 my attempt at a Tuscany villa with AI stamps...

nipa hut

Today is the Philippine Independence Day "Araw ng Kalayaan". Philippines was declared independent from Spain's 300 years rule on  June 12, 1898.

 

 I saw this hut and coconut trees among the AI stamps I recently acquired and thought it appropriate for today. Now I long for blue skies and swaying coconut trees beside the ocean...

ART IMPRESSIONS STAMPS

my new art impression stamps came yesterday and I've been obessed with them!!! here are a few of my initial attempt at watercoloring.  

WATERCOLORS FOR PROJECT LIFE

I've always been envious of people who are talented in any form of art...especially paintings and drawings...so when michelle wooderson at mish mash blog blogged about watercolors, I wanted to try it too!!! I love all forms of flowers and when she painted flowers in her watercolor book, I wanted to try too!!! So this is my attempt at watercoloring...maybe I'll take a class someday...

 

I also used a couple to hero arts stamp which I used watercolors on...these I would use for my project life albums...

 

 

I am also hooked on these vellum sewn together to create a pocket that can be filled with anything.  I like mine with a simple word and lots of sequins and beads...since I don't know how to use my sewing machine, I hand stitched this simple running stitch which was quite relaxing to do... now that I have been making lots of cards for my project life album, I better get some of my pictures printed so I can finish March...

 

make it monday: no sew quilted cards

when I saw dawn's video about this no-sew quilted card, I know it was meant for me...I have a sewing machine that I don't know how to use but been meaning to learn for several years now...maybe this summer...in the meantime, I am happy with this no-sewing technique.  here's my project life card to start my march pictures. hope you like it...
