Established in 2000, 7gypsies has enjoyed being a part of the craft and scrapbooking industries. 7gyspies has taken a few journeys along the way, with the caravan’s final destination with Canvas Corp. 

a bit of the 7gypsies story…

A young architect who wanted to be a painter met an Australian school teacher with a penchant for collecting things. They married and traveled the world together, having 7 kids on 3 different continents. As age mellowed them, they settled in the southwestern US and began designing for the scrapbooking industry, drawing upon a lifetime of traveling and experiences. 

  

The Canvas Corp family welcomes this amazing brand, with a penchant for preserving the original inspiration behind the brand.  This catalog brings together vintage and brand new 7gypsies products.

the gypsies today… 

With a focus on preserving the inspiration for the brands and the product line, the 7gypsies development team has designed a number of vintage inspired collections that have a look of the past but are relevant to the creative market today. We have converted a considerable amount of products to production in the USA, while continuing to source world-wide to find the most exciting products, designs and technologies.  We are excited to release our most exciting collection Architextures™ which is going to take the 7gypsies brand in many wonderful new directions. 

Web- Blog - Facebook - Instagram - Youtube 

7gypsies give the winner of the challenge one of their "Junk Packs" - a collection of vintage papers, handmade papers, fabric, tags and more with a writing and lettering theme. No two are alike. AND  as an there is a chance to win a additional prize - if you both submit an entry for the Berry71Bleu Challenge & the current Canvas Corp Brands Challenge you are eligable to win a second prize. You will find a link to the Canvas Corp Brands April Challenge under our Challenge board in the right sidebar.

So please give a warm welcome to Olya Kravets, our winner from last month! ;-)

So firstly, here's a little bit about Olya!

Hello friends! 

My name is Olya Kravets and it's an honor for me to be a guest designer in your blog!

I live in Moscow now with my family. My daughter is 2 years and I every day with her. Сreativity is so important to me. I returned to scrapbooking 2 years ago and now have dedicated my life to creating and inspiring! I try every day to be better than yesterday, to always learn and develop. 

My favorite style of scrapbooking is mixed media. This is where you can reveal their feelings and emotions, to feel yourself an artist and  always do something new.

Moodboard this month is so beautiful and inspiring! My sweet canvas about me and my daughter, when she was 3 month. I was very inspired by tenderness, delicate flowers and the color.

I am very proud and happy to be GD in February.

Treasure Layout - Guest Designer - Mary Catt

Hello Everyone

We have a really special Guest Designer today and we know that you will absolutely recognise this lovely ladies work! ;-)

A really warm and Merry welcome to Mary Catt.

Here's a little about Mary.

Hello! I'm Mary and I live in Greece. I'm married to a wonderfully supportive husband and we have three children. I met scrapbooking two years ago and I can honestly say it was love at first sight. I love mixed media style but I also like to experiment with other styles too. The only thing I can tell for sure is that I can't create without flowers and embellishments. I use them, in all my projects, a lot. I find lots of my inspiration in everyday life and when I scrap I feel so happy that I totally forget everything around me. 

I'm very happy to be here as a guest designer and I want to thank Berry71Bleu for that honor!

Mary created this beautiful, frosty and fabulous page! ;-)

Here are some closer looks.

Please pop over to Mary's blog to see more of her amazing and inspirational work.

Hello everyone! I am very happy to be a guest designer for such a great mood board. My name is Nadya and I live in Estonia. I am 29 years old. I am wife and mother of sweet girl, aged 7. I discovered scrapbookig almost 2 years ago and started to scrap seriously last winter, when I got into my first DT. My main sources of inspiration are people, their photos and new materials. The photo on canvas was made in 2012, when we was on vocation in Dominican Republic, because of it I choose seashells for decoration. I wish you good mood and a lot of inspiration!!!

Guest Designers - Eirini Tsaima & Deb Riddell

Hello Everyone

We warmly welcome our 2 fabulous Guest Designers today -

Eirini Tsaima and Deb Riddell! ;-)

Firstly, we have Eirini, who was the winner from last month! ;-)

Eirini is a fabulous and creative designer and it is so great that she was able to create something for this month's mood board.

Here's a little about Eirini.

Hello dear friends, it's Eirini here sharing with you a guest work,inspired by this awesome moodboard!!

Firstly i feel deeply honored to be in this super talented team again and i feel so blessed that i was voted to win October's challenge.Thank you all!

Then ,i will tell you some details about how i made my lay out inspired by the navy colors and the drown tones on the brush picture.

My picture had a brick background,so i created a brick background too.The lady dances,so i created some music patterns as well and finally the splashes from my photo, had to be outside too...So i used my Lindy's embossing powders and mists to resemble the photo's background.For this lay out i also used 7dots new collection papers Writer's Block-Notes and  die cuts elements and stickers too.

So, i hope i gave you some ideas and inspiration .Thank you again for all your support and sweet comments.​

Eirini created this fabulous page! ;-)

Isn't this just a delight!!! We love everything about this page! ;-)

Thanks so much Eirini! ;-)

Please pop over to Eirini's blog to see more inspiration and delight! ;-)

Our second Guest Designer today, is another amazing and creative lady! ;-)

Here's a little about Deb! ;-)

Hello, my name is Deb Riddell and I am thrilled to be here at Berry71Bleu as a guest designer!  I live in British Columbia, Canada on a small acreage with my husband and our beloved rescue dog Haley and am lucky to have the beautiful Canadian wilderness just outside my door.  I started out on my creative journey as a watercolour and decorative painter but once I discovered mixed media there was no looking back and it is now my passion.  My style is vintage and distressed and I am constantly inspired by the beauty of nature so November's beautiful mood board was right up my alley with those wonderful natural elements.
I decided to create an art journal page for you and incorporated the chevron motif, those beautiful iridescent feathers and the acorns into my design along with the gold from the chevrons.  I didn't have any acorn motifs in my stash so decided instead to use oak leaves since, as the saying goes, 'mighty oaks from little acorns grow'.
I have a few step out photos on my blog on how I put my Simply Navy art journal page together so hope you will be able to stop by for a look.  Thank you again to Denise and the rest of the Design Team here at Berry71Bleu for inviting me to your blog and happy creating to everyone!
