my first video

video??!!

I actually filmed a video...but I can not get it to upload.....so unforunately you guys will have to just see the photos.....sorry
Anyway my friend Nicci had her birthday last week and I decided to give her the Manilla file mini album that I had made in the summer.
The papers are from La Creme collection DCWV. I added the name using Provocraft chipboard letters that I painted gold with Making Memories paints.The little pearl and the metal butterfly were inked with alcohol ink.
I added one of my signature butterflies with beaded detail...see earlier blog(sept.20) I also made a card to match I used a sheet of paper that was flocked as is the cover of the album, with a black envelope made with my Crafters Companion I also made a creme presentation box to house the mini. I hope that Nicci likes her gift.

I would also like to say thank you to Lena for the  lovely blog candy that I received.......
Well that's all for now...going back to see what I can do with my video....suggestions (help)welcome.

a birthday card

Last week was my Hubby's birthday. I was going to make him a card from a Basic Grey card kit, but then I decided that I wanted something more personal. So I copied the shape of the Basic Grey card onto plain blue cardstock. I then embossed the front with my Big Shot using a Sizzix texture plate.I then inked the card and added Basic Grey paper. I added a current photo of the two of us on the inside

My wishes are on the pge that you cannot see.

Think Pink

Candy Shoppe Designs has a challenge called THINK PINK to celebrate Breast Cancer week. My Mother hd breast cancer, so I decided to do a pink mini-album to celebrate me, my health and my family. I have used My Mnds Eye Papers and Copper Kettle embossing powder.Of course the title is

Basic Cards

Hi there Scrappers.
If your life has been as hectic as mine, take a 15 minute break, make a cup o coffee and relax!

As I promised here are the cards that we made at our first workshop, they are very basic as the girls had never made cards before ,we did a bit of stamping, I showed them how to use Fiskars punches,and I introduced embossing with the Big Shot. I had the embossed papers ready and just demonstrated one

I used Papermania Border papers this batch is from Rasberry Champagne. We also made the envelopes!

It has started to get cooler in Athens so I thought it  was time to plant some of my favourite flowers Pansies!!! I also love these little Cabbage Plants that's what I call them as I do not know their proper name....if anybodyknows their proper name please tell me.

All over the place....

Hi there Crafty Ladies.
This week I have been all over the place! I made some new cards for my workshops but I have not photographed them yet.Will do so soon.
I decided that for today I will share with you some of my older creations. before I started scrapping I was an avid potter which, I had to stop because of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome( sore wrists).This is one of the last pots  that I made I call it the Vagina Monlogues!! I made it after the removal of one of my ovaries.        

This Manila Envelope Album I once saw on You Tube ages ago, I loved it and will be doing it at the workshops. I used LA CREME from DCWV for this. Loved how it turned out, I have not personalised it with a title yet...it will be in black lettering. Please note the binding it is Black Magic Core'dinations, that I distressesd with sand paper.

I will leave you with another project a mini hardboard album that I did for my daughters mother-in -law Ebe HBH in greek. I loved the way the flowers from the local toy shop Jumbo turned out.
