More from the Glitz Scarlett kit.....

I made this layout a couple of weeks ago now....
it was actually made with some scrapping buddies on the island of Aegina
I have used the Glitz Scarlett kit from


The red frill around the layout was made with the Martha Stewart Doilie punch,
I punched out doilie strips from the vanilla cardstock in the kit 
then I sprayed the strips with  Candy Apple red Glimmer Mist (again from the kit)
once the strips dried I pleated them and placed them around the layout!



This picture has such bitter sweet memories
apart from the fact DH and I are very young (I was 28) LOL
we were also celebrating the marriage of a dear friend of ours 
and a year later to the day she died from breast cancer
she was only 28!

  6. Πραγματικά είναι απο τις περιπτώσεις που κανείς χάνει τα λόγια του. Τι να πω για μια τόσο αιφνίδια απώλεια; Θαυμάζω τον τρόπο που οι συνθέσεις σου δείχνουν τα συναισθήματά σου... Πραγματικά έχει μια απροσδιόριστη γλύκα και πίκρα αυτή η σύνθεση. Την έφτιαξες υπέροχα Ειρήνη μου. Μου αρέσει πολύ το κεντρικό κόψιμο σαν label και ο τρόπος που τοποθέτησες την μπορντούρα. Σ' ευχαριστούμε. Πολλά φιλιά και να προσέχεις!

  7. Καλημέρα και καλή εβδομάδα Ειρήνη μου! Περάσαμε τέλεια στην Αίγινα κι εγώ που σε έβλεπα να δημιουργείς αυτήν την σύνθεση, σε θαύμαζα πραγματικά! Πρόσθεσες κι άλλες λεπτομέρειες, που μου αρέσουν πάρα πολύ! Φιλάκια, να προσέχεις τον εαυτό σου και καλό καλοκαιράκι!

  12. Irini, by scrapping this page you keep the memory of your friend alive in you heart and thru this post ... it may be bittersweet but that is in fact the truest benefit of scrapbooking ... preserving the memories!!!

    The layout is fab, and I loved watching you create it!!!

  13. Wow! Irini this is gorgeous! Love how you made the red trim. It looks like it was bought. I'm going to have to remember this. Spraying it red is perfect for this lo. The rest of the misting looks fab as well and that pic is awesome of the two of you!
