Oh yeah another one!!!!..........

Seriously I have quite a few more pages left

so lets not waste anymore time......

Dont be fooled these layouts come up fast

 as most of the work has been done by

 Websters pages!!

Actually feels like I have been cheating

not really scrapping....

losing control......

I was gifted some gorgeous Websters pages back in 2009.

I would lovingly admire the beautiful papers stroke them talk to them

but never, never lay a hand on them!!!

Till one day I reached the point of no return and decided to 

make a layout 

with one of these beautiful papers

well one thing led to another and I could not stop

I threw caution to the wind,

I listened to my heart and not my head 

I defiled these gorgeous papers

I ravaged them by tearing them 

I distressed them with no consideration for their feelings

I splattered them with inks and paint

I added graffiti, I stuck letters on them 

I smothered them with embellishments 

and in a desperate attempt to ask forgiveness

for my selfish destructive acts

I added flowers, beautiful flowers

 hoping to win  back some respect........

Share.......

Like I said in my previous post

I have been taking part in some challenges

So today I am 

Share.....ing

this layout for 

Bird is the word

The chipboard die cut is from
Imaginarium Designs

Sketchy Thursdays......

It's been a while since I created a layout just for fun

So for

 Sketchy Thursdays

I created this layout

Poor C3 is trying to catch fish,

miniscule fish

without trying to get his feet wet LOL!!

Priceless..................

The thoughts of an 8yr old on the Greek economy

Monday 19th September 16:45

C3 and irini walking home from the bus stop

the conversation went like this;

irini: So how was your day at school?

C3: ok

irini: did you eat your lunch (typical Greek mother LOL)

C3: ummmm a little, mama mama I have an idea

irini: what about?

C3: when I grow up I want to become a scientist/inventor

irini: oh wow that sounds wonderful, what will you invent?

C3: well you know how all the politicians have spent all our money

irini: Yes......(no need to lie to the child, it is the truth!!)

C3: well I am going to make a purse that prints money, so when you press a button

it will make money, paper money.

irini: wow and how much will it cost?

C3: At first I will make them and give one to you and to daddy

 and for me of course then all the poor people

irini: you are very kind.

C3: I will have a shop where people will come and buy the special paper

 to put in the purse printer.

irini: wow you have thought of everything

C3: I know!!! and we will be rich and have lots of money

so much money we we can have a bath in it...

(this is where the conversation starts to go down hill superfast LOL )

C3: and the purse will also print coins

irini: dont you think it will be heavy?

C3: yeah doesn't matter I will print lots of paper money

 which will be the water for my bath and the coins will be the soap hahahahaha

(he thought he was very funny)

irini: ok ok...sunshine lets talk about homework

C3: ummm ok ....(silence)

I treasure our conversations......

have a wonderful day every one

and if you have some time to be creative how about making a card!

go and check out the amazing creations of the 

Get Creative

card team!!

they are stunning!!

Enjoy Scrapping....

The lovely Lena from 

Enjoy Scrapping 

had generously given me the

Glitz Designs

Scarlett kit

to play with

and boy did I play!! LOL

here is what is left of the kit

I made a little micro mini (what I like to call them)

from the journalling spots that were in the kit

and a card. 

At the end of the post I have uploaded all the layouts and cards I made

with this fabulous kit!!

Everything that has been used in the mini is from the kit apart 

(obviously the punches are mine)

For the cover I used left over pattern paper

and added a flower to the sticker frame 

I misted the  flower with Candy Apple Red Glimmer mist from the kit

added left over stickers and journalling stickers

more stickers!

I misted the butterfly with I stamped the wings of the butterfly with the stamp from the kit

punched a hole added a jump ring and some black lacy ribbon and some charms!!

simple!

here is the card

again left over papers

flower and the inking was done with the glimmer mist!

All these creations came from the 

Scarlett Kit

maybe you do or maybe you dont!....

know that I run a humble challenge blog

called

Get Creative

and

this humble little blog

has some great challenges for layouts and cards

(if I do say so myself!! LOL)

the layout challenge for the 15th of September is a sketch

this is my take on the sketch!

I was so proud of C3 on this cold winters day

this brave little 4 yr (back in 2007)

 braved his outdoor swimming lesson, 

the wind was so strong I thought it was going to lift him up out of the water.

That night it snowed!!!

and here is the layout I prepared for the

 1st of September creative challenge

We had to add frames to our layout

here is my interpretation

Finally back!!....

and C3 started the 3rd grade!

when did that happen???

It seems like yesterday that he learnt to read and write!!

and now he will be studying history!!

We were away for a week

we tried to rest but we also did a little sight seeing!

Now we are back and I am ready for a year of work and creativity

if only I did not have to wake up at 0630!!

arghh I felt like a zombie this morning...

I digress...

here is a layout for Sassy Lil Sketches 

that I did not get the opportunity to post 

I am part of the Switch it up Saturday team

what does that mean?

well I am given one of Cheries sketches 

and I have to switch it up (obviously!! hahaha)

I think the pictures will tell a better story

here is the sketch

and this is what I did with it

I flipped the sketched vertically

then instead of pattern paper 

I stamped frames behind the photo!

I love my sons sense of style he matches classic jackets

with jeans and checked sneakers!

just too cute!!

pity about the bad hair cut!!

LOL
