Η πρόκληση Μαρτίου του SCRAPSN'PIECES!

Καλημέρα σας και καλό μήνα


Ο προηγούμενος μήνας στο SCRAPSN'PIECES ήταν φοβερός!!!
 Είδαμε πολλές υπέροχες δημιουργίες και σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ όλες σας για τις φοβερές σας συμμετοχές!
Αυτό το μήνα θα συνεχίσουμε το ίδιο δυναμικά με μια καινούρια πρόκληση και σας θέλουμε μαζί μας!!!

Το θέμα του μήνα:  "3 is a magic number" 






Ο μόνος κανόνας είναι  να χρησιμοποιήσετε τον αριθμό 3 στη δημιουργία σας. Οχι υποχρεωτικά σαν αριθμό αλλά με όποιο τρόπο θέλετε.... τρεις φωτογραφίες, τρία χρώματα... 
Αυτή είναι η δική μου σύνθεση.... 
Οι 3 λόγοι που με κάνουν να είμαι χαρούμενη κάθε μέρα και ευγνώμων στη ζωή!
Οι 3 φατσούλες των παιδιών μου....!!!
Καλές δημιουργίες!!!

My layout for the 3d challenge of Supreme Scrap Tournament 2014 !!!

Hi eveyone!!!
This is my layout for the 3nd round of  Supreme Scrap Tournament 2014!
Once again i want to say a big THANK YOU to all the girls who have voted me on the 2nd round and gave me the chance & the pleasure to participate again in this extremely amazing challenge!!!
I hope all the best to all of you also on this round!!!

For the 3rd challenge, we are asked to do some DOODLING on a 12X12 page!!!

I have to admit that it's the first time i had to create a scrapbook layout using this way of expression....i mean "do some doodling"....
I have spent enough time yesterday searching the web to find out what this is all about and what i was supposed to do and find some inspiration!!!
I found some interesting scrapbook paper with doodling on it, digital files...etc
i also searched on pinterest.....and I was very impressed of what i discovered!!!
Doodling is ART!!!

After all that i had to decide what i wanted to create with my 4 photos!
I consider my style always "fresh" & "bright" and "whimsical" enough, so i have chosen to create a doodle pattern, inspired by some designs i have seen around on the web....

And that's it...
After 3 hours of doodling all the page by hand, like a teenager, it came out this....
I put banners, differents types of arrows, cameras, butterflies, cupcakes, ,hearts, stars, tags, leaves, doodle frames for all my photos, doodles in general, and then i used my paint dabbers & distress stains, to add some colour on my page....& some washi tape, brads, badges, button, gossamer &  wood venners!

My journaling begins from the top of the page and continues in the bottom .....It says:
"Remember always...
...life is a paradise for those who love with passion & have passions!
Without passion, LIFE is nothing!!!!"

This is a quote i love and try always to remember...

SCRAPBOOK, TRAVELLING, PHOTOSHOOTING, READING
My 4 passions, I can't live without!!!!

Hope you like my page!!!

Good luck to all of you!!!

"Love you" for the 2nd challenge of Supreme Scrap Tournament 2014!

Hello my scrappy friends!
I'm really happy to be here for the 2nd round of  Supreme Scrap Tournament 2014!!!
I thank all of you for voting me and i hope also this time to give you a good reason to revote me again!!!LOL!!!
What a challenge this time!!!
A monochromatic double layout!!!
I like so much using colours in my layouts, so the 2nd challenge, it was a really difficult challenge!!!
And because i like so much colours, i tried to challenge also myself, using only WHITE COLOUR in my 2 pages layout!!!
In the photo my 3 adorable kids!!!
I used white paper, white ribbons, laces, flowers and the wood veneer embellishements, i painted all white!!
I also used a stencil with gesso!
I hope you like it!!!
GOOD LUCK to ALL OF YOU!!!
