Family photo

Hello everyone!

Today we have a new challenge at Frosted Designs: Thanks with a twist. Use word THANKS (or THANKFUL or THANKSGIVING, THANK YOU...etc) AND the twist....You must also use one of the following:  Ribbon/Trim, Twine or Washi Tape.

I wrote the word 'thankful' and used washi tape.

This time I did a lot of doodling on my page in order to match the photo which has a line drawing family, my family :)

I feel it's like a kindergarten here, but that's exactly what I had in mind, something colorful and fun to bring happy feelings.

For my page I followed this simply beautiful sketch from The Studio Challenges

Thank you very much for stopping by today,

have a beautiful rest of the day! 

Enjoy the winter

Hello everyone! 

This is my page for our new challenge at Scrap Africa:

The challenge is to use at least two tags on your project.

I used 8 cloth tags with which I created the layers of my composition.

This time I decided to use a lot of flowers - at least they are a lot to me, as I usually don't prefer flowers on my projects- and as always some stamps (frames, cogs and text) and a lot of gesso.

The paper is from 7Dots Messy Head collection and I absolutely love it!

I also used some chipboard cogs and a couple of handmade hearts, buttons and paper clips.

That's all really!

With my page I'm joining the Scrapki Wyzwaniowo challenge where we have to use cogs.

So, we are looking forward to see your creations at Scrap Africa:

grab your tags and get creative!

Have a beautiful weekend!

it's a dream

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I'm hosting the Frosted Designs blog with a layout about a dream I had since I was a little girl. I love everything about ballet: watching ballerinas dancing, the costumes, the music... Unfortunately I didn't have the  chance to learn ballet and now it's only a dream never came true. But the good thing is that my 5 years old daughter takes ballet classes and I love watching her dancing!

Anyway, this is my page:

I used a white paper and created my own background with mists, a mask, stamps and gesso. First I glued some paper strips on top and bottom of the page, I applied gesso and then made some masking and stamping with several stamps. After that, I placed the photo in position and added only a few embellishments: a chipboard scroll corner, some flowers, buttons and sequins. To add more interest to my page, I broke some buttons in pieces and glued them on the page. As a final mixed media touch I added a lot of gesso splashes (that's really a fun thing to do - I love splashes:)

One more thing I love doing on my pages is doodling with my permanent pen. I also wrote quite a few times the sentence 'am I dreaming?' and finally I placed the tittle at the bottom of the page.
