Art Journaling Like Crazy!!

Hi there Dear Friends...
As I said on facebook, my poor L.O. has taken a back seat..my CSI  L.O. has been 90% finished since Tuesday....I have been on a Journaling high!
 As I told you in my last post it is all Eleni's fault..she digs up all of these challenges, and then we want to play too...
I am very late for the V word on the Alpha Challenge , but when I heard letter V from Eleni I knew I wanted to art the word VENERATE....this page is inspired by an embroidery my Gran embroidered for the church when I was a little girl...I would admire it each Sunday at church......I stamped with gold using my own hand-carved stamp and I wrote the Jesus Prayer and the Hail Mary as backgrounds...So here it is anyway.

 The next page is for An A and Z for Me....I like this challenge as it is very inspirational...and I am going through a difficult patch at the moment so this site is just what the doctor ordered!

And I am sure  that my Husband told them to choose F for fitness...he nags me each and every day that I need to get away from my desk and go and excercise!!

So note to self....

The first layer of medium on this page is all of the scrap pieces of paper that were lying on my desk....they make for beautiful texture!

Keep well ...look out for my G page...a girl can dream you know...

Love Zeffy

 

Creating in Chaos WOYWW 192

Hi there dear Friends...
The question yesterday was do I tidy up, or do I just shove everything back a little and create???
I am shameless to share my untidy desk with you today on Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday it is a close-up so you don't see the chaos!!
As You can see I chose to create!!

You can spot, some hand carved stamps, some hand-made flowers inspired by The Gentleman Crafter.
The colourful book you see is an altered dictionary, my first page...I got jealous when I saw my friend Eleni's lovely pages...she is playing at the Craft Barn doing the Alpha Challenge... I chose the word ETHNIC for the letter E.....I have a coupleof pages to catch up, but that is fine...

I am a little Greek girl that was born in Africa... and yet I feel thatI am a Hippie deep down...were it not for my hubby I would be dressed in long flowing dresses, with wild hair and lots of beads around my neck!!! The second two do happen!
Here are the flowers..

That is it for now...off to tidy up that desk!!!
Love Zeffy!

My King and 13 Love Tips

 

Hi there.....I.have been missing for a while.....I am back with a L.O.for CSI:Color,Stories, Inspiration

This is for Case file # 56....

My Hubby is my king and after 30 years of marriage I have 13 good tips for love.....I have 13 little hearts in the packet, with statements like."Love is Kind " Love is humble" Love is frienship"ect...let us also not forget Corinthians1:13.....

Back to CSI...I have srtring ,something dangling and a packet of little bits (hearts) for my evidence.

And, my testimony is 13 points for a good marriage...written on the hearts.

My papers and most of my embellishments are from Pink Paislee"London Market"..I have been hoarding them for ages!!!

 

The sketch I used is from Once Upon A Sketch....

WOYWW 189 and Feelings About A Crop.

Hi there..
Today I will not show Julie and her hoard of followers my desk,because it is the dumping ground of the aftermath of a very successful crop and week-end with scrappy friends...
Lucky for me I have my old dinning table 4 meters away from my desk and this is it today....

Two projects from the Athens crop that we attended on Saturday...Our one project was sewing a beauhootiful felt owl patiently cut by Puccarina, she put together 50 kits all of her own!
The second project was a shabby chic mini inspired by Donna Downey  This amazing kit was put together by Katerina and her energetic and very talented DT of Scrapbooking In Greece.
The next photo is of the spoils of the week-end! Secret Santa and  precious RAKS from special friends.

Before I log off I would like to say a big thank-you  to Katerina for co-ordinating this very successful event, I mean the girls had even printed stickers for the packets and bands for the scrap-buckets on each table!
Katerina, you, and each and everyone on the SIG team did their bit, I know that each and every one of you gave a little extra and I do not mean just of your precious time, but also money out of your pockets, to make our kits nicer and out experience at the crop more special.

Thank-you....
Have a fantastic day.
Love Zeffy.
P.S. Thank-you too to all the Greek companies that always sponser our events....we all know who you are!!

Sweet 16

Hi there Girls.
Another quick post....I have a scrappy friend over for the day....I have just finished a L.O for CSI so I thought I would share.
This is my sweet Niece Athina.

