"Miss cheerful" CSI case file 44

Something happened today that make me soooo happy! I usualy create for fun, I try to relax and enjoy every minute of my creations! (I know.. I have said this thousant times before, but it's true)! This doesn't meen that I don't like or I am not looking for any recognition! And today I got in the "watch list" of CSI for case #43, which I solve last week. (see my previous post). This is huge for me.... It makes me feel proud of myself... I jump and laugh like child (yap, I do!), not for any other matter, only because I feel that other people can understand me through my creations! (Sounds crazy??? maybe!!! But this is me... a sensitive loony!)

So, now it's time for one more LO for the next case file at CSI. This time we were asked to solve the case based on these testimony and evidence!

and this is the way I solve it!

journal sais:

reasons to be cheerful...

1. Future's door is opened right in front of you.

2. Many more sunny days are about to come.

3. We will always be around for your support.

After all... don't forget that your smile, gives to us the meaning of our life!

Your Parents.

"Parallel feelings" CSI case file 43

I have just finished another digital LO that I made for CSI's challenge and case file 43! I know that I don't have much time to create in my scraproom this week, not only because I have a lot to do for my job... but I also have to finish all the details for November's challenges on SAG! There are left two more days for those who want to take part on October's challenges, so... harry up! My LO is a digital one for that matter, since I could work at my work on creating it!

Some more Digital LOs... / Μερικές ψηφιακές συνθέσεις!

Lately I have also found another path of my beloved hobby. The path of the digital scrapbook LOs, and I have to admit that it has so much interest that I have managed to have so many of them and I need to organise them as well as my handmade ones!

Τελευταία έχω βρει και ένα άλλο μονοπάτι για το αγαπημένό μου χόμπυ! Το μονοπάτι των ψηφιακών συνθέσεων, και πρέπει να παραδεχτώ πως είναι τόσο ενδιαφέρον που έχω καταφέρει να φτιάξω τόσα πολλά κι από αυτά, ώστε να χρειάζεται να τα οργανώσω κι αυτά, όπως και τα παραδοσιακά χειροποίητα!

Last Sunday we were at my husband's birth-place and there were also gathered all his family! So, my kids were playing the whole day with their cousins, and us you can imagine a lot of photos were taken! Some of them were uploaded immediately by them, on Facebook and all of them were brilliant! The next day I couldn't resist... I had to make something with them... and as I was at work... I couldn't "scrap" in the traditional way! So, digital scrapbooking was my way out! I had seen before on "Scrapbook Flair" some digital challenges that we could play with.. and this was my start!

Την προηγούμενη Κυριακή ήμασταν στη γεννέτηρα του άντρα μου, όπου επίσης δυγκεντρώθηκε όλοκληρη η οικογένειά του! Έτσι, τα παιδιά μου όλη μέρα έπαιζαν με τα ξαδέρφια τους, κι όπως μπορείτε να καταλάβετε τραβήχτηκαν και πάρα πολλές φωτογραφίες! Μερικές από αυτές ανέβηκαν αμέσως στο Facebook, ένω όλες τους ήταν εξαιρετικές! Δεν μπορούσα να αντισταθώ την επόμενη μέρα... έπρεπε κάτι να κάνω με αυτές... κι επείδή ήμουν στη δουλειά..... δεν μπορούσα να scrapάρω με τον παραδοσιακό τρόπο! Έτσι, η ψηφιακή δημιουργία ήταν η διέξοδός μου! Είχα ξαναδεί παλιότερα προκλήσεις που παίζονταν στο "Scrapbook Flair" κι αυτό ήταν η εκκίνηση για μένα!

Here are two of the LOs I've made, one with photos from my trip to Paris with Paraskevi, and one from last Sunday were cousins were playing all around.

Εδώ είναι δύο από τις συνθέσεις που δημιούργησα, μια με φωτογραφίες από το Παρίσι και το ταξίδι μου με την Παρασκευή, και μια από την τελευταία Κυριακή που τα ξαδερφάκια έπαιζαν παντού γύρω μας!

