A night before Christmas

Hello!
Today I have a layout inspired by our beautiful winter moodboard. It's hard not to get in a creative mood when seeing it!

 I used a Prima paper as a base and a bunch of the vintage items from the Zeus and Zoe kit. Old newspaper, cotton lace, buttons and metal decorations. The main decorative element are the gorgeous burlap Prima flowers.
I have also added some stencil pattern with a modelling paste, gesso and some accents of gold paint (media from my personal stash)

Here is the inspiring moodboard created by Charlie:

Thanks for stopping by,  I hope you will come around and play with out moodboard this month!

Now is the time - fall

Happy Monday!
Fall is in full swing in our part of the world, that means you will see it at least in few of my upcoming projects
Here's my first fall-theme layout of this season.

From my stash I have picked a neutral light paper for my background (Dreamer from 7 Dots Studio) and I have complemented it with the items from my Zeus and Zoe kit.
You will see few scraps of papers, authentic old newspaper, washi tape and cotton lace. In my kit I also had this sweet flower vine (Prima) and a flower pack from Manor house - these I saved for another project, but the packaging came handy! The beautiful brown roses are cut out from this package :) Finally a golden button instead of a brad and some Prima chipboards to add dimension. Zeus and Zoe kits contain such a variation of items, you can do so much with it!

Thanks for stopping by today, wishing you a great week! Don't forget to have a look at Zeus and Zoe Etsy store.

New beginning by Tusia Lech

Hello :)

Today is my first day at Zeus&Zoe blog as a designer and I have to say how happy and thrilled I am! Marivic, who is the owner of Zeus&Zoe etsy store, creates amazing kits for shabby and vintage lovers! There are so many inspiring and unique elements in each kit!! When I unpacked mine, I couldn't resist to start creating immediately! Thank you Marivic for inviting me to the team!

My first layout as a Zeus&Zoe DT member is about new beginning. Literally and figuratively. I just have started my new, great adventure here but there are many new beginnings around us all year. Days, months, seasons, strawberry season, school, job, love, friendship - everything begins. And I wanted to honour all happy beginnings in my life.

Almost everything, you see below, come from Zeus&Zoe kit handpicked by Marivic. I have added some shabby touch to a canvas star and a few buttons, applying some gesso on it. 

Take a look at this beautiful, handmade flower, which was a part of Zeus&Zoe Kit Collection!

The whole composition is around the circle, which I draw in the central part of 7 Dots Studio paper. I used pencil, Gelatos and Caran D'Ache Neocolor crayons, which you can buy at Zeus&Zoe store. These are absolutely wonderful crayons, soft and easy to be applied and totally water-soluble. But if you prefer not to use water, they are also wonderful - give great coverage, vivid colors and wonderful texture.

Most elements was put on a foam squares, so to add the dimension. Final touch was adding some splatters with black Indian Ink and some stamping.

All flowers, except crocheted one, come from Manor House Value Pack available at Zeus&Zoe store.

Thank you for visiting our blog today!

Timeless - Layout by Ayeeda

Hi, it's Aida  here with my last project for Zeus and Zoe. It's been a huge pleasure to work with Marivic's gorgeous products. Over the past four months I've tried to show you how you can use these products in different ways, and how vintage style can mix well with mixed media. 

For my last post I have decided to create a layout with beautiful papers and embellishemnts from Zeus and Zoe. I made a lot texture with flowers, laces and other embellies, I put a gesso over it and added some inks, and the colors match perfectly now:) 

Here is my LO

Thank You again for trusting me, for giving me a great opportunity Marivic. I just love your products and I wish you and Zeus and Zoe all the best:*

Our theme at Zeus and Zoe this month is Frills and Romance - this layout is not about pink and flowers, but it still is very romantic and emotional .

Meet another talented DT member ...

Aida Domisiewicz

Poland

Hello everyone! My name is Aida Domisiewicz aka Ayeeda. I live in a beautiful city of Wroclaw, Poland with my husband and two wonderful sons - 9 and 4 years old.

I think I've always had an artistic soul, I used to paint the ceramics, create my own pots and bowls with a clay and made different home decorations. I was working full time , but I have always had some kind of a hobby. When I discovered scrapbooking and mixed media I just forgot about everything, it was the love from the first sight:)

I create mostly layouts now, and this my favorite space: 12x12 inch. Sometimes I create something different though - tags, cards, altered items, why not?  I’m not sure I can define my “style”, but my works are recognizable as a bit messy with lots of different media, layers and details. I just love the texture, I want to feel my page under my fingers. I don’t want to close myself in just one “style” though,  as I love to experiment and search for original effects. For me each page is a separate, complete story to tell, so my pages differ with colors, techniques and … emotions.. The perfect layout for me is the one which makes people feel the emotions closed on the page.

I just love to create, but I have always dreamed that my passion is becoming also my work. Few months ago I started to design papers and to produce my own media and other artistic supplies with my own brand 13 arts. This is a dream come true.

Thank You so much Marivic for inviting me to Zeus and Zoe team – it’s an honor to work with your gorgeous products.

Hello everyone! 

This is Aida with my very first post and very first work as Zeus and Zoe DT member. 

When I saw all the beautiful papers, laces and embellishments from Marivic's Etsy Shop  I was amazed - all things were so gorgeous, that I started to create my project straight away. I couldn't help myself and I made a layout for my first post, so here it is - a little different than my usual pages, but when you've got such beautiful elements you don't have to add a lot of media and other materials. I played with hot glue this time, added some gesso, crackle paint and brocade.

Some details:

 I hope you like my project. 

Please visit Marivic's shop and see her hand selected project kits or have her create your own personalized kit for you.

Live Laugh Love

I have created a LO for this month's challenge using some gorgeous flowers, lace, heart ribbon and vintage button from my Zeus and Zoe Kit available from Marivic's Etsy Shop.  I altered the lovely metal heart frame which was also part of my kit, with some silver Viva Decor paste and backed it with pp and a rubon.

I am trying to be a bit more adventurous with mixed media techniques and  had a little play with some layers on my background.  The pp's are from Maja Designs.
