Photography, paintings, and all things beautiful to me...

So I don't know about you...but on my free time, I google vintage pictures, paintings, fashion, and creative things I can re-create. Whether it be taking the inspiration and applying it to my room (which has been a project underway for WAY too long now), or creating a new collage for my room, or even thinking of how I may want my wedding invitations to look (yes...i'm that girl !) I just love fashion photography, everything about it, the art, the fashion, the makeup, the hair...I just LOVE it all. Not to mention I am kind of obsessed with all things Paris. I'm thinking of turning my black, white, and pink vintage room, into a Paris & Vogue inspired fashion get-a-way :) Some things you may not know about me... I'm entirely obsessed with makeup (why I'm not a makeup artist? who knows!) &  I just love Color Splash on HGTV. I also watch wedding cake shows any free time I can get (I also want to own a bakery)! Like I said....I just love ALL things creative :)....Here are some pictures of paintings, pictures, or room designs that I draw my inspiration from...

Got to love this Paris Vintage inspired collage..

I just LOVE this vintage/antique room with the beautiful collage of frames and antique table, not to mention the stunning wallpaper..and I love how they mixed it with some modern design of the striped wallpaper in the back and modern chair...ohh so creative...:)


I created this collage with a bunch of pictures I found on the internet. I'm going to print it for my room :)

Isn't this adorable? Found it on http://redletterwords.typepad.com/ The only downfall is it's kind of pricey, so I'm thinking of just buying my own canvas, some big letters, and recreating it! I don't know what I'm going to do with all these things I'm creating since my room is very small! Guess I may have to give them away :)

I love this! So vintage...Could be a cute bookmark :)
 
Found this on a girl's blog (can't remember where!) and I fell in love with it. I have yet to figure out how to do this...

LOVE! Do you?
 
Love the painting's colors...

I SO want to try to paint these...so beautiful!

AND one final thing....

One of the coolest collages I've seen...

That's all for now!

Oh the beauty of arts & crafts...

So, this last week I've had a sudden erge to paint! Michaels has become my new bff. I went the other day and bought a bunch of scrapbook paper. I figured I could use it for something! So, I created a few collages for my best girlfriends for Christmas, with some photos of us, and put it in a nice black frame. Got a pack of 4 8x10 frames for $20 & a pack of 3 canvases for only $3! Bought some paint brushes, which was must needed...and some paint colors to get me started! && Bought myself a wooden "L" to decorate for my room :) Here's some of the stuff I've created...

Ready to get started!

Loved this paper...

Got to love Paris paper!

Decided to use some lyrics from one of my favorite songs by The Hank Murphy Band. Took the letters I bought, painted the back and pressed them on! Took a little time retouching everything, but I think it turned out pretty good :) Added some pink sparkle paint on top of the black to add some pizazz!

Got this idea from http://michaelanoelledesigns.blogspot.com/ Check out her blog :)


(Kinda hard to see with the glare) but I took one of the frames I bought, along with the paper and scrapbook letters, and put the words to one of my favorite songs "Que Sera Sera" :) I also put in an eiffle tower ornament one of my good friends got me for x-mas!


AND one more thing....
for all those sharks fans out there, this is for you!

Painted this for my brother (the BIGGEST sharks fan) for his room :)


Had my mom (the most amazing artist ever) draw the logo for me...

&& then I finished painting it with absolute precision...


Got to love painting, so relaxing && oh so therapeutic...

That's all for today!