Keep yourselves inspired!!!

LO "For you" and UOAS challenge!

Well, here I am again with another LO! I have made it with photos from Paris that we went last year with my husband! On this photo I am outside of a modern museum, that has everything about filming, TV programms and a great library with this kind of books from the very first moment that filming and films were invented!

Λοιπόν να 'μαι πάλι με μια ακόμα σύνθεση που έφτιαξα με φωτογραφίες από το περισυνό μου ταξίδι στο Παρίσι με τον αγαπημένο μου σύζυγο! Στη φωτογραφία βρίσκομαι έξω από ένα σύγχρονο μουσείο, που έχει τα πάντα γύρω από τον κινηματογράφο, τις μαγνητοσκοπήσεις, τα προγράμματα και τη λειτουργία της τηλεόρασης. Επίσης διαθέτει μια καταπληκτική βιβλιοθήκη με όλα τα σχετικά βιβλία, από την επόχή που όλα αυτά είχαν εφευρεθεί!

With this LO, I take part in UOAS challenge, based on the followed sketch!

Με αυτή τη σύνθεση συμμετέχω στην πρόκληση του UOAS και βασίστηκα στον ακόλουθο οδηγό.

Well, now I want to be honest with you... and to tell you that when I was creating this LO I had this sketch in my external disk (I don't have internet at home... so I take all the informations in an external disk every time), and I knew that there was also a quote... but I had misunderstand and believed that we had to use a quote we like... and not this particular one... So, I made some cheating that I think you must know about... I copy and paste the quote digitaly on my photo of the LO just a few minutes ago when I realised my mistake. I give you the original LO and some closer shots of it right below..

Λοιπόν θα ήθελα να είμαι ειλικρινής μαζί σας και να σας εξηγήσω πως ενώ δημιουργούσα τη συγκεκριμένη σύνθεση, είχα τον οδηγό της στον εξωτερικό μου δίσκο (όπως ξέρετε δεν έχω ίντερνετ στο σπίτι κι έτσι ό,τι χρειάζομαι το τοποθετώ στο εξωτερικό μου), και γνώριζα ότι υπήρχε κι ένα απόσπασμα, αλλά κατάλαβα από λάθος πως μπορούσα να χρησιμοποιήσω ένα ανάλογο που θα μου άρεσε κι όχι αυτό συγκεκριμένα! Έτσι, έκανα μια μικρή "κλεψιά" που νομίζω πρέπει να μάθετε... Αντέγραψα και επικόλλησα το απόσπασμα αυτό ψηφιακά στη φωτογραφία της σύνθεσής μου, μόλις μερικά λεπτά πριν όταν κατάλαβα το λάθος μου! Σας δείχνω παρακάτω το κανονικό.. καθώς και μερικές πιο κοντινές λήψεις!

I am very proud about myself now... because I had in mind to play to several challenges for this month and I really managed to accomplish that. I am also happy for the fact that I enjoyed every minute of those creations and none of them got me angry or pressed in any way! I also have made a lot of cards for this month ( since it's the "card month" this one) and some christmas mini albums, but you will see them in another post!

Είμαι περήφανη για τον ευατό μου... διότι είχα βάλει στόχο να παίξω σε πολλές προκλήσεις αυτό το μήνα και τα κατάφερα!!! Είμαι επίσης χαρούμενη για το ότι διασκέδασα κάθε λεπτό των δημιουργιών μου και καμιά απ' αυτές δε με άγχωσε ή δε με νευρίασε! Κι έχω καταφέρει να φτιάξω και πάαααρα πολλές κάρτες (μιας κι είναι ο "μήνας καρτών" αυτός), καθώς και μερικά χριστουγεννιάτικα μικρά άλμπουμ, αλλά αυτά θα τα δείτε σε επόμενη ανάρτηση!!!

