SKYNDA LANGSAMT...

 

A journal page for my mum - skynda langsamt = hurry slowly.

Hurrying around to please others and to prove that she still can do things.. just like my grandma.

Instead it is better to "touch a few" and let them " touch" you to .

Take care out there!

#fillatinyjournal "connection"

 

My take on the challenge #fillatinyjournal. This week the theme at iHanna is Connection.

Somehow I believe and feel that we are all conneted...

Here, I used the wonderful stamps from  Stampotique , designed by Olivia Thomas, Magda Polakow , Jill Penney and Daniel Torrente.

Take care, out there - and stay connected!

Letting go and looking forward .

I haven`t made a journal page in a long time and I really enjoyed building this one together.

A new year, full of hope and adventure!

I used old AND new stuff and will hereby enter the AJJ monthly theme " new year , new adventure" as well as the SSS weekly theme " use something new".

Best wishes for 2018!

a weekend travel journal

Last weekend my husband took me to the belgium coast - just like that - for no reason.
We had a lovely time, spending hours on the beach in the frosty sun.
Our favorite restaurant in Blankenberge is called STARCKX and of course our meal there was excellent as always.
When we go there, we go by train. It is a nice way to travel through Belgium. - no stress and lots of time to talk, read or be crafty.
On the way back I put this little journal together while my husband read his book. I even finished it !

I used many of my "old" stamps ( still favorites ) and in the end I was pleased with the outcome.

Wish you all a nice end of October with a lot of sun, orange leaves and a hot pumpkin soup!

CAS for the Artful Times

Being scared of the future - feeling insecure by not knowing what comes next...?

Our son now has to decide what to do with his life, our eldest daughter is in the same situation and our youngest daughter is about to change school to change her education...! All these worries.

See the changes as opportunities instead  - it is easy to say, I know, but I do wish all those youngsters out there the very, very best !

This is the card I made for Artful times where the theme is CAS (clean and simple).

The little bird is NOT the latest Dina Wakley one - I found it in a little shop in Flensburg 2 weeks ago and of course I fell in love. No brand - just beautiful...

( I painted a glossy card with panpastels, then cut it to fit the size of the card. The bird was stamped on watercolor paper and painted with neocolors. The splatter is drawing ink - just to keep it all together..)

Happy Saturday !

my letter G for the craft barn

Hello again!
Finally I'm back to join the challenge again - this time the letter G, and I used the word geometry. Maybe not my favorite class in school, but now I love those shapes.
So this is my journal page for the dictionary challenge at the craft barn.

Good fun!
