In my journal...

Here's one of my art journaling pages, using the January Project Art kit from Cocoa Daisy. I loved playing with the masking medium in the kit! I used watercolours, mist, Cocoa Daisy stamps, a book page, clear embossing powder and a pen.

Project Art December

The December Project Art kit from Cocoa Daisy contains a fabulous travel set of Koi watercolours and a beautifully sparkling Iridescent Medium! The kit also contains vintage book pages, vintage flash cards, super cute vintage hair nets(!) and washi tape and Studio Calico cork arrows. I had so much fun playing with these supplies!

I played around a lot and for example made this tiny and simple drawing... :)

I painted over dry gel medium, previously applied through a stencil.

I experimented with some doodeling... and here you can see the amazing shimmering of the iridescent medium!

I made a page that I called "a wish list for my house"... about all the projects that I would love to get done.

I also used one of the fantastic vintage hair nets that come in the kit, to create a page about this new year. I had so many ideas for colouring the pattern created by the net! "twentyFOURTEEN" is one of the fab Cocoa Daisy stamps.

I experimented with painting a face...

...and I made a page about love... :) I love the "notes" stamp above and the "love lives here" stamp below!

Have a wonderful day! 

Blueprint - a great way to start 2014!

The Cocoa Daisy January kit is called Blueprint and I love the combination of papers from Crate, Webster's Pages, October Afternoon, Chic Tags, and more. Combined with Cocoa Daisy exclusives, such as stamps, wood veneers and fabulous papers designed by Stephanie, this is another truly versatile and fun kit signed Christine!

Here is what I've created so far... first out a layout about Tuva trying some candy for the first time. I used the typewriter stamp - love it - as well as one of the bubbles in the Bird Bubbles stamp set. I mostly used the main kit, but also some bits from the DITL kit and from the patterned paper add on.

For my next layout I used the main kit, the Drawing Board add on (love the journaling cards!) and the "DEC" stamp and the arrow stamp from the DITL kit. 

My third layout is about when Tuva met Pippi Longstocking at daycare...=) She was pretty excited and happy, and then got a bit shy after I captured this photo. I used some watercolours from the December Project Art kit for my background.
