Cherish Layout - Guest Designer - Eirini Tsaima

Hello Everyone

We have a super duper, special Guest Designer today...and such a lovely lady too....a warm welcome to Eirini Tsaima! ;-)

Eirini was a previous winner here at Berry71Bleu and today she shares her take on the Forest Mood Board this month.

But first, here is a little about Eirini.

Hello, my name is Eirini (Irene)Tsaima.I live and work as a trainer in a public school in the beautiful  island of Crete in sunny Greece.I'm married to a wonderful man who tolerates and supports  my  new passion ... scrapbooking!!!We have two kids and their coming in our lives, made me looking into anything handmade  that I could do as a new mother  to keep memories  alive.Somewhere  there I met  scrapbooking albums,lay outs and cards until I fell on mixed media ... That was !! It was love at  first  sight .Ever since i  stuck in this style, making lay outs who express me  at different phases of my life .Personally i like order and discipline in my life, but not in art.Art has no limits and barriers ... Inspired by everything in everyday life, from a photo-advertisement-music up to  a walk in my garden, by the sea or  at the center of my town.

You can find me here http://renagym.blogspot.gr/ ,https://www.pinterest.com/eirinitsaima/ and on facebook.

Wandering In The Forest Tag by Kay

For this month's challenge I decided to do a tag--a small project but one I haven't done in a long time.  When I saw this month's mood board--the first thought that came to my mind is one of my favorite TV shows 'The Walking Dead".  The majority of that show takes place in a forest setting.  The forest is portrayed in all sorts of way on this show.  It's a place of both peace & fear.  It's basically become the primary makeshift home for all of the characters on the show as they wander an apocalypse ridden land.

I found a great photo of them online that shows a couple of the primary characters walking aimlessly through the forest--so I took that photo plus this challenge to make an homage to one of my favorite shows.

Here's the fabulous inspiration board for this month's challenge.

I kept the overall color scheme of the tag in the earth tone family.  I've used embellishments from the 'Nature Walk' collection by 7 Dots Studio to further dress up my tag.

I have a bag of dried moss in my stash that added the perfect touch to this tag--I tucked a few strands of this moss behind my burlap flower & pine cone.

Thanks for stopping by.  Now onto this month's prizes...

Magical Forest in a shadow box by TandiArt

Sylwia here with my magical project for September:) As I loved the challenge this month, which is a beautiful forest mood board designed by our very creative Tusia:), therefore I created a magical forest in a shadow box.

For the background, I used new collection of papers by 7 Dots Studio- Lost and Found.

Then I made whimsical houses out of clay. I also added some natural moss and sticks:)

Hello Everyone

We have a super Guest Designer today...Melenia Agapides...Melenia was our winner from 2 months back. A very warm welcome to Melenia and I am thrilled that she could join us today! 

Here's a little bit about Melenia.

"My name is Melenia Agapides! I live in an island of Greece and am mother of 2 kids, as well as an Airport Authority Officer at our local airport. I started scrapbooking in 2009, but I got more involved in 2011. I'm a layout designer and I love working with masks, inks, pastes, mists and threads. I think my style is still evolving, so I can't put a name on it, but my pages contain clusters with different kind of embellies, which I "glue together" with paints, mists and inks.Thank you for having my as a Guest Designer, Berry71Bleu!"

Capture Every Moment Layout by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

Happy Friday! ;-) I hope that this week has been a great one and that as we move into the weekend that you can relax and hopefully find some creative and scrappy time.

It's Denise here today to share my layout for Tusia's gorgeous Mood Board this month.

Here's the page I made.

I used the gorgeous Lost and Found Collection from 7 Dots Studio.  The tree chippies are also from this super collection.

I used lots of 7 Dots stamps, as well as a Prima flower stamp and an Impression Obsession stamp for the background.

This photo was taken in the woods surrounding our little house, while on a fishing weekend a few years back.  Joe was only 3 here...so sweet!

As always there's some gorgeous goodies up for grabs...exactly the same, beautiful collection I used above! ;-)
