Special Guest Spotlight on Fairuz Fabiha

 Hello again everyone!  This month we have great pleasure to introduce you to Fairuz Fabiha, our March Guest Designer!

We invite you to browse through her blog and social media and get to know her better through her beautiful work.  I hope you enjoy her Carpe Diem inspired project and please leave her some love in the comments!

Hi! My name is Fairuz Fabiha and I’m 21 years old, a student of Architecture. I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

I’ve been crafting since I was a kid but from 2016, I got more involved and dedicated towards it. Now crafting has become an inseparable part of my life and I don’t plan on leaving it anytime soon! 

Throughout the years, I have tried different styles and techniques but in the end I found myself leaning more towards scrapbooking, card making and doing mixed media art.

My crafty nickname is ‘Craftivation’.

You can see more of Fairuz's amazing "Craftivation" by clicking on the links below.

Here's a reminder of our current Main Challenge:

Word Inspiration - CARPE DIEM

Creative Challenge - MARKMAKING

And now, let's enjoy Fairuz's interpretation of our challenge:

Fairuz:  ‘CARPE DIEM’ is a word which I can relate more with when I’m crafting or traveling. Whenever I’m free, in high spirits or feel like following my heart and making the best use of my time, you can either find me in a corner of my craft room crafting my heART out or you won’t find me at all as I’m out somewhere on a trip lol. This colorful layout perfectly represents that side of me. 

For the creative challenge, MARK-MAKING, I marked the border of the layout with some faux stitching and also scribbled around the focal point with my favorite black pen!

Here are some closer looks at Fairuz's project...

A huge THANK YOU to Fairuz for joining us as our 

Special Guest for March 2021!  Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us.

We hope that Fairuz's colourful layout inspires you to join us 

in our March Main Challenge.

Design Team Inspiration

OLYA RAGOZINA (CARDS)

Olya:  Hello, my darlings! My little girl is 6 years old. Together with her, we have created a collection of spring cards "Seize the moment"! With the captions: "Enjoy the moment", "Forever yours for always and evermore" and "Happy moment", because a birthday happens once a year and you need to enjoy this moment to the fullest! When you will be 6 more years old and you will have a carefree time.  Video tutorial in my youtube channel.

PRIYA MISHRA (TAG)

Priya:  My tag for SEIZE, March mini this month. I used old book pages in the background and some gear moulds. My quote is SEIZE the day...

ELLE WILSON (ATC)

Elle:  I used this quote from a song by Eminem called Sing for the Moment because it is one of my favourites and one of his best and this line is what I immediately thought of when I saw the word SEIZE.  Since the last word in the quote is golden I wanted the background to also be that colour, so I ended up using rainbow colours from this watercolour sample card to make a rainbow but not in strict rainbow colour order.

HEATHER MCMAHON  (POSTCARD)

Heather:  My quote is Seize the opportunity and I used papers from ArtStacks.

JINAL SAVLA (TAG)

Jinal:  Seize the opportunity! I wanted to try something steampunky for a while now.. and this was the exact opportunity I got and I literally seized this opportunity and made this steampunk tag 


KAT PALECZNY (CARD)

Kat:  My card, SEIZE the day for the mini challenge in March, I used flowers with ABStudio papers and stencil in the background.

LISA OXLEY (CARD)

Lisa:  I've adored this quote since reading it and also having a fascination with the moon and stars, I found it perfect for this challenge.  

SARAH DORGERE (TAG)

Sarah:  In life some doors open and others open. you have to know how to SEIZE these opportunities when they arise and especially at the right time. This is what I wanted to represent with this tag.  I used The Versailles Collection from ABstudio.

VIDHI JADEJA (TAG)

Vidhi:  ‘Seize the moments’ after all we all are defined by the moments we cherished in our life.  That is more important than anything else!

March 2021 Main Challenge 2nd Reveal - CARPE DIEM AND MARKMAKING

Welcome to the 2nd reveal of our March Main Challenge! This month we ask you to share what CARPE DIEM means to you and to add some MARKMAKING to your project.

As always, our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge. The word inspiration can appear on your project or not but you must show that you have been inspired by it. The creative challenge must be used on your project!

                    

Word Inspiration - CARPE DIEM

Creative Challenge - MARKMAKING

Helpful Tips For The Challenge

CARPE DIEM means "seize the day!" How do you or your friends or family make the most of life's opportunities? Does your child love school? Are you starting a new job? Maybe you're simply enjoying what life has to offer. 

