'' We are all visitors to this time, this place.We are just passing through.Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow and to love.Then we return home.'' -Aborigine Philosophy .

Awsome quote and stamp from Stampotique Originals.I ♥ it.

Today's project is for Jean.A while ago I got a  private message on my Youtube channel from Jean ,who lives in Canada.She asked me if I can do a birdhouse for her ,because she really liked my first birdhouse. So I thought it would be fun to do this favor for her.

Hi blogcreatures,

'' Life is my creation
Is my best friend
Imagination
Is my defense
And I'll keep walking

Film Tape

Hello blogcreatures,

Have you ever had a slide machine? I had, and I still have it but  it’s not working anymore, because it’s too old.( so sad*).I got bored yesterday, so I thought it would be fun to make a film tape using Stampotique Originals stamps.

 

 (Click Image)

Of course, If you have a good printer, you can make your own film tape using your pictures.I have to admit , this film tape is funny! 

 (Click Image)

I'm thinking about buying some craft markers, but I really don't know : promarkers vs copics...hard decision because both are expensive. Any advice?

  (Click Image)

I used : Femme Collage ,Wee Owl, Bubbles, Lavender Spring,Jenni's Birds with Banner , Smushasha, Smushallaum, Peggy, Aborigine all by Stampotique Originals.

Hello blogcreatures,

''An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.” by William Faulkner.

I really ♥ this quote!In today's post I will talk(show)about odd-beautiful creatures.

You may already know how much I love creepy stuff,Tim Burton's art and Daniel Torrente from Stampotique Originals.

I would ♥ to have an owl or a spider , but we all know that the owl is a creature of the night and in Egypt, the symbolic meaning of owl is associated with death.The spider symbol beckons us to be mindful of our actions as we weave our life web.

However,take the risk at least you will be happy or if you lose, you will be wise.

Mermaids?!These beautiful mermaid designs were created by Daniel Torrente. I'm afraid of deep water, but I'm not afraid of these spooky-gorgeous mermaids.

For this card I used 3 new stamps from Stampotique Originals: Smushasha ,Smushallaum and Lavender Sprig. I also used Vintage Postcard and Vintage script , by Stampotique.

Carousel

Hello blogcreatures,


Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.Voltaire.

First of all , I have to thank you all, not just those who comment but also those who follow this blog and read it.

Lately I have been challenging myself to really define what inspires me. I'm inspired by  movies, music, people, stories, dreams,nightmares and memories.As a kid I never liked to have toys, even now I have only 3 or 4 teddies.(I recevied them from special people), but I really wanted to have a musical box or a carousel. Something to take me away from this superficial world...I had to make my dream come true.

(Click Image)

Finally, I did it! I feel so proud of myself.This little project it means a lot to me and I really wanted to share with you the story behind it.First I bought the lil'metal horses and the lil' clown from an antique local store then I said to myself: ''Make your own magical carousel ,Lolly''

(Click Image)

I started out with a cheese box then I used sticky oilcloth , nail polish lid, a brush and voila! Wait wait wait! It wasn't easy.Phew!

(Click Image)

It took me two days.I really love this lil'creation.By the way check out this amazing song: Army of love.Her music is a real inspiration to me.

 The metal plate is from Debra ( Thanks Deb).I used lace border punch by Fiskars, a great stamp from Panduro, pearls, bling blings and lace.
