My Birthday Book
Well, it’s not mine, but I did make it for a sweet little boy … Dimitraki is ONE year old this Sunday … when did the time fly? Amazingly quickly!! At the moment he is on Naxos with his Mom and Grandma … his dad and other Grandma travel tomorrow to see him … so I’m sending the book which i finished this morning ….
I used chipboard to make the book … creating a window on the cover, so that you can see the impish little boy shine through!!!
The huge dimensional chipboard stickers, are all part of one set, designed to be room stickers!!! I found them in a local bookshop and thought they’d be perfect for this project.
I’ve used 5 sheets of Basic Grey for the background and designs from the new Oliver and the older Romany for the bits, tags, frames.
It was a lot of fun to make and I hope my cousin likes it!!! 🙂
You can press on the small thumb-tail photos to see them larger and in detail. So here are the pages:

Just a week old!

Space for wishes, and I've written mine!
Creating endless space by using tags, and a pocket made with acertate!

Scapbooking in Greece’s 11th Challenge
Every month, Elina sets a challenge at the Scrapbooking in Greece blog and this month challenge was to use some sort of hybrid scrapbooking in a layout …
I started out with this freebie that I got from the gallery in the Digital Scrapbook Place …
I printed it out twice, cut some aspects of it and added them with 3D foam pads, stitched some parts, and used stickles on other parts, stamped some writing at the top, cut the holes on the left with my cropodile, and added more ribbon … cut out the windows and put my photos …
As it was an 8X8 in. printout, I placed it on a 12X12 in. background, couldn’t decided on the colour, so used two colours, and embossed in the cuttlebug.
As there was a butterfly in the printing, I added a few more butterflies as well!!!
The title is my nieces name in Greek which the girls at Sfragidomania did for me!
… and this is what I ended up with:

I’ve moved!!
Everything has come over to WordPress.com. I find that this system was a lot easier to manage and keep, I plan on keeping it simpler, not too many gadgets and wingdings but hopefully it will be HOME!!

Brillant idea … and actually I can easily create 4 layouts instead of one for this challenge
Here is what I came up with!
Lots of Basic Grey here …from the paper to the bling to the rub ons …
My Mom with all here granddaughters …
