Hello ladies! This is my take on the challenge. I have used all my trash and papers.... There's a list below the photos with the material I used!

More details in my blog 1. An old Canadian postal tag 2. 2 pieces of gauze from gift wrapping 3. 2 pieces of old books (text and music) 4. packagine string 5. some dried starfish (that my kids had collected from the sea shore) 6. dark brown thread 7. a couple of old tarnished earrings 8. a clothing price tag 9. a receipt 10. old fabric fiblres 11. 2 wooden furniture pegs 12. a piece of a cardboard box 13. a boarding pass 14. a broken paintbrush P1. White cardstock (half of it, the title and some die-cuts) P2. 7 Dots Messy Head Collection - Love letter (the background papers) P3. 7 Dots Messy Head Collection - News flash (half of it, under the cluster, punched) P4. 7 Dots Messy Head Collection - Little Thoughts (half of it, some die-cuts)

Good morning, girls!!! This is my entry for Round 4! As you see, it features 8 different photos of myself. I chose a funny subject this time and adopted a more playful and fun style. I usually am a serious, brooding person... but the truth is that my humorous part is a side of myself which does exist, but doesn't come to surface very often. Only a few people who know me well can see it. I didn't use any type of ink or paste, nor did I use any stamps. The white splatters on the background paper are printed. I chose 7 Dots studio Messy Head collection's "Big Words" paper for my background (you can see it here) and some die-cuts, of course, for my layered cluster. I hid 4 tags with my journalling in my page. They are resting under my layers of papers and embellies. In order for them to be revealed, they must be pulled. You will see them in the following photos. More info in my blog!

Good morning, ladies! This is my entry! I admit that this is one of the toughest challenges I took on in my entire scrapbooking history. And of course, it was un-expected (again). Bep and Nanette know HOW TO SHAKE US & GET US OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONES! lol Now doodling is a technique that is not usually used in mixed media, layered layouts (like the ones I make). I personally believe that it's a lot closer to the art-journalling. Threfore in front of this challenge, I was in a dilemma: Either to make something true to my "Melenia" style OR find ideas from Pinterest or other galleries and be inspired (aka start off with them). I chose the first option. I decided to make a page and incorporate/embrace/enfold doodling in my style. Now this is a big risk because it takes a great deal of skill, in order to put something new into your page in the perfect amount and way. So my page contains doodling and you can find it around the edges of the layout, as well as around the big cluster where the 4 photos lie upon and on 2 two of the photos. The theme of my page is the beauty of the butterfly, that's why I mostly doodled butterflies flying around!!! The journalling and the title are hand-written of course, as you can see.... No flowers, no people. More details and phots in my blog

Hi everyone! This is my take on the 1st challenge! I used the amazing 7 Dots 9th Wave Collection, which contains my favourite colours... There are some splatters on the white parts of the background paper that BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL PAPER, I didn't use any spray inks nor did I make splatters. The droplets are part of the design of the paper. Other than that, I did a lot of layering, gesso-ing and stamping in my layout. The journalling is approximately 60 words. As for the theme of it, I must say that I live in the city of Heraklion, in Greece. My city happens to be quite old, so there are a lot of historical monuments in it, withing walking distance from where people live. It's also built by the seashore, so I'm very lucky to have the chance to see the Aegean Sea and the history of my city within 1000 steps of my house. My page celebrates this beautiful, historical, sunny city!