Να 'στε όλοι καλά!!!
Keep yourselves inspired!

LO "Celebrate the good times" for CSI

I enjoy the LOs I made... I have already said that I don't always like the final look of them... but at the bottom line all of them represent my style! I try to give a clear look on my creations, I am not the person that will follow the river if it doesn't work for me... whether it's for my benefit or not.. It seems that some people can understand this and give me the benefit of innovation, and some others keep ignoring my effort! To tell you the truth it's kind of itching I have to admit.. but I won't die on it either! I have also understand that for some people it's only a business and nothing more, and that under this "umbrella", lots of simple people ideas are taken in a minute and showed as original from those businessmen! So, according to my heart's beating that keep telling me that my soul have to be present always on my creations, otherwise it doesn't worth a bit... I'll keep living in my soul's world.

So, after I exposed my soul again... lets see what I have made for CSI and case No 41 this time!

This was the case file....

and this is my creation!

I have lace fabric glued on a white cardstock in order to make my background paper and give my LO a romantic tone...

Digital LO October 2012

It is a digi week for me I think! I have just finished one more digital LO for "Plus 1 challenge" that Brenshevia gave us on Colorful Creations. I have to say that this one, was kind of difficult to create it! I didn't know which photo to use... and I couldn't choose an extra colour that would have me satisfied at the end.

Είναι μια digi εβδομάδα για μένα νομίζω! Έχω μόλις τελειώσει ένα ακόμη ψηφιακό LO για το "Plus 1 challenge" που η Brenshevia μας έδωσε στο CC. Πρέπει να πω ότι αυτό ήταν κάπως δύσκολο για μένα τελικά. Δεν ήξερα ποια φωτογραφία να χρησιμοποιήσω ... και δεν μπορούσα να επιλέξω ένα επιπλέον χρώμα που θα μπορούσε να με ικανοποιήσει στο τέλος!

Anyway this is my creation... with me and my daughter... and thoughts like "I don't want to happen to us" (not that we could do otherwise if so), or "what a strong heart must have all those ladies that fight breast cancer"... thoughts that are going on and on...

Τέλος πάντων... αυτή είναι η δημιουργία μου.. με την κόρη μου... και σκέψεις όπως... "δε θέλω να συμβεί σε μας" (όχι πως θα μπορούσαμε να κάνουμε κάτι διαφορετικό αν είναι να μας συμβεί), ή "τι δύναμη ψυχής έχουν όλες αυτές οι γυναίκες που παλεύουν με τον καρκίνο του μαστού".. σκέψεις... σκέψεις... σκέψεις...

Να 'σται καλά!

Keep yourselves inspired!!!

Digi LO for CC

You know that I aslo like making digital LOs.. so, I couldn't resist on Tabitha's challenge on Colorful Creations, that she was asking from us to make a digital Desktop LO for our computer screens... The calendar page for October was provided by her... and we only had to leave our imagination free to fly... and create!!!

Έχετε καταλάβει βεβαιως ότι εκτός από τα παραδοσιακά λευκώματα με φωτογραφίες που φτιάχνω, αρέσκομαι να δημιουργώ ανάλογα και σε ψηφιακή μορφή! Έτσι όταν η Tabitha μας προκάλεσε στο CC να δημιουργήσουμε κάτι ανάλογο για την επιφάνεια εργασίας του υπολογιστή μας... δεν μπόρεσα να ατνισταθώ.. Μας παρείχε το ημερολόγιο... κι από κει και έπειτα έπρεπε να αφήσουμε την φαντασία μας να πετάξει και να δημιουργήσει!

This is my creation and stands from today on my desktop....

Αυτή είναι η δική μου δημιουργία και κοσμεί από σήμερα την επιφάνεια εργασίας του Η/Υ μου.

Να 'στε καλά!!!

Keep yourselves inspired!!!
