I did it again! I am a bad, bad blogger:( I am so sorry for not posting for a while but I've been busy lately with my work and my school and blah, blah, blah:) Well, who is not?! I know I could find a little time to write something and post couple pics. But, everytime I came home I was so exhausted that I crashed on the couch in front of TV and fell asleep. Isn't that lovely?! At least I found time to make some creative stuff:) Here are couple pictures of my other flower arrangements...

Birds are great models! Parrots, especially, are so much fun and it's even better when you can use a piece of them in your creations:) Well, don't get bad ideas:))) This is my old picture - my first and last try to paint with acrylics years ago. I used feathers from my little parrot - Yes - only feathers (I told you not getting bad ideas). He didn't suffer at all I guarantee you! This is a great way how to recycle feathers though, lost feathers I found on the bottom of the cage. I like painting but I don't think I have the patience for it:(

I received my two prices I won recently in one day!!! I was so trilled about it! I love to get presents, especially, in the mail:))) There is something exciting about it, I guess it is the 'smell' from traveling or what:). So, the first package was from Get Eurofied!, which is a sample box of products that are made by European artists and craft-makers. Take a peak...


So many goddies!


The 2nd package came all over from Australia! It was a blogcandy I won from Bec over at BizzyBec. She is such a sweet person! She send me an extra present - one of her lovely stamps. I love stamps as you know and I am so happy my collection is growing, he-he. Look at this great stuff I got! Can't wait to create something out of it:)

And, a little note that was attached:)

Hey Bec, I will definitely use it well:)

I was just going through my old stuff from high-school and stumbled over my old 'art-pieces'. I was so proud of them back there:) I guess now I am not anymore because I am hiding it in my closet all covered in dust. But now, when I found it again I would like to show you what was I creating back than.

Here are my jewelery pieces. I was into making jewelery a lot at that time. I was planning to study it at the university. These blue sets, necklace with bracelet, made out of plexi-glass were one of my final projects at the high school.
This creation is a ring made out of the metal top from a can. Lovely recycling:)))
And, these two guys are from the 2nd year at the art school I believe. The topic was to create different reliefs.
That's all from me for now, let me know how you like my pieces:)

Congratulations Ladies on the Life is Grand Award! You all are my great inspiration and I'm glad I have the opportunity to meet you at least through your blogs:))

Do you like flowers? I love them, especially tulips and a lots of them:))). But, the trouble is that they are done after couple days. So, how about flowers that can stay with you for a while?
It wasn't any cardmaking that I was busy with lately but couple floral decorations that we were making for our store. The arrangements are made mostly from artificial and dry flowers and I decide to show you couple of the bouquets that were finished for now.The pictures are not that great as I was in hurry but at least you have an idea how they look. Hope you like them:) Have a great week, the weekend is coming soon!!! Just 5 more days:)

I just won blogcandy from Mel!!! Her blog Mel Stampz is so lovely and her projects are really inspirational. I love all her step by step instructions for all of her creations and she also offers own templates that are very helpful and for free! You should definitely check it out:)))

My love had birthday in January, and I made a card for him. I couldn't show it to you earlier to not to spoil the surprise for him. Now, when he got it (it went on a long trip from Slovakia to US) I can show you how does it look like:)
I love dogs and Darren likes beer and here is the outcome, he-he. I used dimensional dogie stickers that were lying in my drawer for a while and finally I decided to use them. The same with the beer sticker that I bought... jesus... like 6 year ago. Wow, I need to inspect my drawer more often:)).
Also, I found use for the clear plastic pearls I got from my mom. She got them in the flower warehouse - there is so much cool stuff to find!!! I love to go there with my mom but she rather goes by herself ( I just buy to much stuff, ha-ha). The pearls are flat from one side, so, it is easy to attach it to whatever you want. I used them to represent beer bubbles:)))
The brown ribbon is from Martha Stewart and it is self-adhesive (everything self-adhesive is smart). The metal embellishment is from the patchwork store in Center Harbor, NH, and the bubble letters as well as the dogie sticker are from Walmart. I don't even remember where I got the blue background paper. I am glad I had it though:)) Happy Birthday honey!!!