All of the paper embellies are from Michele's free printables on CSI.
I used most of the evidence, even though we only need to use 2...flowers, metal, pleating, texture paste, scallops,cupcakes and a teacup.
For my testimony I mention how Athina is entering a new phase in her life now that she is about to turn 16....

Just by the way the photo was on Athina's Facebook page, she had used an app to change it up...I just copy/paste and printed it.....Athina I hope you do not mind, but this was my only option seeing that you live so far away.
Have a good Sunday....I will be back real soon with more scrappy goodness.
Love Zeffy.

Some hand-made embellishments

Good evening, from a very cold Athens.

It has been freezing here so I have been cocooning and creating...

I made the flowers and the butterflies..these are packed in two packets for 2 special ladies and they will be some of the prizes for the lucky draw at the Athens Crop on Saturday!

The metal birds were a find at my local toy shop they are made by Artemio. The foil flower is embossed and it was a lesson on Miss Arts Paper Crafting School....the other flowers are made out of up-cycled vellum..thanks Roula and some tulle...I added the feathers...I am hoping that these will match the Shabby Chic mini album that we are going to make with Katerina

I am very excited because 50 ladies from all over Greece will be meeting on Saturday for a full day of scrapbooking fun, the best will be that I am going to meet lots of cyber buddies in person!!

So I bid you goodnight so that I can go and pack my Secret Santa gift...( Santa will make a special late visit!!)

Lots of love Zeffy...

P.S I still need to photograph my journal properly... maybe next week.

CSI No 52

PHOTOS ARE NOW ADDED TO POST...
Hi there .
This morning I actually  sat down and made a L.O. My first in over a month...as you all know my Dad passed away and I think my mojo disappeared too....
I always enjoy CSI challenges and this week is their birthday week so pop over and take a look. Lots of fun stuff going on!

I used the sketch from Sketches In Thyme#98
This is my take on the challenge, I used some photos taken by me on Christmas Eve.

Evidence:
I used string, craft paper, tags, eyelets, washers and numbers...
My testimony, was handwritten on the tags and at the bottom of the page.

Seeing that blogger will not allow me to upload photos today I have made a video instead..
Keep well....
Love Zeffy.

WOYWW 187 Binding Disaster!

Hi there dear Bloggers..

It is Wednesday the 2nd  of January 2013......Wishing you all a very happy New Year!!
I gave up making resolutions long ago...I try my best each day and deal with what comes my way...
Last night I thought I had this $#@% Journal all wrapped up!! I am  doing Shimelles' JYC but mine took its own path, as usual....
As you have seen from pevious posts I had started this album at a class given by FLO from Atilolou Flo Designs at PACS paris...no link as I am a little cheesed off.. I gave no heed to basic album structure and construction (Thinking that she had it all worked out!)... I just went ahead and glued down. the papers and pages....turns out covers and pages are the same size...and I did not have enough spine movement or space so the pages were just popping off the spine as they turned!!!
Late last night I thought I solved the problem...this was my desk this morning!!

I let it sit...late last night I was not thinking clearly due to New Year celebrations..I thought my problem was solved by hot glueing in one of Tims.. binding rings....boo hoo pages popped out of book.... obviously as they are the same size as covers!!! Pop over to The Stamping Ground to see more desks.

                Read on, if you like to hear the rest of the story....

So I ripped out the binding rings.....vigourously!!

Here you can see the last 2 pages of the book that I had glued down in Flo's class...I came home and re-inforced the binding with my sewing machine...just as well I did not do the rest of the pages...or else my spine would have torn!..my pages do get a bit chunky I must confess...that is why I always do my covers last....
So this is how I left things...to think a little and to post this post....I know I need to go and see how much I  can trim off already finished pages!!  Oh bother!
Wishing you all the best for 2013!!!
Zeffy

WOWW Wednesday 186

Hi Bloggers...
.( I have just posted this.....and I have now clicked it is Thurday not Wednesday......excuse me I have been on an emotional roller coaster these past few weeks.....I could erase this post...but I am not! Julia I hope its ok????Let me know if not...)
Yip, you don't hear from me in ages and here I am again the next day....
As you know it is Wednesday...a little late in the day, but still Wednesday nevertheless....here is my desk pretty much as I left it last night.

