Very cute...photo!

This is a layout I made a while ago.It was during one mini-crop session we,the Heraklion based scrappers,held at my house,for the first time.It was great to get together and create,even though I usually end up watching what everybody else does and get inspired just as we're about to stop!My dear friend Melenia helped me a lot with this layout so I have to thank her once again!I'm not entirely happy with the title,but since I still don't have a small font alphabet stickers and the only alphas I do have are huge it's going to have to do for now.

Since it's an old picture of my mom I wanted to keep the theme kinda romantic and old fashioned.I'm not entirely sure if I succeeded,since this isn't my style at all,but it was my first effort trying something new and at the end of the day if you keep doing the same things over and over again you aren't making any progress!!





I hope you like it.

Feeding the ducks

I discovered this photo a few months back and fell in love with it immediately.It's a very old picture of my mom and her sister in a park,feeding some ducks.I loved it,I loved the theme,the fact it's so old,black and white,I loved everything about it and I knew right from the start I wanted to scrap it and make it into something beautiful.But I couldn't find a way,everything seemed to take away from the photo instead of enhancing it...so it sat there for all these months with me constantly trying to find a way to make it look good but without success.Than a few days back inspiration hit me and I came up with this.It's alongside with another layout I haven't showed you yet,my favorite and I think it's probably the best I've made so far.
The base is again a paper from Dovecraft this time from the Hint of Pink stack.On top of this is again one of the oh so loved Core'dinations papers.The square papers are also from Core'dinations,the Gemstones collection,which is awesome I might add.The two pink butterflies are from a flower pack from JUMBO and I added a glittery sticker in the middle(from Accessorize).The black glittery butterfly on the other hand I bought from a bead shop in Heraklion.It didn't have the glitter on,it was plain brown but I decided i wanted to do something with it,so I added glue on it and then sprinkled the glitter on.I think it turned out pretty cute!The silver letters I found in an old drawer(I think it's one of those sheets that came along with blank videotapes in order for you to be able to write the name of the movie on it),the pink letters I cut in the way I've described in a previous blog post and the white letters are once again from K&Company Life's Journey chipbox(I really should invest in a new chipboard alphabet,lol).
