playing again...

playing it up in a clean studio.
the drawers are piled high... yet clean and organized.
I might get some pictures of it just for proof that I can keep a clean studio both on the outside and inside :)

but breathe deep. mmmmmmm...
clean.

sigh.

so much is being donated. So much is still being played with. And this month is no exception. I am playing the role of guest pink ninja this month. What a fun title :) I've always wanted to play a ninja.

SO to show off my ninja skillz... i made these pretties

dream big little one -xoxo
we celebrate you chicki xoxo ***


She's my favorite little one. Actually she's my only little sister so I have it made. She's fun. She just graduated university a few weeks ago and we are beyond proud of her accomplishments. Except that she lives in Tucson and that's just not right. *wink*

I basically had a doily I had cut a butterfly from inside the center. Typed journaling on a separate paper and snuck it in behind the doily. There is a sheer grey tule behind the entire design and i love it. Gives it a bit of texture and dimension. I also love the hipstamatic app for my iphone because of those cute frames. So adorable. really.

I got crazy with this one. Decided it needed some umph and cut a strand of the tissue garland (also pictured) and made it play with the paper. I think they like each other. And of course... some crazy sewing lines for a nice mix.

I'm pretty happy with it since it really doesn't scream " I'm a graduation page!" hahaa!


{ my best buddy }

my best buddy

look no further for the world's sweetest dog friend. Honestly, i keep trying to steal him from my dad. I like to call him mine. :)

I first added some white & gold spray paint lovin' to the page. Followed by sewing the canvas/fabric flowers onto the page in circle motion. Then add the embellie love around the 2 pictures. ( you can see my iphone shadow & hand on the lower left hand side of the left picture :) I kept the journaling simple. I added text on a manila tag ( from my belladrummer shop) and tucked it in behind some ribbon on the bottom of the page. voila. lucky deserves more art pages i think. he actually likes getting his picture taken more than mr.handsome. so that could work hahaa!


{ love you more }

love you more

journaling:
mr.handsome... i love you more than baseball :)
i love you more than the padres
i even love you more than ruby's garlic fries
you light up and make me happy
even your silly i don't really want to take a picture smile...
yeah i love that too. -xo


we recently went to a baseball game. i . am not. a fan. of baseball.
i. do not like. to sit. for 3 + hours. bored.
i pretty much only go because mr.handsome loves it so much.
AND for the garlic fries. :P

I softened the background design with white spray paint. Some stencil love and some paper pieces around a teeny tiny picture of mr. handsome giving me "the look".
i took the picture anyway.ha!

{ good things }

good things

journaling:

try to find a balance
let go
move on
be free from it all.
good things ahead **


i had these butterfly templates which I also used for my classes at reflections. Just cut out some butterflies from the paper kit. Made a pretty yoyo out of the fabric also in the kit. And made some little puffy flowers out of the purple fabric in the same kit. Just so pretty. i usually never use flowers on my pages so this was a welcome change. Picture also taken with my iphone. Simple. Love. simple. these days thats all i want. I'm pretty happy with the "fuzzy" unclear background. I think now looking at it it sort of looks hazy. exactly my feeling in the photo. so weird how that happens :)

so happy to be creating again.
*smiles*
