cruising through summer vacation collection tray

The artist printers tray combined with the new mykonos collection were perfect for organizing my photos and trinkets from one of last summer’s journeys.  I love the way the bright colors capture the beautiful blues, greens and vivid splashes of red that I associate with this adventure. 

the sweet life journal

Whenever I journey through different parts of the world, I find myself collecting bit and baubles from every place I visit.  I enjoy taking a small piece of the places I’ve visited home with me as evidence of where I’ve been.  This journal is filled with a lot of detail but don’t let that keep you from trying on of your own.  Simply start by binding the mykonos book cover and journal pages together with the binderie punch and binding rings.  That will give you an instant album to start with.  I finished off mine by adding the brightly colored gypsy envelopes and then filled it lots of detail with my favorite embellishments.  It’s was one of the funnest vacation journals I’ve made!


Happiness is…12×12 layout

What I love most about this layout is the juxtaposition of collage and art journaling against bright colors and heavy patterns.  Most often, when I think collage I go for vintage, nostalgic finds in muted colors.  I enjoyed working with the mykonos collection to pull this together because it is playful and fun and works so well with vacation and sunny day photos.  I didn’t expect something like this from 7gypsies, but I am thrilled that they delivered!

sun=fun! acrylic album

I’ve had this acrylic album in my gypsy stash for a few months now.  I wasn’t really sure how to embellish it but also play up the transparent acrylic~ until I saw the mykonos collection.  I knew that the summery, ocean inspired colors would work against the clear acrylic.  The combination reminded me of water, cruising, trips to the beach, sailing on the ocean… you get the idea.  I wanted to use the acrylic to create layers of dimension so that you could look all the way through the book to the very last page.  One of the funnest aspects of acrylic is that you can create a lot of layers by adhering things to the top and back surface of each page for extra ooomph.  This is something you’ve gotta try!

be true…a drawer of daily of inspirations

Lately I’ve been experimenting with watercolors.  It’s been a fun process with lots of mixed results!  I’ve been cutting down my watercolors to make cards that fit in my library drawer.  Each day I pull a card and write an inspiration or affirmation to a card. I found that mykonos compliments the vivid colors that i’ve been drawn to paint with and have been the papers to add something fun to each card as I go. 




Sooooo, take a second to post your vote for your favorite Mykonos project, be sure to tell us why it inspires you and we’ll post the winners next week!  Happy posting gypsies!
