Helloww!

Im surprised but happy to see more subscribers on my blog..Thanks and I am sorry I didn't welcome any new subscribers recentlyon my blog(this blog).If you have not subscribed yet, check out my right hand side bar link for subscription button, and all you need to do is click on it and just follow the quick and easy instructions...

Anyway, I have a few things lined up for you girls. I know I have not updated my blog a lot recently but I did warn you all that I am very busy at the moment. But I have realised I can also pre-scheduled some posts and thought , wow , this is fantastic..I can keep my blog alive even if I am away.So cool! I will work something out pretty soon, which means , even though you will see new posts, it doesn't mean I am posting it at that very time.So please forgive me if I do not get back to your comment or email straight away, but you all know eventually I will. Mostly, you can catch me on week ends. If you have some burning questions, email me and subject titled it 'urgent'.

Okay, here is a video tutorial I made couple of weeks ago...(sorry, never got round to upload). I hope you will enjoy it and rate , comment and susbcribe. I need your support to carry on making videos as I have explained before, this takes a lot of time and if I do not see many interests , then I will not make any more video tutorials but will keep blogging, of course.

So, this is my video tutorial and if you can double click to view it straight on youtube , that would be great.Take a minute, register with youtube, and susbcribe so you can be among the first to know when I am making new videos.Also, it will be an opportunity for you to support me by rating and subscribing...yesno?

I have used glossy card, Adirondack alcohol ink(Tim holtz), Distress ink(by Ranger), Stamp from Crafty individuals(www.craftyindividuals.co.uk), stamp from My Sentiment Exactly, Polka dots from Hero Arts, Ink and cardstock and embellishment and ribbon from stampin up. You will get to see step by step of how I have made this card by watching my youtube video tutorial but if you would like me to write it down, let me know:)

Bye for now and speak to you all very soon:)

Thanks for stopping by

Heyyyy!

Hi everyone!
Wot's up with you guys? Im not too bad, very very super busy right now.There are so many things going on and I find myself starting a project, leaving it unfinished to start a new one, lol! Anyway, lots of things happening in my life as well, busy as I have never been. I have exciting news coming up as well, but I really cannot say much right now but as soon as everything has been set up and running, I will let you guys know:)'too bad for those who are curious hey!'lol

I have two video tutorials just sitting in my desktop, about 4 projects ready to be uploaded, but I haven't found the time yet and this week is another busy week.So, bear with me okay? I know you will as you lorve my blog anyway!

I just wanted to give a shout out to Savannah , a beautiful young lady who makes beautiful cards and gives such useful tips in her video tutorials on youtube. She is great and I would like you to visit her channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/PolkaDotDesigns.You will find her blog address and twitter info on there as well.

The most amazing thing is she does NOT edit her video, so you will be watching her 'LIVE'...so you will see her working her way through a mistake, or see how she thinks on the spot, just amazing.

I am embedding a video here , watch it but please go over on youtube, watch it there , rate, comment and subscribe please:)
I think it will be great if you give her your support as she is very talented and trust me, she is still very young and I have so much faith in her and know that she will be even more famous one day!

Bye for now,

Stay tuned for my craft haul video coming up soon...

And more cards and tutorials coming up too!

Take care,

Art Journal Tutorial

Hi everyone, wot's up!
First of all, thanks for all your comments I did not know I had them until I signed in today, I have published them and will get back to you all soon....

I am going to add the Art Journal tutorial which took ages to be uploaded but in the end, I did it.
Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think, always good to get any kind of feedback.

I have edited again to add a picture of inspiration. I am actually smiling as to how this art journal has raised so many questions and curiosity...:) This is ME and nopes, I am not from Saudi Arabia.I was born and raised in an island but I have travelled...and I am now in the UK.

I have also mentioned that it was a more 'stylised' approach to the painting...and of course I would make myself look cute! hahahaha!anyway, here you go and have a nice day!

Thanks for visiting me today,

Hearts,

Carousel Note (Card request)

Hi everyone, what's up!

I have made another video tutorial yesterday and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. The watercolour technique just amazing. Even though I keep saying that oil painting is my best medium, I have also liked water colouring since high school.

Anyway, I have used Carousel note from Stampin up, the sentiment is from the stamp set 'simply said' , by stampin' up and ribbons also from stampin up. My watercolour pencils, I bought them at WHsmith(don't you love WHsmith?- I do!) and my water brush...hmm, I can't remember but you can get it at any good craft store. If you have any questions, please just ask.

Thanks for visiting me today:)

Take care

Tri-Fold card

Hi everyone!:) What's up!!!I have finally been able to upload this video and it took me ages, when I say ages, I mean ages. I have managed to get rid of the two black chunky lines which were on the sides of my videos.Thanks to Brickshot 7 , a youtuber(if that's what you call someone on youtube), who is brilliant with technologies.Check him out if you want to learn the tricks of the trade.And he is also very helpful.So thanks to him I have managed to upload my video in a widescreen mode(otherwise everything looks squashed) and yeah, so I hope you will enjoy this video tutorial.

