A new collage in my art journal.

 Feeling happy and joyful as I found this little fellow in an old box filled with images. 

Long time - no see...!

An art journal page, stamped with a cling stamp from Azoline, painted with water colors -  then decorated with this lovely fellow and a flower from Dylusion.

Happy September!

Tree hanger Christmas -22

 

... dachshund through the snow, in a one-hourse open sleigh...

My little tree hanger for Christmas 2022.

This year has not been the best for our family. We hope for a better year coming up pretty soon.

I do love Kate Crane and her style creating cool stuff for  Carabelle studio so I simply stole her idea making "cards " this year.

Wishing you all the VERY, VERY best for the coming year!

the right exit?

 

Another page in my journal  - this time about finding the right exit.

The background is a collage, painted with gesso and later with Neocolors II.

The stamps are all from Carabelle studios and Catsonappletrees and the dies are from Provo Craft.

Wishing you all the best!

Take care out there!

Listen

 

The last one (4/4) - listen to your body.

My body is trying to tell me something - I have to learn to listen and to understand this magic language.

The last collage with images (stamps) from Carabelle studio.

February - please, be kind!

 Please February - be kind!

We need light and happiness. We need signs of spring and sleepthrough nights. We need hope and kindness.

Please be gentle - please be kind!

This is my 3rd page (out of 4) where the background is a collage and the focus is a stamped image.

Here I`ve used Mela (Stampotique) , Funky Ducks (Carabelle studio) and Rainbow is my favorite color (Carabelle studio). 

I love using "old" scrap pieces - here I even found paper from SODAlicious ! LONG way back!

Let us hope that February will be nice!

JANUARY - blues

Thirty days has September, April , June and November.

Unless leap year is its fate, 

February has twenty-eight.

But all the rest have tree days more,

...

...

...

excepting January, wich has six thousand one hundred and eighty-four.

This spread is about all these wonderful things to expect and look forward to, once January has passed.

More colours, a brighter sun .... all these "things" waiting for their time to shine.

I `ve used acrylics , posca-pens,  templates (Kate crane and Birgit Koopsen) from Carabelle Studio , a lovely stamp from Gummiapan and different die-cuts from Elisabeth Craft Design. 

Take care, out there!

Lena

We need to have faith!

 Another page (no 2 out of 4) where I have used painted elements in a collage. I love to put it all together and use my sewingmachine to finish it of.

This one is called "have faith" because we all need to have faith in something;

It could be having faith in God, in your body, recovery, friendship, succes, good times coming... anything!  

Take care out there!

Lena

It is ok to feel sad.

 

An art journal page inpired by France Papillon and our January weather in Luxembourg.

And I do think it is important to allow ourselves to feel sad once in a while.

Here I`ve used the stamps Daniel Torrentes "Friend" and Birgit Koopsens "rainbow is my favorite color" .

The background is inspired by France Papillon as she shows her "a layer a day" on You-tube.

Wishing you a lovely January - time for happiness as well as for sadness ( if needed).

Take care out there!

Lena

Be patient...

 

 

... easy to say - difficult to achieve.

I love to color stamped images with neocolors, cutting apart and then putting it all together. 

My first "mantra" in 2022.

It is hard to be patient. I try.

Stay safe out there!

SDC 383 - green is the new black.

 

Here we go again - the latest challenge made with Stampotique stamps. This time it is all about words or quotes - SDC 383. 

I used the lovely  Veggie Boo and the BlaBlaBla  together with some stamps from catsonappletrees .
