The Studio Challenges - Grid layout

Hello!

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Sunday!

Today we have a new challenge over at The Studio Challenges. This time it is about making a grid layout.

It's been a while I wanted to make such a layout, so it was the great opportunity. As for the photos, this time was a really easy choice, as I wanted to make a layout about the time when Andreas discovered for the first time the (luckily washable) markers!

My layout:

I used my sewing machine to highlight a bit the grid.

And it is true that the best way to learn your sewing machine is practice. I finally managed to do the zig zag just the way I wanted!!!

Come over at The Studio Challenges to see the grid layouts that the design team prepared. You'll find some great inspiration!

Hope you like it,

Hugs,
Anastasia

The Studio challenges - September 15th sketch challenge

Good morning!

We have a new challenge over at The Studio Challenges today... This time is a sketch challenge based on a sketch that Valerie prepared inspired by my previous glitter layout. Yoohoo!!!

I was so happy that a layout of mine could inspire a sketch... Then I was a bit concerned how to make a totally different layout based on the same sketch. Because the previous layout had limited colours (pink, gold and a bit of grey), I decided to go multicolour this time. And here's the result:

And a closer photo to show you the white doodling around the embellishments that I made on a sleepless night ;)

The sketch is the following:

So, will you play along with us? Come over at The Studio Challenges to see how the design team has interpreted the sketch... there are so different approaches!

The Studio Challenges - Wings

Hello!

Another layout today. This time is for the latest challenge of The Studio Challenges with a word to inspire you: wings!

Of course I chose my favourite wings - airplane's:

I took the photo on my way to Stockholm earlier this summer.

Typewriters' font is one of my favourite ones and I've been tempted to get a typewriter for myself, but it's not cheap, it's going to need ink, service... So instead I looked for typewriter fonts online and used them for my journaling. I printed the journaling on vellum paper and sew it on a tag.

And I made my own banner with die cuts same way I did with the little boats in my previous layout as per Jen Kinkade's instructions:

So come over at The Studio Challenges to see how the design team was inspired by the word wings and to play with us!

Hope you like it,

Hugs,
Anastasia

Get Creative - September challenge

Hello and good month!!!

I just came back from my short summer holidays... ouf!

So we have a new challenge over at Get Creative, a challenge that I'm sure you're going to find easy enough: anything goes!

Our sponsor this month is our own Anastasia Sergaki with the following kit which the design team has used this month for their creations:

And my layout:

To use as many of the beautiful papers as I could I made a burst and used the photo in the middle. The photo is in black and white due to the bad quality, but I so wanted to scrap it! In the white space between the rays I used plenty of sequins. I made the edges on the top and bottom of the layout using leftovers from the papers.

I printed and cut a number of little boats (aren't they the cutest?) and with the help of my sewing machine and Jen Kinkade's instructions I made my own banner. I loved this technique and used it again in another layout that I'm going to share with you tomorrow:

 

So, come over at Get Creative to play with us with any layout you want! Don't forget, the winner will get the entire kit created by Anastasia printed!

Hugs,

Anastasia
