Αποφάσισα να είμαι λίγο πιο up to date με τις αναρτήσεις μου, οπότε σήμερα αντί να σας δείξω το workshop της περασμένης βδομάδας, θα σας δείξω το online crop που διοργάνωσε η φίλη μου η Κατερίνα και το Scrapbookers in Greece αυτό το ΣΚ.

Μόλις πήρε τα ηνία του ning η Κατερίνα, και οι αλλαγές και οι βελτιώσεις πέφτουν βροχή....

Έπαιξα σε 5 προκλήσεις από τις 9 που έβαλε η σχεδιαστική ομάδα. Τις δύο σας την έδειξα σε προηγούμενη ανάρτηση και ήταν τα δωράκια για τις δασκάλες και τα καθημερινά μου σημειωματάρια.

Τις υπόλοιπες τρεις θα σας δείξω σήμερα

Ένα tag

Μια ATC

και ένα spread

Since the theme of SSS is free I will play with this art journaling page.

The scrapbooking world' s heart is beating with Tim' s tags these days.

No, I will not show you another version of his tags - I am sure that you are fed up with Tims-to-be by now.

However my project today is on a tag. I challenged myself instead of cleaning my desk after making my last christmas cards(phew I finished them all), to use the leftovers to make something else. I managed to make a non-christmas tag with christmas leftovers. Don't ask....

And this is a tag that my little artist made for a scrapbooking friend - Natalia- of the same age that organised a swap. Details are here. She made her background using watercolor crayons, heat-embossed the sentiment and the space around with gold embossing powder and cut the ornaments with the Big-shot. She is evolving - don't you think?

To tell you the truth I was surprised by the color combo she made, as it is totally untraditional for a Christmas tag, but she justified her choice saying that everybody else will use green, red and blue and she wants her own to stand out!

So, I will submit it in SSS , Come and get it challenges , Gingerloft challenge, 2 sisters, Sugar Creek Hollow , Incy Wincy Design and cross my fingers for her.

And some Christmas charms I made for gift decoration for a shop. They look very festive when attached to the kraft bag they have.



Have a warm and happy evening!

I just love the vintage style!

Last night I was playing with a tag. I was in a dark mood as my uncle passed away, a fact that always makes people think about life, its purpose etc. I had already made my art journal entry, so I decided to play with distress reinkers and an #8 size manilla tag. I added some glimmer mists, mica pigments and clear crackle paint and the background was ready.

The embossed tree is from Craft Concepts, the lamppost is from Sfragidomania the letters are from grungeboard inked and then treated with UTEE. The birds are a Tim Holtz stamp on grungeboard pierced and embossed and the metal part from my stash.

So here it is, unfortunately in a rather dark picture, as the weather here is stormy and I did not have enough natural light. The real tag is even better, but as I wanted to submit it in Simon Says Stamp & Show, it will have to suffice.

I have not post any work for ages.

I just received the alphabet mask of Tim Holtz's and I was dying to use it, so I made an experiment and I rather liked the result. Instead of making little cards, I will attach the tags to the presents I will give on Sunday.

As I have not participated in any challenge lately, I will submit the left tag to Simon Says Challenge .

I used:

- Stamps: Ship by Artemio and Swirls by Tim Holtz

- Paints: Distress Inks, Glimmer Mists and Mica Pigments

- Mask: Alphabet by Tim Holtz
