My blue page for the Artful Times


Today was the first day we could see the sun, since we came back from holidays. Then the rain set in again and we just have to make the best out of it. ( I spent time in my craft room...!)

I made this page for the Artful Times - theme "blue".
Blue is my very favorite color and I sure enjoyed all the stenciling here!

Happy sunday afternoon!

Goodbye 2013 - welcome 2014!

My next project, is making a calendar like my old one ( 2013 - an idea from the craft barn). I intend to use my beloved SODAlicious papers AGAIN! Sorry, cant help myself...:-)
I brought my SODAlbum to the Caribbean islands in december. Here we were at the famous airport at Sint Maarten, where the planes landed only a few meters above our heads... very exciting, but one can hardly see that it is my album...

Being a scrapper, loving stamps and stencils, this place was like coming home - loads of beautiful stencils at the nut meg factory in Grenada. 
So, this is my first blog post this year.

I wish you all the very best in 2014 - may all your (and my) crafty projects get real as well !

My one and only design this year - using stamps from waltzing mouse and "hema" together with papers from allison kreft design (webster`s pages). I only made a few and bought the rest - so ONLY VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE get this design ...:-)

I wish you all a nice end of december - we´ll see when I will be able to blog again.

Lots of love! ...and of course - Happy yule!

Something nice and festive for Crafty Individuals

 Hello again and happy december! This year I tried to make something interesting for the entrance.


I built this tree with  moss and branches and then decorated it with pinecones, christmas ornaments and a little tag stamped with a crafty individual stamp.

 I finished the decoration with a stamped calico stripe and some christmas ribbon.


GOD JUL  =  Merry Christmas

I enter the challenge at crafty individuals and I hope that this decoration, using their stamps, will be festive enough for the challenge...

Hope you like it!

Love

Not a lot of craft time lately, but I still would like to keep going and finishing the alpha-dictionary challenge at the craft barn , where this fortnights letter is the letter S .

I chose the word spool and used some alteration "stuff" from Sizzix, together with the lovely dylusion ink sprays.

Hope you like it!

I wish you all a lovely weekend and I hope that all of us will start to get some christmas feeling( even though the weather here is grey in grey)...

Love!

making new friends - ASOI and SDC 126


Another art journal page for the monthly color challenge at the ASOI. I thought it was pretty hard to find the vanilla end the mushroom colours, and I was very happy when I finally succeeded.Other colours included in the challenge: robins egg blue and golden green.


The words are a nice reminder of this weekend - my husband went to Africa earlier this year and there he met some lovely people from Köln (Cologne). He wanted to keep in contact with them and invited them over. In the end we sure had some lovely time together and I do understand why my husband wanted me to meet these people. So , this page is for Lisa, Grete and Holger - "NEW PEOPLE - ENLARGING MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS"...

...and because of the splatter and that lovely stampotique angel, I also enter the SDC challenge no 126 and hope that they like my splatter with the deep teal neocolorII and the distress stain!

I wish you all a nice start of the new week and hope to see you soon again!
