Hiya everyone!!
Today it's my father's birthday..... so I though of making a birthday card for him to just tell how much we all love him!!
I used the stamp set L'il buddies by Waltzingmouse stamps which arrived just yesterday on my mail box! I was just thrilled to find the set cause I've been waiting for ages to get it!!!! LOL
I just couldn't hold my hands away from it!!!
So here is the birthday card I created for my dad!!

I stamped this super cute lamb in black ink and used some puffy paint for hair.... I think it was quite nice...
Used my nestabilities to cut out the circles and my copics to add details.
I embossed a strip of paper and rolled over ink in three different shades of beige, brown and black. It was fun!! I had seen this tecnhique a lot of times around the bloggoland but had never tried it out!! So this was a first!!! I also used some gems which I got from Simon says stamps just yesterday as well just to add a bit of color!
And here's a little details of the little guy!!


This card was really fun to make!!! Hope you like it as much as I did!! LOL
Happy birthday Dad!!! We love you!!!

Thanks for visiting!!!

Good May morning everyone!!
Mother's day is just round the corner so I thought of making something for my mum and my mum-in-law, as they're both very special in my life!!
This is what I came up with...


I used a bronze sheet to cut out the butterfly and the flower and then embossed them. The "mother" I used comes from the set "Roses in bloom" from Waltzingmouse stamps, and I think it's one of my favorites so far!!! I simply love it.... and of course looooove its versatility!!
So I'm giving this to my mum and I'm making one more for my mother-in-law (my second mother!), to give them along with the card I made for them a few days ago!.
That's all....
Thanks for visiting and Happy Mother's Day to all moms!!!!

Happy spring!!!
Spring (or better summer with those high temperatures here!) here is at its peak!!!! I think this is my favorite time of the year... two steps away from winter and just half step away from summer!!!
I've quite lazy lately taking advantage of the beautiful weather and taking some long walks with my daughter (when this is possible in a town like Athens where there is absolutely no planning for strollers...... sniff!!). Therefore I've made no new cards lately although I've got sooo many ideas in my head!!
This is a little something I made for a friend's baby last week.

And some details.....



I stamped and heat embossed the name, I stitched the flower stems and used my big shot to cut some flowers from designer papers. I used a paper punch for the leaves. I also stamped butterflies and the grass, both from PTI stamp sets....
Hope you like it. Thanks for visiting!!
And have a super beautiful, warm, sunny and happy May!!!!!!

Good evening!!
It is late at night (or better early in the morning...lol) here in Athens and I'm still up so that I can participate in the April PTI blog hop this time!! Anyway it is the best time for me to create since inspiration comes easier at this time for me!! It's always been like this..... my mind is better working at night!!! hahaha
It is the first time I've ever participated in the monthly blog hop. Every time I have sooo many ideas about a project to meet the requirements, but when the day comes I never get around to create something.... as usual inspiration doesn't come when you mostly need it!! LOL... This time though I had time to create this card for my mother-in-law for mother's day which is just around the corner. The challenge this time was to use tissue paper, which is definitely one of the hottest trends at the moment.


So here is the card I made...



And here is a close up of one of the flowers with tissue paper.


I used a leaf stamp from turning a new leaf, one of my favorite stamp sets from PTI. The base is chocolate cardstock and I think it really helps the pink and yellows I used to pop!
It came out nicely I think....
Can't wait to share with everyone participating and hop around to visit everyone's blog!!! Inspiration will surely be flowing......
Thanks for visiting!!

I'm here again!! It's been such a long time searching for my mojo!!! I'm not sure I've found it yet.... but ever since I got this amazing set from Waltzingmouse stamps called Roses in bloom, my hands have been itching to ink it up!!!
The opportunity to use it is the blog waltz organized by Waltzingmouse today using one of their sets with the theme of Mother ... I'm not sure how it really works... Hope I've done it correctly....
So here I made a special card for my mum for taking part in the blog waltz today!!!
I colored my roses with my fave copics and I chose my favorite colors at the moment, lilac, purple, pink and thyme green... I didn't seem to have any ribbon to match this deep pink so I colored some white one with my copics...
love how it turned out. Hope my mum likes it too when she gets it...





And this is the inside of the card where I stamped the rose bud, colored it and added the verses...

Sorry this is such a sort post but I really have to run...
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the blog waltz today.... I'm sure the creations from all the ladies will be highly inspirational!!!

Long time I didn't have any time to blog and actually I had no new projects to share...
Easter has come and gone and I spent with my family taking some time off and resting for a bit...
I took sooooo many pictures of my babies... can't have enough of their pretty faces...


That's my little princess...



And my sweet prince...

I was just spending some time visiting my favorite blogs earlies and stumbled upon a giveaway by the very talented Sachiko from Tea Rose Home!!! It's a beautiful fabric... I'm thinking of fabric flowers and brooches for summer.... oh, it's sooooo springy!!!!!!
Hope I'll be back in a couple of days with a card and a project....
Thanks for visiting....
