the last calendar card for the craft barn

Finally! I did it! ...and I loved it.
To be honest, it was difficult to keep going those last couple of weeks, but here we are!!!

This last card should have something embossed according to the theme at the craft barn.

I used one of Tim Holtz' christmas embossing folders and then colored my card with distress inks. On my doily I stamped two hearts(Panduro) and embossed with christmas red to add the right colour. The bakers twine is a symbol of christmas wrapping and the stickers are just details to show how much we all would like some frosty temperatures instead of this horrid rain...

So, ladies, this is my last calendar card - I sure enjoyed the challenges and I hope to join in again next year!

I wish you all a merry christmas and I hope to meet you again in 2013!

Take care our there!

Circles on my calendar card no 11

First of all - I'M SO SORRY for the bad photo. December is a "dark" month and we miss the light. Early afternoon and still no brightness. Just felt that I had to post it anyway, because tomorrow the next theme is due at the craft barn.

The theme this week was "circles".

I used my funky circles from Provocraft and I embossed the circles with an animal print from Cuttlebug and then coloured them with a distress ink.

Happy saturday!

Calendar challenge no 10

Here we go again...
I don't know what happened last week - SOOO much inspiration from all over and no urge to create myself...? I just couldn't be bothered.

But here we are - very late , but still. My 10th calendar card for the Craft Barn, where the challenge last week was "trees".
As usual, I used my Fancy Pants' calendar cards. The rest is a stamp from the swedish company Replay, some lovely "tree style" washi tape and a tree die from Tim Holtz.

Hope you all like it!

Calendar card no 9

And here it is - the 9th calendar card for the craft barn. This week the theme is a colour combination with white, teal and rust; I have to admit that my rusty colour is more orange than rusty, but I did add some barn door distress ink to get it more rusty...

The stamps are from unity stamp(brick wall), Kaiser Craft (checker plate), Felicitas Klink and Elles studio...

...and the little fellow in the heart is a "tin pin" from october afternoon.

Wish you all the best!

Calendar card no 7

This is my 7th calendar card for the craft barns weekly challenge. The theme this week is "candles" - difficult for me!

The only thing I could think of was my old "chandelier" - a sizzix die.

I used patterned paper, gesso, stamps from l'encre et l'images, a calendar card from fancy pants, some dotty ribbon and small stars.

Happy tuesday!

Calendar card no 6 - june.

The 6th card for the challenge at the craft barn.

I used patterned paper bits, gesso, calendar card, felt, dylusion spray inks and the cuttlebug (spooky fence+flower with heart and stem).

The weather here is grey, grey, grey and wet, wet, wet... not a nice monday! It can only get better!

Wish you a nice and crafty day!

Calendar card no 5 - may.

I have been busy in my basement - trying to finish the junk style mini album provided by Janna Werner and Felicitas Klink at the mega event in Germany a couple of weeks ago. It still isn't ready to show, but I'm working on it...

This is my calendar card with paper tape for the 5th challenge at the craft barn.


The background is made with gesso, panpastels, stamps from Felicitas Klink and different paper tapes.

My april calendar card.

This is my 4th calendar card for the craft barn. The theme was to doodle , and so I did.

... looking at the date, I just realize that today, 23 years ago, we moved from Austria to Luxemburg. Austrias national day today...

Great fun!

March , calendar card "yellow, white and green".

... and this is the 3rd and last one for today - The Craft Barns' calendar challenge 3 - march.

I'm using all my new stuff from the mega event at Scrapbook Werkstatt last weekend. I feel very lucky that I am able to use my left hand even though I have to keep my shoulder in one position. I don't feel much pain either...

Before the mega event and before going to hospital, I prepared some backgrounds so I could keep up with the different activities in the blog world. So great to have internet when I'm not allowed to leave the house!!!

Once more.... - happy Sunday!

Calendar 2013 for the craft barn - JANUARY

Some scrappers I admire more than others, and Laury 55 definitely is one of them. She uses the colors I like and the style is similar to mine as well (well, so I think anyway...:-)).

Checking her blog the other day, I found out that the Craft Barn is doing a calendar for 2013 right now.
I'm late joining , but not too late.

So this is my calendar card for January 2013, using vellum. The info is to be found here.

Wish you all a nice and sunny Sunday!
