A guilty pleasure in June

Once upon a sketch challenge  for June:

Theme: What's your guilty pleasure?

Oh yes! We all get some sort of pleasure from something we really shouldn't. What's yours? 

Ideas for journalling: scrapping, time alone, food, going to a concert, a T.V show, time in the garden, playing , Facebook, your iphone, shopping, bags, shoes, computer time, designing, creating etc etc

Your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch below.

Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is . You are allowed to journal in any language but please tell us where on your page we will find your journalling. Remember journalling has to be a bit more than a title, or a generic comment. Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.

And here is my layout:

 I have never ever tasted trifle before this.I love this soooo much and the only reason I don't make it very often is that it's too fattening.So I only make it on special occasions.I even bought those beautiful old fashioned glasses for this chocolate pleasure.

I am giving you the link here in case you really need it.

The best day is not only one

I I believe there are lots of best days in our lives.

I f somenone had asked me a couple of years before about my best day,I would have said it was when IKEA opened in my hometown or when I recieved my first scrapbooking supplies ever!!!!

When my baby was born I thought that this was the one.THE BEST.But almost three months later I think that every new day is better that the previous.So now I have many many of them in a row(well maybe I am exaggerating a bit but I know you get the point).I am lucky.What can I say?

Nevertheless I had to choose one day for the OUAS April challenge,so I picked the day she was born.The first of many to cοme.

 Take care

It's the 15th already

This year i was supposed to make  melomakarona and kourabiedes but everything changed.....I am not allowed to eat most of the things i used to.Pregnancy diabetes....

So, no christmas treats,no sugar,no pork(bye bye christmas dinner),no nothing.

That's why i bought those felt gingerbread people to replace some of the christmas baking.As soon as i got home i realised that i had to scrap about them.They are so cute!!!!

This is my take for OUAS december challenge:

And a closer look ......

 

There's a lot more to see and get inspired at the blog.So hop there for the complete picture.

Hope you like it and thank you for stopping by.

Always there

It's the 15th of November already and it seems like this prolonged summer in Greece has come to an end.

So it's time for a new challenge and a new layout for Once upon a sketch blog.

This is my take:

 

This is my two year old nephew,who's always present everywhere we go.Everywhere!Here,he's on a ride with the IKEA cart.

Go over the blog to see the prizes and the sketch.And stay tuned,because tomorrow I'll be back.And this is not a threat!

Capture the good times

One of my love's  most favourite times of the year,is when he's prepearing for the annual bridge tournament.He keeps repeating that everytime a deal comes to an end you have to leave everything behind and focus on the next.Stop thinking what went wrong and keep playing.There is time for evaluation when the day comes to an end.Take a new shot every time.

This is what came to my mind when i saw this: 

and this is what i came up with

There is also a sketch to follow but it would be better to visit the blog Once Upon A Sketch to see it and take a look at the prizes for the winners of the challenge.

Just for the record...his team didn't go very well but he came back from Athens really happy.

Before  i  leave you i would like to thank  my friend Aliki for sending me those beautiful heart shaped paper clips.

So bye bye and
