Walk on the wild side - 7 Dots Studio July Challenge

Good morning everyone!

We have a new challenge up in the 7 Dots Studio Blog for you today!
Its theme is ANIMALS (very very cute, isn't it?)!


This is the inspirational circle


and my page





My page features one of my favourite animals, the raccoon. Mischievous and a trouble though it can be, I find it adorable!  I have combined the Nature Walk Collection with the Love is in the air - I think the blue/green combo is just perfect for my photo! 

Products used:

UWS - Destination Unknown Netting Stencil

I hope you will play with the challenge! We are always happy to see your projects in the 7 Dots blog!
Thank you for stopping by!

The journey

Good morning, my friends.
7 Dots Studio DT is guest designing team for Scrap Around the World this month and I would like to show you my own take on the lovely challenge!

A modern, colourful moodboard could only inspire me to create a similar page!  I have used 4 of the photos of the moodboard!  Stylewise I have been trying new things lately, with the purpose of refreshing my style, so in this layout I have used lots of 13 Arts Acrylic Paints (colours in thick form).  The drops of paint on the background create the impression of lightness and happiness.  




7 Dots Studio products used:  Illumination - BalanceIllumination - Word Stickers 6x12Illumination - Die-cut Tags 12x12Illumination - Die-cut Elements 6x12Soulmates - Squares Mask

The amazing moodboard is this



That's all from me now! I hope you have a great day!

Betrayal breaks the wings of trust


Hello everyone!

Today I'm coming back to you with a layout for KafeScrapoMama "Wings" Challenge, where I have the honour to be a Guest Designer. I'm always very happy to take part in the KafeScrapoMama's Challenges, because first of all, they are always very interesting and second, a true friend, Nadyunya Bilovodenko, is the heart of the blog.   When she asked me to be a guest designer for a second time (following a win of mine in a recent challenge), I just couldn't say no! THANK YOU, Nadyunya, for everything.

 


So the challenge has to do with WINGS and the idea derived from the movie "Maleficent". I don't know how many of you have watched the movie, it talks about trust, betrayal and ultimately, forgiveness. I hadn't seen the movie and this challenge was a good opportunity for me to do so.

Inspired by the black that dominates the photo of the challenge, I decided to make a mostly B&W page, which is something I haven't done in the past. When finishing my page, I added some purple, because I just couldn't do without colour!! The sequins I put was an element that I use for a first time in such an amount and was something that I liked very much in FrauMuller's pages (thank you, Natalya, for the inspiration)!





7 Dots Studio Cold Country stuff helped me adorn my page!
13 Arts Media made the background, as always!


I built the page following this lovely Scrap Africa #54 Sketch Challenge:



So I hope you like my page and you get inspired by the lovely challenge!
For more inspiration, head to the KafeScrapoMama blogpost! The DT has done a wonderful job with the challenge!

Where words fail, music speaks

Hello everyone!
Another day, another layout (quite a few of my scheduled posts happen to fall on the first days of the month)... :)

Ok today let's talk about dreams.  ScrapsNPieces July challenge is hosted by Athanasia Papantoniou and its theme is "In dreams..."

So in my dreams, where words fail, music speaks.  In reality, this rarely happens, because people usually prefer other ways to express their emotions - outbursts, attacks, angry breakdowns, tears, laughter, smiles...  well, most of the times I choose music! There must always be some music in our dreams and in our daily life!


Athanasia's wonderful moodboard



This is my layout (based on the upper right photo of the moodboard)

and an amazing paper from 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown, as well as word stickers from the Cold Country Collection




Lately I have been finding myself trying new things, experimenting more with the media and the other scrapbooking elements and I admit that I like it!

So will you play with us at ScrapsNPieces?  We are looking forward to seeing what you will come up with! The deadline for this challenge is July 26th!

Have a nice day!

Life is a gift

Good morning...
I would like to share with you my GD page for White With 1 July Challenge!
It has a different style than my previous ones, more modern, I guess.
Life is a gift indeed....



The crocheted white hearts are a gift from the ultra-talented friend Irini Liolia!


(I have used the amazing Woodbine Red of 13 Arts!)

July's colour is.... Marsala Red (the Pantone Colour of 2015)

I hope you like my take on the challenge... That's all from me now!
I'll be back soon with a new page for ScrapsNPieces!!
