new year, new decade, new goals

With a new year, comes new years resolutions.

Maybe one of mine could be giving some TLC to my blog, 

because quite frankly I have been neglecting it lately 

due to other social media, mainly Instagram 

(you can find me under my blogname butterfliecrafter)

there you will see that it is not because I am not creating anymore,

although that has also been on a low fire,

but since I followed Kasia Avery's daybydaycourse the fire has been reignited and I am trying to keep up with a daily routine.

Here are some of my favourite pages that I created during the course:

Right after this challenge I followed along with Kasia's advent calendar,

extending my daily routine,

here are some of my pages

and now I am starting of with creative jumpstart 2020

So I hope to create daily as of now 

because I feel that I need to,

that it helps me relax and destress,

and just because.

mixed media canvas

After watching a video from Peggy from CropStop I was intrigued by mixed media. I never really attempted a mixed media project, so I gave it a go. I did a similar project, but with materials I already had in my stash. I’m quite pleased with the result, although my son (aged 3.5) doesn’t like the butterflies, got to love a child’s honesty :-)

canvas with layers of paper, stamps, die cuts, modelling paste...
