My Card challenge winner!!!

Where did the time go???

Once again the Get Creative month long card challenges is over … and we have THiRTEEN winners on the blog for you to see …

Choosing winners was incredibly hard again this year … as there were so many amazing entries …

The winner of my Doodling challenge really won me over with this card!!!

Meletini, inspired by the National Holiday created this one of a kind card, using dooding to create the image of the White Tower of Thesaloniki … it really touched my heart!!!

 

I also wanted to share some more of my favourite cards:

Rania for using the doodling to give ‘shape’ to her houses & hearts!

Erina for not one but two beautiful entries although I loved the tapestry of doodling as a background in this card!

 

Melitini once again, with her detailed doodling here! Thank you for sharing who inspired you!

… and Eleni’s doodling which creates a great ‘pattern paper’ – like design!!!

I could go on adding more cards … they were all wonderful and I feel honoured that you took your precious time to enter!!!

 

So, Thank you again EVERYONE who took part in my challenge .. and it ALL the challenges … we couldn’t do it without you …

Get Creative CARD challenge

Good morning!

Have you been enjoying the challenges so far over at GET CREATIVE!!!!

The 11th card challenge for this month is from me!!!

Your challenge is to make a card using   doodling!!!

 

What is doodling, you say? Take a look here ! You can use it as your sentiment, your image,  make a frame, let your imagination go and just doodle!

Here is my card …

As you can see I’ve doodled the woman’s ‘hair’, the border around the diecut, the border around the card & the sentiment on the bottom.

Here are some close ups of the Doodling:

Saturday Art Journalling Class II

Saturday, saturday … what a fun day …

I was lucky enough to manage to do a class with Myrto who does amazing work with Art Journalling and book binding …

I had a little book and kept notes … 🙂 🙂 🙂 and just soaked up the whole experience … we learned quite a few things … and did a few pages …

Here is an incomplete one …..

PA071221 

Here is one that we finished …but it needs a title or sentiment I think ….

PA071219

… and the one that I’m especially proud of, and love the way it turned out …

PA071220

It was so much fun to try and play with new things … to experience and explore techniques that I didn’t know …

 

Hope that next week I’ll find more time to try more pages … and if you ever get a chance to do a class with Myrto you won’t regret it!

The Craft Garden October Challenge

The Craft Garden has a lovely Recipe Challenge this month … each member of the Design Team added an ingredient, and we have been cooking up a storm …

 

Your challenge is to choose 4 of the following ingredients to make your card / layout / tag / altered item:

buttons, banner, flowers, pink, ribbon, a tag, sparkle

Here is my take on the challenge:

PA011215

 

This weekend my Sister-in-law Irini, was here in Athens to present her thesis paper for her Master degree with the Open University … I was her personal audience and it was so brilliant to spend time with her!!! I was so proud of her, and she got a PERFECT 10 score!!!

This photo was taken of us before she married my brother in 1996 … I may not have a sister by birth but I’ve been blessed with a sister in Irini! 🙂

 

 PA011216

 

I added pink acryllic paint to the 3 D paste and used a mask to make the design … adding a button to centre of flower … 

PA011217

 

Lots of Graphic 45 tags … some more pink 3 D paste … ribbon …

 PA011218

The ‘LOVE” is a sticker by Basic grey … I’ve added pink distress stickles … more buttons & twine!

 

Why don’t you go over to the Craft Garden’s blog to check out the rest of the design team’s works of art … I look forward to seeing your entries as well!!!
