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.

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.
Have a wonderful week ahead my friends!

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

Archer & Olive Silent Unboxing
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.

Visual Journal 2020 | Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens
Let’s Create Some Visual Journals
Can you believe that it’s already 2021? My oh my!
A brand new year. A fresh Reset for you, I and the whole world. Brand new opportunities and new chances in life.
This year I chose 4 different types of Notebook/Journal that will serve as my companion and witness to my ever-evolving journey.
The first one that I want to share with you is my A5 Faber-Castell Notebook in Blush Pink. Oh, She’s pretty.
This will be my VISION JOURNAL.
A vision journal to me is something that I will use to gather all my thoughts together. A notebook I can write down everything. Quotes, and notes from books, podcasts, videos that I’d like to be reminded of every time I flip through this journal.
And Believe it or not, I filmed the initial set up of this notebook! Hooray! You may watch the relaxing video below
So what does your Planner/Journal line up for next year look like? I will be filming a video of all my planner line up and will share it with all of you very soon. But tell me, do you keep a Vision Journal too? Lemme know your thoughts about them down in the comments below! Have a beautiful day!
Love,
Lhey
Trying out Arrtx Gelly Gouache for The First Time
Arrtx Gelly Gouache
Hello Loves,
Many of you know how much I love to use Markers and Watercolors when it comes to my doodling and sketchbook. For the last couple of months i’ve been watching a lot of youtube videos about gouache. This is a new medium to me that i’ve been wanting to try for a very long time. I’ve always been a little intimidated to try it same goes with Acrylic paints. But I finally took the plunge and ordered myself a set from amazon.
I am made a YouTube video about my first impressions and what I think about it. I hope you’ll find it useful.
Lemme know your thoughts about this medium. Have you ever tried gouache before? Do you enjoy using them?
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
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!
