Just sharing with you some pics of my new craft room... or should I say craft loft. None of the room in the new house can accommodate my craft junk so the family (hubby and kids) decided to give me the loft...<br />
Chaos is the word perfect for its current state. With homeschooling, daily house chores, unpacking and sorting of household holds, I decided to just work on it every weekend. I know that the longer it takes me to fix my room, the longer I have to wait till I start creating again. Like most Moms, kids, hubby and Mom's duties will always come first. Anyways, hubby and I are still talking it to over whether he will build me shelves or just be content with my Ikea bookcases.<br />
BTW, over the weekend, hubby and I made some wood project where I could organize my paints and sprays. I honestly thought that we made it big enough to accommodate my stuff but boy was I wrong!<br />

Hope you like my tag!<br />
Have a wonderful weekend peeps... <br />

SEWING TREASURE BOX: Another gift I made for another crafty friend. I am also entering this project as my take on <a href="http://iamroses-challenge.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/march-iar-designer-challenge-winner.html">I Am Roses Designer Challenge</a>. The theme for the month of March is Designer's Choice of Color Combo. I chose <a href="http://lollyrot-scrapbooking.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/green-and-purple.html">Designer Maria's</a> choice of Color Combo, which is purple and green.<br />

Ever done your own flower embellishment and not want to spend the money and use instead what you have in your stash? Are you like me who has tons and tons of Prima and I am Roses flowers?<br />
<br />
Lately, I've been wanting flower spray in most of my projects. I find them too pricey so this time I wanted to make mine instead of buying some more. Sad to say, after trying to make my own flower spray, I decided I will rather buy. I spent so much time trying to make my own spray that I would rather do something crafty or artsy. <br />

So piece of advise, dont make them unless you are bored. Buy them instead and you can use up your time and effort in creating and embellishing wonderful projects.</div>

Yesterday, I was in the mood to color, which I haven't done in awhile. So here's my St. Patrick's Day card for all of you...<br />

MATERIALS:<br />
PAPERS: My Minds Eye, Bo Bunny, Stampin' Up, Bazzill Basic and American Craft<br />
STAMPS: My Creative Time (sentiments) and Inkadinkado (image) <br />
COLORING: Copic, atyou Spica and Sakura white jelly-roll pen<br />
INKPAD: TH distressed inkpads for inking (mowed lawn and vintage photo), Versafine (black onyx), and Versamark (watermark)<br />
PAINTS: Lumiere paint (sunset gold and pearl emerald gold), Liquitex paint (black), Decoart Metallic Lumiere (gold rush and champagne)<br />
WATERCOLOR: Panelli (emerald green)<br />
OTHERS: Watercolor paper (can''t remember the brand), Lindy's Stamp Gang (embossing powder), Inkadinkado (clear embossing powder) <br />
TOOLS: Cuttlebug (die-cut machine), Spellbinders (dies), Anna Griffin (border embossing folders), Fiskars (paper trimmer), Ranger (heat tool), Scotch (ATG) and pop-dots<br />
EMBELLISHMENT: Assorted washi tapes, Basic Grey (gold enamel dots), Anna Griffin (leather/trim), Unknown ribbon buckle and coins<br />
<br />
BTW, it was my first time to color in a watercolor paper and then embossed the image with EP. The paper absorbs the ink of the markers well and does not bleed too much. I think I will do it this way every time I would color. You should try it too and you'll see the difference.<br />

The title says it all:<br />
Imagine...<br />
Create...<br />
and<br />
Inspire...<br />
Everyday,<br />
I am happy to learn while exploring Art. <br />
Everyday, <br />
I'm hopeful that I can make something out of that learning.<br />
And in this new journey,<br />
I hope<br />
I inspire someone. <br />

