OLW#12: i believe...

Papers: Hambly, ScenicRoute, 7gypsies, FancyPants; rubons & overlays: Hambly; stickers: 7 gypsies, SEI; letter stickers: Thickers American Crafts; chipboard elements: ScenicRoute, CherryArte; inks: Distress Ranger, VersaMagic; others: ribbons, Dymo.

TFL!

I couldn´t finish this minibook in time for the OLW#12 challenge using the word "believe". I didn´t want to make just a single page layout (so many things to say...) and making the minibook took me more time than expected... A bit late but anyway here it is. You can see the whole minibook here (SIS)or here (2Peas). TFL!

Life Art challenge

I´ve been reading lately a lot about art journals and have been seeing a bunch of lovely minialbums. I like the relationship between them and although sometimes I couldn´t define quite well the line which separate both I know there is one. I wanted to try a kind of hybrid but definitely it looks only like a minialbum. I´ve made it for Ali´s challenge at ScrapInStyle TV, based on her Life Art Principles (see week 3). Anyway I´ve enjoyed way too much making it and I´m falling in love with minibooks more and more. These are some other of the pages, you can find the whole minibook here :

7 random facts (about me)

Patterned papers: Hambly, SEI, BasicGrey, FancyPants, ScenicRoute; chipboard letters: Basic Grey; chipboard scrolls: FancyPants; stamp: Catslife Press; inks: Tsukineko.

TFL!

Although I did´t make the cut to move on round 2 of LSS V.2 I´ve taken their challenge anyway: "7 random facts" and made this page with 7 random facts about myself. And sure they have been random, I wrote the 7 first things that came to my mind. One of them: 4. My printer "has died". I need to buy a new one. worries me seriously because I usually print my photos at home and now...I won´t have new photos for a while. So I will have to dig out my old ones. Not so bad idea indeed, I have tons! (never scrapped before...)

Have a nice weekend!

OLW #11 challenge: gone

8,5x11. Cardstock: Bazzil Basics; papers: SEI; overlay: Hambly; letter stickers: American Crafts; stamps: Fancy Pants; ink: Tsukineko; ribbons & diecuts: BasicGrey; journalings stickers: Heidi Swapp, 7gypsies; clip: 7gypsies.

TFL!

This page is for OLW Challenge #11: using the word GONE. I´ve tried to use bright colors because the photo was B/W and is a bit "old" and needed light in some way. I also used the overlay to brighten up the photo, cut it in a circle (it was my first Hambly and I almost cry when cutting it... it´s a joke! but now I know why people are so mad about Hambly) and inked the edges, although in the scanning is almost invisible.Those were wonderful and very happy days and I don´t want to remember them in black and white...

Thank you and all about PJ...

I want to THANK YOU all sincerely for your nice comments on my last post. I´m so glad you´ve liked it... really! you have to try it, it´s easy and funny. About watercolor pencils, they are cheap and very versatile (just a few colors are enough), you can take them with you in your handbag, if you have children they will enjoy them as well and if they use a baby wipe for blending instead of water you -and all your surroundig stuff- will be safer.

And about PJ...OK, not all, of course. But just a couple things. First, take a look to this wonderful tag-mini-album she made about her blogging friends. I´m so very happy to be in it! This is the page she made about me, isn´t it lovely? all the other tags are lovely indeed!

Tag and minialbum made by PJ.

Second, I would like to thank her for recommending in her blog the unmounted stamps from Catslife Press, I ordered some of them and I agree with her, the customer service is excellent and all the stamps are very cool! (and unmounted are easier to store)

And finally, if you haven´t already done, check out here her creative skills! She´s a master making homemade foam stamps and cool journaling cards. Don´t miss it!
