisas legais.

(Iam trying to use all my paper scraps in order to make a better use of my stash, and to do such I love to make mini albuns. So Ive made this one about some of my faves things about my life and used some of this year Instagram pictures. An easy way to make a quick mini album saving some money!)

O mini ficou com várias páginas internas duplas então está bem recheadinho, coloquei acima só alguns sneaks para dar uma idéia de alguns detalhes que usei, fitas, carimbadas e retalhos de papel.

Outra forma de usar retalhos que gosto bastante é aproveitar com os furadores para fazer formar e enfeitar o layout. Esse layout abaixo é inspirado em um layout que vi no site da Maisa Mendonça, scrapper que admiro muito, ela fez um layout masculino que tinha muitas formas redondas. Eu fiz a mão um sketch das formas principais e alterei outras coisas para dar a minha cara ao layout (como as bandeirinhas, uso da fita e do bling).

Usei os retalhos para furar os vários círculos e como no layout da Maisa, dividi os círculos ao meio para criar uma borda para a foto, achei que ficou bem legal. Usei os outros círculos distribuidos pelo layout e mais retalhos para fazer as bandeirinhas. Para finalizar carimbadas (sempre né? rs) e as bandeirinhas que tanto gosto usando fita banana para dar volume na camada de cima delas.(dá para ver melhor no detalhe).

On this layout below you can see another way to make a goos use of paper scraps: take your punches and make several shapes than use them to create borders and/or to embellish your page. This page I have made inspired in a layout made by Maisa Mendonça whese she uses several circles. I hand draw a sketch of her layout to lift it but then added my own touches like washi tape, blings, etc.

Cansaram??? Esse post está grande não é? Tem mais...

Vou deixar então para o próximo e aqui ficam 2 sneaks de um layout que adorei fazer...novamente usando retalhos e cheio de pequenos detalhes, que adoro.

Id leave you all today with 2 sneaks of another layout Ive did lately...with close ups of some details (i love how the details can make a difference in a layout!)



Uma boa semana para todas!/Wishing you all a great week ;)

Um layout especial/A special layout

Oi meninas,

Durante as férias aproveitei para relaxar e colocar o scrap em dia...também, com o frio que fez aqui, só mesmo fazendo scrap e ficando em casa rsrs.
Eu estava com essa foto da Jujuba (minha sobrinha) para fazer um lo e ainda não tinha batido a inspiração e nessa de usar os papéis antigos um dia ela veio. Combinei esses papéis de cores alegrinhas, furei umas flores de base para as rosinhas da Zva creative e o layout saiu.
Dei alguams carimbaradas de flores para completar e terminei com uns doodles de cristal da Zva, que adoro!
E aí, gostaram? é um layout simples de fazer, mas cheio de carinho e amor pela minha pequena :)

Beijos e um ótimo domingo para vocês!

English short version

As Im on vacation, I've been scrapbooking a lot and using all my old stach. So Ive choosen two bright color papers and also punched some flowers to be used as base for my Zva little roses (I love!) to make this layout for my little niece.
Ive finished with some flower stamps and also embellished with this awsome green Zva flourish.

Kisses to you all and tks for stopping by!

Férias e Layouts!/Vacation & Layouts

Oi meninas,

Tudo bem? Muito frio pelas terras de vocês? Aqui em Curitiba a gente tá congelando, nossa...
Eu estou de férias, pós lua de mel (pois é gente, casei dia 30!!!! estou muito feliz!), uma beleza.
Muito scrap e cobertas hahahaha.
O layout acima fiz inspirada no desafio lá do Yummys, tinha que usar papel de seda. Vocês vão ver que to colocando os papéis velhos fora da gaveta, dá-lhe recortar coleção antiga, vamos renovar rsrsrs.
O layout abaixo é bem a minha cara, cheio de carimbos, tintas e texturas. Fiz o fundo usando a máscara de engrenagens da Arte.1 - adoro! Adorei o efeito final. O fundo foi todo recoberto com tons diferentes dos inkpads da Ranger/Tim Holtz, usei o jogo de 3 que saiu no Natal, as cores exclusivas estavam lindas.

E aqui 2 sneaks de uma aulinha que estou dando aqui em casa essa semana...um layout cheio de camadas, carimbos, doodles, máscaras e misting.

E vocês, muito scrap nessas férias de julho?
Beijocas para todas!

This is my project...
Francis and I concluded a cristian course from MMI called Married forever. It took 13 week and it inspired us a lot. For our "graduation" night, I was asked to create layouts for all couples that joinned us, as a gift so we all remember the course. And I needed to create a gift for me too - that was fun.

Here a close up on the lovely bling I used. I have added it close to the heart, to give motion to the page and to add the "feeling" that the heart was flying...something like that!
