My guilty pleasure ...

Hello everyone!

This is my entry for two different challenges, one over at OUAS June challenge and the other for Berry71bleu June challenge summer theme .

When summer comes here in Greece ( ..and it comes early and last loooong ), you just have to spent time by the sea, swimming, sunbathing and of course drinking your favorite cold coffee while you relax on the beach. This is the thing I love to do most in summer, that's my little guilty pleasure !

I used this great polka dot paper , stickers and tags from 7 Dots Studio "Hopefully " collection, my favorite brown Prima flowers, some handmade paper and clay flowers and other stuff that live on my desk and in my drawers.

...button and lace "stolen" from my mothers house....don't tell her....

...it's impossible to do without...

My layout is based on the OUAS sketch,

Thank so much for stopping by !! Have a nice evening - day - week !!

Challenge me Happy #46 - Water

  Hello everybody! This is my entry for the Challenge #46  at Challenge me Happy, where the theme is WATER! Since the summer is almost here and the weather is getting warmer, I chose my layout to be ispired by the sea and the joy of playing with the waves! The girl in the photo is my favorite young cousin Marina, ( ..my personal scrapbooking model : p) whose name means "  from the sea", and I think that the camera really caught her at the right moment!!

Water layout

Lace , decorative branches, gears and pearls with looooots of gel medium an gesso

I painted the composition with my tattered angel mists using a brush and added some sand here end there. The sand was gathered from a nearby beach and painted blue with my acrylics.

I used aquarelle paper and water colours for the background and gave a try on the "salt technique" which I found HERE.

 I tried some mixed media techniques for the first time on this one ... I 'll try to improve myself though, I promise!

Thank you very very much for visiting!

Challenge Me Happy #45

   Καλησπέρα και πάλι!

Ενώ όλο λέω να ξεκουραστώ και να χαλαρώσω, το χειροτεχνικό μικρόβιο δεν με αφήνει σε ησυχία...οπότε έφτιαξα ακόμη ένα LO το οποίο πιστεύω να είναι και το τελευταίο για αυτό το μήνα. Την ιδέα μου την έδωσε η πρόκληση #45 του Challenge Me Happy με το LO της Marie Johansson και αυτή είναι η συμμετοχή μου.

  Hello my scrapfriends!

This is my entry for the challenge #45 on Challenge Me Happy, where we must scraplift  a LO made by Marie Johansson. I do not have a machine to make any stitches, although I really love them on scrapbooking projects. Instead, I cut with my punch some aluminium flowers and I carved them, scratched them and inked them. Now you just have to use your imagination and make yourself believe that they are stitched !!!
