Get creative: It's tag time.

Good afternoon, 

Enjoying your evening ? 

Also at Get creative it is time for a new Tag challenge.  
We are not diverting from the challenge of the month so also for your tags 
the challenge is to use Lot's of flowers on your tag. 

I love flowers, you will hardly see a craft project of mine with out any flowers. 

This is my take:


I used 12 flowers for this tag!
For making a tag i always look at my left over box to get inspiration. 
How much paper do we not use after making a card or layout? 



I first looked at the flowers in my collection and than i searched for matching paper. 
Above you can see a little zoom in on the flower cluster below on the tag. 
I was very generous with the flowers because i always try to keep things??? why??? i dont know! 
I know we are all the same, we go with the trends and add as much paper and embellischments to our
stash as possible as soon as something new comes out. 
Right??
 


So use your stash, for sure you have some flowers, punches, die cuts, coffee filters
 anything that you can make flowers with.

Have a look at the get creative blog to get your inspiration. 
All our DT members have a different take on the challenges and it is always so amazing to see what is created at every challenge. 

So that was my 2nd and last post for the day. 

Good night and sleep tight!!

Scrap Africa: Follow your dreams.....

Good morning all, 

I hope you are all enjoying your day!

I will have two posts today, and the First one is for Scrap Africa

It's time for our new challenge and the challenge is to use at least one chipboard. 

This is my take:


We are sponsered by 


And we received some chippies in the mail, and i used this one. 

I chose to combine it with paper of Bo Bunny of the Prairie chic collection, lovely colors. 
My little friend Ava is playing with a Pooh bear ball and i decided to use that for this challenge. 
I rememberd that i bought a mask for 50 cents in a sale at a store here in athens. 
It is normally used i think to decorate a baby room, but i thought it would be handy one day for crafting. 

Below you can see the chipboard i used, that is actually round but i cut it in half and
 placed it behind the picture. 


Here you can see the pooh bear mask, i sprayed it on some left over paper and cut it out. 


I really loved the colors of this paper, so happy & bright. 


So hop over to Scrap africa to see what my lovely fellow Dt members have made. 
You have two weeks for this challenge so i can't wait to see what you will make. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Frosted designs: black and white and......


Good afternoon, 

I hope you all had a great weekend? 
Mine was very short as i had to work on saturday. But i had a good sunday!

Yesterday i tried to add this post for Frosted designs as sunday is my reveal day but blogger was not having it???? 

So the challenge is to use Black and White and another color. 
If you have looked on the Frosted designs blog you can find tons of inspiration. 

My choice was Black, White and Pink. 



I used paper from Prima Marketing that was already black and white. 
I colored the roses with some dylusions ink and after used some modeling paste to create some texture on the back ground. 


All flowers used are from "another dt boss" Irini Liolia" of Get creative embellishments.
She makes crochet flowers, and had her little etsy shop. 
Have a look at it because they are so lovely to use on cards and layouts.




On the above picture you can see the flowers and the chicken wire back ground. 

So have a look at Frosted designs. 
 All the designers have revealed their inspiration for you .

Thank you for stopping by, have a great week and evening.

Get Creative: Card Challenge

Good Afternoon, 

Happy easter to all my greek blog friends! 
I wish you all the best, health for you and your families. 

For my husband it was an early day today, as he was in charge of the lamb.
As it is a tradition to eat lamb at easter time, as i dont eat lamb i could stay a few hours more in bed and i had more time to prepare dessert. 

The lamb:

And dessert:

Today is obiously also the day for our card challenge at Get creative. 
The challenge for this month "April showers bring may flowers"
So make a card with many flowers. 

This is my take on the challenge:


I made a card from left overs, the greek ladies will recognize the paper from the last crop that we had. 
The flower is made from several layers of flowers. . 



So you have until the end of the month to enter your card. 
I am off to enjoy my days off, as monday and tuesday are public holidays. 
We are taking are new bikes out for a right tomorrow in Evia and enjoy the sun. 
It is getting very hot here in Greece, i believe summer is here???
From wednesday i am back in training and that is it with the holidays until i have earned some holiday days. 

Have a great week, enjoy your sunday!
