the word CHANGE for the Q&L challenge

Another page for the Quote & Lyric Challenge at the Craft Barn.
I chose the word CHANGE and I sure had a lot of fun with all the colours and stamps.

I hope you like it!

My Donna Downey mixed media album

I finally finished this mixed media album and filled it with photos from my parents big party in may this year. They celebrated 200 years ( my mother soon gets 75, my father just turned 75 and they have been married  50 years = 200!) Last year in october my friend Jaine and I went to the mega event at scrapbookwerkstatt 2013 where we were lucky to have workshops with Donna Downey, Amy Tangerine, Felicitas Klink, Stephanie Berger and Janna Werner. This mini album is signed by DD, believe it or not! A great workshop and a lot of fun - and now finally I can show some pictures of the result:-)

Trying to keep the rustic look - enjoying the craft paper, the texture and this beautiful picture.

Stencil, distressed ink, Hero art stamp, wooden cogs (my father is a very handy man...), paper from Glitz design (yours truly).

Still playing with the Glitz design papers - otherwise using the banner from sizzix and other embellishments given in the kit from Donna Downey.

Playing with stencils and  Dylusion spray inks.

Washi tape, sizzix dies, denim stamps (France), Reprint stamps (Sweden). 

 

 

Very soon , I will meet my parents and hand over this memory book. Vintage is not really my style, but I sure enjoyed putting this together.

Happy 200 years, mamma och pappa!

"Stoff" für Creavil

I made this canvas a couple of month ago and I do like it a lot...
It was made at a workshop in Luxemburg with Nathalie Kalbach. I tried to follow her ways of "doing it" and I used the lovely foam stamps from Donna Downey. As I still haven't shown it here on my blog, I thought I could use the canvas as an entry to Creavils fortnightly challenge - this time STOFF=fabric. Where 's the fabric somebody might ask ... check the background...!

Wish you all a lovely weekend!

A Special Moment for AJJ

Finally, I was able to finish these pages for Art Journal Journey's monthly challenge - for march the theme is "special moments".

There are so many moments in life called special, and I really found it hard /difficult to decide the "right" special moment to use. But as I'm still very excited about the weekend with Nathalie Kalbach here in Luxemburg, I thought I could use that memory as a special moment...

The background is a "credit card make" and later covered with Donna Downeys "poppie foam stamp" .
Other stamps used;
Dina Wakley, PaperArtsy, Scrapbook Werkstatt and Sizzix.

The words are memories from that weekend.

Love to you all!

What is art?

You can find a lot of smart and different quotes and sayings about art on the net, like on Pinterest.
For me though, art is, when the brain stops and the soul takes over. When you feel for something without beeing able to say why...

This is my entry to this weeks challenge at Take a word, where the theme is "ART and what it means to you".

I used my favorite stamps from Dina Wakley, Cherry Pie Art stamps, PaperArtsy, Prima Marketing (Donna Downey), Infocrea and Denim.

I wish you all a very, happy friday!
