Wonderful Wednesday ...a link party!

Posted by om 0 comments

We are halfway through the week already, and so far it's been pretty good. A bit hectic, but good! We've been working round the clock tying up all sorts of loose ends. Happy to be finished with some larger projects and ready to tackle some new ones! Today will be full of Art Journaling, and working on tomorrow's class. We are pretty excited! We have no plans for our pages yet...which is kinda making me nutty...but on the other hand excited! I actually never have an idea for a layout before sitting down. I know there will be some pink though! :) 

It's Wednesday...and that means Wonderful Wednesday! The little blog hop/link party I have been co-hosting the past few weeks with some sweet gals. No matter what type of blog you have or read there is something for everyone here! Art, DIY, Fashion, Lifestyle, Beauty, Newlyweds, Mommy blogs, and so much more!  Let's have some fun! 

Have a Great Day guys!

Eldad Hagar at Vancouver Meet and Greet to Benefit Paws for Hope

Posted by om 0 comments
Eldad Hagar is doing inspiring rescue work which is often captured on video and shared with the world. These videos show the extent to which he will go to save a stray, abandoned, injured and often very fearful animal. The goal of sharing these videos is to show people that if you look past the filth and fear and give the discarded creatures a second chance, you will be amazed by the transformation that can happen.

While Eldad has been doing this life saving work for years, it was the rescue video of Fiona that captured the world.  Fiona, a blind, matted and flea infested Bichon was living next to a dumpster when Eldad rescued her and gave her a second chance at life and of sight.

The event will take place at the Waldorf Hotel, 1489 E. Hastings on September 2, 2012 from 5-8pm in the Leetag Room. Entry is by donation with a minimum donation of $10. For more information, call 604-657-4183 or visit the web site.

The Aussie Beach Shack

Posted by om 0 comments











When it comes to designing a beach house I like to mix old with new, designer pieces with Ikea bargains and I like to borrow ideas from across the globe. In the same room I might mix Asian and African artefacts with Scandinavian furniture, and if I'm lucky it will all appear harmonious and balanced like it was meant to be! I also like using interesting pieces collected from the beach and sand dunes. Treasures found in nature such as ... shells, branches, stones, feathers, old fishing rods, cane lobster pots, fishing floats, driftwood and vintage boat oars ... all make great displays.

A cute & crafty haul

Posted by om 0 comments


When the mail arrived today I was beaming! You already know that I just adore washi tape. I love to use it in my art journaling, collages, cards, and tags, and it is just about the cutest method for hanging small bits of art on the studio walls. I know I'm not alone when I say that being a washi tape lover has you walking this weird line, wherein you want to use it on everything and don't want to use any of it at all. (just want to hoard piles and piles till the corner of my studio resembles a washi tape ball pit that I can lay, jump, and roll around in) True. 

Since debuting our Art Journaling series I've been pulling out all of my bins, baskets, tins, tubs, jars, baggies, and folders,  gathering up all of my favorite bits to use and share with you guys. If you have it..use it! It'll only make you love it more...right? So I vow to use all of my stash favorites each week. This will be that little push I needed. I remember when I went through this sort of thing back in 2007 at the height of my vintage wallpaper hoarding. I didn't want to use my slowly and carefully collected, coveted papers. But what good did staring at them do? 
 I know when I finally conquered that hurdle, I was just in love with every collage, tag, and assemblage so much more! Again guys...if you love it use it!  :)



A few of the washi patterns above will replenish what I've used...but the pink cameras, and summery floral, as well as the cameos are new to me! I've been drooling over them online for a while and thought it was about time to add them to the collection and to my art making!  I found them here. 





And you may remember this adorable little Poulain Camera stamp as one of my Friday Favorites from a little while back. eeeee!...it is now mine! I am so excited! Isn't it seriously the cutest? And it's little brother just had to come live with me as well. Yeah for some reason I see the Fotka as a boy.  And the Poulain as a girl.  Well it makes sense to me. Humor me. ;)

So yes, today was a happy happy mail day over here! I'm wondering what will end up in this week's journal spread? Maybe some stuff from this haul?? You know, since we used Aaron's journal last week, and he chose the colors and vibe...it's now my turn! Bring on some pink!! :)
