A journey of a thousand miles - back to school card

Second post for me today :).

Here's a card I've made for my eldest son, who starts tomorrow High School (I just can't believe it...).

Wishing him all the best and all the luck in his new journey.

I enter it to the current challenge at Kaisercraft blog - Cogs.

I've used papers and die-cuts from an old collection - Pickled Pear, and two stamps from Life Sentiments set.

I also enter this card to the current challenge at SimonSays Stamp blog, which is 'Back to School'.

Here're some close-ups:

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.

Look out world

A page in a retierment greeting album, full of mixed media.

I'm entering it to the August challenge at Kaisercraft blog, whith the theme of 'cogs'.

I also enter this page to the current challenge at Words&Paintery, with this beautiful inspiration:

And to the challenge at Mixed Media & Art, with this amaizing moodboard:

I was inspired by the colors of brown and green, with a little touch of gold/yellow, and by the theme of the wood.
I've used Kaisercraft papers, MemoryBox dies, 7Dots Studio stickers and some metal embellies from my stash.

Here are some close-ups:

#Hogwarts Express - a layout

Most Wanted list at CSI August 2017

A new I've made for some challenges:

I've used Aug 1st sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:

Isn't it just a fab sketch? I just love Laura's sketches. they have so many possibilities and the DT over there are full of tallent and inspiration.

I also playes with Case file no. 236 at CSI:

My clues were:

Scheme - I've used all 5 colors.

Evidence - stripes, polka dots, gold, banners, wet medium (gesso, Lindy's Stamp Gang starburst), scallops, twine.

Testimony - I documented an adventure, a tour me and my son took to the Harry Potter's studios near London. 

My journaling says: "We landed at Heathrow Airport and we rushed to the hotel, only to throw our baggages there and make it to the last tour to Harry Potter's studios. And we made it to the Hogwarts Express. We had so much fun there."

The last challenge I'm entering my lo is Aug moodboard at Creative Embellishments:

I was inspired by the bold teal/turquoise in the photo. The challenge also requiered to use a hashtag, and I didn't have one, so I've made my own LOL!

I also used CE chippies on this lo (the letters of the title and the photostrip).

Here's a short video of close-ups:

I've also made a video about my creative process making this lo, with some triks and tips:

Retirment greetings album (front cover) - Words from the heart - mixed media style

My boss is retiring and I'm working on a greetings album from all of our department.

It's a great challenge for me to create a masculine project, and I hope he would love it. The title says: Words from the heart.

Here're some close ups:

Lots of mixed media here - TCWmasks, TH masks, gesso, lindy's stamp gang mists, glitter, embossing powders, microbeads, chipboards, metalic elements, distress stain, etc.

I'm entering it to the challenge at Mixed Media Place, with this beautiful moodboard:

I really love the gold with blue combination of the beach photo and the teal road with the rustic colors of the woods.

Thank you for stopping by.