Two months ago, I decided to sign-up for Unity Stamp SMAK and LOL club, which will be mailed to you on a monthly basis. I've been making all sorts of projects but still couldn't find time to make something out of my Unity stamps. <br />
<br />
Last night, I came across <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/may-hope-sustain-you.html">Unity's blog color challenge</a>, and when I saw the inspiration color photo, I knew exactly what I would make. So, without further ado, here it is:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Love, love the colors in this palette...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my card, using the feather in Layer's of Life stamp set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a simple, no fuzz and very easy to make card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the image using Versafine black onyx ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For added layers, stamped couple more images here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I embossed the image using distressed EP - black soot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I used my marker spritzer with distressed markers: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
squeezed lemonade, shaded lilac, salty ocean and mowed lawn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Really love that those tiny droplets of ink made the feather pop so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added washi tapes, ribbon, enamel dots, button and bling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you like it!</div>

The better half of 2013, I shifted gear when it comes to crafting. I was suddenly too eager to learn about Mixed Media, Shabby Chic, Grunge and Steampunk. I guess the love for vintage and alteration plays a major role.<br />
<br />
In this post, I will be sharing a project I made awhile ago and was given as a gift to my DS and DBIL. <br />
<br />
Back in early 2000, I was making jewelries and in fact I made a good living out of it. So I can say that I am not totally inexperience in this aspect of crafting. Once in awhile, I would still go back and try something new and this time, it was with resin. <br />

Craft room is in a better state now. Found lot of things to work on. Found lot of things that's full of awesomeness when you add a couple things.<br />
<br />
While doing the big task, I found this antique hook I bought at the Japanese store months ago. You know, when I buy things, I don't have any definite plan or idea. Modesty aside, I buy them because I know I will and can make something out of it. Call it hoarding but I like the fact that I have it when I need and want it. Most of the stuff you can buy at the Japs store runs out immediately.<br />

<br />
Couple days ago, I posted that while I was on the big task of cleaning my room, I got destructed or should I say inspired by some goodies I picked-up. It all started with 4 things and initially, it looks like this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was really eager to finish the task but it took me at least another day to conceptualize my next artwork.<br />
Well, I can't keep the excitement and love, love to share the outcome with you.<br />
Everyone meet Queen Rarity...<br />

Started out from a wooden spoon, thread, molded clay and a small flower. With a little work, she turned into a beautiful creation...<br />
<br />
She was named Rarity by my kids, who are both fans of My Little Pony...

Hey friends, it's time once again for another <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2014-march/">Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2014</a>. Smudge stamping is the theme for the month of March. I opted to show you the "full strength" version since my daughter decided to snag the "second generation". <br />

Nowadays, I know very few people who doesn't have Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account. Our society revolves too much on technology and social media. It maybe a bad idea but one thing is sure, it keeps communication line open. <br />
<br />
At night when I go to bed, I used to read a book, or a magazine, or an Archie comics or even a Bible. Almost every night now especially on workdays, I have the tendency to open my FB and read couple post before I completely doze off . Most often than not, we read trash but some are really worth knowing and even worth sharing.<br />
<br />
Artist and crafters often times find their inspiration in the weirdest situation or place. When it does, make sure to take advantage of it and so I did, even if that means, its from Facebook, LOL...<br />
<br />
A crafty friend posted and shared this poem in FB:<br />
<br />
I hope that you will dream dangerously and outrageously,<br />
That you will make something that didn't exist before you made it,<br />
I hope that you will be liked,<br />
And that you will have people to love and like in return,<br />
And most importantly, because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now,<br />
I hope that you will, when you need to be, be wise and that you will always be kind...<br />
<br />
Love it? I do! <br />

Just like the old saying, "There is always a first time for everything." I often tell people that I was born with paper and scissors in my hand but somehow I lost the pencil. For some reason, sketching/drawing scares me. This has always been a big challenge for me.<br />
<br />
Somehow, something had positively changed and it made me wonder. Whatever it is, I'm liking it. My husband said that maybe my creative learning had gone past being crafty. He said that maybe I have now reached the point where I am discovering the artist side of me. I'm pretty sure that mixed media art and a bunch of talented artists that I have followed, read and watched had made a huge difference. Thanks to them, now I am ready to start a new journey... The journey of sketching... It will probably hard but patience and hard work always pay off.<br />

