Receipts Organizer In Progress

Here are a few more pics of my Indie Business Receipt Organizer. Now I'll have to make a decision about the cover and I'll be set.

Creative Weekend

This was another creative weekend. First of all I've made a Receipts Organizer for my Indie Business Class 2.0. I've took a plain accordion folder and glued a pretty paper and some ribbon to make it look prettier. I haven't quite finished it yet, I need to decide what the cover will be and edit the tags on the front. Nevertheless, I like it already!

I had this pretty paper.

I applied an extra layer of glue on top to give it some strenght.

Isn't it beautiful?

My other creation was a birthday present for my friend Kate. It's a candle holder of some sort, made out of old cds and scented dried flowers and fruits.

The Birthday Card

And the Birthday Package.

So, how was your weekend?
Have you any creation of yours to show me?

I'd be happy to see them if you leave me a link
on the comments below.

Have a nice day!

YAY For Online Classes!

I'm so excited about RVA Online Classes! I should have started registering a long time ago. I've missed so many interesting projects. In the Indie Business 2.0 Class now I'm learning so much, but most of all I'm getting to know new interesting people and see a lot of creative styles. It's so inspiring and motivating! Makes me want to try harder and expand my creativity. I LOVE IT! So, I've decided from now on to "invest" my money on Classes like that. It's the only "luxury" that I permit to myself these days.

My next challenge for this month will be a brand new online class, Tell Your Story, hosted by Elsie and Rachel.

It's a six week art journal class. Elsie and Rachel will share a personal art journal page with a challenge or fun technique each day.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I've always wanted to experiment  with scrapbooking and make an art journal, and now is my chance to do it with the inspiration and guidance of these two incredible talented ladies. I've tried some things from time to time, but it would be so much better to have a guide through all this. After all Elsie & Rachel have A LOT of experience on this field. (some of Elsie's creations Scrapbooking and D.I.Y. Projects. Also Rachel's Art Journals and Scrapbooking).

All this is like a phychotherapy for me. When I'm creating I keep my mind away from all the bad thoughts. And for a while I've stopped doing it and this has made me unhappy. So, no more unhappy days. I feel good even with just seeing others' work (check out the Red Velvet Art group on Flickr with photos of many inspiring projects) and  I think this will keep me motivated. I can't wait for this Class to start! (even if I have a lot of unfinished projects from the last class...) - I think I'm a BAD STUDENT! :-(
