Winter finally came this past weekend! It was beautiful and white and COLD! I loved every bit of it. Unfortunately, I'll be escaping winter for a few days this week but I will be enjoying a warm vacation in California. I've never been but have always wanted to visit. We'll be doing lots of sightseeing and tons of eating! I'll be sure to report back on the trip when I return!
I've been really into neon lately -- not usually my kind of colours. Since neons are so "loud" I thought it would be a neat exercise to complement and combine other "loud" colours with them. I got some interesting results!
This is a fun way for me to change up my décor... while shamelessly showing off my work to guests!
Remember the "mix-tape" or "mixed tape"? whatever you want to call it! I love the idea of putting together a personalized playlist and making a CD to give to someone but aren't the cases always a little blah?? I wanted to share a cute DIY with you today! Plus, it's a FREE download! How fun are these personalized CD cases? Perfect for Valentine's Day, no? Write a special note to someone by filling in the blanks and include the track list on the back!
Instructions on how-to are included in the free printable. Have fun!
Winter is my favourite and this winter has been a little bit depressing for me. There has been barely any snow! I can recall maybe two or three snowfalls? And the temperatures have been so unreal for this time of year, it sometimes feels like spring. I'm hoping for a major snow storm towards the end of the season so I can experience the magic of winter for at least a week! This was yesterday's snow, just north of Toronto.
Here is my very first sketchbook post! It isn't anything too fascinating -- actually, I ambitiously started a few studies of kale, which turned into a dramatic abstract rendering. Hoping for more interesting future pen + paper posts!
