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.

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

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.

Free Coloring Page | Mommy Lhey Christmas Girl
Enjoy the Freebie! :)
Hello Friends!
Hope you are all fantastic and in good spirits. I am doing well, my family and I are healthy and that alone is a wonderful gift to keep me grateful and happy every single day. Speaking of grateful, I am just feeling so ecstatic lately because of all the blessings that are coming my way. I have the best job. Working with Art Supplies everyday. I mean, I get to draw, try, use and review Art/Craft Products for a living. I cannot ask for anything better. My way of saying thank you and giving back to you and God is providing you with some free resources to use and enjoy. Like this little girl that I drew for a Video Project that I worked on today. I decided to turn her digitally so that we can all enjoy coloring her in and turning her alive with our favorite art mediums. I cannot wait to see your colored in pages. Please tag me on social media so that I can share on my Instagram Stories as well. I love showing off your creations with my audience too.
Also if you a re looking for a great Copic alternative. I heard that Blick Art has some Copic Dupes. I will order some for myself this Christmas (Treat ‘Yo Self Right?) I just recently signed up to become an affiliate for them because in all honesty, I feel like Amazon is taking all the business in the world. Lol.
I also like Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and Lastly the Tombow ABT Pro Alcohol Markers.
If you want something that will keep your colors vibrant for a very long time. Try my favorite Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens. They are Water-Based India Inks. They do not bleed, no foul smell, and they are light fast. It really is my Go-To for my Planners and Journal Pages.
For colored Pencils; if you like wax based Prisma Colored Pencils are great, if you want an Oil Based then Faber-Castell Polychromos are just simply amazing. But then, if you just want to have fun coloring and not worry about expensive supplies then good ‘ole crayola’s are fantastic!
Enjoy! And Have lots of fun!
Love,
LHEY

But anyways, here’s my newest Bullet Journal spread with the help of my Brand New Cricut Explore 3 that I am absolutely obsessed with. Have you tried the brand new smart materials? I used the Smart Cardstock here, Let me know what you think.
Cricut Explore Air 3
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.

Back To School Freebie Sticker
Free Back To School Stickers!
Hello Loves,
My kiddos are going back to school. Zy Man is freshman highschool!
Can you believe that? I can’t! My Baby Boy!!! Waaaaaah! And Raine will be in 6th Grade! My babies are growing up TOO Fast. I know I probably keep repeating myself, but guys, this is hard! Lol! Jazzle is already living by herself in her own apartment, she’s working, responsible and such a great kid! I am so proud of all my babies, it’s hard to think of them all grown up. My heart is already breaking into pieces by just the thought of it.
On a lighter and happy note. I created some fun stickers for Raine’s planner and I would like to share with some of you that might also be doing virtual this year. Zyon will be in person but Raine chose to stay at home and continue to do Virtual classes. Understandable though. Both of them cannot be more different. Such different personalities, likes and dislikes. And I am just glad that here in our area, we are still given the option to choose. I am grateful for our school boards, all the teachers that are constantly adjusting in our ever-changing world. I appreciate all of you teachers. Thank you for loving our kiddos at school and for being their 2nd parents. You are all so amazing! Thank you for all you do!
This sticker set is a .PNG transparent file. I also created a border around the image for ease of use for all my cricut user friends out there. This file is for personal use only! You may tag me on social media @mommylhey if you’d like. Not necessary but always appreciated.
For some basic questions that I get asked. I am currently enjoying my CRICUT explore 3 for my Print & Cut Paper projects. I also use Online Labels Matte Sticker Paper to create my stickers.
I hope you’ll enjoy the stickers. Please share this post with your friends so they can enjoy contents like this too! May your kids have a fantastic school year this year! May we all be well, safe & healthy always! Sending you guys some love! Take Care!

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

Crafty Storage Solution
Best Craft Room Storage Solution!
Hello My Lovelies,
I have recently shared on Instagram about this solution for my organization problems. Yay! We’ve moved to a new house and that means packing and unpacking is truly a nightmare for a (hoarder ) crafter like myself, lol!
So I bought some Clear bins from Hobby Lobby but they weren’t stackable so it was a “no-No” for me. I needed something that’s stackable so I can create my own tower with my supplies.
The calm before the storm hahaha! Wish I was this minimal. But Nope!
My search continued and it led me to Amazon of course, hehe. I am all about looking good and finding the best, but I was also searching for something affordable that will not break the bank.
This product right here was the solution I was looking for. It came in 4 and I can fill 4 rows of acrylic paint per shelf. It was the perfect answer.
This now goes to the left side of my office. Holds supplies more than I can ever imagined. For less that 20 bucks! This a win in my book! So, if you’ve been looking for a storage solution too, you might want to try this! I think you’ll love it and will end up buying more. Not just for your craft room, but perfect for any use inside your house too!

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.