I have used tempting turquoise cardstock, tempting turquoise and basic black ink from stampin' up and Ultimate crafters companion embossing board, scallop punch, All oval stamp set, Oval punches.And the sentiment is by My sentiments exactly but It was a gift given to me, so I am not sure if these alphabet stamp set is available in the UK, but I love the 'elegant' font of this set.

Anyway I am uploading another video shortly and it was a request from one of my faithful visitor on youtube:) I have a few other requests and hopefully I will get to make them, as , I am on holiday but many things have been lined up.I have also planned to rest as much as I can as this is what I need right now.But, the fact that I am at home, and not much to do, I am taking things slowly, one at a time and I feel really good to be able to indulge in my Craft world and forget all my worries. Crafting is so therapeutic that I think everyone should be crafting!!!

Oh, by the way, my blog is having another make over...I go through my moments where I do not like what I see anymore...but some months down the line, I bet I will not like the new one too, so bear with me.And thanks for visiting me today.

Bye and take care

Christmas card- Cozy Dream(Penny Black)

Here are some pics , as promised, from my last video. I am going to post the video here again...The reason I didn't post any pics was because, I normally edit the pics in PSP , adding watermark and adjusting the colour(ever so slightly).But I didn't get the chance to do this lately.I guess I will try to edit the pics first then upload any video which goes hand in hand with the pic of the final project.

Anyway, hope you like them...Your comments are much appreciated:)

I have used a Penny Black stamp(Cozy Dream- Margaret Sherry collection) , watercolour pencils, waterbrush, decoupage technique(using one stamp), staz on ink...Watch the video to see how I have made this card.Please rate and comment on my youtube account, it will make me happy:)

Hope to see you again soon:)

I will post my blog, and videos on other forum I visit(when I can), but maybe some blog candy can be a good idea? huh? I might do that when I my visitors counter hits the 10,000 number.What do you say? yesno?



My friend is none other than LazyKay.....(crowds cheering!)hehe, yeah , why not! And a special thank you to my all time friend Cazzy, who should be angry with me for not emailing her for such a long time...but for some reasons she is not angry(good good).And for these two special ladies in my life, I have a tiny winy surprise for you.Aha!!So if you email me your addresses I can rushover your surprise.I will PM both of you on CM&P so you can give me your addyz here okie dokie?

Mixed Media Painting

Hey peeps! I've done another video but this time, its not a cardmaking one! It is a painting one - I hope that you will still want to watch it.

This time, Ive had a hard time to edit and upload it.After each upload, something went wrong with it.And at one stage I thought maybe I will leave this and come back to it next week or something. Then , a miracle happened, it was uploaded within half an hour and then it didn't take long to be uploaded in youtube, maybe another hour or so(which is pretty good).

But I stopped moaning about it when Gary Reef(capricornArtist 73), the one artist who really inspired me to do this painting, commented on my painting himself.Check his work out on You Tube, he is so so talented. Im in love with all his paintings, and what I like about his work, is the Freedom of speech, in the Art world. Art from the Heart he says and yeah, this is what I like.If you look at one of his work, you will not leave without looking at another one - SO, make sure all your work is done, kicked your shoes off, feet up, have a cuppa and sit down and be ready to go on a fascinating journey!! When I saw his comment, I was like:Oh My God! You should have seen my face...Then I thought, it was worth all the pain!!lol.

Anyway, here we go. Enjoy.I have included some bloomers too...so you can have an idea of who I am really!!(even though I did pick some other bloomers but with all my editing and what not, these ones stayed and the other ones got deleted - but never mind! and yeah you can laugh at me as I can laugh at myself).

Altered Chipboard

Hi there! I have finally managed to upload this video...I have been struggling with this one as first and foremost, it was over 17 mins, I mean, What was I thinking? I didn't know it has to be 10 mins max on to be downloaded on Youtube. I have tried to download it here on blogger, but couldn't do it. I didn't really want to put it on youtube but well,I guess I have no choice.



Anyway, finding a song to go with it was another story as I couldnt download the songs I want from Imesh to be played on movie maker program...All in all, it was such a headache that I want to do another one soon, to try and solve all the problems I've had.If any of you out there are familiar with uploading videos using movie maker, and downloading songs, please please please, email me.Leave me a comment and a link to your blog, I will get back to you. I did put my email here but the minute I did so,my email was flooded with spam emails....so annoying!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video. I have fast forward this one much faster as I had to make it shorter...Sorry about that!Give me any constructive feedback as I would like to improve on my videos.Thank you!
