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.

Art Frame & Tutorial @ ARTplorations

{My DT work for ARTplorations}

Hi again! 
Thank you for visiting me today {smile}. I'm sharing with you a tutorial today and this is the last appearance of my how-to for STAMPlorations & ARTplorations blogs.

 I did a little piece of simple art work on a wooden frame using few basic ingredients.

Before I proceed, I'm saying my apologies for the blurry image because I snap the photos from my smart phone indoor during heavy rain. El-Nina phenomena cause unpredictable weather last few weeks thus we get continuous rain for several days. Despite weather, my compact camera died! Meanwhile I have been eyeing for DSLR camera and haven't made a conclusion to purchase which one yet. So please bear with me, thank you.

This is part of the process by applying gesso all over the frame and elements. You may be interested to see how it is made. Please click here to take you to ARTplorations blog to view the full tutorial.

 And here's a little close up once again. 

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed my quick and easy tutorial at ARTplorations and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for dropping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Make A Wish Art Journal & Tutorial @ ARTplorations

{My DT work for ARTplorations}

Hello everyone! Firstly a huge welcome to my new followers-cum-friends Deepti Aggarwal and Mary Catt...nice knowing you ladies {smile}.
Today I'm showing you the first spread from my children's art journal book. With four blessings I know I will enjoy filling up the pages with more loveliness and their childhood photos {smile}.

You can find step by step tutorial at ARTplorations blog. Click here.

The little girls are my first born 'Alyaa and her baby sister Anis in 2004. I can't stop giggling looking at the baby's mischief expression while her four years old sister guard her from falling off the sofa {fussy cut it already}. Well, baby loves exploring and climbing but knows no danger u? Aaaah, those were the days.

I am inspired by the mood board colors at Mixed Media Place Dream On challenge which I have selected pink and blue and of course black including butterflies {love them forever}.

I also get inspirations from 13arts Angels challenge:
