Find Joy in the ordinary day and open doors to new adventures

I hope you are spending your first September days as lovely as possible. With the start of September here in Slovenia school also started after two months long summer vacations. My three kiddos went back to 5th, 3rd and 2nd grade of 9 year long elementary school. It's been a busy and quite stressfull week as we are all trying to again get used of all the morning and daily routins and obligations that come with it. 

But as always there is some excitement in the air as they are stepping on a new journey, opening some new doors in their lives. I tried to encourage them and offer them some advices as mothers usually do and of the most important ones was to embrace the journey and to rejoice over the small things that happen to them on this journey. So this was also my inspiration for today's post with gorgeous 49 and Market products.

I've prepared this beautiful layout with gorgeous Serendipitous collection. It is quite a strong vintage collection with lots of deep green and purple colors. But if you use the right elements together it can also become a realy soft and gentle, shabby composition and that is what I was trying to do here.

I used the background from Serendipitous collection, paper called "After the rain". I added some white crackle texture paste through my stencil with a crackle pattern. I then added a photo of a door, which I got from an online free stock photo platform. I created a composition arround my photo using lots of laser cut "Serendipitous" embellishments, 49 and Market flowers and also some lovely Dusty Attic chipboards and some resin and metal embellishments. At the end I added some Art stones and Mini art stones and some splatters with diluted white acrylic color for the finishing touch. I love the outcome and I hope you'll like it too and it inspires you to create something beautiful on your own today. 

Here are 49 and Market products that I used for my today's project:

- Serendipitous 12x12 collection pack,

- Vintage shades - Ecru Blossoms flowers,

- Garden seeds - Bluebell flowers,

- Archival board 6x6 - Memory captured,

Thank you for taking time to stop by. I wish you some beautiful days ahead and see you soon with some more inspiration.

Enjoy your day!

Hugs, Aleksandra
