"Discover-live dream" & "Roadtrip" - Scrapmatts



"Discover, live, dream"
Hello my friends!!xx
This is one of my favorite layouts!! It is about me and my adventurous spirit!!
I like travelling, exploring, trying new things and dare!!! I have many dreams yet to accomplish but that keeps me going!!
For this layout I have used LOTS of beautiful Scrapmatts pieces!!!
CB4050 Assorted Words 03, CB5021 Nested Shapes 07, CB1136 Assorted Words 02, ATC10-022 Film Strip 06, CB5035 Hot Air Balloons 01
As you see, the film strip frame and the star are left raw!! The air balloon and the word "Dream" were painted white, then I applied some glimmer glam (tattered angels) randomly and went around the edges with black ink.

These gorgeous flowers, doilies, buttons and washi tape are all Purple Pumpkin!!!!!!
Would you like to WIN some??? Come and play along at our sketch challenge which is open to everyone!!!!

**************
Every year we travel to my husband's village by car at least 4 times!! It is a 4 hour trip and it has become a routine for us and thankfully for the kids too!!
"Road trip"
This layout was a challenge for our DT. We could not use any embellies and only 2 pieces of patterned paper. Well, instead of paper I have used a little bit of washi tape from Purple Pumpkin...I hope you like it!! I had so much fun making it!!
I have used CB4051 Assorted Words 04, CB1072 Gears 01, CB5021 Nested Shapes 07

The star & small gear were painted with red acrylic paint, the edges with black ink and I went over it with some stickles to make it shine. The negative piece of the gears was painted black and randomly painted red. The title pieces were sprayed with dylusions turquoise and yellow which gave them a gorgeous green color!!!
The background was made using stamps, mists and a studio Calico "sun" stencil!

I hope you have enjoyed my post!!!
Huggggssss!!!!xx

Hello my friends!!!

I have neglected my blog a little bit but only due to damned gastro...
My youngest had gastro, then my hubby and now my eldest...lol... I am the only one still standing!!! :P

This is the layout I made for my Nephew whose name is actually Angelos-Erotokritos so I named it...

"Angel Eros"

It is my DT work for Scrapfriends and this is the amazing sketch by Angela Star:

To make it I have used strips of paper by Glitz designs, a bit of mist drops and some stamping!!

The lovely embellies are Purple Pumpkin!! Vinyl cog, black spotty button, baby button, flair button.
