Paper doll, collage and rain, rain, rain

2010-07-26T23:42:00.003+02:00

It's vacation and time to get creative. The last 3 days Maya and I had fun and made paperdolls. We got out our paper stash and glue and some magazines for inspiration and made paperdolls. Here's my "Angel Wings"

That's one day playing with paper, here's day 2 where we made a collage, Mine is called "we're having pig":

And day 3 we had to spend inside because of the rain, so what better way to get inspired and make something about rain. My Art Journal page, "Raindrops from Heaven"

That's a lot of creativity for me in 3 days but I guess Maya has a lot more planned for me.

Want to see Maya's pages, look here at her blog.

Words of Inspiration

2010-06-06T10:02:00.001+02:00

I made this page for the April Altered Hearts Zine. I used on of my favourite alphas, the Altered States Alpha by SherrieJD. I scrapped a lot of words of inspiration, can you find them?

Did you know the new Altered Hearts Zine is in the shop? you can find it here, it's all about Freestyle.

This ATC is made for the Scrapartist Transformation Deck Challenge. You can check it out here at Scrapartist and you are welcome to play along. The topic for June is Balance:

2010-06-04T09:25:00.003+02:00

I scrapped a picture of Haye, with Merkeley Designs latest kit called Lady Buggin. Perfect for him because it has his favourite new colours. Red, White and Black. This is probably what I will see of him all summer! The back of him while he is on the water.

And I scrapped an old picture of Maya. I used the copycat template for June. You can download the template at Oscraps and play along in the challenge.

This is a page, the M page, scrapped with the ABC white space templates of Biograffity. I also used La-Tee-Dah, a music kit by Sally's Angelworks and Jodie McNally.

And a page with a template by Crystal Livesay, scrapped with a kit by Kitty Designs, the collab with Kasia, called Daylicious
