Wanderlust Week 6 - Love Letter

Hello my lovelies!

I just wanted to share my spread for week 6.

This lesson was taught by Amanda Grace - Pilgrim Soul.

She is totally awesome, so check her out!

I love her style, poetic & melodic Irish lilt, it's so soothing.

I loved this lesson so much & in so many ways.

I wrote a love letter to my husband & used a photo of our wedding day.

I was so present during this spread. The words flowed freely &

it turned out beautifully. Even if I do say so myself!

For day to day postings of my makes follow me on Istagram!

Wanderlust 2017 Week 5 - There is No Final!

Hello my lovelies!

I just wanted to share week 5 of Wanderlust with you!

We had to start various pages in different ways, using

items we wouldn't usually use in the first layer.

I must admit it was a bit daunting at first but I had fun &

went with it!

 Paper Tape

Focal Stamps

Used Baby Wipes (sewn on)

Distress Inks (L) Lindys & DecoArt Spray Inks (R)

Modelling Paste (through stencils) (L) Focal Collage (R)

PaperArtsy Infusions & Lindy's Spray Inks

The one above did get finished into a spread HERE.

I'm sure in time, they all will get 'finished' but it was

refreshing to stop each one after the first layer!

Certainly breaks the blank page.

I found completing the spread mentioned above,

 easier with the first layer already done.

Are you taking part in Wanderlust 2017?

#MiniMoleyDaily 11th Feb - 28th Feb 2017

Hiya my lovelies!

Mini Moley Catch up time!

Here's the rest of February's

Mini Moley Dailies.

As you can see I did quite a few 2 day spreads.

As you can see I got quite 'Quotey'! I love

using scriptures but I also love quotes,

I use brainyquote.com to find them.

I thought it would be nice to use them in a daily page journal like this!

😊

PaperArtsy Challenge #2 - Masks Project 3

Hiya my lovelies!

This is project 3 which follows on from project 2.

Using the masks I made with my glue gun (see prev post)

I made these with them too!

I told you I had fun.

😉

I used Fresco Paints, Lindy's Starburst Sprays

& Zig Clean Colour Brush Pens for this one:

I also used a Unipin pen for the detailing.

Same for this one but different colours:

This one I used Lindy's Starburst Sprays for the background

& PA Min107 Stamp with Archival Ink in Watering Can. (My Fave!)

I made some bookmarks as you can never have too many!

I used masks with lindy sprays for the backgrounds & some ArtC stamps.

I also decided to use my favourite mask in my Mini Moley

for todays page. I used Pebeo Paint, DecoArt Media Fluid

& a Unipin Pen for detailing.

Love it!

I can see me making more of these & using them everywhere,

so watch out!

I had so much fun so have a go!

PaperArtsy Challenge #2 - Masks Project 2

Hiya my lovelies!

Here's my second project for the challenge over at

PaperArtsy!

I decided to make some masks/stencils with my glue gun.

I had a whale of a time!

Here they all are:

I sprinkled some Infusions in A Bit Jaded, The Sage &

Emerald Isle onto my Dylusions journal & added water

for a background.

I added my masks & gessoed on top.

 I then used Blood Orange, Autumn Fire, Pumpkin Soup

& Hey Pesto on top. I love the translucency of these colours.

In fact I use them so much I need to get some more!

Here's the finished journal spread.

I really had a lot of fun doing this.

It's so easy & I now have my own custom masks/stencils!

Give it a go!

Perhaps you already have, let me know in the comments below!

Hand Painted Bags

Hiya my lovelies!

I just wanted to share my latest commission.

My friend asked me to paint a lunch bag for her

Mum & a maxi shopper bag for her MIL.

She sent me photos of her Mum & specs for each one.

Here they are!

Her Mum is known for wearing glasses on her head &

I made her jewellery with beads & sewed them on.

Her MIL loves gardening so bright flowers were in order.

I really enjoyed painting these, especially the floral one.

I may be painting more floral bags in the near future!

I hope you like them, let me know in the comments below!

#MiniMoleyDaily 5th Feb - 10th Feb 2017

Hiya my lovelies!

Just a quick post to share this weeks MiniMoleyDaily.

If you don't no what I'm talking about, its basically a

daily page in a small 3.5"x 5.5" journal.

You can do whatever you like. Follow a prompt,

write a daily scripture or quote or just play!

If you find it difficult to do a daily page you could just do a spread

every couple of days, which I have done this week!

Totally flexible & totally up to you!

I like to mix it up a bit in mine!

It doesn't matter when you start really does it?

If you want to join in, then please do! 

There is a FB page that Effy Wild hosts where

 you can share specifically for this but

you can share it where you like.

I share on my Instagram & My FB page!

Thanks for stopping by!
