Vintage Folio and Happy Birthday Imushka

Hello dears!

 I'm here today sharing my project inspired by the fabulous  Art Daily Cafe August Mood Board. 

I'm not sure if I call it a Folio or a Folder but I can say I really enjoyed creating it!

Those who knows me already probably noticed, both recycling and upcycling are very close to my heart so I embraced  this challenge happily. I find Finnabair's packaging so beautiful that I keep a lot so it was easy for me, I only had to choose which one I wanted to work with. Do you recognize them? 

Today is my Mother's Birthday so this project is dedicated to her - this amazing lady!!

Looking forward to seeing your projects! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happiness looks great on you!

Hello friends!

This month at More than words we have the word HAPPINESS and the SKETCH as a creative challenge. I made and LO inspired by them using my Daughter's photo.

She is my HAPPINESS and he is hers! One year ago Juice (the Cat) arrived at our home and since than my sweet princess is always happy.
I was inspired by the SKETCH to use two photos and made  this LO which I realy enjoyed creating and love the result. The sentiment I've chose is perfect for this photos: 
'HAPPINESS looks gorgeous on you!".

Word Inspiration - HAPPINESS
Creative Challenge - SKETCH

What does the word HAPPINESS inspire you to create? You can choose to use the actual word somewhere on your project or simply be inspired by it. Please explain in your blog post how it inspired you if it isn't obvious in your work.

Our blog has a new Challenge with a beautiful and glimmery moodboard for your inspiration! Five inspiring pictures and an a gorgeous color palette! 

I was  immediatley inspired by the  bottom center photo - the tree with the flowers and light passing throgh them reminded me of a Jewelry piece and that's how I've chosen the picture and embellishments for the canvas . The color pallete is one of my favorites combinations! For the background I used the two sides of Cotton Candy Dreams - Mint Julep for the picture matting 2 tags from Dreamscapes collection and Air Mail Tags.

As my usual I finalized with Word Stickers.

Love Hamsa & Video tutorial for 7Dots

Hello dears!

Today I want to share with you a very special altered project,  I've created it for my niece who got married last week. 

I made for you guys a video tutorial of the altering process.

This MDF base is called Hamsa. Hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings.
Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, the hamsa is believed by some, predominantly Muslims and Jews, to provide defense against the evil eye.

I started altering it by cutting  a hamsa format out of  Fortune teller Palmistry page, to cover all base.

While drying I cut doilies, frame and lace from Fortune Teller Fortune paper, FortuneTeller - Charted paper and Yuletide - Figgy Pudding paper.

Watch here the video tutorial to see the intire process:
