Frosted sketch Tuesday #44

Good day, 

Can you believe it? we are almost half way trough the year!!!

It's amazing and it all goes too fast. 

Well today it's Tuesday and that means it's time for a new sketch at Frosted designs.

This is my take:

This is the sketch:

As you can see, it is actually a two page sketch.... i will be honest,

I always take my precious time to create a page and it takes a lot of effort to get it the way i want it let alone i have to do two pages.....that's a No for me. hihihihi

This vintage picture is of My mother (tina) and my aunt and baby Channa.

My own handmade stick pin!

I believe the picture speak for themselves this week. 

Soft baby colors, flowers, butterflies, stick pins and charms.

Good luck, you have two weeks to enter your layout!

"Cafe du Paris" Berry71blue

Good morning Ladies, 

Today i will share my post for Berry71Blue

Remember this Beautiful tag:

This is what i thought when looking at the tag: 

I was imagining a girl shopping around in Paris, passing all the big fashion houses and trying on every single dress that she liked. Because she had a date at Cafe de Paris and she wanted to look Gorgeous!

So i made this frame page, if you look at it, i see a window display. 

After trying so many dresses she finally found the ONE.

The tag, dress doll and flowers are glued on the outside of the frame, as it was a thin frame. 

Close up of the paparazzi following her around ..........

This is my project for this month and my thought process with it. 

Good luck with the Mini Challenge and enjoy your day.

Thank you, 

Channa

PS: Sorry for the lightning on the pictures. The sun is shining here in Greece and i could not avoid it ;-)

Get Creative Card Sketch!

Good morning, 

Another sun shiny day............and the new card sketch is up at Get creative!

My take

The Sketch

As you can see i have sketch and card are almost identical this month.

A very clean card this month, not too many frills like usual from me. 

But i embossed, I stitched, i sew and colored. 

The sewing part was this Yoyo flower. 

I used fabric from Amy Butler and if you like it i sell several different ones in my shop.

  Click here

The stitching part are the red stars and the coloring was a few embossed

 flowers and my last little flower from 

Sfragidomania. 

Our get creative team have been generously sponsored by sfragidomania 

which is a Greek chipboard Company. As i did not  want to use all my goodies in one go 

i have spread it out over a few projects. As you will see in the coming summer months.

Dont forget our sponsor this month is 

Get Creative Embellishments

Get Creative Embellishments is sponsoring 4 packs of embellishments

2 for the layout winner 

and 2 for the card winner

You have until the 29th of June

 to upload your creations to the side bar

just follow the inlinkz instructions 

and please link you blog post not your blog other wise we cannot see what you have created!

Get Creative......

Frosted Designs & My Giveaway winners!!

Hello Ladies, 

Hop hop and the winner for my Frosted Design blog hop giveaway is:

Roxy

Roxy Sunday, June 17, 2012
Hi, Channa, thanks for the chance to win! I just became a follower of your blog and I'm very excited because this is my first Greek blog!!! Anyway, as for storing my pages, well, I have a bunch in nice albums but the rest are in pizza boxes or piled on top of each other. My favorite albums and protectors are the We R Memory Keepers leather albums, nice and big! Hugs, Roxy.


I did not use random.org for this because my quest was to find a storage idea for my scrapbook pages. And roxy's idea to use albums and Pizza boxes was the best option for me. You have all seen that my space is limited and on my shelf's i can easily stack a lot of Pizza boxes and it won't be in my way or smashed.

And now for my shop giveaway prize winner:

Vicky!!

So ladies, please contact me asap by sending me an email with your address to:

craftsandpieces@hotmail.com

Thank you, 

Channa

Frosted design Crafting space blog hop!

Hello ladies, 

And welcome to the Frosted Design Crafting Space Blog Hop!!

Today we are showing off all our Crafting Spaces! I believe all us ladies share the same situations in our rooms. Most of the time everything is everywhere and you can never find something when you need it. Along the way you will see some gorgeous craft rooms and we will give you some storage tips! I honestly can say that i clean up after every project, reason being that i can not concentrate if i have too much stuff around me, while i am working. I have a small room so it's easily filled.

So here is my Room:

As you can see, lots and lots of boxes........

I just finished an baptism invitation order all the bottles are stacked on my desk for delivery. More information on that project in July! But my desk is still clean right?

I like to keep my embellishments, ribbons, flower etc.... in see trough boxes or vases. Just so i know what i have and where i have it. First i always put them in closed boxes, but i could never find anything. The drawers below are stuffed..... and you do not want to open them...trust me!

My tip for you, this is how i keep my ribbons in order. I cut a piece of carton and i wrap the ribbon around it. I put them in a see trough box (Ikea), in color order and i always find what i want. I have to say that it is "work in progress" as i still have so many rolls of ribbon to go

In order to be Qualify for the main prize,  become a follower of the Frosted designs Blog and that you leave a comment on the blog hop post.

2. Let me know how you store your scrapbook pages in the comments below.

SYC Embossing Challenge!

Good morning, 

This will be my first post for today! Another one will follow.

 I don't like to do this but there was no other way. 

I will share with you today a new challenge at Scrap your crap.

EMBOSSING! wet, dry, with misting...........you pick.

This was my take:

I chose for wet and dry embossing. For the blue parts of this card i used a cuttlebug folder, and for the white butterfly i used wet embossing. I have to say that i am not a big fan of wet embossing because i always manage to ruin it. 

A lot of items used on this card are from my own shop. 

Crafts and Pieces shop link

The stickpin - handmade from pearl beads and swarovski crystals.

And a little bird has told me that this same stickpin in another color is used in a project and will be shown later on today!!!

Frosted designs Sketch #43

Good morning all, 

Hope you all had a good nights rest. Here in Greece it is super hot, in order to get to sleep we had to turn on the AC. I believe the weather forecast stated that this Thursday it will be 39 degrees celcius.....pffff

But today is another Tuesday, and that means another sketch for Frosted designs:

This is my take:

and this is the sketch:

Remember the wedding that i decorated 2 weeks ago? 

I made this layout a few weeks ago and gave it to the wedding couple as a wedding present.

For some reason i did not make a picture of the whole craft project? i guess i was to busy and everything went so quick. 

But i made a picture shadow frame, and i added items to the page and in the frame of the wedding decoration items: 

Ribbon - used for the wedding favors 

Sand - used in the vase for the table decoration

Pink wooden roses - used for the wedding favors

Wooden sticks - used in the Lanterns and vases

Peonies - used in the vases

little gold heart - used for the wedding favors.

I thought it would be a nice way to remember their beautiful wedding day using elements of their wedding decoration. 

The lace flowers are handmade by me and some similar ones can be found in my newly stocked shop. 

It's a double layered lace flower and i added leaves on top and a paper rose on top.

Keep in mind you still have a few day to enter in my shop giveaway!

Here is the link:

And we have a blog hop at Frosted designs starting this Friday:
