I love samos

Hi all!

Today another page with a photo of our last summer vacation to Samos, Greece.

Kokkari is the name of this lovely little place we visited.

Did a lot of painting on the background.

The chippies got a layer of gesso.

The "I (heart) Samos" was a small sugar bag, which I took back from Greece.

We scrappers can use everything, can't we?LOL

Dusty Attic goodies used:

Fish Net Panel DA0654

ATC Frame #1 DA0673

Have a great and scrappy day!

ATC and mini tag

Hi all!

I heard the song "Radar Love" from the Dutch rock band "Golden Earring" on the radio the other day.

They had a huge number one hit in 1973.

This was my inspiration for this month ATC challenge and swap at Dusty Attic.

This month theme is 'steampunk' and these mini cogs from Dusty Attic were just perfect for it.

Misted and stamped the background.

 Painted the wooden heart with glimmer glaze.

Mini Cogs, DA0689

Also made a mini tag:

Mini Scrolls, DA0685

Hope you liked my *mini* post for today!

Hi all!

When I just finished this card, I noticed the 50 in the patterned paper. Now I have to find someone who is turning 50 since I can't send it to myself ( shhhhh, don't tell.......turning 50 this november!LOL).

Sprinkled some embossing powder on the wet gesso to create the background.

Dusty Attic chippies used:

Hour Glass, DA 0642

Enjoy your day!

mini album

Hi all!

canvas for Yiscka

Hi all!

This canvas was made for my youngest daughter Yiscka.

When she got these cute mini nail polishers from her big sis, I immediate knew what I wanted to make.

Made this canvas which reflect her personality perfectly.

She is such a happy, sunny and loving girl and she really colors my world and the world around her!

She absolutely loved this canvas and it's now proudly hanging on her bedroom wall.

Had a lot of fun making this!

First started to layering the jute, cardboard, threads, some metal parts and tooth-pics.

Covered it all with a layer of gesso.

Misted and painted it and began to embellish with the colors of the mini nail-polishers.

Used some Dusty Attic goodies.  

I'm seriously in LOVE with their chippies!

This is what a used for this canvas:

ATC Frame#1, DA 0673

Vintage Nameplate, DA 0463

Mini Wire dress form, DA 0670

And some details:

Wishing you all a sunny, happy and colorful day!
