My friend Kim


In March of this year my friend Kim came to visit us. First time in Athens! She wanted a break from her daily routine and we gave it to her. So we went sight seeing, acropolis, shopping in Ermou, Sounio, we went out to see Panagiotis Tsakalakos etc.... Kim used to be my room mate on the ship and the reason that i am with makis today. We had a great time on the ships together and kim always been a great friend to us.She is now married ( also with her "ship"boyfriend) 
and has a beautiful daughter larissa. 

Kim and me on formal night

I made a layout from us when we were in sounio pretending to be  strong warriors protecting the
 tempel of poseidon. Obviously we did not get very far. 


I decided for this lay out to keep the colors in a greek style, with blue and white like the greek flag. I used blue card stock and stamped with my new "lace"stamps with white. Behind the foto's i used a blue paper of maja design and on the bottom of the picture i used blue lace with blue flowers. 



Here in the close up pictures you can see the lace stamps. Sorry about the pictures it doesn't 
show very well??

All and all we had a great time and it was nice to have kim with us. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

Family and friends...........

This month i will dedicate to family and friends. Over the last few months we had a lot of visitors coming over to Athens to come and see us. Always nice to have familiar faces around the house.


My first lay out this month is from my grand parents. Unfortunately my grandma is unable to come over, just because she is too old. This year she will be 93 years old! My grand father past away many years ago. But the little girl in the middle is my mother.  





Above you can see some close ups from the lay out. 
The border around the picture and the flowers are made with a coffee filter, some lace on the
 right hand side and a doily. 

A lot more lay outs will come this month and stay tuned for Friday because
 i will have a blog candy ( x 2) to give away.

 Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

It's been a while that i have posted something on my blog. Sorry! 
But i have not stopped crafting, in between easter, family visiting, and a baptism order  i found the time to make a lot of cards but did not have the time to post them on my blog.
