Good morning everyone,

It seems like yesterday but time goes by really fast!

My kids were born just a week apart (plus some years lol),

so we celebrate their birthdays together in a big party!

Last Sunday it was my son's birthday and today it's my daughter's!

I just sit there and look at them playing, giggling and smiling.... It's the ultimate happiness!!

So we had a party, and lots of balloons, candies, cupcakes, presents and a wishbook from mommy of course!

Here are some photos of the wish-book and the party!

Have a lovely Sunday!

I have been really busy the last few months,getting accustomed to new needs and to a new way of life!

I have been down with the flu.... the whole family actually...Our nights are short with our kids wandering around, coughing and having temperature...

Remember the mini I had started? Well yesterday morning my inspiration and I finally met again and I took advantage of it!LOL
I started it again from scratch and ...
This is the mini album I came up with and it took me about 24 hours!I used the Green at Heart kit plus the Fabric Delight - Vert Leaf and some embellishments from the Die cuts paper cuts

Finally I want you to know that I have been trying to keep up with your blog posts,
I am so sorry that I can't leave you all a comment for your beautiful creations....
I have been looking at them though and I am really happy to see you are inspired and creative!!

Some catching up ....

2010-12-12T00:14:00.000+02:00

It has been a while since my last post but trust me it has been a busy month!

My kids enjoy all my limited free time but I love being close to them!!

So here are some of the things we did together!

My son and his classmates visited a factory that produces olive oil in our area and

they had a great time there!

Here is the "train" they make each time they wanted to move around.

He learned many things there and he even got a present : an olive oil soap!!That made his day even better!

The other day my son had his nameday and we decided to offer some candy to his classmates!My daughter was 'helping' us any way she could!LOL She was so excited

We made a complete mess of course and our kitchen was covered with tiny little paper scraps but that's all about scrapping! Here is the result :

Christmas are almost here,and winter finally decided to come!

So I am sending you lots of warm wishes for the rest of the weekend!

Take care and Enjoy Scrapping!!

I proudly present you....Enjoy Scrapping!

2010-11-25T14:11:00.008+02:00

This is a day my dream has finally come true!!

I proudly present you:

Enjoy Scrapping

We are crafting .... after a long time!

2010-11-20T21:38:00.000+02:00

Hi everyone!! It has been quite a while since my last post and that's because I am just trying to follow one of my dreams! I will be having my own scrapbooking eshop!! It will be ready next week and I am simply sooo excited!Of course my free time is history but I love every step I take!

Tonight my son was feeling ... crafty and wanted to punch and stick so I thought it would be a great idea to make some simple cards all together!My daughter participated too!!She loves making a mess!LOL

So here we are crafting!!

My daughter having fun ....

This is Nikola's card.He decorated the back and the front with snowflake punch-outs

and we did some stamping too,

and here are the steps to make simple Christmas cards:

First I took a piece of cardstock and folded it, then I cut some patterned paper and a Christmas tree punch-out,

I stamped on the tree,

Used a 2nd punch-out

Adhered with some foams pads the trees and added some sequins,

Finally assembled the card

Thank you for stopping by today!Enjoy the weekend!

Βιβλίο ευχών: Ο βυθός της θάλασσας - Wish book: Under the sea

A messy floor!

2010-08-12T09:09:00.002+03:00

Hi everyone!

I can't believe how fast this summer is passing by! I feel we are living our lives in fast forward!

So much to do and so little time!!

Do you love a messy floor?This is what we did to ours!Guess who did the cleaning LOL

well we managed to clean everything and paint the wall!The wardrobe is almost in its place

(you can see part of it in the second photo)

and our clothes are waiting patiently on my sofa to be put in!

I still have 10 more days until I go back to work so time is precious!!

We are getting ready for the beach today!!We managed to go swimming yesterday too!The sea is simply awesome in the morning! I hope you are enjoying the summer sea and sun!
Don't forget the sunscreen! ;)

A 'princess and the frog' card

2010-08-08T17:57:00.000+03:00

Today I would like to share this cute little card I made for a fairy princess.

I was looking forward to using this Magnolia stamp for so long

but all my projects lately were all about boys!

So here it finally is!Pink and girly!

This is how I made the card:

First of all I stamped and coloured the Tilda and then I cut the image.

My next step was to cut this nestability die I had also not used (I need to make a catalogue of what I have because sometimes I forget things in my bottom drawer )!! This die reminds me of a doily and that's why I had bought it in the first place.Then I painted it with shell pink dabber

Cut my cardstock,scored it and used my flower corner punch

Used the same border punch to make a tiny garden and used my snow cap dabber on the edges

and then started putting them all together

a flower on top and a sentiment ... the card is ready!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments...

They really mean a lot to me!

A birthday card for a boy!

2010-08-07T17:30:00.000+03:00

I have a birthday card to share with you today! It is for a shining little star!

Happy birthday Stavro!

The stamps are from Hero arts and I have added some white tails with my Sakura pen.

