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 heart for my daughter❤️

 "Just" a heart for Emilie.

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.

Hannas DIY Postcard Swap Autumn 2026

 Some years ago I joined  iHannas postcardswap and this year I decided to do so once again.

 

My postcards are ready to be sent and I hope someone will be happy to recieve one. 

It is nice to get an oldfashioned postcard in the letterbox...

I had fun making them and now I`m looking forward to get 10 handmade postcards in MY letterbox!

less stress - positiv and grateful!

 MANY years ago, we (Jaine and I) went to a weekend with different workshops arranged by "ScrapbookWerkstatt" in Germany.

One of the nice people we met there was Amy Tangerine, who held a workshop using her own booklet and papers. Looking through my stash I found it again and decided to fill out the missing pages.

This is todays page - totally happy and looking ahead. 

It is a wonderful feeling when it looks good using "old" stuff. 

Made my day!

a book mark for Simon Say Stamp

 A book mark for the monday challenge A book mark/getting inspired by a book at Simon Says Stamp. 

For me , kind of getting back to basic with the colours. Still love this combination -old paper, red and black.😊

...and look what I found - the VERY BEST stamp ever  "I WAS HERE"! Do you still remember that polish company making the groviest stamps, papers and stencils ? Sodalicious. Sad that the company doesn`t exist anymore...

Wishing you many hours reading great books!

The sun is getting stronger ☀.

 How very true!

Still so pale and far away - our important sun is gathering strength and coming towards us.

I `m longing for a nice tea outside , letting the sun "lick" my face , giving me power and vitamin D.

Warm hugs!

Loneliness

Using SODAlicous products (stencil, paper, stamps) I finished my entry to SODAlicious' 30th art journal challenge about loneliness. Weird pink, but why not...? Love their wodden stencils - the smell of wood has always been one of my favorites!

Take care out there!

SIMPLICITY for SODAlicious

Very late, and maybe even toooo late...but anyway....

I'm filling the pages in my selfmade SODAlicious journal booklet. This spread is called "simplicity" and is my entry to SODAlious no 27 art journal challenge.

Freezing in my basement - will the summer ever arrive this year?

Brrrrrr...

Destiny for SODAlicious

Hope you like it!

the letter M(e) for the craft barn

This is my page for the new challenge over at the craft barn.
This time we should use the letter M and I chose the word "measure".
The background is layered acrylics and the stamps cherry pie art stamps, inkado, creavil, denim and infocrea. Otherwise I used felt letters and a lot of different washi tapes.

Have a nice wednesday everybody!

NATURE for stampotique

I made this tag to join the challenge at Stampotique designers challenge. The theme is nature.

Right now our beautiful country Luxemburg is grey and humid. I look forward to the first snow. Can you smell when the first snow is about to fall? I love the clean, white landscape when all the old leaves and the dirt is covered.

I used only stampotique stamps and die cuts from sizzix.

...can you smell the silence..?
