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

altered christmas bottle for de Stempelwinkel

I love to alter bottles. First you have the joy of drinking and then the joy of altering the bottle :)


Here´s a little sneek peak,

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!

christmas tags

I guess I am inbetween a lot of different art directions - sweet, steampunk, mixed media and grunch - and playing with tags for de Stempelwinkel it shows

Have a great day

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

I hope you do not get bored by the use of my many backgrounds....
This time I finally took the time to start a first try with my Pam Carriker face stencil - shading is really not that simple and even harder on a coloured background...but with so many backgrounds left - LOL

Stamps from de Stempelwinkel.

Have a great and joyful weekend - you might like to enjoy you christmas shopping as I do - ONLINE!!!

Sailing to Halloween land

I am not really a big Origami fan - love the results but hate to follow instructions - but I loved the boat I found on the Internet and thought that would be great for a Halloween project for de Stempelwinkel:

More pics and a link to the boat can be found here:

Thank you all for your getting-well wishes - I am very grateful. Hope they work soon :)


A big hug

Halloween shadow box

Dear Friends,

a very unnerving tonsillitis with fiebre is currently "torturing" me, so I am a little bit late with my Halloween poste for de Stempelwinkel.

Base is a Sizzix die

In case you want to see the whole box or get more Halloween spiration...

Sorry I am still not much around but Sarah and I have caught a severe cold using up all of our energy.

I kind of altered some packing paper from the present for my daughter and while doing so I thought this would be a great fit for the following challanges:

just a little share of 2 journaling pages

For me crafting is the best medicine against too much stress and so I finally took the time to do some journaling - and as always it helped

By the way, all stamps used on the 2 pages are from de Stempelwinkel

Wishing you all a very happy Eastern!

create memories - another sample for de Stempelwinkel

If Susi is right and we create how or better said what we feel that day, it seems I am a vintage soul.
I used the Silke-stamp and some newer stamps from the Hardware finding plates and created a layout.
The hardware findings were stamped on foam that I preheated with my heatgun for more dimension.

Have a great day

still playing

Today I had some more new stamps from Jetske in my postbox, and here´s what I did playing some more

more to come :)

eye vision - another sample for de Stempelwinkel

Just a quick share of another sample I made today, using the fab new eye stamp and practising a little bit of doodeling.

quite a vintage feel, looking at it right now.

two more samples for de stempelwinkel

Oh my God, what kind of slowly crafter am I right now, nevertheless I want to share with you my newest samples


Welcome to the Wild West

I stamped the cogs in hot wax and went over it with a metallic wax.

This one is my fav of the two - what do you think?

some samples for de Stempelwinkel

The only good thing of being ill is that it gives you a little bit more time for crafting - when you are not sleeping at the couch feeling totally exhausted.
Jetkse thought the best cure would be a sniff of rubber and so I played with some of the new stamps which I really love - but see for yourself (live at CREATIVA craft show)
