A nice day with creative fellows - workshop in Keispelt.

Working with water colors at the latest workshop for Mosaik Scrappers in our lovely "salle polyvalante" in Keispelt.
Jaine had prepared kits for us with water colors, pencils, paper and a canvas. And so the journey began...

After a couple of hours I had this picture in front of me.

For me it is about movement, going somewhere, looking for new sceneries and places.
In Swedish we say that we find a "smultronställe" - a place we love to go to , where you can pick sweet berries in the forest...
And you never know what to expect - like a box of chocolate - you never know what to you get :-)

Diamond wedding anniversary!

 A couple of months ago our luxemburgish scrap group called Mosaikscrappers had a workshop, held by my dear friend Jaine.

 We used a lot of different medias to create the backgrounds for this mini book.

 Watercolours with papers and stamps from Theresa Collins.

 So, after having had a great weekend in the hotel Historischer Krug in the northern part of Germany (not far away from Flensburg), I just had to order the photos, glue them in and within a week after the celebration, I was able to send the book to my parents in law.

AMAZING! Diamond = 60 years marriage... and they still keep going!

Bravo, bravo, bravo...!

My new water color mini album (Vienna)

 Last weekend our scrap group here in Luxemburg (Mosaik scrappers ) had another whole day workshop. This time held by Michele Burger.

 She taught us how to add water colors in our work and it sure was very interesting.

 I finished this little book and will send it to our "old" friends in Vienna.

 I didn`t like writing with the brush, but I enjoyed splashing and adding stripes.

 It is amazing how much the added color does to the pages!

 Michele had ordered the material at Dani Peuss in Germany and she put together the kits herself.

It was a gorgeous day with a lot of interested, happy and hard working scrappers.

Thank you Michele for this wonderful workshop!

My SODAlicious album - theme Berlin

A couple of months ago, I fell in love with a little mini album from SODAlicious. This weekend , we had a workshop here in Luxemburg - making this mini, using papers and journal cards from Poland. In the kits, I also had a lot of other stuff from SODAlicious, but I had to buy it through Scrapbook Werkstatt, because SODAlicious didn't sell these things anymore. Anyway - a big THANK you to Scrapbook Werkstatt for their quick delivery and of course to SODAlicious too.

My daughter went with her boyfriend to Berlin and they had a great time!

They were stunned by all the different graffiti all over.

I used only SODAlicious and ILS products.

The only colour added - neon orange!

I just LOVE using those "kartotek" cards as a background.

Katherine had prepared some lovely sizzix shapes to go with the theme.

I love this style and it is really very easy to make.

We had a lovely day together - next time the whole group will meet, will be in december for a "cool" christmas decoration - any good ideas?

Wishing you all some nice and sunny days!

Hugs
