Busy Week!

| cristina

This has been a super busy week so far and I’m really glad it’s a short week! Can’t wait for tomorrow to be over, so I can finally relax and scrap! 😉

Anyway, Monday night I did my page for Week 3 of the ScrapOrchard CT contest. I have to say that even this week the kit was not my typical style (yes, again!), but I LOVE the page I did!

Yes, I really love this page. It’s totally my style and I loved playing with this kit!
I started out thinking I might try my hand at a fantasy LO, but that just isn’t my style: so I incorporated what I had done (the watercolor blue/green paper, tower and the princess) as a scene in my LO. 😉 So, yes, it turned out to be totally ‘me’: bright colors, pretty elements, journaling.. Maybe a bit too cluttered, but I love it. I really hope to pass this turn but I know it’s going to be super tough. The gallery is filled with amazing entries and I feel like I should have spent more time on my page to get a shot on making the cut.. But hey, that’s what I came up with, and I love it, and I hope it’s good enough!

I made this cupcakes during my mom’s visit, and she picked the US theme. 😉 I’m very happy with how they turned out, because red is very hard to obtain when coloring fondant, but I think it turned out very nicely!

Project 365 and Other News

Last week I didn’t do my P365 page because my mom was here and I didn’t have time for it, but this weekend I did 2 weeks’ worth of pages and I’m all caught up again. 🙂

I love the summery colors of these pages! 😉

And, some excellent news: I made it through the second cut in the CT contest at Scrap Orchard and I’m now in week 3!! This cut was a big one and only half of the contestants are going on: I feel so lucky to be going on!

Page Done with Mini Sampler

| cristina

The CT call for Mari Koegelenberg was different from the usual calls: she wanted the applicants to use a mini sampler of her designs to create a LO or a hybrid project. Here’s what I did:

I’m quite happy with the result, and what’s more important it got me a place in her amazingly talented team!! 🙂

W00T!!

Check out my new blinkie:

I’m so happy to be creating for Mari Koegelenberg!! She’s so talented and I know I’ll have lots of fun playing with her stuff! 😉

Finally Friday

| cristina

There’s a bunch of new products out today at ScrapMatters and I used one right away to make this page:

I used Girl’s Power by Chelle’s Creations: it’s a Girl Scout kit but it works beautifully for other pages too! 😉 I fell in love with that blue background paper.. simply gorgeous!!

On another note: gosh, I miss my mum!!!! It was so great to have her here! I really wish my parents and grandmother lived nearby.. *sigh*

Giveaways

| cristina

I cannot resist entering a good giveaway, and there’s more than one out there! 🙂

Some hybrid goodies at Doodle Palace that I’m drooling over..

And some very cute projects at The Hybrid Chick too! I’m in love with these little mini albums by Mari Koegelenberg!!

Another Contest

| cristina

I got through week 1 of the CT contest at ScrapOrchard, but when I saw the kit for Week 2 I got worried because it’s not my style of choice.. But I gave it a try and I’m SO glad I did: I love the page I did – totally my style! 😉
This page came together in no time: I downloaded the kit and started working on the LO last night before bedtime, and finished it this morning during breakfast! 😉

So, I really hope I make it to week 3: we’ll see! The didn’t cut too many people last week (we went from 130 to 99) so I’m expecting more cuts this week, since it’s a 4-week contest and we’re almost half-way through..
I’d love to stay in till the end, because I’m having much more fun than I anticipated!!
