Part of Record of My Life ~ beautiful 30s


When I first peek at the Crusade 16 held in Michelle's blog, I feel really excited and say to myself that I gonna be in for this Crusade fever ~~~ Art Journal

Actually, it's not so difficult to come the journal.
Purchase a ring coil binded notebook. Print and cut the photo of your favorite entry , comments and paste them to the journal. Before doing so, decorate the blank page with paint, gesso, embellishment, or any else which cross your mind.


Some of the reason for me to do the visual journal
1) documenting a process of an art piece
2) simply attaching remnants from a memorable day
3) to paste the beautiful cut out / collage
4) record the impressed/ inspired blog
5) testing on the new technique
6) I still have a record even my blog went evaporate (hope it'll not happen)
7) and the important is ......IT IS PART OF RECORD OF MY LIFE

ART JOURNAL
I painted the cover with the acyclic paint. I wish to explore the used of gesso or spray in my next page.

Live, Love, Laugh

Yesterday (Sunday) was a beautiful day of me.
I managed to come out a LO in just hours time.

This time, I think off to play with techniques taught by Scrapperlicious.



Material used

(i) The three 'L's is cut out from image of the back cover of 'Quarter Pint Album'.






(ii) Used paper doiley as the template to mask the background with my new bought Tim Holtz's Distress Ink ~ Frayed burlap.
And the negative was then let it dry, cut into half and folded it to become fan (between the 2 photos).

Stamped the Autumn Leaves's clear stamp (swirls v2) in the top of the LO.



(iii) Acrylic Paint ~ used to distress the photo and become the frame of the photo.


(iv) Finished the LO with the embellishment ~ tag & flowers

Valentine Card - When 2 hearts meet, become LOVE

One of my sis in SBS5 ~ Donna have a blog candy for us. And the challenge in order to get the blog candy is to create a Valentine Card that is not in Pink or Red colour.

So, i went for blueish-distressed look Valentine Card . I distressed the edge with Tim Holtz Distress Ink ~ Faded Jeans and Old Paper, and cut the 2 little heart from patterned paper and paste it to become one Love. At the bottom right, I masked a little Cupid. Finally, I used gel pen to draw the heart-dotted-love which represent when '2 hearts meet, they become LOVE'.




That is !
