Goodness me, January is just flying by and it will be Valentines Day before you know it. I don't know if it is the same for you but with every year that passes time just seems to go faster and faster!
Today I thought I would give you some ideas for Valentines Day cards. Two very different styles but both very simple to do. You can take the basic idea and change it up in a hundred different ways depending on your colours, style etc.
I do hope you enjoy the video and if so would share, like and comment. If you are reading this before Jan 30th 2018 make sure you also check out my Papery Blue channel launch on YouTube so you can be in the running for a fabulous scrapbooking giveaway.
Thank you for watching! Please feel free to say hi or join my facebook page or instagram
Today, I have had some mixed media fun in my art journal. There is nothing nicer than getting a little messy with paints and inks to sooth the soul. Here in Adelaide its been soooo hot and there is not much to do around the place without dying of heat stroke so slipping quietly into my art studio for some messy fun just hit the spot.
Now, I am not the best at drawing but with some concerted effort in my sketchbook my faces have at least begun to look somewhat better. I set myself the challenge of drawing 100 faces in a year. I am not quite there yet but I still have about 6 months left. When I look back at the first faces I drew I cringe but now that I can see some progress it is a great feeling. So slowly these pretty little faces are starting to appear in my mixed media work. Each tends to have her own personality and feel and I just love the way they slowly appear and you add the different mediums.
Here is a tutorial of my latest little angel, in honor of all Mothers and how wonderful they are to us. We need to remember how special the role of being a Mother is and never take them for granted as you never know how long you will have them with you.
I do hope you will enjoy this tutorial and it will inspire you to get your arty mojo on. Please consider subscribing to my blog and channel if you like scrapbooking, card making and or mixed media. I do a bit of everything here. Please feel free to share with any of your crafty friends as well. I would love to hear from you and see what you have been creating so don't forget to leave a comment.
Also if you haven't seen it yet I had a channel launch a couple of days ago and there is currently a great giveaway going on. Check it out below. Open until Jawithn 30th 2018.
Finally, I have set up a Youtube channel to share some videos of my art work.
I am aiming to do some scrapbook pages, cards, and art journals/ mixed media works.
It has been a long process for me to work out all the techy bits (not my favourite thing!) but I think I have worked it out to the point where I can finally post on a regular basis.
Of course, not everything is perfect yet but like all things you have to give yourself time to work out the kinks. I am wanting to get a better microphone to block out some of the sound issues but we will get there. Now it is about getting content up and staying up to date with the channel.
I do hope you will visit and say hi. I love hearing from people and getting their feedback and ideas, learning what viewers like and prefer. I hope you will take a look and consider subscribing if you are into anything papercrafting. Here is the launch video and if you are quick you can still make it in time for the give away!! (Before 30th Jan 2018)
Before I put up my launch video I decided to sort out my craft studio which was a 2 week process (to be truthful it is still happening!!) I was so crammed in with product that I couldn't think creatively. Fortunately after lots of elbow grease and help from hubby I now have a studio I am so thrilled with, with my filming set up all organised. I was considering doing a before and after video so let me know if you would like to see the bombsite that was and my now peaceful and inspiring creative space.
I am very aware of how blessed I am to have such a space and so much arty goodness and I still have heaps of things that I am making into mystery bags of products. If you are interested in taking a look at what I have still for distribution just let me know.
Anyway, it's time to finish off my next video which I am posting today (Watch out for my Mothers Art Journal mixed media page) So I will say goodbye for now and I hope to catch up with you soon.
