Altered flute and Lindy's gang August challenge

Hello dear friends and especially Lindy's fans

Today is first day of the month and that means new fresh challenge over at Lindy's gang blog. This month the Moodboard is realy gorgeous and will amaze all those who love soft pastel colors. 

I was inspired by gorgeous colors as well as beautiful Butterflies. For some time now I had this idea in my head to alter a flute and it seemed this would be a perfect opportunity for it! I hope you'll like my interpretation of August Lindy's Moodboard. Besides gorgeous Lindy's gang colors, I also used beautiful butterflies from Prima marketing "Lavender" collection and some gorgeous art ingredients from Finnabair.

Mixed Media Thanksgiving pie

Hi my dear sweet crafty friends,

The project I share with you today is special for me... I had it in my mind for such a long time, since I first saw gorgeous Prima "Amber Moon" collection. But it is only now I got these pretty papers in my hands and could realize my idea. I realy like the look of Thanksgiving Pies and I love the Autumn and all the gorgeous warm colors that nature dresses in that time of the year. So this collection is realy dear to my heart! I hope you'll like my inspiration with it! :)

"Own your dreams" altered Distress Ink Pad

Hello my crafty friends from Blogoland :) How are you today? :)

I'm here to share with you my latest project for AB Studio by Aga Baraniak. She recently released these gorgeously amazing vintage papers and I wanted to play with it. As I was pondering through them my eyes stopped on two quotes - "Creativity takes courage" from gorgeous "Be Gentle" collection and "Own Your Dreams" from beautiful "In Wonderland" collection. So I joined them both together, used few other images and papers from the same collections and altered a Distress Ink Pad. Hope you'll like it as you did my previous two.

"Dream, Imagine, Believe" altered jar box

Hello sweet crafty friends! 

How's your weekend going? I'm quite busy. We were with my husband and my kids down by the river, chilling ourselves and having fun and now I'm back to share with you my latest project I made for my beloved Graphic 45 team!

The new "Imagine" collection realy captured me! I loooove so many elements, but my favourite were little jars and teapots with butterflies, so I decided to alter a box with a Jar, using their "Deep Square Matchbook Box" and Imagine collection. I bought a plain white Sugar Pot and altered it to make it resemble the one in the paper collection. I added it on top of the box and decorated everything with cut-outs from Imagine collection. Now I have it on my desk to store some of my favourite embellishments in it.

Altered flourishing Butterly Box "Strength"

One Big Sweet Summer Hello to all of my friends and to all Lindy's gang fans.

Today I wanted to share with you my passion for textures. I realy love to see lots of amazing texture on mixed media projects and gorgeous Lindy's colors bring so much life to them! So today I decided to alter gorgeous heart-shaped Box.

I added lots of textures to it combining different texture pastes, embellished it with gorgeous Prima flowers and a qoute from "Havana" collection and dressed it in one of my favourite color combinations of soft pink and green. I used "Pink Ladies Pink" Flat Fabio Spray, "Pretty in Pink Pink" Starburst Shimmer Spray and "Edelweiss Moss Green" Starburst Spray. And I thought Prima butterflies would be just a perfect way to finish off such a soft and feminine project.

"Allow yourself to grow" altered Watering Can

Hi dear sweet friends,

I'm here with you today with to share my new project. It's hot sumertime season here in Slovenia and some days ago I was watering some flowers and got this lovely idea to alter a watering can. Havana paper collection from Prima is full of gorgeous flowers and was just about perfect for this project. The hardest part was to actually find the right kind of watering can - not too big, just a small watering can, but still beautifully shaped. I was realy enjoying making this project and I hope you'll like it as much as I do! :)

Beautiful dreamer, create your dreams

Hi my dear crafty friends,

I still can't just quite believe that I'm writing to you as a part of an amazing Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador team. This is realy such an amazing opportunity and blessing to me. But I've also been a part of an amazing DT of 7 kids craft store for quite some time now, beeing invited by amazing and dear to my heart owner Kelly. And she of course carries all of this amazing Graphic 45 goodies in her store. So for today's inspiration I decided to make two tags using gorgeous Graphic 45 Tag bases, small policy envelopes and breathtaking new "Imagine" collection. You can find all of them in Kelly's store HERE. I've also used some fabulous Lindy's gang Magicals for coloring. :) 

Altered Beach house of Sea Treasures

Hi my dear sweet friends,

I'm here with you with another one of my summer porjects. This time I made a "Summer altered House of Sea Treasures" using some gorgeous Prima marketing & Finnabair colors, art ingredients, flowers and also a bit of a Santorini paper collection. Inside there are three sea bottles with summer treasures hidden. 

"Under the Santorini Sun" altered Seashell

Hi my dear crafty friends!

