Fun with friends

I restarted to invent LOs with colors that I wouldn't pick without the proposal The color room. Nice and warm colors were perfect for making a LO that catches the sunny day that Kian enjoyed with his friends. I had so much fun sitting on the swing with 5 boys and making photos going up and down :-)
What I especially like on this LO is a pinch of artificial moss that gives to the page a great "playgroundy" look and just perfect for boy-pages.

This is my quick post and enjoy the last summer days.... That's an order :-)!!!!! I have to enjoy them too so I'll put down more lines when the weather gets worse :-)

Altered candy machine

Long time no see....... I was away from my blog for a long long time but this summer was full of enjoyable projects, nice migrations and relaxing hours chatting, playing, meeting special persons. Sometimes we just need a break to fill our batteries full again and I think it is time to restart enjoying paper and I HAVE to restart visit all the marvelous places on the net that I used to. Sorry for my absence.....
This time I altered a candy machine. This is meant for a gift, for a special, sweet person and the candy machine is the appropriate idea, don't you think? I paited athe machine with white crackle paint. I used some fake ice cubes on the bottom of the bowl and covered them with Prima flowers. The word "sweet" is mounted on a stripe of acetate and everything is finished with Prima vines and trinkets.
I love the idea as it gives immidiatly the feeling of the sweetness... of the soul.

Let me continue my adventure and you are all welcome again my friends!

New baby girl surprise sphere

It's spheretime again and you know I enjoy making my surprise globes. This time I made it for a newborn baby girl. I love to make the sphere's outside surface look like canvas and for this occassion this techinque was even more suitable as it reminds of old school diapers. A shower of crystals on the other hand makes it more prescious and girl - just indispensable:-) A lot of Prima flowers and a Prima trinket on the top and a Melissa Frances resin applique for the special little princess. A shiny and glittery "welcome" invites us to open the sphere.

The inside of the sphere revels the hatched name of the baby girl – a symbolic birth.

Have a great day and search for little miracles!

Pirate's gift wrapping

I love to wrap gifts and I always want it to be as good as the surprise in it. This time the gift was for a little boy. I stamped a regular package paper. I took an empty bottle of glimmer mist and trasformed it in a distressed pirate bottle with a message inside (my son made a beatiful drawing for him). I glued some sea shells and some sand. I added also two prescious pirate's coins.

I hope you liked the idea and maybe you'll feel inspired when you'll make your next gift wrapping ! Ahoy scrappers!!!

My favorite piece of art is...you

These are my favorite things has a new queastion: Do you have a favorite piece of art? I thought about what always amazes me and gives me goose bumps and is a pure expression of different kind of arts and I had no doubts :-)

Speaking of art I had to use my empty tube of color and a paintbrush and a lot of messy color spots. As I wanted the out squeezed paste to remain as fresh I waited it to dry and then put some glossy varnish on it. I used the Tattered angles screen and covered it with a lot of paint to obtain a havy frame structure.

Have fun searching your favorite piece of art!

Hello everyone! Here I am to make my little tutorial for the bubbly background that I used in my LO "Looking 4 adventure". First of all I have to say that is so so simple you will not belive it and beside this you'll also have fun doing it, I promise you!

You will need:

- a small pot

- dishwashing detergent

- a straw

- water

- food coloring

- paper

Step 1: In the little pot combine a little of water, a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent and food coloring.

Step 2: With a straw blow into the liquid untill you form a pile of bubbles .

Step 3: Place your paper on the the bubbles poping them until you reach the edge. You have to be a little bit fast here because the coloring tends to slip of the bubbles into the liquid. Let it dry!

..... and here you are!!! You have an amazing bubbly background. I love it and you can do it in many colors! Isn't this funny simple?

I hope you'll use it and realize wonderful projects with this technique! Have a great weekend!!!

Looking for adventure

Hello everyone! Here I am and I have to say it's a busy time for me but I couldn't resist not to scrap a bit. I remembered a lovely idea to make a bubblybackground and that was the start for assembling a new LO. If you love this bubbly background come back on my blog tomorrow because I'm doing a little tutorial how to make it.

I love watching ma son's enthusiasm in searching for tiny things that are like treasure for him and even exploring an old trailer can be a marvelous adventure.
A lot of out poping elements in this LO but surely the most out standing are the little stars that I just made by myself. I love them and they are a perfect boy LO flower replacement.

Have a nice day and don't forget to come back tomorrow!
