"Once Upon A Sketch" 15th of September.

September 15th Challenge + YOUR CHANCE TO PICK THE WINNER

Welcome to our next challenge for the month of September! The members of the Design Team have been thinking of ways to throw some twists in how we pick the winner. We thought it would be fun for you all out there to pick the winner! This challenge will end on the 29th of September , which is 2 weeks from today and you will all have a chance to vote for the winner and Top 5 projects for one whole day on the 30th of September before the new challenge is posted on the 1st of October.

The catch here is that everyone can only vote 1 time, but of course you can get everyone you know to vote for you! As it gets closer to the day I will remind you all, and we just cannot wait to see who you will pick!

So on to our September 15th challenge.

"Share"*Bird is the word"

I would like to thank you all for your lovely comments! They make my day! I would love to visit your blogs and leave some love, but I can't always find the time to do so...I am so sorry! This past week I had both my children with fever (laryngitis) and so many projects to finish...so I hope you understand... I really appreciate your support! I am so lucky to have made so many friends around the world through blogging and scrapbooking! It's really amazing! Thank you!

Enough of that....Let's go to the fun stuff!!!

A new word is revealed at "Bird is the word" challenge blog....

"SHARE"

As you will see in our design team examples, this word can be used in many, many ways in many different directions.

To participate, please use the word SHARE on a layout or project as your titling or journaling and link your image up to our blog.  Also, please remember to give Bird is the Word credit on your blog when posting your  image.  At the end of the challenge, a winner and featured winners will be chosen by our design team.  The winner will receive a prize from Tidbitz In Time.

And here is my take...You must be tired of my wedding photos but I am trying to make an album...sorry...hehe

I used the sketch and color combo from "Sketchy Thursdays" and I am entering so I could hopefully be their guest designer next month!

 

I don't usually use these colors and I am really happy I had the chance to do so!

I loved playing with this combo! I hope you liked it!

Thanks for your visit!

Have a great creative week!!!

Guest Designer for "Berry71bleu Pages"

Hello sweet friends and followers!

I had the honor and the luck to be invited by the sweetest person Marivic Clifton to guest design for her blog "Berry71bleu Pages". She owns an ETSY store with unique handmade tags and layouts! She was kind and generous enough to send me two of her tags to make two layouts and a pizza box full of yummy papers and embellishments! THANK you so much Marivic!!! I appreciate it!

The challenge in her blog for September, is to be inspired by this photo and also create 3 handmade flowers. I made 3 flowers in my second layout!

The colors I used are similar but after taking pictures of my projects, the colors are not as in real life....sorry...

that cute little chipboard butterfly is Imaginarium designs!

And here is a small tutorial on how to make the flowers!

Use a flower die, or 3 different sized flower punches, or even  cut by hand, 2 sets of 3 flowers.

Also cut (once) 3 tule flowers.

 Spray them with little water and crumple them.

Put them all together like this (2 big 1 tule-2medium 1tule-2 small 1 tule)

And use a stapler to hold them together!

In the center you can put a bling, a button, a brad,

whatever you like and it is ready just as simple as that!

With that layout I am entering My Minds Eye sketch challenge
and to ScrapFIT for using strips!

Thanks for visiting! I am sorry for the long post!
Enjoy your weekend and have fun scrapping!!!
Hugsss!!!

Recycle time!!!*Scrap for help*

Hello my lovely friends!

The sweetest person Cynthia Lorens was kind enough to ask me to join her design team at "Scrap for help"!

This was very flattering and I am really honored to be a part of this wonderful and talented DT!!!

Thank you so much Cynthia!!!

This site is about scrapping for a good cause! There are challenges where you are asked to use recycled items! I am into recycle at home since I have two seperate buskets for my garbage!

This month the theme was "spring" so I made a layout about Easter!

The recycled items I used are, pizza box for my background, small purple flowers from house decor item, the leaves are cut out of a magazine and the tag, up on the left corner, is from a dress I bought.

I used the sketch from the new challenge blog "My creative sketches"

One more beer **The Scrappiest**

Hello my friends!

I have mixed feelings about this post as it is the last one I do as a member of "The Scrappiest" design team...

It was really fun to use Liz's inspirational sketches and I will definitely continue to use them!!!

I would like to thank Liz for giving me the opportunity to be a designer for the fist time and trusted me although I had no designing experience back then! I am really grateful!

So...here is sketch # 135

And this is my take using Echo Park "For the record", one of my favorite collections!!!

This is Nefeli when we visited Aigina...I wish I knew Aleka then, so I could visit her!!!

Maybe some other time!!!

 

This the collection and you can find it ---->HERE....believe me, you will love it!!!

There are also 3 small kits available at "Enjoy Scrapping" so hurry up!!!----HERE