Do you love spending time at the seaside? Isn't it amazing how sun and sea calm us and make us feel better? One of my absolutely most amazing Holidays spent at the seaside, was years ago on the beautiful Greek Island Zakynthos! Nature there is so beautiful and the sea is so amazing! I loved every minute of it and till today I'm still waiting for the opportunity to return. When amazing Anna Dabrowska aka Finnabair shared the photos of her Holiday trip to Santorini I so enjoyed it and got inspired to alter a seahsell and made a Santorini bay out of it, using gorgeous Prima "Santorini" collection. Hope you'll like it.

Hi dear Lindy's friends and fans. Today starts new color challenge over at Lindy's gang blog. Color Moodboard for this month was inspired by one of Lindy's amazing DT member's creation that we all loved to bits! And here is my take on it! I made an altered paintbrush, using fun quote "Too Fabulous to fit in" and a colorfull image of a giraffe from talented artist Kathleen Morris. 

"Believe in Yourself" canvas art

How are you my dear crafty friends? Are you enjoying your summer Holidays? I'm quite bussy, although I though I will have some free time these days. But... that only means I have some fresh inspiration for you, which is kind of a good news right? :) I'd like to share today with you Canvas art, that I made with gorgeous AB studio stencils from Aga Baraniak, some gorgeous Lindy's gang Magicals and one of the recent Nitwit digital collections.

"School days are over" altered alarm clock for Graphic 45

Hi dear crafty friends and Graphic 45 fans,

I'm with you on my blog again today, to share my second Graphic 45 project for this month. The school is over and my kids are enjoying their first days of summer holidays. Although my work gets kind of put asside in summer time, since my kids are also keeping me busy during the day, and a lot of work has to be done when everybody is asleep, I still enjoy summer days when things get a bit slower and days more peaceful. And you know what I love most these days? My alarm clock doesen't buzz off in the middle of the night.

So this alarm clock from Tim Holtz was just a perfect fit together with gorgeous Graphic 45 "An ABC Primer" Deluxe collector's edition to make a project for the end of the School days. Hope you'll like it!

"Learning to fly" altered Distress ink pad

Hi dear crafty friends,

Today I'm guest designing over at fabulous Mixed media and Art blog. This month's challenge is just awesome, I love the colors so much, so be sure to join us. So many of you asked me to make a video tutorial for my altered Distress ink pad that I shared with you few days ago, that I decided to make another, a bit different one, and also add a tutorial. I was inspired by this month's Mixed media and Art Moodboard, by it's gorgeous colors and also by gorgeous textures on the first photo, by amazing white flowers that reminded me of resin embellishments, by the beautiful blue bottles, by the feathers and by the gorgeous butterfly. It was such a joy playing with this project! I hope you'll like it and it maybe be inspired by it!

"Be fearless and brave" altered Distress ink pad

Hi my dear crafty friends,

Today starts new challenge in fb group 7 kids customers create. The theme for this challenge is "Distress ink". Oh boy... you know... I was kind of squeezed into a corner here. I love distress inks... I love the gorgeous cute colorful boxes they are stored in, but... in mixed media I don't often use them though. So I had few pads but soon figured they were mostly dry. So I decided to go out of the box and altered one of them to show you how you can always join the challenge even though in a different way. 

"There is always hope" art journal page

Hi my dear blog friends,

It's just four months since my dear dad went to Heaven and my family is allready facing new struggles. So this photo realy spoke to me and I decided to make an art journal page with it. It makes me feel better when I can put my thoughts, doubts and fears onto the paper. 

Here I used amazing AB studio stencils from talented Aga Baraniak, that you can find in her shop HERE. I used two beautiful stencils: 

- Stencil ID-61 and

- Stencil ID-36

I also used some gorgeous Lindy's gang products and Finnabair acrylic paints.

"Lavender Garden" altered wooden house

Hi dear friends. It's my turn on the Lindy's gang blog again today. I was brainstorming what to prepare for you as my monthly inspiration and I just wanted to play with the gorgeous combination of soft blue and soft purple Lindy's products. I ran across this amazing photo of Lavender Garden that I fell in love with! I love Lavender, so this was a perfect fit! I altered a small wooden house and made a Lavender Garden entrance out of it! Hope you'll like it!

"Smell the Flowers" altered box with a Secret Garden in a Tea cup

Hi my dear crafty friends,

Well... I can say that today is a very very special day for me. Today I'm sharing with you my first inspiration as a proud Brand Ambassador of amazing Graphic 45. This was my long-time wish and I'm so so happy that my dreams finally came true. 

For the month of June Brand Ambassadors were asked to join this month's Graphic 45 challenge, which is to create a "Self-portrait" project. That does not necessarily mean that you have to include your photo into the project, but more for you to make a project that reflects you, yout favourite techniques and materials used.

I was thinking for some time what to make and decided eventually to join three beautiful Graphic 45 collections - Botanical Tea Deluxe edition, Little Darlings Deluxe collection and Floral Shoppe - into an altered box with a Secret garden in a Tea cup and a little girl releasing the butterflies into the Garden.
