"Having fun" - Scrap for Help and a GDT spot!!! WOOHOO!


Hello friends!!!

First of all I would like to say that I went to a crop on Saturday at a friend's house and I had LOTS of fun, scrapping,eating GOOD food and laughing with spicy jokes..hehe

It is time for a new challenge over at "Scrap for Help"! You have to scrap about children and use a packaging piece on your layout! Easy peasy...at least for me because I like using scrapbooking packaging and of course I always scrap about my children!!!

In this layout I used a Prima packsging which is black with white dots, right behind the photos!
Head on over to SFH blog to get inspired by the wonderful projects the other DT girls have made! You should participate in order to win some yummy stuff like "Imaginarium Designs" chipboard which I LOVE and I have used in this layout!

 The title is ID chipboard!
 In the picture below I used ID girl figure and the black button!



This lovely butterfly is also ID...


 
If that layout seems familiar to you, then I should tell you that I decided to continue the story of my last layout (see previous post) and make it a double!!!

So this is actually my first double layout, although it wasn't planned from the beginning..LOL


So...what do you think? I did a lot of hand stitching and I loved all the journaling and of course my new addiction to handmade embellies!!!
Is this style called eclectic? I am so confused with all these styles out there...What would YOU call this layout's style???

And with that said (about my new addiction)....

The wonderfull and sweet ladies from Purple Pumpkin Sandra and Samantha,  have asked me to guest design for them for a whole month! WOOHOO! Their most popular items, are their fabric covered buttons, and handmade flowers! They really focus on creating unique handmade embellishments for scrapbooking!
Aren't they SOOOO YUMMY??????????
You will be seeing some of these beautiful embellishments in the upcoming months!
Thank you ladies for that great honor and mostly for the opportunity to work with such beautiful stuff!!!

I hope you enjoyed this post!
Have a nice day!!!
Hugsss!!
