Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge no.80

Hello Everyone

Welcome to a new month and so with the start of a new month, we have a new sketch challenge for you.

You can create a card, tag, layout, an altered project, journal pages or even a digital project!

You can create whatever you like! ;-)

We would just love to know what inspired you from the sketch and the sentiment behind your project!;-)

We have a gorgeous Guest Designer for this challenge. She is a previous TOP HAT and just an incredible creator.

Welcome Lydie! ;-)

Hello everybody! My name is Lydie Denis, aka Lilibleu. I'm 44, married and mother of 2 boys, aged 10 and 7 ½ . I live in the South of France, in a lovely sunny region I love, named Provence. Together with my husband, we run our own e-shop, called Ysandel, selling fantasy jewellery. I discovered scrapbooking during early 2009, after my second son was born. Now it's a real part of my everyday life! My kids, daily life and the beauty of nature are my main sources of inspiration. I love to give volume to my creations, using inks, modelling paste and flowers.

You can find my work in several DTs: 13 Arts, 2Crafty chipboard, More Than Words, La Malle Aux Fleurs and Denim Tampons.

Scrap Africa Mood Board no.79

Hello Everyone

We have a gorgeous and frosty mood board for you this month! ;-)

You can create a card, tag, layout, an altered project, journal pages or even a digital project!

You can create whatever you like! ;-)

We would just love to know what inspired you from the sketch and the sentiment behind your project!;-)

We have two fabulous Guest Designers for our mood board challenge.

Firstly, please welcome our Special Guest Designer today, Vicky Papaioannou! ;-)

She is an amazingly talented lady and is soooo inspiring! ;-)

Here's a little about Vicky.

Hi everyone! I am so happy to guest design today! A few words about me! My name is Vicky Papaioannou and I live in Greece.

I am happily married and I have two kids. Maria is 11 and Kostas is 8 yo. I am an independent craft designer and a mixed media artist. I have always loved anything crafty from painting, crafting to even jewelry making. When I discovered cardmaking and art journaling I was hooked for good.

For years I worked as a full time high school teacher, teaching computers with crafting as my hobby. But after the success of my youtube channel, I switched from a full time high school teacher into a full time independent designer and mixed media artist. I am finally doing what I love most, sharing my art with fellow crafters through my blog, my online classes and my live workshops around the world.

Vicky created this gorgeous card for the mood board challenge.

Here are some close-ups.

Thanks so much Vicky for Guest Designing for us! ;-) Such a cute and frosty card! ;-)
Please pop over to Vicky's site and Youtube channel to see more of her amazing work! ;-)

Our second Guest Designer is this talented and creative lady, Kareen Dion. Kareen was a previous TOP HAT.

Hello!

First of all, thank you for this beautiful opportunity! I'm very happy to be here this month!! So, I'm Kareen or kjkareen on the "scraposphere" and I'm from Quebec, Canada. I'm a stay-at-home mom of two beautiful children (of course they're beautiful, they are mine! hihi) and I manage to have a lot of time to scrapbook! Do I have any particular style? I don't think so, I like to qualify myself that I am a clean mixed media girl! ahah And cluster style... But I can tell you that where I feel the best to create it's on a 12 x 12 layout! I need space, it's what I like the most! But, I sometimes do cards or canvas. It depends of my mood. I like to touch to everything, as long as I can create!

Kareen created this stunning page! ;-)