 

You guessed correctly it is My Christmas Journal...yes it is very much behind, I think the last completed page is the 10th....Last night I cleared my desk, from the clutter caused by Raphaella's journal, see previous post and video....took out my journal stuff...looked at it, looked through some photos on the camera and went upstairs, to my PC.........
Today I took a photo of the mess and I am back on my PC..to sit back and check out what the rest of the world is up to....if you also want a look pop over to the Stamping Ground
I would Like to take the opportunity to wish you all.....a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR....and all of the very best for 2013!!
God bless.
Zeffy

Seasons Greetings.

XRONIA POLLA
Is the classic Greek greeting for days like these, meaning "Many Years"

Hello there I wish you all of the best for this Festive season and may you all have many, many more with your loved ones!
Yes. I have neglected you all these past weeks, yes these weeks have been difficult and I was not feeling up to much....and yet life is such that in amongst the sorrow we also have joy....
My little Grand-son celebrated his 1st birthday, I saw my brother after 2 years...he needed to sort out some of my late Dad's affairs.....No, I did not put up our tree, I did however take out my Nativity figurines and some angels....and no the JYC journal is not up to date....mojo out the window!!

However, my daughter Raphaella had asked for a journal for Christmas, so that she can take with her to South Africa, she left today for a 5 month Patisserie course at Prue Leith so I had to pull myself toward myself and get cracking!!

I made Raphaella her journal and a workstation,with drawers for little notes, tags or photos, a holder for a pen and pencil and a place to keep her journal.
I used papers from Nectar Creations for the journal, they are digital and are designed by my sweet friend Nektaria.
I made this project in a big rush, so I did not have time to go and print the papers in a 30cm x30 cm format, so as to cover the folio as a result I married 2 sheets of IOD papers with the Memoirs Journal Kit.

The floral paper on the spine is IOD designs. Details of custom dyed seam binding.

 

 

 

Here is a video of the project...shot on my ipad....so please excuse the narrow format (it irritates me!)

 

That is all for today...keep well, savour the sweet family moments that these days bring....and hopefully I will be back  with a L.O. or two of Nino's birthday party and of Christmas.
God Bless.
Zeffy

Lying Low

Hi there Dear Friends...
I have had a bad time these past two weeks...My Dear Dad passed away on the last day of November on his Feast day....His name was Andrew...
That is the reason I have not been around...today I forced myself to go to the crop held at Efi's home, we had a great time...Efi and her hubby Costa were perfect hosts, thank you guys! I am blessed to have such fantastic scrappy Friends....and I am going to share Eleni's photo off Facebook.
Efi is the lady in grey sitting at the bottom of the photo.

 

I have not done much scrapping,I did however begin my December Journal .  It has started on a sad note, but I guess this is what my December is all about!

I have as yet to decorate my home...Maybe tomorrow Raphaella and I will put up one or two decorations...I don't know if a tree will feature this year...

And to leave you with something creative....

Here is a photo of some of the altered dominoes that a made a couple of weeks back.

 

 

Keep well..enjoy this special time with family and friends......they are special.

God Bless.

Zeffy

 

P.S. Christina thank-you for the perfect gift I received from you in the Secret Santa...I loved your hand-made flowers, trims and most of all thank-you for sharing your precious Websters Pages with me!!

What's On your Workdesk Wednesday #182

Hi there WOWW Ladies and Gents...
This week has just flown by and I missed last Wednesday completely...
Short post as I have just started my December Daily...I am making it large this year!!

Here is a pile of things I have on my desk today....  I started this album at PACS Paris in 2009, with a lesson from Flo the Kit was called Etoile Blue Marron....I only made the covers in the class...So, now I am going to wing it and add lots of space for my Journal for December...and I also have to make a lot of Christmassy embellies, including Numbers as I have nothing in this color scheme...do you think I have bitten off more than I can chew??

Last year I followed Journal your Christmas with Shimelle I made a 10x15 cm Mini,,,,,it had too many pages ...so I made 2 minis that I bound in a long box...

Here is the top half.....
Anyway in a big rush today and I have no time to post more pics...pop over to Julia's blog to check out lots of crafty desks...
Kisses Zeffy

What's Funny???

Hi there Friends..

