DLP: Week 26/28 Challenges: catching up...

Чудеса человек творит собственными руками. 

Не жди чуда — начуди себе сам что-нибудь чудесное!

А пока я выращиваю свои чудеса, иногда появляются моменты, когда мне удается оторваться в своей творческой мастерской. Поэтому покажу вам сегодня две своих странички, которые я сделала в рамках годового проекта, организованного ART5, Documented Life Project. Это просто невероятные ребята, я обожаю их творчество, они настоящие креативщицы, с ними легко летать по широким пространствам воображения, ничего при этом не боясь!

week 26 challenge: add an instagram to your page 

week 28 challenge: add a line from your favorite book

Скоро покажу, что я сделала для своих чудес:-)

DLP: week 15 Monochromatic + INCHes and a workshop with the nephews

"Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, your friends or your job, but with you".

Mandy Hale

Today I did a last week´s challenge for the Documented Life Project. This time we had to play with one colour, applying its different hues, shades and/or tints. I decided to take advantage of the scraps that had been accumulated in my scraps box. Althoug by the end of a selection process I had several mountains of scraps divided into colour groups, I decided to start with blue...

I also used a super mega cute flower sent to me by Susan from the States within the Happy Art Mail project. Susan, thanx a lot again!!!

And we had a new INCHes challenge at the Scrapcraft, dedicated a Easther. 

These are my little easther cutties:

 This is my interpretation of my sketch which I made for the ScrapCraft.

And a bunch of a Happy Mail ready to be sent=)

Today nephews of my husband were staying with us. Lucía enjoys creating with me, every time she comes we start to do somehting together.  But today, not only Lucía was working, her cousin Miguel as well. I was quite surprised to see a boy wishing to take ink pads, stamps and gelatos, but on the other hand that´s not something that they can do in their normal life, right? This sort of stuff they don´t usually use, it´s something new and very interesting for them.

And my pets=)

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

DLP: Week 11- draw, collage a bird

Finally did a week-11 challenge. Took all the birds stamps that I have and just stamped them randomly on different scrap pieces. Then collaged to my moleskine page. This is the result=)

DLP: week 12- cut up a magazine and a happy mail sneak peek...

Since we don´t buy magazines, preferring their e-versions, I cut up an IKEA catalogue and my hubby´s Audi magazine. Also couldn´t help cutting this cute black cat from a Gato Negro shopping bag:-)

And a Happy Mail sneak peek (ready to be sent)

DLP: week nine-collage somehting you´ve recylced.

Well, I´ve recycled lot of stuff, as I always do because for me art doesn´t exist without recycling. I LOVE doing that! When you work without ready-to-use material, your imagination starts to search for the ideas, you begin to try to use this and that and finally the result is always unique and very exciting!

So, what are the things that I´ve recycled?! for the week nine challenge of the Documented Life Project.

1) grey craft-paper that comes with IKEA furniture separating pieces from scratching- I was using it to "clear" my stencils after gelli-plate printing, that´s actually one of my favorites things- to use this kind of stuff in you art!
2) IKEA catalogue- I´ve cut out an image with an owl carpet, a sofa and a piece of some kids´stuff,
3) a newspaper which I was using to clear my stencils as well,
4) a chocolate box- I used it to draw the circles on it and then cut them out.

Happy Sunday to everyone!!!

Documented Life Project (DLP): Week 1, 3, 4, and 7....catching up=)

Hi there!

I´m very happy that I have found this super mega wonderful Documented Life Project. Joined it and started to created with the girls, who are just amazing, so talented, free at expressing themselves and just so coool! I adore creative people. They motivate, inspire and let you know that you should go on...because there are so many people who unerstand you and share your love and obsession for the same things:-) I hope and looking forward to make new friends, participating in this project, so you´re free to join my blog and leave a link to yours=).

I watched the video-tutorial of Lorraine Bell about the moleskine planner and LOVED it! Thank you so much, Lorraine, you´re a genious! 

I should say that I am NOT following all the tips and advices of the project, first of all because at the moment when I found this project I already had my Unipapel (a 100% copy of Moleskine, guess it´s a spanish version)  planner bought and started, BUT not as a planner....as a diary! I have a very bad memory and decided to put down the things that happen to me because I´d love to open my diary some years later and rememeber the moments that I´ve lived through. Especially this year (and the years to come) when we´re living lots of important, touching and exciting moments of our life... . 

Also I discovered that recently lots of blogs are offering Project Life challenges. First I wanted to buy me all this stuff like an album with plastic pockets, cards...but then I changed my mind, cause I´ve never liked these scrapbooking albums with plastic protectors, for me they are sooooo cold, formal, and little creative. And with Project Life album was going to happen the same. So why waste money that you don´t have?). Just one thing I really liked- the idea about the cards, so I downloaded some free kits, printed them out and decided to use them in my works the way I want. 

I do not use original washe-tape. You know why?- I don´t like to spend money on something that I think I can do myself. More over, I don´t like to have the same things as others, I like to invent and create my own stuff! And as I was attaching paper to my diary in the same way as the girls, I used my washi-tape version=). Washi-tape made with 2-side adhesive tape and a gift wrapping paper:

So, my version of the Moleskine planner is actually a diary  (98%), where I write all that I feel, think and want to document...accompanied by some pictures (my Project Life style:-)), memorabilia, and a little weekly planner which I use mostly as another way of documenting the events that are happening in my life. 

That´s why I don´t go so creative and free as I do in my art-journals, because my art in this particular project is defined by the events, feeling and thoughts that are described in my diary...! Well, that´s not very well said, because I do go creative, the only difference is that creating here I usually have an idea of what I´d like to do, what color to use, what shape to cut, e t.c.

Ok, let me show you now how I´m catching up with the project:-) 

Week one

(I made a sketch of my front door)

 "the door" actually opens and appears an image of two cartoon creatures flying with umbrella.

That´s my interpretation of .... (can´t say more, sorry).

And this is how the whole layout looks:

This is my husband in the picture the day of his birthday opening a present=).
