Summertime fun

Oooh... I know it isn't summer yet, but I'm longing for it. For those long, warm days, some layed back time with family and friends at the seaside... What about you? Do you love summer time? If yes, this project will surely made your day a little bit brighter and happier. :)

I made an altered seashell with a miniature of kids playing at the shore in hot summer day. I used lot of mixed media goodies and Graphic 45 "Children's hour" collection. Added my favourite Scrapiniec chipboards and Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. This is a picture heavy post so grab a cup of coffee. :) I also have a video tutorial for you. Hope you will like it!

Have fun and stay safe!

Sweet life

I have to admit... I love sweets. When I was a child, I hated chocolate. It took me years to grow fond of it... well maybe to fond now. :D So it wasn't such a big sacrifice for me to eat those delicious chocolates that were hidding in this chocolatier box so that I was able to alter it, using gorgeous Graphic 45 Caffee Parisian paper collection. I just love how this turned out. I created little mixed media chocolates in the chocolatier box. This was actually the part I enjoyed most! I was playing like a little child and it was so much fun to do it! And under the chocolatier box there is a bigger wooden box in which you can hide a present to give to somebody you love!

Hope you'll like my project. I have also a video tutorial for you to play around a bit for yourself.

Have a great day my friends!

Up up to the sky and away we fly

Did you ever go on journey with a hot air balloon? I didn't yet but would love to someday! It looks so adventurous and so much fun! And when I saw the Graphic 45 World's Fair collection with that gorgeous big hot air balloons, I just had to have it! I was thinking for some time how to create a sky so that it would have this soft and cloudy look and I experimented a little. I think it came out beautifully! What do you think? I invite you to scroll through the pictures and if you wish to see the whole process and maybe get some ideas, I invite you to visit my youtube channel, where I have a tutorial waiting for you!

I wish you a nice evening and a great, adventurous, unforgettable weekend ahead!

Dream and spread your wings to fly

It's been a while since I made my last canvas and yesterday I was in the right mood to make another one. I was inspired by gorgeous Moodboard in Mixed Media Moods.

I tried to gather as many inspiration of of it as I could... the paper with some smudges like in first picture, the cluster with similar texture as on the second picture, the paintbrush end on the butterfly and of course the gorgeous butterfly. Added some black stars on the cluster and some gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers to finish off the canvas.

Hope you'll like it. I also have a youtube tutorial for you at the end of the post. Hope you get inspired too! <3

La vie en Rose

I always loved old movies and I addore songs from old movies. One of my all-time favourites is "La vie en Rose" by Edith Piaf. I could listen to it all day long. And today's inspiration for my new art journal pages came from that song. I used gorgeous Graphic 45 "Tme to celebrate" paper collection and some letter stickers from "Once upons a Springtime Deluxe collector's edition. I love the result! What about you?
