Birthday card for my aunt

I made this quick card for the 80th birthday of my Polish aunt.

Altered free postcards

My latest challenge to myself is to keep altering the free postcards into quick cards with some washi tape and various verses.  Here are three cards I made today.  On the left/ top there are an original cards followed by my creations on the right/ bottom. 

Be Brave Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial

Celeste has just spent a couple days at my place, after we celebrated Margaret's birthday, and we had some time to play.  We followed Be Brave Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial on You Tube but as usual the final results were so different to the original creation.  I loved my "dream" letters so much that I decided not to cover them or change their colour, as the tutorial directed.

Princess Margaret's birthday

It has already been one year since we celebrated Margaret's 50th birthday with Paper Princesses, amazing how the time flies. As Margaret has some tree twigs in a vase where she hangs decorations, I decided to make some hanging decorations for her and I used hanging Easter eggs which I purchased on a post-Easter sale.  It was fun to turn brightly coloured eggs into vintage look.  Below are photos of my efforts, as well as a quick tag made with my favourite product being the washi tape, and an altered gift bag, again using the washi tape to cover up a commercial sign.

Another wedding card

This time for a colleague at work.

Wedding card

My cousin Michal is getting married in June in Poland. We got this funky invitation to the wedding but sadly we won't be attending.




This is the card I made for the couple, I blew up the bottom photo from their invitation and used lots of hearts all over, as you can see below.

More journaling

Finally I managed to do some more pages in my journal. I really enjoy the journaling and coming up with different ideas for pages, its fun and keeps me creative.

Remember the serious doodles from some posts back? Here they are as a background of this page. The meeting turned out to be very useful after all lol.
