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!

Get Creative November 1st challenge and more...

Last month we celebrated my love's birthday with a big heart shaped glazed chocolate cake.He loves chocolate so much that he ate the whole cake in one and a half day.I had time to grab only one tiny piece of it.

I took some pictures of him just before the disappearence of the cake and used them on my november 1st get creative layout.if you 'd like to take part in the challenge,all you have to do is use three or more photos on a single page.Go for it and good luck.


I am posting the video with the recipie,just in case......


And i am not finished yet:
Do you remember my october 7th post about the card challenges ever at get creative blog?

I have a winner!
And the winner is 
with this amazingly beautiful card:


Congrats,Natasha!You'll get your present in the following days.

I also wanted to say a big thank you to all the girls that took part in my challenge.I was pleasantly surprised to see so many lovely creations.

And I am not finished yet.....Don't go please....

A few days ago(actually it' s been more that a few) one of my scrapbooking friends gave me the Liebster award
so i must give ιτ to some of my favourite blogs with less that 200 friends.I gave it a thought and decided to give it to the folllowing:

ARTestelle:scrapbooking from Greece
Colors of Alex:a scrappy place from Sweden
Ταξιδευοντας:η άλλη όψη:Ο τίτλος τα λέει όλα

AAAAAnd if you are still here,it's time to say goodbye

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: 


great life quote.

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
xoxo

H Πρόκλησή μου για το Get Creative  
My card challenge for Get Creative

Καλημέρα σε όλες σας!
Goodmorning everyone!
Ο μήνας έχει 7 και ήρθε η σειρά μου να προκαλέσω πρώτα τον εαυτό μου,μια και είναι η πρώτη κάρτα που φτιάχνω,και μετά εσας.
It's the 7th of the month and it's my turn to challenge you
and first of all myself,
since this is the first  card I have ever made,
and then you.
Γι'αυτό διάλεξα κάτι εύκολο και απλό.Το λευκό χρώμα.Η πρόκληση λοιπόν είναι να δημιουργήσετε μια κάρτα που θα κυριαρχεί το λευκό.Στο υπόλοιπο της κάρτας,αφήστε τη φαντασία και τη δημιουργικότητα σας να εκφραστούν με ό,τι χρώμα,υλικό και τεχνική σας αρέσει.
That's why I chose something easy and simple.
My challenge is to create a card,using mostly the color white.
Feel free to complete your creation with any other colour,
material and technique you wish. 

Η κάρτα που έχω ετοιμάσει ειναι αυτή:
Τhis is the card I made:

Χρησιμοποίησα λίγο ύφασμα στο πάνω μέρος και στο κέντρο.
I used some fabric at the top of the card as well as at the centre.



Washi tape,μια λουριδίτσα χαρτί,splatters και γαζί γύρω γύρω.
Washi tape,a strip of paper,splatters and sewn all around it. 
Η νικήτρια της πρόκλησης θα κερδίσει αυτό το χειροποίητο αλμπουμ.
