Faith (12x12 layout using Prima Fairy Belle Collection)

Sadness creeps up, and starts through a peep hole. Crawls its way down and makes you collapse. Then one day faith opens your eyes and you finally see a beautiful world above. Nina C.

I used Prima Fairy Belle Papers and flowers. I covered the vase with resin and sprinkled diamond dust and glitter. I love this layout and am totally in love with this collection. 

It felt like my arm had been torn off....12x12 Layout using The Prima Meadow Lark Collection

 I am a Mixed Media Artist and consider my style Avant-Garde, moving, expressive, and evocative. I always create based on how I felt at some point in my life.  I started crafting to find a way to express myself through my art.

It felt like; my arm had been torn off. It felt like; I suddenly had no legs to walk. I felt awkward. After 13 years of marriage fell apart, and my husband left me. I am not ashamed to admit how I felt. It was a hard thing to accept, and I still struggle, allowing that my family fell apart and that my kids don’t have both of us under the same roof. It took me a long time to accept things, but I never lost hope. I finally met unconditional love.  I realized life is not perfect, and it is never meant to be. I learned to love and appreciate the world around me. I felt a sense of relief and freedom.

This picture was one of my favorite images of my beautiful daughter when I did her makeup as the Black Swan. I love this picture because I wanted her to give me sadness, and she did a great job! This picture was taken last year in February and remained one of my favorites. It makes me feel darkness when I look at it. I used the beautiful papers from The Meadow Lark Collection by prima, which I love! I also added my homemade spray and Prima flowers. I used some prima stamps to add the journaling part. 

Her Angelic face expands the power of color!

I used the Martha Stewart circle cutter to add paint and make half circles as the beginning of this 12 x 12 layout. 

I created this layout from scratch. I started with a 12x12 white card stock and started painting half circles. I always try to expand the beauty in the simplest things. To me, black rings and half-circles are beautiful, so I went from there and used watercolor paints and some homemade spray inks, stamps, opaque gel pens, and some of my doodling. I used some handmade and store-bought flowers. I love the bright colors and happiness in the layout, which describes my niece Bianca. 

Martha Stewart simple circle cutter

I came up with a technique to paint circles using this cutter, and it worked!

Supplies needed:
Martha Stewart simple circle cutter, paint, foam dots, and a sponge.

1.     Remove blade and replace it with an adhesive foam square dot. 

       2.Cut out a piece of a sponge, and place on top of foam, since dots have adhesive already, no glue is required.

This is what you should end up with

3. Add paint

4.  Now use it as you normally would, only thing don't apply to much pressure. 

                         I love the way the paint glides and forms a perfect round circle. 

                              

 This is a start of a layout that I quickly came up the possibilities are endless!Hope this tip helps my fellow crafters. 

     

More of my handmade Lollipop Mirrors :)

 I used images of Marilyn Monroe and Betty Page. I created frames and backgrounds on photoshop to make the picture unique and one of a kind. I printed copies on glossy photo paper and covered the image with clear vinyl to protect it. I took a plate and glued the image on one side and, on the opposite side, glued down a circle mirror. I then decorated with ribbon, lace, trims, flowers, bling, and fabric.

I made this one with a  Parisian style.
