I forgot I had a blog.........

 that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!!
well 
Happy New Year 
folks even though its February...
things have been busy here 
obviously
thus my absence
plus I have not scrapped since 
Get Creative
took a break
we are still on a break...
In December a group of Greek scrappers decided to take part
in 


so we kicked off the first elimination challenge last Friday
the challenge is to make a double layout
about where you live
taking 1000 steps from your home 
and photographing your neighbourhood!
so here is my attempt


and some closeups



and the other side



the challenge was "challengeing" as we were not allowed to use mists....
now that one was difficult for me.....
lets hope I make it to the next challenge
stay tuned.....

be inspired and inspire others.....

The word for 
this month 
is 

So here is my Design team layout

my inspiration for this layout
is our 18yr daughter
who made it into 
we are extremely proud of her
and she is so excited to be out on her own discovering herself 
and the world!

so my only advice to her
(apart from the usual motherly nagging)
is
Be inspired
and 
inspire others






lots of misting, modelling paste and layers!
and some bling for added sparkle!!

will you join us this month??

Travel buddies......

Well our 18yr old was in town
so we headed out of Athens for a few days
to beat the heat! HA
we went to TOLO in the Peloponese
and it was hot hot hot!!
we melted but we had some really good quality family time!
and I caught up with a scrappy friend who I had not seen in years
many photos were taken but this one is my fave as I 
just aimed the camera to the back seat and 
these two were good sports and tried to accomodate
thye were both plugged in (ipods)
the layout is my Dt layout for
and the word for August is
Travel/Explore

J was wearing a bright yellow sundress (seriously cute)
so I went with yellow and black 
and then my printer decided to print the photo in red HA!!!
Ah well i still like the powerful colour combo!


some close ups





hope you find the time to play along with us at
