I scrap because

It seems that during the last couple of days, I'm in a roll...
I scrap like crazy, even though there are so many things to do before Saturday.
I will be leaving for a 3-week trip to Athens on Saturday for educational reasons
(I won't say that I'm complaining lol)...

I'm very excited about that, because
1. I will have 3 weeks of regular sleep (no night shifts)
2. I will get to meet my scrapping friends in Athens (looking forward to it, girls!)
3. I will go for some endless shopping sprees!!!!!


Ahem... back to scrapbooking now... :)

So today I played with the Once Upon A Sketch Nov 1st challenge!
I liked the theme of the challenge that lovely Nadia set,
which was to make a page telling why we scrap and when we started scrapbooking.

I also liked her sketch - I found it even more inspiring when I flipped it to the right.

This is the result and some details
(yes I know, it's not like any previous layouts you have seen from me up to now
It's all about empty space + layering)










Please have in mind that most probably I won't have any Internet access in Athens (although I have already scheduled my next posts), so I won't be able to comment in other blogs or email anyone!!

Ok that's all from me now!!!
