The new KOCH - couple

Not the best photo, but at least it shows that I actually have been doing something lately ...

Our son got married yesterday and I do wish him and his bride the very best for their future!

playing around...

...a card for a friend, who loves the sea.

I wanted to use my new, cool Carabelle Studio stamp and instead of using it as a "normal" flower stamp , I imagined it to be in the sea.
Other products ; distress ink, posca pen, distress crayon, kesi art stamp and WOW embossing powder.

SSS monday challenge - we can see clearly!

Using the lovely ranunculus field stamp from Stampendous, I made this tag for the latest Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
The theme is " we can see clearly", so we should use acetate, vellum ...
I used an old acetate screen print on top of the painted flowers. The flowers were colored with distress crayons.

..." today is a good day to have a good day..."

Simple , but ...

Easter fun...

recycling for SSS challenge

For this recycled project I used the Hello Winter collection from Echo park  to cover my base from empty toilet rolls. The stamps I used are from technique tuesday and some other nice companies from Germany and Sweden.

My idea was to keep the vegan recipes for hot drinks in a booklet like this. It is easy to ad more toilet rolls and put more recipes inside...

Sooo - this is my entry to the latest Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge , with the theme " recycle / upcycle style ".

Hope you like it!

... and YES, I did it!

I survived 30 days vegan living and I enjoyed every minute! Here are some pages I made in my "challenge book"

Collected bits and pieces with a gorgeous stampotique stamp.

More bits , some from my beloved "FLOW" magazine-

Collected new recipes .

Lovely paper from Echo parks " Hello winter".

 I will continue this life style. Feeling great!!!

Hortense

Just want to show you a nice idea from work - ;
Whenever a colleague stops, we make a scrap book . Everybody makes one page , writing wishes for the person leaving and puts together like a small collage out of photos and stickers. It is very exciting each time to see what ideas people bring.
This is the front page of book 1 - for Hortense, who worked with us from 2003 till 2016.
The stamp is a lovely angel from gummiapan and the background is random water colour splatter .

TWO for SDC no 229

This week Stampotique`s challenge is all about TWO .

My journal page is quit simlpe , I used the dog cube together with my chocolate stamps from Lora Bailora (dying for chocolate).

Maybe I chose these stamps because I really AM dying for chocolate right now - have you ever tried vegan chocolate? I promise - it is NO fun.

Tomorrow my 30 days vegan will be over... I believe that I will continue though... I feel FINE, FIT and... HAPPY!

I just have to find some nice chocolate to eat - I can NOT imagine a life without it!

Wishing you all a nice last day of January -16!
