QUIRKY CRAFTS invited me again to be Guest Designer in this beautiful new challenge 

ALL ABOUT BOYS.

http://quirkycrafts.blogspot.com/2013/03/challenge-6-2013-all-about-boys-with.html

In my first proyect, I used a photo of my father when he was about four years old, by 1948.

He always love cowboy stuff, and the photo was taken in his grandparents dairy farm.

I still remember myself, as a little girl, sitting by his side watching Bonanza every night.

GOOD TIMES!!!!

For my second proyect I make a ship favor box.

I think it could be a lovely idea for a boy baby shower, with a lot of ric rac, buttons and the beautiful The Cutting Cafe phrase digi.

Thanks to Quirky Crafts for giving me the chance to be part of this challenge.

This challenge is about creating a background using some kind of messy technique.

For my first proyect I used waxpaper technique and spring distress inks with a beautiful image from Bugaboo.

For my second proyect, I used emboss resist technique with whites embossing powder and spring distress inks and a beautiful ladybugs digi from Bugaboo.

Spring is just around the corner.

A SUPERNATURAL LOVE STORY

For this Quirky Crafts Challenge inspires me a legend of Greek Mythology: The  love of Hades by Persephone.

Hades, God of the Underworld, fell in love with Persephone and decided to kidnap her. The myth says that in one of the rare times he left the Underworld, he traveled above ground to pursue her, while she was gathering flowers in a field.

Persephone’s mother, Demeter, begged her brother Hades to allow Persephone to come back to the livings, denoting that the young Persephone was not supposed to live in the underworld. Hades consulted with Zeus and they both decided to allow Persephone to live on earth for six months each year, while the rest of the time she would be on his side in the Underworld.

Before leaving the underworld, Persephone had been persuaded to eat four seeds of a pomegranate. In ancient mythology, to eat the fruit of one’s captor meant that one would have to return to that captor or country, so Persephone was doomed to return to the underworld for four months of the year. But she was allowed to spend the remaining two-thirds of the year with her Earth Mother, Demeter.

The myth of Hades and Persephone is associated with the coming of Spring and Winter:

When Persephone comes to the Earth, it's springtime. When she descends to Hades, it is winter.

THIS IS A SUPERNATURAL LOVE STORY.

SOMETHING NEW WITH PINK

This scrapbook page is about my daughter Sofi, when I was about three years and loved the color pink. Now she is twenty years old and only uses dark colors, I still don't understand why, because she looks pretty in pink.

This is my entry to the Quirky Crafts Challenge.

 In this layout, everything is new, but the photos. For the first time I am using the butterflies edge, the flourish, the butterflies and the butterflies doily cutting files.
