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!

The new quote & lyric challenge at the craft barn

New year - new challenges. I enjoyed joining the dictionary challenge last year and it is nice to have "something to keep you going" - to  keep thinking in a creative way.

Craft barn started a new challenge called quote & lyric - this fortnight the words are "smile" and/or "up".
So here we are - my journal page including a quote with the word "up".

I used gesso and modelling paste with different stencils. The colours are my beloved neocolorsII  - the stamps are from Paperartsy (wings - plate 4), Christy Tomlinson (CT-944A) and Traci Bautista (T1005).

In the end I embellished the page with some washitape to add some contrast. The quote is from an old book -  wake up and be awesome!

Hope you like it!

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 "waiting for spring" - book

  Front page/cover with a peek through window.

I started this book at our mixed media mini marathon with Mosaikscrappers  .
I really loved it from the beginning to the bitter sweet end...

Weight Loss 2013

This is the start of my smash project life - weight loss 2013.

The very lovely and talented Janna Werner started a Flickr group for all of those who would like to join her in loosing weight and scrapping at the same time. I felt that that could be a good start of the new year, so here we go... Maybe it will keep me going instead of just giving up after a while... Anyway, this is my first weekly page - I do this smash/art journal style - the way I like it!

I used stamps from Christy Tomlinson, SODAlicious and Stampotique "(how the heck did I get this fat").

The journal card is from Fancy Pants.

The photos are from the walks I've made with my dear husband this week, finally some sunshine again and the snow is just sooo beautiful!

Have fun out there!
