According to me

Hello, hello!!!!

February is already here and I hope it will be a very creative month for all of us scrappers!

We have a suprise for you this month!!

Nadia Cannizzo and Irini brainstormed one day and came up with the idea of partnering up their challenge blogs, i.e Once Upon A.... Sketch team up with Get Creative

We will be sister blogs for the month of February the twist is the Once Upon A ...Sketch Design team will be featuring their gorgeous creations on Get Creative using sketches from our very own Elina katechi and the Get Creative Design team will be featuring their fabulous creations over at Once Upon A...Sketch......

How it will work:

Get Creative we will have 2 challenges this month, on the 1st and the 15th of February - you can interpret the sketch into a card or layout.  The February 1st sketch challenge will run until midnight February 14th.

So upload your layout or card then the winner will be chosen by the Once Upon A...Sketch design team

To find out more about what prizes are being offered head on over to Once Upon A....Sketch and Get Creative!

I personally feel that it's a tremendous honour to have a page of mine in display at OUAS, so I thank both Irini & Nadia for this chance!! 

Let's go see the February 1st challenge now

February 1st Challenge

Journalling Criteria/theme: LOVE

February 15th is Valentines Day here in Australia and in many parts of the world. For this challenge we would like you to create a project about the one MALE you love. And we do not mean just your partner or spouse. We mean any male in your life. 

Ideas for journalling: You could journal about the love you have for your son, father, grandfather or a special person in your life or any pet.

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote. 

You must combine our journalling criteria/theme with this sketch

This is my take on the challenge

I think there's not much to say about the person this layout is dedicated to.  He's the man of my life and to me, he's just gorgeous.  

I always have a trouble when interpreting circles, so I struggled a bit with that.  The only idea I had was to crinkle the lilac patterned paper - {a technique that some Scandinavian scrappers do (by the way, let me say that I ADORE the scandinavian scrapbooking)} -, which was square, and make it look like a circle.  The girls from the North tend to crinkle their papers quite often, whereas I pity them and store them.  Too bad for me, I assume.  Anyway..

One last thing: the journalling comes from one of my favourite songs "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars.  I adjusted it, of course, accordingly.

I hope you will get inspired by the challenge and make a page about one beloved male in your life...