I have tried to post about my crafting/art corner of our house for several times in the past. Laziness always, always would get in the way. Instead what I am showing you today was nothing but plain mess BUT! it's a my beautiful mess...<br />
<br />
That day, I decided to conquer this chaos.<br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">But wait again! You maybe seeing a
huge jumble in my room but I see different. In the midst of it, an idea popped! I picked 4 things from that beautiful mess: wooden spoon, molded clay,
thread and a tiny flower. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">I know that later, when/if/after I add some<span class="text_exposed_show">thing
in it, it will be another fun ARTWORK! I know, I know... I have a mind
that has all the creative juices yet I have hands and body that could
not seem to cope. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">That day I let this project sit, stared at it and
continued doing the big task. I was hopeful that there's no more destruction/inspiration! Is that possible, you think!?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">One ideas after another just keep flowing in the mind. I know sooner or later, I have to get my hands dirty again for another fun project. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Focus, focus, focus! And yes, I focused on cleaning that room because I know I will be able to work better... </span></span><br />

This tag is full of textures and considered one of my favorite work...<br />
Loved the bubbles, the corals and the fish!<br />
See that corals!?<br />
That was a Martha Stewart clay and its actually a branch.<br />

Since I started doing Mixed Media art, I now have a better appreciation of grunge designs and Tim Holtz products. Thanks to Rachel of <a href="http://artfulevidence.blogspot.com/">Artful Evidence</a> for great inspiration and tutorials. <br />
<br />
"Be inspired to make something creative for the one’s you love", was the theme of Tim Holtz 12 tags of February 2014. <br />

