Double page spread for Maya Road/ Photo Play Paper swap

This week the Maya Road Design Team is sharing projects featuring Photo Play Paper. Mine is a double page spread using the Mad Plaid Christmas collection.

If you didn't already know, I have a thing for banners...which explains why the first sheet of patterned paper I reached for was the one with the Christmas banners. I just had to fussy cut them all. *winks*

I embellished the banners with Maya Road snowflake diecuts and pearl center trim.

I also decided to work on my glitter stash...which was a good idea at that time but you know how glitter is, it goes everywhere. *LOL*

If you have time, stop by the Maya Road blog to leave a comment on any of the Maya Road/Photo Play Paper swap posts for your chance at a $20 gift certificate to the Maya Road store.

Projects featuring the infamous Basic Grey birds! *winks*

Now that the last few Basic Grey birds have been used up (although I won't discount finding a stray one because they "breed" so rapidly in my stash...hahaha), I thought I should show just how much mileage one can get from a single 12x12 sheet paper full of little birds. *winks*

Are you ready to check out my projects using the Basic Grey birds? Grab a hot tea/beverage of your choice and enjoy...

Can you tell I was trying to make a dent in my Basic Grey stash?

Art on the go...pages from my sketchbook

These days I really enjoy fitting in a little art on the go at lunchtime. At first, I was a little apprehensive about using my art supplies in public cafes but people actually don't notice because they are too busy with their mobile phones and/or whining/gossiping. *winks*

I usually bring a small sketchbook or a planner filled with different papers and some coloured pencils. 

I  keep my sketches small so that I can finish them in one sitting and feel "accomplished". 

Happy weekend friends! :)

One Saturday afternoon

So the members of the Gangster Gang (aka nephews + niece) have a serious tablet addiction. On Saturday afternoons. And have to be distracted by some other activities.

Like painting. Or sweating it out at the playground. And posing at the infamous fire hydrant of course. *winks*

I had a lot of fun mixing the old and new stash...

Slipped in my current obsession - Maya Road diecut words. :)

And of course, the last of the Basic Grey birds *fingers crossed*.

Hope your week has been fabulous so far friends! :)
