2013 calendar cover

Hi sweets! I am glad some of you are going to 
make your own claendars as well, I think is a 
wonderful idea and also a lot of fun to make
and a great way to practice your art skills!

Yesterday afternoon  I started to make the cover of my 
calendar book, I`ve chosen to alter an old book with a hard
cover wich had fabric on the cover so it`s like a canvas!


I never know how it will turn out, I just keep adding and adding
layers of the things I like until I fell happy!


I just love collage, there is something about it that makes me happy!
This girls are to remind me to not take it so serious, sometimes I forget!





Regarding your questions about how I did the boxes,
in the previous page/post, here it is: 

After painting the background, I made two rubber stamps
to fit the size I needed, one larger than the other,
I`ve stamped first with the larger and  brown 
paint, then the smaller and white paint, all acrylics,
 the rubber stamp gives it that texture 
effect just by changing the position of the stamps!

I hope you enjoy creating yours!

On the first day of the year...

I decided to learn more this year
and follow my instincts on what to study,
I usually jump from one thing to another,
I get bored easily so doing it that way,
helps me keep interested, the bonus is that 
I end up learning a lot of different things!

I found this group on fecebook, 
Art journaling for women were they have
a challenge to make a year calendar and I just 
fell in love with the idea, so I will be doing
mine and will share with you! 

Follow this link to download 
the wonderful tutorial that inspired me to do it,
I hope you enjoy it and try too, it`s an awesome 
idea!  I did my first month this morning to 
celebrate the new year dong what I love the
most... art!


Mine is done in an altered book that will be dedicated to this only, I had other
plans but the mail is not being nice on these holidays so I decided that this would
fit my calendar and I love how is coming along!


I hope you are blessed this new year,
may all of your dreams be a great inspiration to
be better, to reach higher, to be happier!

At the end, being happy is the only thing that matters! 


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