Here's to show you how I made mine: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiDwPFoYfDiGCYyDouyL8O63luMgHPlXFXiHnuRhh1eRHioPfIybjWnRJUMcXWSPgWi1_5mMTOUThXZNZ_XpPMbZ8eWPg13ufjqfQiIPZF2vRQLYuaECNob10znUOc7i1G4XLVIMxoyUyw/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiDwPFoYfDiGCYyDouyL8O63luMgHPlXFXiHnuRhh1eRHioPfIybjWnRJUMcXWSPgWi1_5mMTOUThXZNZ_XpPMbZ8eWPg13ufjqfQiIPZF2vRQLYuaECNob10znUOc7i1G4XLVIMxoyUyw/s1600/photo+1.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1.) I repurposed one of those chipboard packets from an embellishment and used it as my tag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwNWf4-XeRLEO-WKWaV1NdR7eSe_VQYwqM1nP2pY3jubcTHTXmr42FF4qZmU0z_jYzA1nkqG1AgAL46Jvj_Mtf9XM2laZron59aCmBHKfaI05JfeZs27y_nwkRf9IFCRoP3HKoie_DaKfy/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwNWf4-XeRLEO-WKWaV1NdR7eSe_VQYwqM1nP2pY3jubcTHTXmr42FF4qZmU0z_jYzA1nkqG1AgAL46Jvj_Mtf9XM2laZron59aCmBHKfaI05JfeZs27y_nwkRf9IFCRoP3HKoie_DaKfy/s1600/photo+2.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2.) I dry embossed it using Tim Holtz embossing folder: bubble wrapping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOl8kOPcxsVJ5FkCSNSqO_G4D_630GDloo50BnOuei0PRMQvsf3mgq8TcyXioGBpAr0zUtwZdQR-rvUUKPKa_drxFdQ7bV0MdAH43P1x73Coza_AyaDumEf_5yjbsSbDp67dOXleElKhD/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOl8kOPcxsVJ5FkCSNSqO_G4D_630GDloo50BnOuei0PRMQvsf3mgq8TcyXioGBpAr0zUtwZdQR-rvUUKPKa_drxFdQ7bV0MdAH43P1x73Coza_AyaDumEf_5yjbsSbDp67dOXleElKhD/s1600/photo+3.JPG" height="347" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3.) I painted the tag with a light coat of white gesso. Tag I used was coated, so I needed to do this extra step.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1GOQpQ7CYu1lu8yG8I-skpwctyUZXhRARQeLqv2TgU_yulIoupcDuXCX9BFCBDf2PqkUeaUFtJqV0enRpsC_nZgv1VXg2IKYmz67s-gb-8BiNEHjao8PldkiFoZpXKgsZkk8l0y-PtM3/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1GOQpQ7CYu1lu8yG8I-skpwctyUZXhRARQeLqv2TgU_yulIoupcDuXCX9BFCBDf2PqkUeaUFtJqV0enRpsC_nZgv1VXg2IKYmz67s-gb-8BiNEHjao8PldkiFoZpXKgsZkk8l0y-PtM3/s1600/photo+4.JPG" height="400" width="331" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.) This is how it looks like after the white gesso dried. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then on top of the white gesso, I painted the tag with black gesso. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0bRlws79NeM0vWG81qSocrSARWOijYFkgW1AF5XNM1JQFJV9cZQpwjyYAOSfqjwrLcIuZ8YTZhrmD5CJfGXYY2Cuzyk6BlYegYw3O__58-JdEdOs8_H8fiqOO_qBQ3XWoi3lVya8l7oK/s1600/photo+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0bRlws79NeM0vWG81qSocrSARWOijYFkgW1AF5XNM1JQFJV9cZQpwjyYAOSfqjwrLcIuZ8YTZhrmD5CJfGXYY2Cuzyk6BlYegYw3O__58-JdEdOs8_H8fiqOO_qBQ3XWoi3lVya8l7oK/s1600/photo+5.JPG" height="400" width="343" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
