out of control - don`t (!) stress (???)

 Life is kind of chaotic "right now" (when is it not?).

I need to pull the breaks and focus on less "things" at the same time.

Let`s see how long I can keep that promise😅...

LETTING GO is my new key word.

Take care out there!

Autumn for the soul.

 Friedrich Nietschke once said;

" I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature".

Let that sink in...

Friendship

 ...well,well,well...

One of my dear friends, Katherine, is just SOOO good making/designing cards, using dies , stamps and beautiful papers. 

She joins a lot of different weekly challenges and she is really amazing. 

I have had a break from the paper world and now I feel that I miss it. So when Katherine showed me a card for Dream Factory with the theme "friendship", I felt the urge to join in.

This page/card is shows my feeling about true friendship; just DO whatever feels good for your soul!

Here I have used Sizzix` acorn and oak leaf blueprints  - Tim Hotz`Alterations  - stamped with versafine and colored with NeocolorsII.

SDC 335 - november

New month - new calendar page!

Stampotique designers Challenge no 335 is all about black and white together with another color. Because of the weather and the colors of the leaves - I chose brown ( or maybe "brownish").

I just LOVE the autumn colors - it is as if the trees show of in flowering - like the flowers in spring and summer time.

I used the stamp Relaxin` , some masks from Studio light , skeleton leaves from Sizzix and distress inks.

Wishing you all a beautiful November!

Summer and sunshine for Simon says Stamp

 This week the Wednesday challenge at Simon says stamp is all about summer and sunshine.

Making this card , I used a designer die from Echo Park paper co. and the sunburst stencil from Tim Holtz.

Luxemburg is waiting for another thunderstorm. Hot and sticky!

"Shit happens..."

...well... sometimes life is pretty tough, but somehow we all have to continue. We can`t just lay down and give up - `cause life does go on!

I made this canvas using my lovely leaf blueprint given to me by my friend Katherine. It was really nice to spend some time crafting again.

Wish you all a nice and colorful October!

EASIER for the Q&L challenge

My page for the latest theme at the craft barn. I chose the word "easier".

The quote is from a Henry Ward Beecher (?). Never heard of him. Very true words though!

( it is easier to go down a hill
 than up it
 but the view is much better
 at the top)

I hope you like it!

Lena

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!
