Up up to the sky and away we fly

Did you ever go on journey with a hot air balloon? I didn't yet but would love to someday! It looks so adventurous and so much fun! And when I saw the Graphic 45 World's Fair collection with that gorgeous big hot air balloons, I just had to have it! I was thinking for some time how to create a sky so that it would have this soft and cloudy look and I experimented a little. I think it came out beautifully! What do you think? I invite you to scroll through the pictures and if you wish to see the whole process and maybe get some ideas, I invite you to visit my youtube channel, where I have a tutorial waiting for you!

I wish you a nice evening and a great, adventurous, unforgettable weekend ahead!

La vie en Rose

I always loved old movies and I addore songs from old movies. One of my all-time favourites is "La vie en Rose" by Edith Piaf. I could listen to it all day long. And today's inspiration for my new art journal pages came from that song. I used gorgeous Graphic 45 "Tme to celebrate" paper collection and some letter stickers from "Once upons a Springtime Deluxe collector's edition. I love the result! What about you?

Talking about Life and Love, I want to thank you my dear friends for visiting me, for leaving such a lovely comments all over my blog and youtube channel. It means a world to me and gives me so much joy and a big wish to prepare some more lovely projects for you. Thank you!

I invite to to scroll through the pictures of my newest project and stop on my youtube channel to take a look at the process. You can now even check my Snapguide tutorial. I hope you'll enjoy!

Have a sweet day!

Voyage beneath the sea

I made another art journal page. I just love making them. It's so relaxing! :) I was in love with this Graphic 45 collection for some time now - actually I'm in love with almost all of their collections :D. And I love the page that came out of it. :)

I love to share with you the process of my making, so as usually I have a video tutorial for you at the end of this post.

Hope you'll enjoy it! :) Have fun! And happy Valentines day! <3

Sweet Valentine

I finally managed to find some time to play with my Graphic 45 art journal again. Since it is the month of "Love" and since Valentine's day is fast approaching I decided to made a page full of love. I used two Graphic 45 collections - Sweet sentiments and 12 days of Christmas. They go together so well! I just love how this page turned out. What about you? Like it? :)

I didn't forget all of you who want to learn how to make one by yourself so there is a youtube tutorial at the end of my post.

Have a great day my friends and give love to people around you! <3

Timeless Love layout

Today I've tried myself in making a layout after a long long time. Over at More than Words there is a new challenge with a Word inspiration "Together" and the creative part of the challenge which is to use the Ampersand (picture with link to the challenge at the and of the post). The first thing that crossed my mind is the pregnancy as one of the most beatiful seasons in a life of a woman, waiting for her child to be born. A part of her, which she carried for 9 months and will eventually become a miracle of life. But always remained a part of her in the most cherished place of her heart.

I used 13 arts papers from "Timeless" collection and a bunch of 13 arts mediums, some gorgeous Scrapiniec chipboards and lovely Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.

I also have a video tutorial for you. I hope you'll like the projects. I'll be happy to hear your thoughts in the comment section. I happily read every and each one of them and am deeply gratefull for the time you take to leave some love in my "happy place".

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Aleksandra

"Be yourself"

I have a really rich project to share with you today. For some time I've had in my mind the idea to make a mixed media dress on a dress form which would be covered with feathers. Yesterday I finally had the time to start making one. I made a dress form from 13 arts paper with the help of my Cricut and then dressed it, using lots of 13 arts mixed media goodness. I finally decided to upgrade the project and incorporate the dress into a reverse canvas. I used a lot of Scrapiniec chipboards and some Wild Orchid craft gorgeous flowers. I've also made a youtube tutorial for you - this time a little bit longer, since it was quite advanced project with lots of details.

I hope you'll like it! :)
Have a great day!
