Life Is A Journey {Mixed Media Tutorial} @ STAMPlorations

Hi everyone! I am back once again after a long sleep silence. March is definitely a busy month for me and this week I can finally breath normal after too many gasps the past three weeks.

There were sports days at my girls' schools to support and cheer on followed by exam week for me to assist my girls with their revisions. We also have guests two weeks ago and you bet I was busy cooking for my nephew and his family. Then my eldest daughter came home for a week break enable me to stay put from driving her sisters to school. They're always super thrill when their big sister is home. She return to campus yesterday morning. Then my son decided to pursue his love and interest in automobile world so he enrolled for a course in it and started yesterday.

Now that my two grown ups have quite settled down and my two school kids are enjoying their one week school break, I started declutter my craft stuff yesterday and wardrobe next.

Oh yes, this evening we will celebrate my husband's birthday. Nothing fancy just a simple menu after he gets back from work. We have already celebrated his birthday earlier on at Pizza Hut while our eldest daughter was home. That was great moment indeed.

Enough blab! Let me now drive you to my new art journal page.

All About Spring ~ TAGplorations @ STAMPlorations

Hi crafters and friends! How are you all doing today? I'm good. On this day, we at STAMPlorations brings you a fresh new TAGplorations March Challenge for tag lovers especially. You can create your own tag, use die cut tag from any brands you have or use thin metal dies from CUTplorations to make your project/s with tag/s. The choice is yours. So let's bring out your creativity. 

Here's my tag with hope to inspire you and that I hope you like it:

I used Stitched Tags Nesting Dies from CUTplorations available at the shop for this creation.

This project used plenty of masking in the making and that was really fun because I haven't done masking for so long. The flowers and butterflies are from Big Bloom Factory and Blossom Like A Butterfly stamp sets. I stamped down three sentiments from Its A Girl Thing Kindness stamp set.

For the first time I used combination colors that's out of my comfort zone.

I need to know your thoughts on it so please leave your comment below.

I would love to know if they look spring enough {smile}.

Do display the graphic above in your blog post to be eligible in the votes.

And STAMPGIRLASMAH will give you 20% off on your purchase.

 Until the morning after. See you when I see you.

Hugs and smiles,
