Flower garden Berry71blue

Hello everybody, 

My first post for Berry71blue blog dt team for the month of April. 
Inspired by the beautiful tag of marivic, our sponsor for this month  
  "the scrapcake" and the inspirational picture of Agniezska i made this layout. 

Pictures are taken one of the first beautiful days here in Greece,
my husband and i went for a bike ride in the national gardens in Athens.



Spring is here and all the gardens will be filled with beautiful flowers. 
That's why this tag of marivic was perfect for this page. 



I did some fussy cutting with the new line of the scrapcake "my private happiness". 
A gorgeous new line with beautiful papers, bright colors and nice quotes. 



Remember you still have a few days to enter for our challenge at Berry71blueblog. 
And have the chance to win this wonderful new paper line of The scrapcake.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day, 
Channa

Good morning all, 

Today i will share with you my first tutorial ever and it is for Frosted designs.

Making your own sentiment embellishments for any of your craft projects:



I will show you an easy and inexpensive way to make your own sentiment embellishments with supplies that you already have in your collection.

What do you need:

1 pack of modelling clay ( air dry)
Small cookie cutters
Sentiment stamps
Dabbers, Distress ink, stickles, mists 


1.Roll out the clay in a to a thin layer. 
2. Press your stamp in to the clay. 
3. Surround your stamp with a cookie cutter


4. it will look like the picture below. 
Keep on going until you have used all the clay


5. Let it dry for 24 hours all depending on the thickness of the clay.
Tip: while it is drying turn them around and press them so that they stay flat.


6. As soon as they are dry you can start to decorate them as you please. 


I have added some samples at the beginning and below to give you some ideas on how to use them on your craft projects. 



Enjoy and have fun making them!

"Forever Love" FD Sketch#39

Good Morning all, 

First of all to all my greek blog readers, Xronia Polla! I hope you all enjoyed easter with your family and friends. I had a nice lunch with my greek family, without my husband unfortunately as he was a way on a trip. But i enjoyed my beef, sorry no lamb for me. 

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

This is my entry for this week:


And this is the sketch:


I moved the sketch around a little bit as you can see. It's a picture of my little friend, roan,  when he was a baby boy. Hens the reason i choose for an almost all blue layout. 


The journaling on this page is about the forever love of a mother for a child. 

4 ever love
I awake each day with a smile. 
And greet it with a laugh, 
The world is a treasure to me, 
Because of you. 


So hop over to Frosted designs, you have two weeks to enter and maybe you will be one of the lucky ones to come in the top 3 or win the prize of our sponsor. 

Good luck to you all and thanks for stopping by,
Channa