Yes life is funny indeed ...or should I say slightly strange and out of our control.
I started this L.O. yesterday at about lunch time....I knew my title and my journaling before I started..
I completed this L.O.late last night.with a very heavy heart...maybe the color purple is apt??
My dad who lives in Pretoria, South Africa, is very ill....I was on the phone with my sister all day yesterday...and now too.....Anyway we always live in hope, for the best.

Back to scrapbooking.....I decided to play a little in my home garden this week, so I took up the challenge at Scrapbookers In Greece and wrote about something that makes me smile and used their sketch.
You all know that I am addicted to CSI so I used Case File No.46.too.

This photo was taken one day when we were all at the beach this summer...both my sisters and our families...a big crowd, believe me....almost everybody was swimming, I was dog-sitting with my sister Vickie...Winston, said dog was very restless...I let him go and he walked around and onto most of the deck chairs...had a good smell and eventually settled on Raphaella's chair...No he is not her dog, she loves him, yes, but she loves a clean beach towel too....we thought it was funny she did not!!

For my evidence I used the grid pattern, I painted and I used texture....( My background is masked and misted,gessoed, 2 layesr, has tissue paper decoupaged onto it, is re-painted, inked ,and re-masked,and re-gessoed and re-painted!!) My translucent element is the vellum element....one only needs to use 2 pieces of evidence,but I like to go to town!!.
Keep well .....
Zeffy

My Little Cherub.

Hi there people in Blogland...
I hope that you are all very well...
Imagine my surprise when I popped into CSI to check out the colors for case File 45,  to see my face on the home page!! I took a double take and looked again yes indeed I am the lucky winner of the prize for Week 1 from The Flying Unicorn.Thank -you for your generosity!

The Little Cherub in the photo is my DGS.The photo was taken on the beach this summer.What inspired this L.O. this week, were the "Testimony" prompts.To weave a tale and the 3rd one about family and the word home in the greater sense kept on popping into my head.

As you all know I do not start with a grand plan when I scrapbook...I look through my photos and see what sparks off a little inspiration and decide what story I feel like telling...
My 'Evidence' that makes this page is:
Only one pattern paper Basic Grey, Curio 'Estate' (it has old ephemera on it)
Some cardstock, I embossed the C'ordinations for some texture.
Used a button and some metal embellishments ( fish symbolical of Christianity)

I wove a long and true story..and that decorates the one side of my L.O.and so my L.O. got its title.

"Bathing in the Seas of his Forefathers"

"Once Upon a Time a girl called Faye lived far away in Africa. One day her parents decided to move her entire family back to the land of their roots, for a safer and a more secure future. Faye was 18 and very emotional, sad and upst, she cried a lot!
Once in Greece Faye and her siblings settled down into their daily routine.One year later Faye met her Prince, later they were married. A little boy was born.

Faye took her baby to spend his first summer, home, to the island of her father and his father. The island that Faye's family call home is Lesvos. Faye was baptised there and so was here baby, that summer. He was named Synothinos.
It is custom for the Baptismal Oil and the Christmation to be washed away 3 days later by the Godparent.Little Synothinos, or Nino as we call him, was bathed in the seas of his Forefathers.

May they all live happily ever after, and may Nino grow big and strong and be blessed to also be able to go and visit the land of his father's father and his other forefathers, Constantinople."

Have a great Sunday
Love Zeffy.
ps.Constantinople is now called Istanbul.
 

Dominoes Anybody?

Hi there Crafters from all over the world~~
This is a shot of my desk this morning....it is Wednesday (again!)and WOWW
I was making altered dominoes and some fabric flowers last night...

I the corner you can see my basket with my new stash of ribbons that I won from Scrapbook Fantasies on OUAS...well almost see them as I have packet them into baggies so that the trims don't frey!

And just in case you were wondering the little pink dress is filled with all sorts of findings ,a gift from my very sweet and generous friend  Efi I believe it is a Sizzix die.
Keep well I am off for a quick squiz around on the Stamping Ground then its off to town I go.
Zeffy.

Got to love a challenge

Hi there people...
Here is a L.O. done with 3 old photos that were just lying around, they are not perfect, but I decided to tell their story.
I was inspired by various  challenges to create this L.O.
Firstly the colors at CSI #44 and then  because the main sponser there is My Minds Eye this month I challenged myself  to only use My Minds Eye papers.
As you all must have seen I was the winnner of the 50$ voucher on Sketches with A Twist last month, so I followed their sketch again and used lot of stamps to embellish my L.O.