5.) Does that still look like a repurposed tag? Nah, right!? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the texture but its way too glossy... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to bring out the chalk. Thanks to my children!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But wait! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't use the chalk just yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qaPxPAU8WFrJ911XzdGSJM-TYuSwMumq-SWh4Po0FOm5-d0ZhH5ztCDCiDUH_9BeSJllyWarhCKFKjEt07jBxKA0k_VAPuIbU2YYYzMCiHST4FplK3mp_4pSgAKV5nwJ4QL2qUadW28H/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qaPxPAU8WFrJ911XzdGSJM-TYuSwMumq-SWh4Po0FOm5-d0ZhH5ztCDCiDUH_9BeSJllyWarhCKFKjEt07jBxKA0k_VAPuIbU2YYYzMCiHST4FplK3mp_4pSgAKV5nwJ4QL2qUadW28H/s1600/photo+1.JPG" height="340" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6.) Before chalking, I sprayed my tag with chalkboard mist to get rid of its glossiness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure too that by using the mist, the chalk will settle better in tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_w8jpGZvluDDCcTxhVAod5KHwor2aQa7cXS9PCMWQuzVy4HMkZFFHzT3UEaiSGMkwXWOj8ZZ3oWvB4FciLUektmcgRKVY4HyB7t_OyHWcdPxD6veJ6Sj5P4OFuGGI2HUqqyAcZpHlda_/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_w8jpGZvluDDCcTxhVAod5KHwor2aQa7cXS9PCMWQuzVy4HMkZFFHzT3UEaiSGMkwXWOj8ZZ3oWvB4FciLUektmcgRKVY4HyB7t_OyHWcdPxD6veJ6Sj5P4OFuGGI2HUqqyAcZpHlda_/s1600/photo+2.JPG" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7.) Next, I distressed the tag. See the white gesso coming out!? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtSEcAqz8BK1Ik_s_K4ZEkgX4MGDR4LCCVoNubmQ5RNXQPq8XvMH9ncp5u8rZp9j2DYCtnPFw9bHX140q5qwWroliF7-jdR5o-aMYQJQBlC0WVlzvZe3t-SXpaLj2_NU3lOMkaVOshjqr/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtSEcAqz8BK1Ik_s_K4ZEkgX4MGDR4LCCVoNubmQ5RNXQPq8XvMH9ncp5u8rZp9j2DYCtnPFw9bHX140q5qwWroliF7-jdR5o-aMYQJQBlC0WVlzvZe3t-SXpaLj2_NU3lOMkaVOshjqr/s1600/photo+3.JPG" height="358" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8.) I started using white chalk and used baby wipes to wipe off some of the excess. I want the white gesso to pop out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04hsrjKiRyWQH06yBtKxXk_bZGNcAt6L1WWva1h1O5gz9Iiv0sgaCwbhILi7w-IAQj0wjKLVrGCT5T03j48es2CB3rULuRvJZIdsVccwu5_qoaiTTn-WqQSQYOaa1SGH_O9h0woO1l2lv/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04hsrjKiRyWQH06yBtKxXk_bZGNcAt6L1WWva1h1O5gz9Iiv0sgaCwbhILi7w-IAQj0wjKLVrGCT5T03j48es2CB3rULuRvJZIdsVccwu5_qoaiTTn-WqQSQYOaa1SGH_O9h0woO1l2lv/s1600/photo+4.JPG" height="358" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9.) Since, it's Valentines, I added some red chalk in it too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I inked the edges of the tag using distressed inkpad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nice, right!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7qOVv4TqI-AM2OfFzQhsfTtQW-MNbNanO6TQy322GARrR3fC58ecotPaZ5NrG5-nh23v7zyj3RBwH7XxORLOZ4gZAB5QLScNXf_MI9vrbjohW37OOA-YBubINDtV6L-kezZWO6oXtAtB0/s1600/photo+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7qOVv4TqI-AM2OfFzQhsfTtQW-MNbNanO6TQy322GARrR3fC58ecotPaZ5NrG5-nh23v7zyj3RBwH7XxORLOZ4gZAB5QLScNXf_MI9vrbjohW37OOA-YBubINDtV6L-kezZWO6oXtAtB0/s1600/photo+5.JPG" height="400" width="325" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10.) Assemblage begins!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut a heart, used leftover die-cut sentiments and tore up some pieces of papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTt3vmQweke5VqkzTyPX0f12uY57X8vrmiy2r9enYrSqOgsidk5lZw1q1I8zwQ0NYuA72r4LTWeiSkEUIUgBFHmNGkYwxtkEk3L7Izlc_lW8eDEL4orz2yu1IrwSwX_C3O7yiQ6fJW-NX/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTt3vmQweke5VqkzTyPX0f12uY57X8vrmiy2r9enYrSqOgsidk5lZw1q1I8zwQ0NYuA72r4LTWeiSkEUIUgBFHmNGkYwxtkEk3L7Izlc_lW8eDEL4orz2yu1IrwSwX_C3O7yiQ6fJW-NX/s1600/photo+1.JPG" height="400" width="316" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11.) Time to bring out the stamps and start stamping!