2012 First craft purchases!

Intelligence is not much time could represent the role of the heart. François de la Rochefoucauld

Happy day 4!

Today was a busy day of shopping online! I had the whole month of December accumulating items in my Etsy Cart, and I was reaching the limit of 99 items that allows ... So I have been rational, I have raised the total budget for my purchases, and I've been discarding items that do not really need to leave a final list of 20 items to a budget of $ 80. In total I have 6 orders to various shops on Etsy, I have looking forward to it all will be my own Christmas present! (In Spain the tradition of giving gifts, especially children, is not Christmas Day December 25, but celebrated the feast of Epiphany on January 6, when it is assumed that the Magi from the East came to Bethlehem to make their gifts to baby Jesus. Things of cultural differences ...) I bought several jewelry supplies, a few stamps, ink pads for stamping, wrapping cellophane bags for selling my creations on Etsy, a cute pencil & supply bag, a super cute notepads, and a collection of tools called Sew Easy used to perforate paper and card as well as decoration for embroidering. I wish I could buy some more things, but because I live in Spain and shipping costs are a little expensive to me, my budget has not given more. As soon as I get all the packages I promise to show you some pictures of my new material!

Happy day 3!

Today I'm excited! I discovered the web I needed to finish the polka dots hooked. I love to create pages full of colorful polka dots, I find it fun and addictive in equal parts. And today I found inspirational tool I needed. I discovered Seeds Design, the web of an artist named Jessica lover of color. In the Palette Search section you can find some pictures precious inspire you to capture a beautiful color palette and lovable. And I liked it so much, I decided to do a few sheets of polka dots using these color palettes. But I'm having a lot of work to cope! As I am an obsessive perfectionist, could not settle for making a single page for each palette, would be too easy! So I made 5 different combinations with 5 colors from the palette. And once I finished those first 5 pages, I liked so much that I thought it might be nice to keep a project in parallel with Jessica. (I'll tell her the idea, and I hope she looks good ... Since my versions will be free downloadable printables, and always with a corresponding link to her site ... I cross my fingers that she like my work!) So I decided to start the year and the blog, adding my vision of those wonderful color palettes that Jessica created daily. I had to choose 5 colors of each of the 4 pallets often publish daily Jessica in Design Seeds web (sometimes her pallets have 5 or 6 colors, but for my pages with 5 color polka dots and, therefore, 5 combinations of color, I thought that was enough daily work, as they account for 20 page layouts every day!). So I leave the combinations of these first 3 days of 2012, I've created with all my love for lovers of polka dots, and for all those crafters who want to use on their personal projects. Hope you like them!

Happy day 2!

Yesterday I also promised a surprise... Who do not love polka dots? I am in love with this simple pattern, almost as much as the sailor stripes. But I don't know what strange reason, it is very difficult to find online color backgrounds of polka dots on an acceptable resolution for printing and use in all types of crafts. And that is why I decided to create a collection of sheets of polka dots! Now hang on 1st pack, with a wide range of 30 color combinations unitone. Hope you like!
