Hello everyone!

Today is the 1st of August and we have a new challenge for you at Scrap Africa!

This is Marta's sketch... 

...very beautiful and fits in every style, don't you think?

For my page I used a lot of stamps (as always:) and a single mask with my gelatos to create a mixed media background. A couple of buttons, a paperclip, a decorative pin, a few black sequins and some stickers is everything else I put on my page. 

I hope you like it and play with us!

Have fun!

Hello friends!

This is a layout I made and inspired from this beautiful sketch from Scrap365 challenge blog... 

The paper I used is from 7Dots Studio Domestic Goddess collection incorporated with  Nature walk collection stickers.  I also used white gesso and mists for masking and did a lot of stamping as always... This is my second entry at 7 Dots Studio July's challenge, I just can't have enough :)

That's it for today, hope you like it!

cherries

Hello everyone and have a nice July!

I can't believe that the first month of the summer is already gone...

Anyway, this is my page for our sketch challenge at Scrap Africa: cherries!

This is the sketch Denice created and as you can see it requires two photos...

...but I decided to use a single photo and cut it in two pieces to create the two photos effect.

I don't know who is the manufacturer of the paper I used for my page, but I really like it because it fits perfectly with the retro feel I wanted to give. I incorporated it with some 7Dots Studio (Domestic Goddess collection) stickers, alphas and chipboard pieces and a piece of green paper (Basic Grey 'Origins'). Of  course I did a lot of stamping and masking and had a great time...:) 

I think now it is your turn to create something beautiful,

just beautiful...

Hello scrappy friends!

Today I'm sharing a layout I made just for fun :)

A few days ago my daughter had her school summer event, where she had to impersonate 'the girl with the starfish'. I made her a yellow wreath for the head and attached some starfishes. The photos we took were amazing, she was so beautiful and shinny and happy...!

So, when I saw the mood board at Scrap Around The World I knew that I had to scrap with these photos. I got inspired from the amazing color combination, as well as from the summer mood these photos get you into. And I think my photos are a perfect match for this, don't you think?

 With this page I 'm also joining the challenge of 7 Dots Studio which requests stamping. Well, as you can see I made a lot of it, as usual... :)

So, this is my take on these two challenges.

I hope you like it and get some ideas :)

Remember Always

Hello everyone!

Today is Scrap Africa's new challenge reveal and the sketch is absolutely gorgeous!! 

When I saw Denise's sketch it came straight in my mind this photo, which I have found in an old album at my parent's house. This album belonged to my beloved grandma who died at the age of 94 (I can' t believe that 11 years have past since then) and is full of original vintage photos of her life.  She was born at 1909- you can imagine how old are they, they will not even need to be distressed! Now all these photos (and there are a lot of them) are in my hands and I' m going to make an album for them... Well, these are my first two pages and there are going to be a lot more of them :)

To the sketch now: I think it can be interpreted in so many ways not only because it is beautifully designed, but also because it has this 60's vibe going on there, which I absolutely adore. So whatever your style is, it would be a perfect base to work with. I can' t wait to see what you will come up with it!