For an extra challenge, add some MARKMAKING to your project. Add lines, doodles, or hand-drawn designs.

And now let's look at our second DT Inspiration for this month:

ANNA IWANOWSKA

Anna: For our CARPE DIEM challenge I decided to make an art journal entry with photos cut out from magazines. I was focusing on photos that made me smile, were full of colors, textures, that made me dream of fun, traveling and discovering new places! I also played a little with MARKMAKING, which in my opinion is the best way to add personal style to the page.

ASIA SZCZUROWSKA

Asia: I associated both the required elements of the challenge with fun in an art journal. I decided to vent my emotions, just have fun without thinking about whether the given colors and shapes fit together. In this project CARPE DIEM is also about using techniques that I am still learning. I captured the free moment and decided to use it for learning. In the project, I used a gelly plate and stencil from our sponsor AB Studio. When I was satisfied with the colors created with paints, I started MARKMAKING. I used acrylic markers and a hot foil pen, which helped me transfer the turquoise and purple foils from AB Studio into the paper.

AUDE DEMANNEVILLE

Aude: The word CARPE DIEM makes sense for me especially when creating art. I love life and it's a real invitation to enjoy the moment. Every word is important to me especially in these difficult times. I used the MARKMAKING because I love to use my large collection of sprays and wax.

DANA TATAR

Dana: I often wish I could carry the sun around on a string so that I could CARPE DIEM shining in bright light and warmth. It is definitely harder to get motivated on the darker days. I enjoyed MARKMAKING around the stenciled and stamped designs on these art journal pages.

EMMA ZAPPONE

Emma: Let's SEIZE THE DAY or CARPE DIEM in our lives and create days of creativity! This is my reality! For the MARKMAKING concept I have doodled a border around my pages and added scribbles to them. My pages feature Darkroom Door stamps.

HEIKES AUGENBLICK

Heikes: The month of March is my favorite month of the year. Not because it is my birthday month, but because it is World Women's Day on the 8th of March. The phrase CARPE DIEM is my honor to Mother Teresa. In my eyes she lived her life according to the words "CARPE DIEM." She sacrificed herself to the poor, sick and dying people. In it she saw the value of life, her personal "CARPE DIEM." The Mother Teresa image is from ScrapFX. I painted the word "CARPE DIEM" with black watercolor. For the creative challenge "MARKMAKING" I used Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 Pencils and Crayons for my "MARKMAKING" and as you can see I used the whole background, that was fun!

PRIYA MISHRA

Priya: The past year taught us how important it is to spend time with your dear ones, taking care of yourself and your health. Everyday is special and we should learn to make it beautiful in our own special way. This is what my layout shows too. For the word inspiration CARPE DIEM, I used the actual word in the background and a lot of quotes to complement it. For the creative inspiration, MARKMAKING, I created all background work with my black marker without any stamps or stencils. It's so much fun working on this project. I used watercolors too.

SHARON FRITCHMAN

Sharon: Our youngest daughter, Anne, has shown us from day one that she is able to overcome many obstacles to obtain her dreams. I took this photo during the fall of her high school senior year, and to me, it definitely illustrates how she loves to seize the day, aka CARPE DIEM! For the creative challenge, MARKMAKING, I marked my border with hand-drawn squares to draw your eye in to the photo. And to accentuate it more, I drew scallops around Anne's photo.

AGA MIRKOWSKA

Aga: CARPE DIEM means 'seize the day.' For me it means 'celebrate every single day.' Time flies quicker than we think, no one will wait for us and we need to work at our top speed. That’s why I decided to create these art journal pages with acting words (love, laugh, be brave, etc.). I used color glows by 13Arts to paint the circles and a black pen to do some MARKMAKING between them.

  

And now for some of those changes mentioned above. There will no longer be Runner Up, Random, or Mystery winners for our Main Challenge. This year we have changed to a Regional Prize structure, whereby there will be multiple Main Challenge Winners, one or more from each Region. The number of Winners/Prizes for each Region is dependent on the number of Sponsors for that Region. Some of our Sponsors remain as International Sponsors but many are now Region specific. It is now more important than ever that you add your NAME and COUNTRY to your Inlinkz entries!
