so sorry for your loss...

 Hej again - long time and no post.

I had to make sad cards lately -  two old friends past away and now a neighbor.

I know that death belongs to life, but still... always so sad to say goodbye.

I have to think and remind myself that death can be a relief as well.

A collage (with a cow from Zillertal, Austria)

Soo tired of fake news  - not beeing able to belive in what I thought would be facts. 

What happend to morality and reability?

I made this collage thinking of our friend ,Günther, who sadly passed away yesterday. He was one of the first persons in Vienna who made me feel at home when I moved there 31(!!!) years ago. A good man.

A man to remember with a smile in our eyes. The cow is from Zillertal in Austria and I think he would have a smile in his eyes if he could see it.

I get the feeling that my Christmas cards this year will be more pink than red.

Having fun!

Gummiapan dies and stamps :)

A couple of years ago I met Gummiapan (rubbermonkey) at a trade fair in Germany. I like the quirky style.

Now I have been told that they make advent calendar loaded with dies - how cool is that ?

Of course I had to find my "old" box and put a card together.

Autumn will arrive pretty soon with its wonderful colours and loads of goodies to find in the forest.

So here we go - a card made with products from Gummiapan and with this card I join the wednesdaychallenge at Simon says stamp.

Tree hanger Christmas -22

 

... dachshund through the snow, in a one-hourse open sleigh...

My little tree hanger for Christmas 2022.

This year has not been the best for our family. We hope for a better year coming up pretty soon.

I do love Kate Crane and her style creating cool stuff for  Carabelle studio so I simply stole her idea making "cards " this year.

Wishing you all the VERY, VERY best for the coming year!

Saving the colours of late summer in a tag-book

 

My first pages in my new booklet - this time made out of tags. The base is either gelli print on card or on canvas. I decorate each "page" with different material I find -  or create  - fitting the color scheme .

I `m already looking forward to filling and creating the next page!

Take care out there!

#fillatinyjournal polka dots

 

This week iHanna asks for polka dots.

This spread is made with distress inks, lyrics from on old swedish song, poscapens and a "sticker" from Old Memory, Vintage Lady collection. I thought that this lady here, wearing a polka dot blouse, must be perfect for the challenge.

Stay safe!
