Becoming...

You never stop growing up, I realize that now,

and we all do it at different speeds, nothing is

pushing you to do it, it`s about free will, I like 

growing up but there is no end to it, some days 

you take care of a certain area and then one day you 

remember that there are other areas that you want to 

work on but it`s awesome, life is awesome, if you 

think about it, you should never be bored!

There is so much to do in this life, so much to learn,

to become!  One thing is clear to me, the most important

work you will do, is in your self!  I just hope to be strong

enough to focus on the important things, it`s 

hard for it means to really face those things but at the end

 it feels good to overcome fears, doubts and unsolved stuff,

for then you are left with so much light and brightness

in your heart that all you will do is enjoy and be happy!

Spooky tags and a gift for you!

Hello sweets! I have a fun gift for you!

This digital download with an original

skull painted by me for a spooky

creation! Please right click, save and print
for your personal use!

Then check the little tags tutorial bellow

for some inspiration! ;D

I`ve cutted the skull shapes out and used a flower punch

on some pink paper...they look so cute already!

Then I`ve used another punch to cut some big flowers as the tags!

Use spooky colors!

And used another punch for circles, if you don`t have these you can use

regular tags that are already made or hand cut the shapes!

I`ve added a cute hat and the flowers in different sections

to add variety, then punched holes and attached eyelets!

You can change tehe eyelets for some that are made out 

of paper or simply leave it as it is!

You can add a cute ribbon and attach around

 the gift bags filled with some treats!

Hand write a sentiment and voila!

Celebrate life!

Boo Card and Spooky Journal Page

I love working inspired by the seasons and holidays, this keeps me
motivated and changing helps me in not get bored so this week I
made a cuple of proects one a cute card using my new home made
stamps wich I can`t stop telling you about how much I love making them!

The background is also a stamp I`ve made, then I`ve cutted the stamped pumpkins,
I`ve been making this caracters for quite some time and now I love having them
as stamps!  A long time dream! The bats are made carving an eraser,
the rest is die cutted or hand cutted!

To finish I added a splash of glitter to the background for I love this
look of splattered stars! This unique card could be framed as it is!

The other fun project is for the new journaling group over

Hands and Heart Online Comunity I`ve creadet this group to share

my ideas on creating fun art journal pages, I love this art form,

is so relaxing, freeing and I learn so much from it!

The prompt for this month included making a paper doll witch!

Making a pocket and using the colors of the season...

Of course again those swirls stamps were home made!

There are some that repel the idea of halloween, I think is super fun and

this works prove it!  Halloween can be so inspiring and full of diverse caracters,

it is just how you apporach to it, everything has two sides and one can choose

how bright or dark you want to go! Don`t you agree?

Happy Halloween Sweet Friends!

Spooky whimsical caracters

This is my latest spooky acrylics painting  "Noche de brujas"

witches night, a cute sweet girl in her Halloween custom going for trick or treat so 

be ready to give her a sweet treat or else be ware of a horrible spell!  Lol!

Of course she`s  listed over my Etsy  SOLD! THANK YOU! 
for those who love Halloween and collect cute spooky paintings!

Are you a card lover? I am! I remember making my first cards and I feel so humble 

about how people used to encourage me to keep going! I now am a lot more confident
on making them, I know its simple to make them but there is something about the design
 part that take it`s time to develop, here are some ideas to make some fun cards for this
next Halloween along with a brand new digital collage sheet I`ve created to make them!

This time I`ve recycled some pages form old magazines, I just have a huge collection and so
I will be experimenting with all that material!  This time I simply used them to make some papers
to create this cute cards bellow!

I simply went over  them with some acrylic paints, no guesso, no sanding, no prep, just paint!
How about that? So simple and it works! They crumble a little so I ironed them to make them
flat again of course with a paper on top or else you will ruin your iron!  And that`s it!
Happy, happy, easy, easy soooo happy! ;D

Of course they are made with spooky colors, you can make your palette unique and use it to create
your projects by going for the colors you truly like!  No science, simply use those favorites!

And this is the newest digital collage sheet I was talking about, it`s super new and I love those
cute characteres which can be painted with color pencils, watercolor pencils, pan pastels, you name it!

It is now listed over my Etsy!

Here is one printed and cut, some with a punch, ready for more...

This time I`ve used my color pencils, I have a fun set of a great quality which at the end give a great result, I simply added a little color and shade a bit, again, easy!

I chose one painted magazine that I liked to go with the colors of each character, I simply put them

on top of them to see which look better!

Here is the gallery for you to be inspired! I hope you try my new spooky digital collage sheets

and have lots of fun making cards, tags, invitations and a lot more...

I simply attached the painted papers over card stock paper, sometimes simple is best!  Some images 

are  cut, some are left as they come, some have been fully painted and some just a little color!

In this one, I`ve added some glitter to the background and a circle punch to create

a spooky scenario! 

I`ve printed the mini set included over sticker paper and cut with a circle punch and used some

paper bags as the envelopes...

I looove! 

This are simply folded in a circle and they hold a candle inside!  You will have three

characters showing! I plan to put this over my window!

Is Halloween fun or what? I just love this celebration of life!