This was a difficult week for us since my son had a flu....He had fever and was coughing all day and all night long.He is feeling better now and I hope that my daughter hasn't got the flu too....

We will soon know!

Things were left a bit behind and I need to start creating!!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

With a brush in my hand!

2010-08-03T20:12:00.001+03:00

Hello everyone!do you like painting with a brush? Is that a yes?
I have been painting for the last few weeks and I can say I enjoyed it!
My hubby and I have been painting and redecorating a small kitchenette into a wardrobe and decided to 'expand' our .... activities!
We realized that the room we use as an office needed a redecoration too so there we were painting the walls , taking everything apart and then putting them back together again.Our kids want to participate too and that complicates things LOL So we work when they are asleep....!

The good thing is that it's a great way to keep fit, since I have been cooking and eating a lot lately...LOL
So here come some photos!After everything is back into place I will post some more!Take a look!

this is me on a ladder... painting!

After we took the kitchenette's cupboards out of the way ,

we had to fight mould too!

this was the next stage

and here is the office

finally the office is almost done!My hubby and son are on their pc,relaxing!

There are still lots to be done .... but I have found time to scrap!!Late at night of course...Some projects will be up soon!Ok time to get busy again!
Thank you for stopping by my blog today!Enjoy scrapping!

A summer mini album (tutorial) - Eνα καλοκαιρινο μινι αλμπουμ

2010-07-24T09:46:00.005+03:00

I love summertime !

It is a great time to take fantastic photos and have fun with friends!
This is a mini for my friend Vicky to fill it in with her holiday memories from July.As she told me this will be the first mini album she will ever receive, since she hasn't participated in any mini album swaps yet.

So here is a quick tutorial on how I made this mini
First of all you cut the chipboard pieces you'll need and paint their edges

Then you choose the paper you like to use and adhere them on the chipboard.You can distress the edges according to the look you want your mini to have.

Now it's time to embelish!!

You'll end up with something like this

and now it's time to bind your mini!

I chose a binding ring for this mini.First you punch the first hole on your cover and then you mark your next punch like this on your next page(after you have aligned the pages)

After you have punched all your pages it's time to bind them with your ring.

Your mini is ready!Your memories through your photos will fill its pages

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5tQ88JCgWc

Thanks everyone for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

"Look mommy!!!!"

2010-07-18T10:12:00.004+03:00

I just LOVE my daughter's expression in this photo!She simply adored this cute dollie and wanted to grab her all the time!! LOL I decided to use it in this layout I made, for the competition the Memories Trend is organising this weekend .

We had to use a banner as the main embellishment of the layout so I used these flowers and a border from Echo park collection , along with a stripe of My Little Shoebox paper and some thickers!

Thank you so much for stopping by!Have a wonderful Sunday!

A mini birthday wish-book for a boy - Μίνι βιβλίο ευχών για τα γενεθλια του Αντώνη!

A small card for a little miracle!

2010-07-04T10:12:00.001+03:00

Oh my!July is here!!My vacations have started two days ago!!

I am so excited!

I will finally have enough time to do a lot of things in my house and hopefully relax too!

I have been trying to transform a small kitchen in the back of the house into a wardrobe. I suddenly found myself having so many clothes for my kids!Has this ever happened to any of you? Our relatives and friends had given us some,our grannies bought us lots ..... so they have piled up! I'll just donate the ones that don't fit them and make some more room to organise all our clothes better. I just hate ironing -it's getting really hot lately- and putting away clothes all the time!

We will be off to the beach in a while for a swim ,

so today I would like to share a card I made yesterday for a little boy

It is so simple to make and I really loved the result! Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely Sunday!

By the way ,today is the last day to subscribe for the Greek mini album swap!You'll have until the 23rd of August to post your mini album to your partner, so that we can all enjoy our holidays and create with no stress.Just post a comment in this topic http://scrapgreece.ning.com/forum/topics/july-and-august-2010-mini-1 I can't wait to get started!!

Layouts for the Greek cyber crop

2010-06-28T12:05:00.001+03:00

This was a fast weekend , the days just flew away....

but we had the first Greek cyber crop so I found the chance to scrap a bit more!

The first challenge was from Melenia.We had to follow a sketch.I knew exactly what I would make!

Have you ever been to Samos island? Well I have to tell you it's one of the best Greek islands! It combines blue seas and green mountains! I definately recommend it if you don't have it already in your list!

My first layout was all about it!!

The second challenge was from Irini and my inspiration were my children!Blue and pink rule!!LOL

There will be some more challenges on soon, after the crop of course! Family comes always first!!

Βιβλιο Ευχων - Φωτογραφιων . A wish book with space for photos.

2010-06-26T01:37:00.000+03:00

Το βιβλιο ευχων που θα δειτε μου ζητηθηκε για την βαφτιση ενος γλυκου αγοριου, που θα γινει την αλλη εβδομαδα!