CSI#44
I used a lot of the evidence needed this week:
 Stripes,flowers,swirls,something transparent,doily pattern.
For my testimony I wrote 4 facts about our trip to Paris on the tag and a few more details around my page.
Tag says.(in tiny writing!) "Remember how I made you walk all day in Paris, the October of '98, we were actually staying at the Ritz and you would beg that we go "home" to our comfy room and rest! I just wanted to walk and explore around the next corner and walk along the Seinne. Remember our lunch at the Jules Verne restaurant on the Eiffel Tower."
My border says" I love Paris with Pano. Remember how you surprised me with the Paris trip,  an unexpected special at the Ritz!!I mean who can turn that down? Remember how we were an hour or maybe 2 , late for lunch at the Jules Verne, due to the time difference?

For SWAT
I used the following stamps to embellish my L.O.
Hero Arts "Circle Lace" heat embossed and fussy cut.
I used this travel set a lot....can't remeber the make...help!...any way I stamped the bottom border on my page and then the film strip on acetate and I heat embossed the Fleur de Lis and the other circles.
I stamped the Hydrangea from Laura Ashley 3 time and fussy cut it...but at the end I only used a tiny centre piece.
The other 2 stamps I used for my background...the blue in the background is actually a heart I drew and stitched.
The papers I used are form My Minds Eye " The Sweetest Thing" and I fussy cut the Eiffel Tower  from a "Follow Your Heart" paper.

In fact the first inspiration about using 3 photos on a L.O. was from Get Creative, they posted first thing this month and that is when I started scratching for 3 photos that told the same story, that were already printed...that is another challenge to myself... to scrap the printed photos I have ...I mean we have an economic recession...remember?
 Go scrap an old Photo!
Bye now.
Zeffy
P.S.
TIP...when sewing over alphas put your stitch length to the max.....you see mine is a bit wonky in the beginning...
TIP 2 Mind that you don't fold alphas over as you are sewing!



 

It is still Wednesday!

Good Afternoon fellow Crafters.
Yes it is Wednesday again today....and time for WOWW over at the Stamping Ground.
I worked on two minis until late last night, and I only went to my desk now, to take a photo or two..

I finished my 'Pink' Mini for Breast Cancer Month (October) I make one each year celebrating my life, I started it at a crop on Sunday...and I want to thank my friends for the motivation, as I had no Mojo for making this mini this year, as things are very difficult in my life at the moment with this huge financial crisis in Greece!!
Anyway we were a bunch of girls and we all worked on the same project this time, a mini, it class #2 from the Cyber Crop over at UK Scrappers. It was fun working on the same project, very motivating and rather stressful as you compared your progress continuously, with the other girls...bottom line the mini got done!!
You can also see the box  for a mini that I made from Prima" Zephyr" I started this project with my friend Elvira previous crop at the begining of October,it has a mini with tags...you see it under the blue rose, I need to embellish that and stamp my tags..then it is also done.

I bought this bag at IKEA for 9.99 Euros, I thought it would work well for crops. We are a big crowd ,in fact so big that it is impossible to invite everybody to a crop at home, anyway the table is always crowded, so I thought that the bag can stand besides my chair and I can have easy access to my cutter and 30x30 papers,ect ect......it worked pretty well....word of warning, if it gets too full  and heavy it tilts over a little!!! It got full and heavy....I mean how do you know me?
Keep well, I hope that the rest of the week is good for you.
Love
Zeffy

My favourite photo

Hi there Friends.
This week I want to show you another L.O.that I made last week-end...
This photo was one of my top favourites of this summer!! It is a photo of my daughte Raphaella holding her Nephew (my Grand-Son) Nino....it was taken by my son, Michael at the luncheon after Nino's Baptism.
I want to thank the team on CSI for always inspiring me to make more L.Os!! This weeks challenge was super, and perfect for my photo!! I can't wait to see what challenge #44 will be when it gets posted tonight!

