To the best son ever!

  Groovy style, I know... I can't help myself but loving this art☺️.

Daniel Torrentes stamps follow me wherever I go - this one is called "kopf". 

Our son just turned 36 (!) and he likes weird things too, so this one is for him.

Nothing is life is perfect - me neither, neither my craft , nore my art - I like what I'm doing - enjoying the process. 

A friend of mine, Katherine, makes these wonderful, PERFECT cards. Have a look and get excited!

Happy birthday, dear Oliver!

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!

spotlightning - SDC no 172

Do we have to love or hate the distressed look ? Maybe at some times we think that the distressed look is a little bit to much, but hey,  ho,  like the french would say " - affaire des goût" ( a matter of taste ).

I just know that when I saw that stencil it was a MUST HAVE. And I DO think that it goes well with the bees - I have to say - today I LOVE distressed!!!

This is my latest card - thinking about one of my lovely daughters. " Just 4 U".

The only stamp involved here is the no 3000 by Jo Capper Sandon.  The rest is stencil work, modelling paste, distress inks, sodalicious letters and my good old sewing machine...(!).

Sooo, with this card I hereby enter the latest challenge at Stampotique Designers Challenge ( no 172).

Love to you all.

ASOI colour challenge

Being me=loving colours, I couldn`t resist the latest challenge at ASOI, using colours like irish cream, rich ruby, seafoam green, deep cobalt and steel blue.

I amused myself using scraps from Maja Design, stamps from Unity stamp company ( Christy Tomlinson) , Sodalicious and de Stempelwinkel ( cherrypieartstamp). A very nice challenge!

The sun still licks our faces here in the Grand Duchy - let `s see what the weekend brings...!

Hope you like this journal page!

my mountain page for Craft barn

Woopsi - suddenly the 2 weeks disappeared !
This is my entry to craft barns Q&L challenge - this time with the word mountain.

I used a lot of stamps on this one and I`m trying to get out of my comfort zone by using different colours...

" Life will test you, but remember this, when you walk up a mountain your legs get stronger..."

See you again - maybe tomorrow!

Superstition for SODAlicious

a Journal Page for ASOI

Hello again!
I sure had trouble with this one! LOVE the colour combo but where could I find the right ones...?

I ended up searching and looking through washi tapes, old papers, embellishmets and, and, and...

In the end I was happy with the page - stunned by that great posca pen - amazed how easy it was to write with it on black gesso ( I can`t remember how many black pens I`ve damaged by writing on white gesso!)

The colours are this months combo for the colour challenge at ASOI ( a sprinkle of imagination) , using ink black, sand, vivid green, slate blue and pale grey.

Hope you like it!

a tag for Craft Stamper

I haven`t made a tag in a long time and I felt like joining the challenge at the Craft Stamper Magazine. Tomorrow is the very last day for their 7th challenge...

I used stamps from the french company TampoManiak, distress inks, a sodalicious frame and a stencil from Ronda Palazzari.

The photo might not be the very best, but what can I do? It`s difficult to make a nice pic when the weather is like it was today -  dull and dark...

Take care out there!

My ombre page for the Craft Stamper

I was the lucky winner of the splatter technique, "take it, make it" challenge, in the craft stamper.

This month I don`t join the challenge, but I finished my ombrè page journal style.

I embossed the background with a sizzix embossing plate and then coloured the pages with distress inks. The stamps used are from Christy Tomlinson, Stampotique and Sodalicious.

The qoute  - " it`s important to make someone happy. Start with yourself. Today." Very important!

I wish you all a nice weekend and I hope you like my page!

my calendar 2014

I`m using big cards , I cover them with gesso and let me get inspired month by month.
This is the cover and I try to get out of my comfort zone, using different colors than I normally would.
It makes me happy - trying new, new, new things ...

This front page is a SODA page - using mostly their products.

What will I use for January...?
