life is a balance...

Hello dear friends!

Today I'm very excited because I can share my first DT page for Scrap Around The World!

Our challenge for January is  hosted by Karita Vainio and she created a beautiful moodboard with an amazing quote: 

'life is a balance of holding on and letting go'.

I was really inspired by those words and created this page:

...and this is our gorgeour moodboard:

I tried to include all the elements of the moodboard on my page, so you can see frames, keys (actually I used a stencil with keys), flowers, a clock, blue - pink and a bit of green shades and the quote written with chipboard letters. In order to give a vintage and shabby chic style I altered the letters and painted them with crackle, rusty green and blue  paint...

I hope you got some inspiration,

I can't wait to see your creations for our challenge!

Hello everyone!
Today I'm hosting the Lindy's Stamp Gang blog!
 This month we have a super beautiful color pallet with several shades of purple with a little bit of coral, so I wanted to include all these pretty colors on my page.

Most of the times I like to use for my layouts photos I find on the internet and that's what I did this time. I love this photo with all these floating lanterns, it's so beautiful and much our color pallet, too!

In order to create the background I used the January 2015 Limited Edition Spray Set.

I covered some desired spots around the photo with gesso, then I used the purple sprays: I sprayed on a small clear plastic surface (you can find a lot of them in the packages of clear stamps, at least this is what I do) and then I 'stamped' it on the page, so as to create a water color effect.

I really like this effect! As I wanted to keep it simple, I only did some stamping here and there with a floral stamp and that's all for the background. Then I used the Sprays to color the flowers and also to make some splashes around the composition as a final touch.

Well, I can't wait to see your projects for the January Color Challenge!

Thank you for stopping by today, 

have a lovely day!

Take a chance

Hellor everyone!

This is my first page as a DT member for Scraps n Pieces  a Greek challenge blog - there you will have not only fun with the challenges, but you will find many tutorials and more!

Thank you very much for the invitation, I'm very excited to be a part of this great team!

Γεια σας! 

Όπως καταλάβατε από σήμερα ανήκω και επίσημα στην καταπληκτική ομάδα του Scraps n Pieces και είμαι κατενθουσιασμένη! Σας ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ για την πρόσκληση, είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα περάσουμε υπέροχα!

Αυτή λοιπόν είναι η σελίδα μου...

...για την πρώτη πρόκληση του 2015 με θέμα:

GET LUCKY!

Η δημιουργία σας μπορεί να είναι για οτιδήποτε θεωρείτε ότι σας φέρνει τύχη, ή σας έχει φέρει η Lady Luck στη ζωή σας. Το μόνο υποχρεωτικό, να υπάρχει κάπου στη δημιουργία σας κατι που σας φέρνει τύχη ή τη λέξη τύχη! . 

Εγώ κόλλησα ένα ρόδι στην δεξιά άκρη της σύνθεσης.

Our first challenge for 2015 is themed 'Get Lucky' and all you have to do is to include in your project anything that brings luck in your life or the word luck/ lucky, etc... I used a small pomegranate - here in Greece the pomegranate is a sign of good luck :)

For my page I used the sketch from the Art Piaskownica:

Αυτά για σήμερα, περιμένω να δω τις δημιουργίες σας κορίτσια!

That's all for today, 

I hope to see your creations for our challenge at Scraps n Pieces!
