Special moment ...

Hello my crafty friends!!!! This is my second post for today and I have a special LO to show you....It's a LO that I made for some challenges.... I had the inspiration to make a special page....A page for my thoughts.... The moto of Mixed Media Place "Paint the sky ,make it yours" gave me the opportunity to speak about my life...My sky , my life,  is based on my parents' words "Just Be Yourself"... They also taught me to be thankful for all the good things of my life. Not to search for money, but for real friends. Not to try to find a big Life, but to be grateful for little things that give me happiness...

                                                     So I made This mixed media page...

                                                         Some details below...

With this LO I will take part at Mixed Media Place challenge

And More Than Words challenge

 I used an old element from my stash (the wooden clock) , my new Prima flowers , a borrowed chipboard frame for my friend Valia (thank you so much my friend!) and some blue..
The word SPECIAL is on the title....

That;s from me for today...
I hope you like it...
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Scrap Africa October challenge

Hello my crafty friends! ! ! Today I have some great news to share! From now and then I am a member of Scrap Africa family . I am thrilled to be a member of this talented team!!!!!
So...This month we have a wintery moodboard for you to be inspired and you surely have to see the DT members ' creations for this challenge.
My take on this moodboard is a mixed media page. I was inspired by the trees and wintery colours so I used some dark blues and greens to make my mixed media. .. The photo is from Pinterest. No...this beautiful lady is not me... lol.

I used 13arts papers and Finnabair metallic paints and pastes.

                                 My page....

                           And some details. .....

                                 Our moodboard

We are waiting for you to play with us at Scrap Africa! You should come and see all the members ' creations!

You have time until the end of October! 

With my layout I will participate in the Berry71bleu challenge with this beautiful moodboard! 

The colours of the moodboard match perfectly with my LO!

All you need is love

One more mixed media page for 7 Dots studio Favourite quote challenge .
I love all the quotes about love. So I made this mixed media page with a loooot of texture with quotes about love. I used a lot of my stash, some Chipboard leftovers,  tulle ,13 arts pastes and black gesso for my backround and painted with Dylusions mists and Americana paints. I have also used some elements from a broken alarm clock to give more interest . I tried to give a rust effect on these elements by painting with several colours like purple and yellow.
At the end I decorated with stickers and elements from Vernon Azul collection.
All you need is love....
Hope you like it!

Beautiful smile...

A story behind this photo. A woman that didn't live her life. A woman that was always smiling.  That wanted to make a new family, a new life , but she didn't manage to do it. She was 27 when she got married with the love of her life. This photo was taken at 1977. She was so happy.... But.... she didn't know what to expect from her new "family" .
This woman was my mom's youngest sister . At 1978 was murdered by her mother in law. She was pregnant. .. She wanted to have a family. She wanted to keep her boy in her hands. But she didn't.  She was a teacher.  Her name ...Christina.  Like me.

Now you know the story of this picture. And why I am named Christina. That 's because of this woman.

With my page I m playing with More than words challenge ...

Hope you like my page.
That s from me today.
Kisses
