Choose Life – March OUAS challenge

Hello everyone!

Today I will show you my take on the OUAS March challenge. This time apart form the beautiful sketch by the talented Nadia Cannizzo, the theme was a quote “You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough”. I dont really know why, it is one of those moments where your heart takes over and emotions burst… I immediately thought of my best friend who lost the battle with depression about eight years ago and is now an angel… An angel up in the sky who takes care of my baby girl… All those years I never found the courage to scrap a photo of her but now was the time… No matter what I did, it wasn't enough… I am sorry sweetie, I miss you so much!!!

My page was inspired by the great tutorial of Georgia Heald from Pop and Colors II. I used the Maja Designs Sofiero Collection and some Prima blooms and embellishments. Here is my page

My journaling is on the back. I am so sorry for the emotional post but some things cannot be forgotten or left behind…

Bye for now…

Smile – WW1 March challenge

Hello everyone! Today I have a layout to show you that was created for the White with 1 March challenge, featuring color "latte". I loved the color and I couldn't resist playing!

I applied my favorite crackles paste in a thin layer so I would get small crackles and using one of my favorite prima masks I made a brick wall on my page. I misted and then stamped with black and latte. Finally I added the 13arts glass filler for some extra texture.
Some close ups

I hope you enjoyed my layout!

You and Me = Delight

Hello everyone! Today I will show you a mixed media page that was inspired by the Pop and Colors 2 workshop and the gorgeous Prima February mood board. I used mint, coral and cinnamon mist as well as a finnabair stencil for my background. I wanted the page to have an "airy" feel to match the pastel colors so I filled it with butterflies coming alive from the stencil but I curled them up and only glued the center of them. The chipboard was gessoed and then painted with picket fence crackle paint. After that, it was stamped with a script stamp and dabbed randomly with chalk ink. This photo is of my oldest son and it was taken a year ago. Hidden journaling is on the back.

Joy & happiness – GD at WW1

Hello! Today I want to show you a layout I made as Guest Designer for White with 1. February’s color is the lush grape and I have lots of fun playing with it! The only color I used is Dylusions’ Crushed Grape. I misted my page with lots of Dylusions mist and plenty of water and used my Finnabair stencil. I applied crackle paste on some of the butterflies and heat embossed with white powder with a prima text stamp. I matted my photo on corrugated chipboard which I had painted with picket fence crackle paint. I did the same on my ID chipboard and on the words Joy & happiness. Most of the products you can find at the Scraps n Pieces online shop.

Mini me – SIG and C’est magnifique

Hello everyone! This is going to be the quickest post ever, I have a deadline to catch! :)

Scrapbookers in Greece January challenge was a sweet one, to scrap ourselves during our childhood and since we all got two days extra time I thought I should give it a shot. This page was supposed to be not filled with flowers (lol I swear I started that way) and it took me all day because in the mean time I fed two babies three times, changed endless nappies and even cleaned vomits. Oh my, it’s tough to be a mommy!

I also used C’est Magnifique’s February sketch as an inspiration. I used a past kit (sorry, no time to find which month) and I combined it with February’s mixed media kit. Oh I loved the pearlising modeling paste and the shimmerz!!! I apologize for the photo, it is already nighttime here…

This is pretty much a traditional scrapbooking page. I like this style, I am not into all the mixed media madness, I go as far as modeling paste and stenciling lol, and let me tell you sometimes it feels lonely. Occasionally I love experimenting (please check my next post for WW1) but this is my style and I intend to stay true and loyal to it. Lets see how the future goes…