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4NNxSd34FA28XlUfVrsUnsRpbpzyqCbU7rHfu9HU3n6uZQdldlbUyR0VmS99_2CacU3RRq6RB5wQf_IK-bOxm-fs4amnGlYXi_1I2p4ijGTZugS2Kn8eKtFFvX-UUQnsxjg3hCCF0dZ-/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4NNxSd34FA28XlUfVrsUnsRpbpzyqCbU7rHfu9HU3n6uZQdldlbUyR0VmS99_2CacU3RRq6RB5wQf_IK-bOxm-fs4amnGlYXi_1I2p4ijGTZugS2Kn8eKtFFvX-UUQnsxjg3hCCF0dZ-/s1600/photo+2.JPG" height="400" width="398" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12.) After stamping, I spot painted white gesso and added drops of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liquitex professional acrylic ink (pyrrole red).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDyRZK1Kd7mZinVjLFxMSLEDg_khYzC_pb13IAGZPEbcx93vmygL4G3upGWWO6OQckgCrCNFKOgsFSm1pDnfDg6CePiFjdGQCkdEkQIJU3pL9pBxJPmJnNOAVi5MLx75crtZEnTHVWKifI/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDyRZK1Kd7mZinVjLFxMSLEDg_khYzC_pb13IAGZPEbcx93vmygL4G3upGWWO6OQckgCrCNFKOgsFSm1pDnfDg6CePiFjdGQCkdEkQIJU3pL9pBxJPmJnNOAVi5MLx75crtZEnTHVWKifI/s1600/photo+3.JPG" height="400" width="281" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
13.) Assemblage begins...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I adhered the die-cut heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I highlighted everything using charcoal, black marker and white paint marker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added the embellishment: flowers, metallic findings, trims, laces, light bulb and charms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added couple stitches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4NHYozrxPCFU64FTxHR2MKpuzvw2AmGruclcdQNEdCc4mxS-J5svf_zq5coDSGb5TV1Qho1kpanLZhnHAY-sx_Y8ULYWLG7ilMhIjeyN-H4J5d8nDTlvLPvViiEhrSbwwi2InXe45aGU/s1600/photo+5.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4NHYozrxPCFU64FTxHR2MKpuzvw2AmGruclcdQNEdCc4mxS-J5svf_zq5coDSGb5TV1Qho1kpanLZhnHAY-sx_Y8ULYWLG7ilMhIjeyN-H4J5d8nDTlvLPvViiEhrSbwwi2InXe45aGU/s1600/photo+5.JPG" height="400" width="330" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
14.)At this time, I am still thinking if I want to add more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXE6hgHN6VNzeCu4kP0Sx99N8Ksndx-EY1kGrECJF_LddpxL1UUbfn_ZFABxEIozqEl2VAXf4HI2wWAYxUL2GpfNroA5rvoEp5KCbjHrXNqW0025vZowT82mblr4fsFIGchJ02FzyWnzLy/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXE6hgHN6VNzeCu4kP0Sx99N8Ksndx-EY1kGrECJF_LddpxL1UUbfn_ZFABxEIozqEl2VAXf4HI2wWAYxUL2GpfNroA5rvoEp5KCbjHrXNqW0025vZowT82mblr4fsFIGchJ02FzyWnzLy/s1600/photo+4.JPG" height="400" width="326" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then again, I decided to stop from here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hope you like my take in these challenge! I really enjoying making tags the last couple months. Watch out for my future post!<br />
<br />
Do you believe that I completely forgot to post this tag as my entry? Well, I still have 10 more months to join TH, right!? LOL<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

