I have been ....

Hi everyone!!!Finally a new post on my sweet (and a bit neglected) blog....!
I have been really busy the last few months,getting accustomed to new needs and to a new way of life!

Enjoy Scrapping is officially part of my every day life!! It is like a newborn baby in our family and I simply adore it!
I am so happy when my decisions and hard work are rewarded!
I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support and positive energy!!! It means so much!!


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!!

I hope your Sunday is warm and sunny just like ours!
Hugs,
Lena

Summer mini album swap.

Hi everyone!We are packing our bags!!

We will be visiting the beautiful city of Edessa and hopefully Thessaloniki too! We are going to John and Maria's wedding!! I am sooo excited! I am also having trouble on deciding if I should get more summer clothes or winter ones!!The weather doesn't help that much!! Plus I am trying to limit our luggage to ... one big suitcase and a bagpack! I trully hope I can make it!! LOL I don't like carrying tons of stuff with us! We won't have many days ahead to relax but this trip will be our getaway for this year!

So today before we depart, I decided to share with you the mini album I have sent to my swap partner  Katerina for the July-August mini album swap.

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

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
