Bingo and invisible feet

Γενικά δε μ'αρέσει να βγαίνω φωτογραφίες.Ο λόγος είναι απλούστατος:Φωτογένεια μηδέν.

Δεν είναι πως θέλω να βλέπω τον εαυτό μου σούπερ όμορφο(είναι λίγο κι αυτό),αλλά τουλάχιστον θα ήθελα να προσεγγίζω την πραγματική μου εικόνα.Δυσκολα πράγματα,εκτός κι αν με φωτογράφιζε ο Helmut Newton,που έχει αποδημίσει εις κύριον εδώ και χρόνια.Οπότε η ελπίδα πέθανε.

In general i hate standing in front of a camera.The reason is that i am the least photogenic person in the world.It's not a matter of vanity.Well maybe it is a little bit.But i wish i could see more of the real me in those pics.Difficult.Maybe my dream could come true if Helmut Newton took some pics of me but he's dead so i've stopped dreaming.

Ειδικά τώρα που διανύω την 33η εβδομάδα εγγυμοσύνης,κι έχω γίνει σαν μπόγος,η προοπτική του να με απαθανατίσει κάποιος,είναι μηδενική.Παρ'όλα αυτά η Ειρήνη μου είπε ότι πρέπει να έχω μερικές φωτό για να δείχνω στο παιδί μου,όταν μεγαλώσει λίγο.Δεν το είχα σκεφτεί,αλλά είπα να κάνω την αρχή με τα πόδια.Αυτά τα πόδια που δεν βλέπω.

Especially now that i am in the 33rd week of my pregnancy and i am rounder than ever,this is out of the question.But Irini told me that i had to have some photos of me pregnant,to show my baby when she grows up.The truth is that i hadn't thought about it,so i started with my feet.Those feet, i can't see anymore. 

Χρησιμοποίησα τη συγκεκριμένη φωτογραφία για το bingo challenge,που ανοίγει το μήνα Δεκέμβριο στο get creative.

I used the "feet" photo for the bingo challenge,which is the 1st for december at get creative.

 

H κάρτα bingo είναι η εξής:

Και η δική μου εκδοχη με την τριπλέτα pattern paper-paint-stitching:

  

Τα πόδια είναι αυτά τα αυτάκια αρκούδας που βλέπετε στο βάθος.

Εσείς μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε όποιον αλλον συνδυασμο θέλετε οριζόντια,κάθετα ή διαγώνια.Για περισσότερς λεπτομέρειες μπορείτε να επισκεφτείτε το blog.

You can use any other combination you wish(I used pattern paper-paint-stitching)vertically,horizontally or diagonally.

Αυτά για σήμερα.

That's all for today

xoxo 

 

Playing pool

Η αγάπη μου παίζει μπιλιάρδο στο μαγαζί ενός φίλου μας.Η σελίδα μου απαρνήθηκε τον ασπρο της φόντο και νομίζω ότι δικαίωσε τον εαυτό της(ευλογάω λίγο τα γένια μου τώρα αλλά δε γίνεται αλλιώς,μια και είχα καιρό να νιώσω τόσο καλά φτιάχνοντας κάτι).

Για το δεύτερο 15μερο του νοεμβρίου και για το αγαπημένο get creative(σπεύσατε για λεπτομέρειες)......

My love is playing pool at a friend's place.My page got rid off its white background and i think it came out really well(can't help but praising) it,since i haven't felt so satisfied with something i made for a very long time.

This is the page i made for my beloved get creative(go over for the challenge details)

 Take a closer look

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!

xoxo

 

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 

Natasha Tsouf 

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

xoxo 

 

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

xoxo

I challenge you to.....

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.
