more calender pages

I hope you are not bored already, but I know the only way to really use it, is to have a lot of pages finish, so here´s week 10-12


Having fun and more destashing of papers and vintage cut outs (Oh my God, I am just a horder)


the sentiment was stamped with Dylusions.


Stamps used: Carabelle

Have a stressless day

in the woods

Having fun and being inspired by Susi and Youtube I tried my luck as well with doing the trees. The background was a clean-up of my gelli-plate. Embellished with de Stempelwinkel-stamps and a digi images of paperwhimsy.



Have a great day

calendar 2015

I am still reorganising my craft space and found my book of calender pages. I was thinking about taking the calendar pages off and use the then empty book for something else. But going through the pages I had done, I just could not do it.
And kind of an early new year resolution I started to make new pages for 2015 and using these pages to destash and using dies I had rarely used so far.
Knowing me, the only way to write in that journal is at the end of the day. So far I am at week 15 with the plan, not having the book in  my craft room, but next to my bed. That way there´s at least the chance I really do journal in the book.

Week 1 and 2 are the last pages I had already showed, reusing these as the were still empty. So today I want to show you week 3-6.


stamps used: de stempelwinkel, Kaisercraft, Tim Holtz


I used the framelit tree dies by S. Barnard to make my trees. Stamps used: Design by Ryan, de Stempelwinkel. The rest is a paper napkin.



Stamps: quote (Kaisercraft); headings (100 proof press, de Stempelwinkel)
die: Diamond die



I hope you all had a beautiful christmas eve and are now enjoying all your presents. Have a wonderful holiday time.

follow your passion

Having had a sketch in my sketch book I really did not like - I guess we all know that - I used gesso and a napkin to change the scene and here´s the result


I just have know that 90g/m2 paper is not really the best choice working with different media. The book looks .........

Have a great 4th Advent

creative life

I hope you are not already bored to death from my whimsical muse. But lately, being banned from my computer, I sketched and what you see here it coloring these sketches. I guess with christmas only days away we all enjoy the whimsical time of the year.....:)



Have a great day and don´t get stressed out!

weathering the greatest storms

Playing, sketching and more playing....




I am thinking about using Flickr, facebook and pintoresque as my future means to showcase my artwork. Some of you I have already found in either one but not all.
But I do not want to miss your artwork. Can you tell me where to find you?

more playing

Loving the art of Mindy Lacefield I tried to follow her my way (ok, colouring has to be practised)




And organizing my craft space further - the only real good thing about limited access to my PC (I hope next week with a bigger WLAN and an WLAN enforcer I do not have to share my desk any longer....) I played a little with my new carabella stamps and one of those many backgrounds. The frames were a left over of a TH sticker sheet after all the stickers were gone and I thought it to be the perfect recycling :)
No rhyme or reason just having stamping fun. 


Wish you all a great 3. Advent.

XOXO

life is like a camera

At art-journal-journey the current topic is collage and as already said - having much too many backgrounds lying around, here we go



Have a great start into the next week

more bookmarks for christmas

And here we go with some more - just to prove you I have not been totally lazy :)



I plan to give them to my working collegues. Of course pink going to a lady, the green one going to a hobby airplane crafter and the yellow one to a collegue who - no matter the weather - makes a 40 min trip to work on his bike every day - twice a day.

Stamps used are from de Stempelwinkel, Artistic Outposte and Tim Holtz.

Off to make some more, XOXO

bookmarks

I refound some white bookmarks in my paperstash and thought these were great for additional christmas gifts. With the first 2 finished I show you my interpretation.
The cat one is for my mother for christmas (having 2 cats) and the other one was a Nikolaus gift for my daughter (loving all Japanese stuff at the moment). Some more are soon to follow, as the 3rd one is already drying.


Stamps used are from Stampendous (the cats) and Carabelle Studio

May you all have a great 2. Advent. XoXo
