the finished scrap/junk book

 Some of the finished pages of the canadian booklet. 

A wonderful journey in a wonderful country with wonderful people.

I like to bind it all together, not using a "normal" book. I saved a lot of different items from the trip and then addad papers , stamps and washitape. I ´m happy*

Next project is sewing an advent calendar for our little grandchild - Greta.

Here we go - take care out there!

My canadian Junk Journal

 Back from wonderful Canada! We spent 3 weeks travelling from the east to the west with a group of people. Everything organized by german company called world-insight. Not the easiest way to travel - you move every day, living in different hotels and always move around with your suitcase. But this way it is possible to see A LOT and really get to know the country...

I promised myself I would make a junk journal with photos and collected "stuff" (tickets, maps...) .

So - this is the start. It will take me many days to finish it.

Take care out there!

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!

a layered tag

 ...couldn`t stop myself .

My crafty friend Katherine told me that she had made a card including 6 words for a paper challenge called time-out. There I was - inspired and I had loads of time!

I made this layered tag using stamps, tags, old scraps, washitapes and some stiching as well.

SO - I used the words " layer - heart - stich - food".

I had fun!

(have you tried the pears with a red touch? - delicious, I promise!)

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!

making new friends - ASOI and SDC 126

Another art journal page for the monthly color challenge at the ASOI. I thought it was pretty hard to find the vanilla end the mushroom colours, and I was very happy when I finally succeeded.Other colours included in the challenge: robins egg blue and golden green.


The words are a nice reminder of this weekend - my husband went to Africa earlier this year and there he met some lovely people from Köln (Cologne). He wanted to keep in contact with them and invited them over. In the end we sure had some lovely time together and I do understand why my husband wanted me to meet these people. So , this page is for Lisa, Grete and Holger - "NEW PEOPLE - ENLARGING MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS"...

...and because of the splatter and that lovely stampotique angel, I also enter the SDC challenge no 126 and hope that they like my splatter with the deep teal neocolorII and the distress stain!

I wish you all a nice start of the new week and hope to see you soon again!