Το κυριαρχο θεμα ηταν η αγαπη για τα αλογα. Συνδιασα οπως και στο βιβλιο ευχων της κορης μου, χωρο για ευχες αλλα και για φωτογραφιες! Στην τελευταια σελιδα συμπεριελαβα μια τσεπη για τις καρτες της βαφτισης .

Πιστευω οτι τα βιβλια ευχων ειναι ενα καταπληκτικο ενθυμιο για εμας αλλα πανω απο ολα και για τα παιδια μας. Κατι που μενει και κατι που ειναι μοναδικο μιας και ειναι χειροποιητο εξολοκληρου!

Το συγκεκριμενο φτιαχτηκε με πολυ αγαπη!Ελπιζω να φαινεται!

I was asked to make this wish book for the christening of a sweet little boy!

The main topic was the love for the horses. I combined, just like I did in my daughter's wish book, both space for wishes and for photographs! In the last page I included a pocket for the cards they will receive from their guests.

I believe that each wish book is an amazing way to keep memories not only for us but mainly for our children. It is something that will last through the years, something that is unique and handmade with love...

Awards and cyber crop updates!

2010-06-25T17:55:00.002+03:00

I was really surprised and happy to receive 2 awards for my blog from Maria Z which are really appreciated!Thank you so much Maria for both of them!

Now about the cyber crop updates...
There were some pre-challenges , just to warm us up a bit before the crop and I submitted this tag for the first pre-challenge. I have glimmer misted both the tag and the flower and embossed the stamped image with black embossing powder, then I put some distressing ink on it , a tiny bead as the flower centre and there we go!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

A belated birthday card to a friend ...

2010-05-23T23:11:00.004+03:00

It has actually been a long time since the last time I made a card but here is one I finished yesterday and it's for a friend's birthday.Her daughter's birthday will be celebrated soon too, so I wanted to to incorporate 2 cards in one! I got inspired by the Whiff of Joy stamps Tutorials and inspiration but the style of my card is quite different ... I used vivid colours and playful stamps! I even experimented with some copic markers I have, in order to colour the little fox...But I really need a lot of practice!!!
(plus many more copic markers!!!LOL)

We have winner(s)!!

The day of the baptism of my daughter is getting really close so the finishing touches on the wish-book were made and it is ready to be filled in with lovely wishes from our guests!

It is 20x20cm and has 12 inside pages!There is actually space in one page for wishes and hopefully I'll put some of the photos of the baptism on the patterned paper pages

(unless they decide to write in all of them LOL).

Its theme is fairies and spring so the colours are vivid !Just the way I like them!

Have a look....

Η ημέρα της βάφτισης της κόρης μου πλησιάζει κι ετσι έτσι οι τελευταίες πινελιές στο βιβλίο ευχών έγιναν και είναι έτοιμο να γεμισεί μέ υπέροχες ευχές από τους καλεσμενους μας!

Είναι 20x20εκ και έχει 12 εσωτερικές σελίδες! Υπάρχει χωρος σε καθε σελίδα για τις ευχές και θα βάλω μερικές από τις φωτογραφίες της βάφτισης στις σελίδες που ειναι ντυμενες με χαρτιά με γκλιτερ και σχεδια (εκτός αν αποφασίζουν να γράψουν σε όλες τις σελιδες!)

Το θέμα είναι νεράιδες και άνοιξη έτσι τα χρώματα είναι ζωηρά!Οπως ακριβως μου αρεσουν!
Ρίξτε μια ματιά....

Εδω μπορειτε να το δειτε ολοκληρο στο παρακατω βιντεο!

Ευχαριστω που περασατε σημερα απο το blog μου!

Have a look!

I love being creative...

2010-02-15T16:46:00.006+02:00

Ok, this weekend I had more free time and enough inspiration in the room to be creative!
I have almost finished my mini album for the Greek mini album swap, I am helping my 4 year old son to make his first mini album ever, for Mateo in the US.Plus I am putting together my kit for the swap I am participating in!
Oh I wish I was always relaxed and creative, just like now, but I am still a working mom and wife, so free time will be precious once again. It's ok my family comes always first!
My kids and husband are my precious treasures so my creativity follows...
Last night I made a butterfy tag too! I glimmer misted the tag with burned red ,embossed it with my big shot , added some tattered rose distress ink on the edges, stamped with stazon and embelished it!
Have a look at the tag and more photos and videos from all of my projects will be on the way soon!

February 2010 Crop Challenge #3

2010-02-07T20:12:00.001+02:00

This is my entry for the February 2010 Crop Challenge #3 in Life on the scrapbeach
The third challenge is to make a layout, card or other project using the shadow stamping technique.
I decided to make a tag.
I think I did well considering this is the first time I am trying this technique! I stamped with Versamark and then with Stazon.Embossed the edges with gold embosing powder but not the actual image.Nevertheless the powder left a gold shadow effect on the cardstock!
I also made a butterfy embelishment.I embossed it with black embossing powder,coloured it and then put some glossy accents on the colour!
I would appreciate your comments!

A sneak peak for Panagiota!!!

2010-02-06T18:04:00.001+02:00
