Let's Go Make Art

Hello Loves! I hope you are all safe, happy, & staying creative! About me, I have been well.

Trying my hardest to stay active and present in all aspects of my life. You & I know that

creativity helps me a lot to stay happy and centered. Speaking of staying creative, I have a fun

product and an amazing company that I want to share with all of you today.

“Let’s Make Art" makes creating art fun and easy. They offer kits with video instructions on

how to learn different techniques and paint new projects every month. You can choose

from different type of medium and subjects. On the website, they also offer some extra tools

and supplies that you may need for your creative projects. I mean, it’s amazing! They have

everything!

They sent me their Watercolor “Wonderful World Of Color” Box, and also a butcher tray for the

liquid watercolors and some extra brushes too!

I love that the box wasn’t overwhelming at all. As a matter of fact, it felt very inviting as soon

as I opened it. Here’s for your visual, Imagine me all smiles and acting giddy like a child

opening the kit and going through the contents. It’s so much fun.

This box is packed of yummy art supplies, but most of all you get some amazing contents!

There will be four projects in each kit. You will receive access to videos on the website with

step-by-step instructions on top of all the Instruction Cards that you can already find inside

the box.

This is truly brilliant! I just love the whole concept!

I also love how easy to follow along the instructions provided. It didn’t feel intimidating at all. I

created a video for you to enjoy and watch me create a project from beginning ’til the end

with this fun art kit from Let’s Make Art!

Little Kiddie Cart Makeover with MyColorShot

Did you ever started a project where in the middle you start questioning yourself why you started in the first place? Hahahaha! This was IT for me. This was THE project!

In the middle of prepping and spraying, I started questioning my decision. LOL!

My daughter Raine is obsessed with Squishmallows and she wanted us to find a fun stroller for them. We found this Little Tyke ice cream truck that we weren’t super thrilled about, but we knew we can fix it and do a little makeover. We wanted to create a hippie van look so this is what we came up with. I used some MyColorShot Spray Paint and their paint pens too! The spraying was easy, but the prepping always takes the longest. These Spray Paints are Prime & Paint and that truly saves a lot of time.

You can watch the process video below. Please let me know what you think. Have you ever tried making a big spray project like this? How did it go?

Please don’t forget to check out my blog post sponsor for today.

I cannot wait to start playing with the new SMART materials. I’ve had a small taste of how awesome these are when I used them with my Cricut joy! It was such a delight not to worry about mats that are not sticking well. You just load the smart materials, and get on with the cutting. T’was nice!

Here were some of my older projects I created last year! I seriously cannot wait to get started working on Halloween and Holiday projects again! And you bet I will share it with you guys!

If you have any request for future projects let me know in the comments. Or if you need any help with your cricut, ask away. I’ll try to have the answers for you to the best of my knowledge. Hehehe.

Have a wonderful week ahead my friends!

LOVE,

Happy Monday! | Back To School Blibber-Blubbers!

Can you believe it’s almost “Back to school” time? Raine & I are both super excited. Even though she will still be doing virtual this year, that is not going to stop us from the excitement of shopping and creating DIY projects for the next school year. She is going to 6th grade? Like what? mind blown! I still cannot believe it.

Truly time flies. Every day, her “likes & Dislikes” are constantly changing, and we are definitely entering the “tween” stage. Finding projects that will keep her entertained and away from her phone is a MUST. Kids nowadays have very short attention span, and that’s why doing things that she loves and something that she’s interested about is very important to me.

We both enjoy crafting & creating together. It’s our “bonding” moment, and I cherish it every single time.

How about you? Do you have children? What are your favorite activities and projects to do? I am on a hunt of new things to create with Raine. So any suggestion is welcome.

Tie-Dye is something we both enjoy. We create the base for our shirts or any fabric with tie dye, and then we use our cricut to add more embellishments and cuteness. This keeps us busy. We also like to make our own jewelries. I have a bunch posted in my Amazon Store for some of our favorites. Which reminds me, I really have to fix my category listing for that. (Putting it out there ya know?)

We want to try Polymer Clay and Resins next. However it is my daughter Jazzle that is so good at making cute things with clay. So we’ll have to do that with her very soon when she comes home and visit.

I also want to invite you to another fun class this week with Faber-Castell and Michael’s. Kawaii Back To School doodling class is a free Zoom event. You just have to register and you will receive the invite link from Michael’s

This is happening on August 6, 2021 @ 2pm C.S.T. Please register and let’s have a fun hour of learning and creating together. I shall see you in the classroom!!! :)

Lastly, our brand new AUGUST Print & Play is Now Available! This collection is seriously super adorable!!!! You are not gonna want to miss this! I’ve included the silhouette files, so all you gotta do is load in the Silhouette Studio and Print & Cut your stickers. If you still need help with your CRICUT or SILHOUETTE please do watch my tutorial videos. And now, that I finally have the office all set up’; I am ready to create more YouTube videos for all of you. Send me a project request so I can add it to my line up, okay?

Have a blessed week everyone!!! Please be well, stay well & take care of yourselves!

LOVE,

LHEY

Hello Loves, I placed an order from Archer & Olive and i’m really excited to share with you this unboxing. Everything in my order is so darling and I’m happy with everything I received. So I joined their affiliate program and I now have a code to share with you. You may use “mommylhey10” to save you 10% off your purchase, please know that some restrictions may apply.

Since this order I’ve already placed two new orders. I purchased more sets of their acrylograph pens, and I will do a review for all of you very soon. I also subscribed to their Stationery Box. It’s not monthly, it’s a quarterly bo which is great because Lord knows I don’t need a new notebook every month. I am already drowning from all my journals in my craft room, lol! But I just love stationeries and flipping through my journals and notebook really makes me happy.

So here’s the video of my unboxing! Enjoy & please let me know what you guys think.

DIY Holiday Decorations made with Cricut

Ho-Ho-Ho!!! Happy Holidays Everyone!

Sometimes I feel excited for the upcoming holiday season and at times it also makes me sad.

Hopefully i’m not the only one! This year is definitely a challenging one not just here in the US but the whole world is dealing with a pandemic.

We can just keep praying and stay hopeful.

I, myself will do everything I can to keep the Christmas spirit in our house! My goal is to deck out the whole house for Christmas! It is my favorite holiday and my kiddos too!

So we will be quite busy in the next couple of days - just decorating and making memories! I am grateful for

Cricut - The Official Page!

for making decorating this year stress free.

We as a family are being careful and choosing not to go outside other than getting and doing the essentials. So this is where my cutting machine comes in handy.

I will be creating lots of DIY decors and handmade presents as well!

So if you need some ideas and some inspiration. I am sharing some projects in my newest YouTube video. I hope it’ll inspire to create some MAGIC this Holiday Season!

You can watch the video here:

Also, last night I was playing with my planner and my Cricut and created this pretty A5 Size Star Dashboard.

I want to share them with all of you - hopefully you’ll love it and create something fun too!
