I had a fantastic time yesterday! 😀
I had invited a few friends over for an informal Scrap Session and we had a blast … it’s so much fun when you share a hobby that you love with other people! 😀
Thank you girls for a wonderful productive day!!! 😀
This is what my kitchen looks like this morning as I didn’t bother picking anything up … LOL … heck, it’s Sunday today, I may even continue …
I managed to finish a mini album, one of Carolines in the Mix minibooks! 😀
Lots of fun to play with …
I’ve used K & Co Wild Safron papers, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Friends, quotes from Big Ma, stamps from Stampin’ Up, Quickutz swirls, inking and embossing! 😀
Of course my trusty BIA to put it all together … just want to add ribbons to make it more girlie, girl! 😀

Yesterday I was invited to spend the day [as it happened it the end] and a friend’s house to have an informal crop … I had an absolutely fabulous time [thank you Katerina and George for hosting,] with friends!!! We had so many laughs, and such fun just spreading EVERYTHING out and playing … I managed to complete a few layouts that I am VERY happy with!
A layout of me!
Taken during the recent February snowfall in Athens, the photos are self shot in the park across from my home! Papers are from SarahCard’s December kit, title is thickers and rubons, and the glitter snowflakes and stickers and thanks to Katerina for her snowflake brads!! They were perfect for the layout! Finally, quickutz boarder die for scallop effect.
[Thanks Nectaria for the tilt and closer together of photos!! ]
Bazzil stitching at top, Quickutz Ginger for the title, and I just traced over the motive of the paper to highlight it! Paper is Rayher a German brand that I am able to find locally! 😉 7 Gypsy journalling stamp, and fiskars shape cutter for scallop effect of paper.
Ah, a fav layout of one of my students … he’s such an angel when he wants to be!!! 😀
Papers again from SarahCard’s December Kit, brads from Katerina, title are thickers, and journaling box cut with my cookie Quickutz!
Of course had to do something pink eh?
Photos that my SIL has given me, girls at their ballet class, paper and ribbon is from SarahCard’s February Kit, title are thickers and brads.Not a bad days work, and a also talked A LOT as well as laughed!!! 😀
Off to see what I can manage to do today!!!

I did these two layouts on Monday … they are already proudly hanging on the wall at school! 😀
Happy Halloween, in Greece we don’t celebrate it, but one of my students had done and brought it to school … it was a fab idea, and an opportunity to talk about Halloween!
My B Junior class … my youngest group! 😀 They are so much fun to teach and we have such fab times together … they make me feel soooo young! 😀

These were absolutely FAB to do, and I got them from
Rebecca’s Scrapbooking Stasheverything needed came in a 12×12 envelop … it takes a bit of time to put it together … I personalised it by adding the name licence plates … everything went thru the Bind it All, apart from the thicker wooden coaster … I just traced around a piece of chipboard and used that!
Haven’t added photos and journalling yet, but will leave some blank for my nieces themselves to play with it! 😀
Time to go back to the scrap area! 😀
