Scrap Africa: Patch work

Good evening all, 

Ok, is blogger playing up or what??? it took me hours to upload my picture on the Scrap Africa DT blog .......I did it yesterday evening but no luck..........today after a while it was done. 

So anyway, we have a great challenge at Scrap Africa!

The challenge is to make a Patchwork effect background.

This is my take on the challenge:


This is an inspirational picture:


I made a card this time, i decided to use small little squares to create the patchwork background. 
To accent the squares i added little pearl dots. 


I added a cluster of different embellishments on top of the patchwork, flowers, a birdhouse, a ballerina dancer and a little love note in a bottle.


Well have a look at the Scrap africa blog for some wonderful inspiration. 
Thank you for stopping by and have a great evening, 
Channa

Frosted designs: Ribbon, Twine & Washi tape


Good afternoon again, 

Today is my day to give you some inspiration for the Frosted Designs Challenge:

Ribbon, Twine & Washi tape
Use at least 2 of the above. 

My take:


I altered a book box, and i used all three products.


Ribbon: on the right side to close the box
Twine: at the door lock 
Washi tape: Light blue tape on the top and bottom of 
the front and the little fairies on the side of the box. 


Paper is from the little fairy collection of Prima marketing. 
Chipboard is from Sfragidomania. I added frantage embossing enamel on the chipboard. Unfortunatly you are not able to see on the pictures the beautiful look the frantage gives.


Above you can see a little close up of the cluster in the front. 
Below you are able to see the washi tape, the blue pieces of tape are hard to find on the front. 
But they are there. 


So off you go and create, have a look at the


For some lovely inspiration of all the talented designers. 

Thank you all for passing by! 
Have a great sunday.

Get Creative Card Challenge: Red Hot!

Good Afternoon Ladies, 

Yes I am aware of being 2 days too late on posting my post……
Due to the move we have been experiencing some technical difficulties!
I won’t have internet until the end of July…..a change of address does not go so fast here in Greece.
With that said I also had a incident, a drink fell on top of my laptop and it was swimming. 
Quickly I picked up my laptop and turned it around.
Now a few days after it is still recovering but it works.
So that was my explanation for the delay…

The challenge at get creative is to create a card with the main color red:



Little tilda is watering the flowers. 
I believe it is red enough....right??

Well i wish you a good sunday, i have to do a lot of things before going to work!

Thank you for Stopping by.

Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge

Good Evening All, 

Happy 1st of July, it is already month 7 of 2013!! time flies..........

Today it is time for a sketch challenge at Scrap africa!

My take:


The pictures are taken in Kefalonia at Lake Melissani, on of the Greek islands in the Ionian sea. 
We went there on holiday 2 years ago and as you can see it is beautiful.


I wanted to give the layout a fisher man's look. 
Below and above you can see what i did with the tulle fabric, i pulled and sprayed it many times. 
I added the little shells and the little chipboards, i used fran tage on the chipboard to give it another look. 
I also used it on several spots on the back ground paper. 


This is the sketch, i had a lot of fun making this layout as it has a lot of different textures. 



So you have until the 14th of July to add your creations!

Good luck and thank you for stopping by.
