feminine - masculine

Intense colours for an interesting theme - feminine / masculine.

Using stamps from Dina Wakley , KAISER scrapbook , de Stempelwinkel and Cherry pie art stamps, I made this page for the June challenge at Art journal Journey.

Have a nice weekend!

The colour red for de Stempelwinkel

I love to work on this linen background - the texture just makes me happy...

This is a card for the latest challenge at de Stempelwinkel where the theme is RED.

I used a Dina Wakley stencil and the 2 stamps from the shop itself ; Kiss ( cherrypieartstamps) and water effects (Ryn).

It all makes me think of that gorgeous song by Christina Perri. Do you remember "jar of hearts"?

Take care out there!

A winterpage for de Stempelwinkel

This fortnight de Stempelwinkel asks for something "wintery".

Here in Luxemburg the winter usually is more wet than cold - except for this year ...

My journal page is made with fusion art stamps, cherrypie art stamps and my very new ones - designed by Ryn - all of them from DeStempelwinkel.

I`m sooo sorry for not being able to make a "scenery"  - it just isn`t me.

Hope you like it anyway!

Hugs from a freezing Lux.

An art journal page for de Stempelwinkel

An art journal page for the latest challenge over at de Stempelwinkel. " Anything goes but keep it simple"

Stamps from Cherrypieartstamps, Art journal from Dylusion and the stencil from TCW. All products to be found at de Stempelwinkel.

Wish you all a lovely week!

New challenge from De Stempelwinkel!

De Stempelwinkel just started a new challenge with new themes every fortnight. The first one is very easy - "anything goes"... as long you are using a DE-STEMPELWINKEL stocked stamp as your main feature.

On this journal page, I used 2 stamps from Cherrypieartstamps on a stenciled background.

Hope you like it, dear Jetske! ... (and I hope to see you this weekend at the craft fair in Luxemburg)

Happy 2015!

My moon page for the Q&L challenge

"... and you were just like the moon, so lovely, so full of imperfections, but just like the moon, you shined in times of darkness"...
..." the sun sees your body - the moon sees your soul"...

2 quotes for this fortnights challenge at the craft barn.

A week ago , a busload of women , left Luxemburg for the craft fair in Frankfurt. We had a great time and bought a lot of gorgeous stuff. I found this beautiful stamp at the stand from Jetske (= de Stempelwinkel) and I thought I had to use it immediately .

I tried to keep it simple with less layers.

The chosen word is moon - hope you like it!

ASOI colour challenge

Being me=loving colours, I couldn`t resist the latest challenge at ASOI, using colours like irish cream, rich ruby, seafoam green, deep cobalt and steel blue.

I amused myself using scraps from Maja Design, stamps from Unity stamp company ( Christy Tomlinson) , Sodalicious and de Stempelwinkel ( cherrypieartstamp). A very nice challenge!

The sun still licks our faces here in the Grand Duchy - let `s see what the weekend brings...!

Hope you like this journal page!

SDC 152 and Q&L challenge in one go

The DT at Stampotique Design Team challenge asks for something sentimental this week. So I combined it with the Q&L challenge, where the word this fortnight is either proud or vintage,

I used 2 gorgeous stampotique stamps (by Magda Polakow and Jill Penney) together with another "de stempelwinkel" stamp. The background is gesso, paper, texture paste and distress inks.

The words "be with someone who is proud to have you"  - found on Pinterest...

Hope you like the page!

the letter R for the craft barn - finally!

Busy, busy, busy...busy with all those things called family, work, cooking, education, friends...
I am very happy to be able to say that I have all those things in my life, but my crafty time is suffering after a week with family in Sweden, to catch up at work and, and, and...

BUT, here we are -  I finally finished my art journal page for the craft barn's alpha/dictionary challenge letter R.

Wish you all a nice end of the week!

Letter E for the craft barn challenge

Getting back to work after an almost 4 month break made me stressed. No crafty time and no me time. Today is the first time this week when I can allow myself to let go and enjoy my basement - juhu!

This page is for the the alpha challenge at the craft barn where the letter this fortnight is E.

I started of with the words evolution, evaluation ...and ended with education. Pleased that I finally would be able to use this gorgeous image of a teacher from de stempelwinkel, which I bought in Wiesbaden a year ago.
Other stamps used;
Unitystamps (Christy Tomlinson), My stamp box(border) and Crafty Individuals (dragonfly).
The background is made with dylusion ink sprays through SODAlicious stencils. And the of course, A LOT OF Washitape...

I had fun!
Hope to see you soon again!

Mermaid for Creavil.

This is my entry to Creavils challengeblog, where the theme this time is mermaids. Quit hard as I didn't have any mermaid stamp, but I made my own out of stamps from "de stempelwinkel" and "cherry pie art stamps". The "tail" is made out of home made paper with stamps from "kesi art" and "stampotique". The background is neocolours 2.

Hope you all like it...

Had/have fun!
