Peace Out and Waiting For Mojo

Hi everyone,

Been kinda quiet here. We've returned from our holidays and school is in full session and so is work but I just can't seem to kick the creativity into high gear. Ever feel that way? What do you do when your mojo seems low?

To reenergize and get inspired, I'm taking an online course called Pop & Colours #3 put on by Shirel Studio. She's got a super star line up of mixed media people and I'm really enjoying the videos! Here's my first page. I made this after watching Riikka Kovasin's video.

I love taking classes for many reasons. Yes, there's new techniques to learn but sometimes it's learning a new way to approach a tried and true technique or sometimes it's being reminded to retry something you've forgotten about. 

Another thing I enjoy about classes is how relaxing it can be. I simply followed along with Riikka's process, enjoying creating without having to "reinvent the wheel". 

So I'm still waiting for my friend mojo to swing by for a visit but until then, I plan on learning, continuing to dirty my hands with paint and gesso, and enjoying my classes.

My Sort of Early Valentine Page

Hi everyone,

I just finished working on another Pop & Colours 2 workshop (this time by Riikka Kovsin!) and I retrospectively realized I made a very Valentine-y page so hence my title :)

This is another photo of my youngest on her second birthday. I'm feeling sentimental because her third birthday is just a few months away and I want her toddlerhood to last a little longer.... She's such a love bug full of big hellos and hugs. She is also very princess-y through and through....loves the color pink, dresses, shiny shoes (so not me!). I speak to her exclusively in Korean and she still managed to pick up the word 'princess' very early on!

Here's some close ups:

And you know what? It's been a while but I'm also going to happily join in a scrap challenge! Scrap Around The World has this eye catching, gorgeous mood board up:

Hearts and pinks, totally inspirational for February and suits my little girl perfectly :)