 

My paper is Glitz "Love Nest" I have used a lace die cut from Basic Grey for my mask and my mat.....GRRrrr my title and design were inspired by the challenge on Once Upon A Sketch my L.O. was finished last Sunday and but I forgot to post it on time! You snooze you lose!
Anyway back to Case File #43
I have evidence, lots of it....Damask, frame (Heidi Swapp) foilage,something transparent, patterned brad and rub-ons.
Testimony...I documented Nino's baptism that happened on the 14th of August and also how Raphaells and Nino have a special bond between them!

Happy Scrapping.
Zeffy

5 Souls I Love

Hi there dear Friends.
I spent a very peaceful day at home today...I have completed a L.O. for CSI Case File # 42

And it is a long story........My friend Eleni see previous post, did the cyber challengs on U.K Scrappers ,and she had linked up to a L.O. done in patchwork fashion, so I thought I would do that....but it never worked....late last night I received mail from Heart 2 Craft saying that Voulla challenges us to make your own Pattern Paper...and win some scrapbooking supplies!! This morning I trashed the patchwork and started making my paper.

I started with some Craft Flora Noce... I first stamped my swirls with Cobalt Archival ink, then used a cork and black Archival to stamp my circles and my script which is 1. Corinthians13, I then masked my circles with gesso.

When dry I coloured the circles with Neocolor II, colour sticks, then I sprayed with various mists,( colours on my circles changed...obviously!) and I have a large variety here!!. ...this is the result.....

Oh yes I also inked the edges...I wanted them to pick up the woodgrain of the door in my photo..I used my new  Walnut Stain...yummy colour, almost better than Vintage Photo!!

 

 

Here is my L.O

 

 So evidence is as follows....Woodgrain, in my photo and embossed on my cardstock, circles, flowers, polka dots, embossed paper.

My testimony is soppy Mom's stuff....I have written it lightly in pencil, because L.O. was too busy...and secondly the kids will tease me....I have written how Ican't live without them and  without all of their wonderful characteristics!!

I was influenced in choosing my topic for todays L.O. by Scrapbook Fantasies I hope I will get forgiven for changing up the title a bit....baby is  a little people, actually still a little soul!

Keep well....off to tackle #43

Love Zeffy.

 P.S.  XAPA means JOY in Greek...

 

Another card

Hi there Friends.
Today I played a little I made this card and a L.O.
I was inspired by Eleni or better known as the Guru, Eleni is totally into Doodling and that is why she set this card challenge at Get Creative .Pop over to her blog and take a look at all of her wonderful work!

Father Christmas is a stamped image as are the stars..I only doodled the edges, I love doodling but it is really tough on my wrists, detailed work is really hard for me after my Carpal tunnel op.
Have a good week-end.
Filakia.
Zeffy

Christmas is 2 months away!!

Hi there Scrapbooking Friends.
Even though I have not yet even thought of my Pink -Me-Mini (Breast Cancer Month),and even though I have 3 unfinished projects ....I decided to make a Christmas card!
I was so inspired by Marie's card..and Get Creative  has me in a total spin with all of their challenges!
So here it is as clean and simple as can be....

The Ballerina is from the Nutcracker Sweet stamp set from Hampton Art, and she is holding a hand-made beaded flower...
Have a good week-end .
Love Zeffy.
p.s. who feels like joining me for a little crop??

Gloomy Greece

Good -Morning Googlers...
Good-Morning from a grey and gloomy, Greece...Athens in fact.
It is Wednesday again,I mean how do the days fly by?
As you all know Wednesdays are days for a snoop around, and Miss Julia who hosts WOWW seems to be doing a bit of Halloween sewing, I think, pop over and take a look.
My desk is tidy!! Yes this is what I call tidy!!

Photo is a bit shitty due to the gloominess....center stage is my Hubbie's blue heart, he is back in S.A. so now I look at the heart...more gloominess....I also unburied a roll of genuine antique trim, that I had bought in Lesvos last summer...it is still in its original packaging!
I have half-heartidly staerted some Christmas stamping...my heart is not into it yet,,,maybe I should rather make my Pink October mini...celebrating  mr, and my life for Breast Cancer month...what do you think?

My Daughter Raphaella also left that cookie cup die-cut on my desk...I will use it as a mask...sweet.

Here is a close up...oh yes I also experimented with making some wired beaded flowers last night.
Have a happy week!
Zeffy.
