Q&L - journey

Hello again!

Sometimes life feels tough and it is difficult to look forward in a positive way.  I found this quote on Pinterest and thought that -"yeah, why does it have to stop me"...

Life continues and we all have to keep going - we have nice days and we have bad days - just like everybody else.

This journal page is for the latest quote & lyric challenge at the craft barn were the theme this fortnight is journey / friendship.

I made the background with stencils, gesso, modeling paste, Indigo blue stamp and distress ink.The trees are very special to me - a stamp from Reprint.

The quote says " never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey".

Wish you all a sunny november!

Q&L challenge "PATH"

Another Quote&Lyric theme by the Craft Barn - this time I chose "path".

"some people cross your path and change your whole direction..."

... very true, I believe!

I used the psychedelic grunge CMS 056 by Tim Holtz ( Stampers anonymous) to mark the possible paths and I embossed with different  powders. Background = neocolorsII.

Hope you like it!

Music for the Q&L challenge

"One good thing about music, when it hits you you feel no pain" (Bob Marley)

Another journal page for the Q&L challenge at the craft barn.

I used stamps from de Stempelwinkel (enchanted ink) and Infiniment scrap and I tried to keep the page in Jamaican colours.

Hope you like it!

HURT for the Q&L challenge

Another journal page for the Quote&Lyric challenge at the craft barn. I chose the word "hurt" and went with the quote  "It hurts to let go, but sometimes it hurts even more to hold on..."

I used one of my favorite stamps from Stampotique together with some of my favorite stamps from my good friend Jaine (she designs stamps for Sarah Hurley).

Other items to mention ;
Ledger stencil, arrow  stencil, colours from Faber Castell and distress inks.

Hope you like it!

Wish you all a nice week!

"TRAVEL" for the Q&L challenge

Travel! That is the word for me!
Having a husband who seems born to travel, he always pushes me to try different and exciting destinations . With him, I have seen a lot in this world - without him, I`m quit sure, I would have seen only a 10th... ( like a good friend of mine would have said here -"bless his butt"...)

For this page, I used stamps from Scrapbook Werkstatt (Weltenbummler by Stephanie Berger) and from Kaisercraft (Memory boxes). Other materials ; dylusion inks, a TCW template and a lot of WOW embossing powder.

I found 3 very nice AND true quotes - the best (according to me) is still "to travel is to take a journey into yourself".

Hope you like this entry to the Q&L challenge at the craft barn, where the words given this fortnight is flower and/or travel.

And now I have the inspiration to finish my travel journal from our last trip...

Take care out there!

the word SILENCE , this time for Craft Barn

This spread is my entry for the Craft Barn`s Q&L Challenge which is Dazzle and/or Silence.

I used the lyrics from "Enjoy the silence" by Depeche Mode.

The whole spread is VERY much inspired by Dina Wakley - I feel that I need those colours right now - to warm me up in this cold and wet time of the year.

Stamps used; Stampotique, Zettiology, Hero art.

Wish you all a nice week!

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!