Early November of last year, a super typhoon named Yolanda hit my beloved Philippines. People left with no homes, some are injured and alot of people died. It was around the same time, when I got my monthly kit from Frog Dog Studio.<br />

I was inspired to make a mixed media art canvass and used the sad event that hit the Philippines as a subject. <br />

1. Prep the canvass with matte medium. Then I decoupaged some decorative table napkins.<br />
2. Then I did a transfer image using the coloring page I got from my MM kit and matte medium.<br />
3. Colored the transferred image using gelly-roll pens. Added micro beads for some texture.<br />
4. Adhered alpha stickers and stamped sentiments.<br />
5. Painted here and there using acrylic paint. Then finally brush it up with glossy medium to seal everything.<br />
<br />
Hope you will try mixed media too! It's fun playing with MM...<br />
Till next project!</div>

Who would have thought that these journals are a little over a dollar? My first attempt with shabby chic designs. Both my children asked me if I can make some special handmade Valentine gifts for their Sunday school teachers. They asked specifically for a not so expensive gifts... Challenging, isn't it!?<br />

By the way, I decided to activate my long forgotten Facebook blog: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kleirrskreation">KLEIRRSKREATION </a>. I decided to do that just for the simple fact that its easy to update or upload anything in FB. We have to admit that it's a bit harder to post anything in the Blogger using our handheld gadgets. Now, I have to make sure, I add a FB button here in my blog...<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
Just a quick post to share my take on Mixability 47 - Texture Love challenge at SCS.<br />
<br />
This week mixed media challenge is to use texture. I've made this winter scene on a 5X7 canvass board. I've also used Liquitex Modeling Paste, Viva Decor Modeling Cream and some Diamond Dust by Twinklets for textures. <br />

Been ignoring my blog for months now but that doesn't mean I've completely gone zero on crafting. In fact, I've been making a bunch of Mixed Media projects but just didn't get the chance to post it.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here's a quick post of a mixed media Christmas project I made. It all started with a few strips of Christmas patterned paper. They were leftovers from the treats we're giving at Sunday school this weekend. Days ago, as I was going about the day's homeschooling lesson, those strips of paper was literally begging me not get thrown in the scrap bins. I don't know about you but it seems like I have something against scrap papers. I have the tendency not to use them and then later will just get thrown away. I don't like wasting but it seems like I'm wasting more paper, which I don like at all... <br />
<br />
Well, here's the project... <br />

The lantern, candles, leaves, vines and poinsettias was cut using Silhouette Cameo. The message/sentiment was a stamp from Flourishes but I also used Fiskars, Prima and 7Gypsy stamps on the background. The snowflake was a cut using Impression Obsession dies. I used it first as a stencil on the background before I decided to adhere it on the lantern. <br />

I haven't been posting about Project Life lately but rest assured I'm still doing it. I'm almost finish now with Ella's baby pictures and very soon I will be starting my son's baby pic. I'm not sure if I mentioned here that I am not too impress about Project Life albums or rather binder. I resolve this matter by trying out the faux leather binder album of WeRMemoryKeeper an I also bought a bunch of their plastic photosheets.<br />
<br />
About a month ago, Becky Higgins launched her Projct Life at HSN and unfortunately, HSN doesn't send to our location. So for you out there who missed that one great oppurtunity to get kits at a very good price like me, couple more weeks and those kits will be released in Amazon and craft stores like Hobby Lobby. I can't wait! I also bought 3 more kits couple weeks ago - Clementine, Seafoam and Turquiose. The last kits I bought was the Babykit for Him, Babykit for Her, Cobalt and Amber. I didn't like the Amber too much.<br />
<br />
I'm also been mixing journal cards from other scrapbooking companies like Simple Stories, Echo Park, Webster, Pebbles and alot more. Echo Park and Doodlebug though are my favorites. I've been also incorporating 4X6 and 3X4 journals images from Silhouette online store. And if you ever find Project Life to be a little bit pricey, then I suggest you look into WeRMemoryKeeper Albums Made Easy Collections.<br />
<br />
Here are the few more pages I made for Ella... <br />

For months now, I've been really contemplating on trying to make any kind of mixed media art or project. Finally last night after get we got done with homeschooling for the day, I spread out paint, mist, stencils, gelatos, gesso, watercolor paper, dye and pigment inkpads, paintbrushes, plastic wrap, bubble wrap, tissue paper, prescription bottles, washi tapes and stamps. Would you believe I even made my own Modge Podge as prep for this project? I didn't even think twice of cutting my Better Homes & Garden and Martha Stewart magazines for images. Yeah, it was a huge mess and I was a happy camper! <br />
<br />
The whole day, yesterday, I was busy watching tutorials in youtube and pinterest. But then, I just more confuse as to what to use and what style/design I'll be doing. So I tried to shut everything outta my mind and instead focus on what I want to do. Told myself, no rules and I am free to use or do whatever I want. Believe me it wasn't a struggle and instead I had really fun.<br />
<br />
So enough blah, blah and here am I humbly sharing with you my very first mixed media project. <br />
