Welcome my little princess *Berry71Bleu*!!!


Hello my lovely followers!

As promised, I have used the amazing tag that I showed you on the blog hop! The colors are soft but happy and I just had to use a baby photo!!! 
This is my youngest DD Ioli about one month old!!!


Here is a close up of the unique tag that only Marivic can make!!!!!!


Unfortunately, I don't own a sewing machine so I used a stamp all around the edges of my page to imitate stitching!




To see how to create these ruffles to give dimension to your circle, click for a tutorial --->HERE!
The background of my circle, was made using a Prima brick mask. I applied some glossy medium with a brush and then I used a sponge to apply distress ink because the medium acts as a resist! (I hope you understand,please excuse my English..LOL)


Don't forget about our chipboard challenge over at Berry 71 Bleu blog!! You have a few days left! And the prize from Wycinanka is soooo yummy!!!!


Materials used:
Papers: Fancy Pants, Webster's pages
letter stickers: Echo Park
Stickers (banner): Fancy Pants
Flowers, brick mask, bling, gate stamp: Prima
Big blue flower, pink trim (right top corner): Webster's pages
Stitch stamp: Sassafrass Lass
Butterfly punces: Martha Stewart
Border punch: EK Success
Glimmer mist: Tattered Angels

Have a nice day!!!
Hugs from Greece!!!!

Scrapbooking Memories magazine!!!


Many Australian friends congratulated me (here and in facebook and I appreciate it) for my 1st publication in Scrapbooking memories which is an awesome Australian Magazine! 
I was SO frustrated because I would be the last one to see it since they will send me the magazine much later...Thankfully my Aussie friends are just WONDERFUL and I am referring to Lizzy Hill who scanned the page for me, even though I never asked her to, and she sent it to me by email!

So...here it goes!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel SO proud!
Watch out for me again in Vol 14 No. 11 (on sale 08/08/2012)


Thank you all for your love and support!
I LOVE you too!!!!!
