With Yasmin: From Desk to Done #43

From Desk to Done, mixed media, Scrapbooking, Uncategorized
From Desk to Done #43, With Yasmin.  Pictures of me and my cousin, Yasmin, whom I hadn’t seen since she was maybe a toddler or a little older.
Here’s how it works.  Every Friday, I share a completed layout, along with the supplies I used and an inspiration piece.  You create based on what I’ve shared.  It’s easy and you can do it in 5 minutes or less per day or do it all in one day!  One thing is for sure, you’ll be getting your pages from your desk to done in no time! Here are your 5 minute daily prompts for those of you who only have a few minutes a day:
  • Day 1: Grab your photos.
  • Day 2: Gather coordinating patterned papers and cardstock.  Try to choose colors that match the colors in your photo. Of course you can just grab your mixed media paper, if that is your thang!
  • Day 3: Pick out  matching embellies and/or grab matching paints and mists if you are into mixed media.
  • Day 4: Cut pieces according to the sketch.
  • Day 5. Make your page.  This can really go quickly if you just follow the process, even when using paints and/or mists.

See my sample below:

FDD Sketch 43 FDD 44 With Yasmin

Another memory saved!  Yay! Inspired by the sketch.  Here are a few steps I took.

  • I let the sketch inspire me.
  • I used beautiful mists and stencils to create a unique background.
  • I added flowers to draw your attention in to the photos.
  • I added bling for sparkle.
  • Added a little handwritten journaling and a title to finish it off.

I love the ease of creating with a sketch and simple supplies.  Proof that it doesn’t take much time or a ton of supplies to create a great page and save your memories, again!    See ya back here next Friday for From Desk to Done, No. 44!  If this is your first time here, here is how you can continue the fun:

  • sign up here for updates so you never miss a challenge!
  • Visit the blog each Friday for the 5 minute daily prompts and the completed project.
  • Join our From Desk to Done Group on Facebook.  It’s more fun to create with friends, to share, inspire and encourage others and of course, to see their creations too!

Embrace Your Art: Sweet Sunflowers Painting

embrace your art, mixed media, Painting

Sunflower Painting

Each Monday, I share something I created over the last week.  Although, I create weekly, sometimes I have already shared all that I have created on the blog already.  In that case, I will share something I have not shared although it may have been created prior to last week.  My goal is to create even if for only a few minutes each day.

This week I share this wonderful painting I created, inspired by last weeks art party inspiration piece.    Wow!  I think I surprised myself with this one. Love everything about it…the textured look of the background, the colors, the reflection, the flowers, the light.  Simply wonderful and so peaceful to create.  Painting for me is peaceful.  Mmmmmm.
