"Checklist" - OUAS & CSI challenges

Hello again!

I decided to combine two GREAT challenges  which happen to work really good together at the moment!

I love these two challenge blogs because they urge you to do some journaling on your pages which I think is very important to scrapbooking! It is all about preserving our memories and the story behind the photos right???

So I am using sweet Nadia's sketch from "Once Upon A Sketch" and the theme "Summer".

And I am using the colors from "CSI" 

CSI

Color: I have used all of the colors plus a little orange which does not cover more than 10% of my layout.

Evidence: 

• wood/woodgrain (wooden ice cream & heart)
• liquid medium (paint, mist, etc.)
• distressing
• Use repetition of an element.(circles,flowers, pom-pom,stamps)
• circles 
• Use a solid background 
• Include parallel lines (The pom-pom trims).

Testimony: 

• Document a vacation.
• Inspiration Words: vacation -- use these as inspiration for your journaling

And this is my take! 

It is my DD Nefeli and Lena's (my friend) DS Nicolas in Samos last year!

This Purple Pumpkin button was a perfect match for this layout!

The cutest little Purple Pumpkin pirate!!!

Here you can see a few PP tickets!

I have used the "summer papers" kit from Enjoy Scrapping!

Materials used:
Papers: Echo Park (Summer papers by Enjoy Scrapping)
Flowers, pom-pom trim, bling: Prima
Buttons, tickets: Purple Pumpkin
Stamps: Glitz & (I will edit later..sorry)
Chipboard: Imaginarium Designs
Mist: Tattered Angels
Gesso, acrylic paint: Ranger

Thank you for visiting my blog!!!

See you soon!!

Hello my friends!

Happy woman's day!!!!!

 As you can see I have been busy...the next few months will be SOOO creative!!!

I am just happy I feel better emotionally and I feel creative! If only I had more free time..If only I could be a "Stay at home mum"...LOL!!!

This is a layout I created for our favorite Greek online shop "Enjoy Scrapping"!!! Make sure to stop by their blog because they have a yummy giveaway especially for woman's day! *unfortunately this does not apply to international scrappers*.

I used the kit "Be Amazing" that features the FANTASTIC My Mind's Eye papers! I am in LOVE with ALL their new collections!!! This one is supposed to be mostly for boys but as you know, I have two little girls!! That did not bother me at all, since the papers are so versatile!!

So, here is a layout with my precious little sweet face Ioli!!!!

Everything I have used is included in the kit except the twine/string on the buttons. Even the yellow glimmer mist is part of the kit! Unfortunately it was sold out within just a few hours...WOW...so you must be quick each time a new kit is available!! Don't forget to check your email notifications and facebook!!

 Here is a photo of the kit:

Materials used:


Paper: My Mind's Eye
Die cuts: MME
Buttons: MME
Bling: MME
Mist: Tattered Angels

Sketch from Scrapfit which I rotated:

I hope you like it! It is one of my favorites!!!

 I just love the colors! It was a change for me because I usually use girly colors!!!

Have a nice day!!!

"You are the one" - *Enjoy Scrapping*

Hello my friends & followers!

If anyone is wondering where I've been...all I can say is I'm still here, struggling with everyday life's issues, not anything serious but many little things that gather up and make a pile...and then you explode...I've been a bit down lately...but I am raising up, day by day...slow but steady...I hope...! You know that I try to keep this blog only to scrapbooking stuff and this is why I never speak about personal things or I rarely post any photos...so I will not get into details...

SO!!!!!!!! Let's move on to the exciting stuff, shall we?????


A new kit full of happy and bright colors (which helps the mood) is available at Enjoy Scrapping!!! Watch the video that is provided to see how many fun embellishments you can find in it!!!

And here is an example of what you can do with all these stuff!!!
(sorry for the bad photos but it is very cloudy here)...

Use the tag as an embellishment! Paint it with colors that match your papers and tack it in there!! I did the same with that gorgeous big chip key!

Use the wooden hearts as masks and play with your mists! DON'T be afraid!!!
I did a little stamping as well with this lovely heart that's included in the kit!

And I also made a little card using this gorgeous floral paper!

Materials used:

Patterned paper: Basic Grey

Letter stickers: Basic Grey

Element stickers: Basic Grey

Flowers: Prima, Petaloo

Mists: Tattered Angels (starfish, lily pad)
