I love Christmas

Here is a card telling you why I love Christmas so much!



Christmas decoration and gifts! What more can you ask?
Making the card was really fun, I just made 3 triangles out of a green paper which I distressed using my scissors and I also used some distress ink by Tim Holtz on the edges. I have glued the triangles the one on top of the other. I used 3d foam glue only on the bottom of the triangles to make them pop.
The gifts are just squares of designer paper wrapped in ribbon. Some faux stitching using my white gel pen and we are ready!

Materials

Hero Arts ATC Swap

I have decided on the design of the ATC I am creating for the European ATC swap.
It's so cute!
But I have to make 10 of them and I only got the time to make 4... the weekend is coming so I'll catch up ...
Should I post a sneak peek? No I don't want to ruin the surprise!

Blog Action Day

My new sketchbook and a notebook!

Following Kristina's idea and instructions here is what I came up with

A fun sketchbook where I keep my ideas, I tend to take it with me in my bag all the time so I can quickly sketch whatever comes to mind and it's already half full!


They say "an elephant never forgets" so here is my notebook where I write my TO DO list. This one instead of frames to draw it has just lines to write, as simple as that ... but always in my bag and very useful.



Love them both! Thanks Kristina!

As I've told you a couple of post ago I am in the process of creating a template and make another one based on the same instructions but for another use... I'll let you know when I am done and share the template as well.

Paper piecing card

Taking part at this weeks challenge on the Hero Arts blog
Here is my entry ...


It's a clean and simple card I've made using the CL177 Hello bird and CL320 Designer fruits stamps by Hero Arts.
I have embossed the apples on patterned papers before cutting them out and I also used some faux stitching.

New Supplies!!!!

New supplies just arrived! So happy they are finally here.
Living in Greece is great but finding scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies here is impossible.
So I get everything online!

Take a look at my new supplies:

1. Ranger Inkssentials Blending Tool great tool for applying distressed ink, already had one but one is never enough, I prefer not to have to change the little foam pads all the time
2. Ranger Inkssentials Ink Blending Foam, 10 Per Package to accompany the first one...
3. Ranger Inkssentials WHITE OPAQUE PEN (x2 so I don't have to order every time)
4. COLORBOX QUEUE RICH RUSTICS
5. COLORBOX QUEUE Fall

TGIF so hopefully I'll be creative tonight. Stay tuned for updates!

ATC Swap on HeroArts blog!

I have signed in for the Hero Arts ATC swap! I am so excited!
I am currently experimenting with the ATCs I am gonna make and by mid November hopefully I'll post 10 ATCs... the 9 I'll receive from the other girls of my group and one I'll design!
You can read more about it here.

In the meanwhile I am also working on a project based on this one by Kristina Werner.
Hopefully I'll give away free .pdf or .doc files for the inside sheets as well as a video on how it looks like! It's gonna be a booklet but I am not currently revealing the purpose of it!
Thank you Kristina for the inspiration!

And I have to start creating scrapbook pages again... all these great summer photos are still waiting...
