Squares for Stampotique!

I haven't joined the Stampotique designers challenges for a long time now. But as I noticed the theme I  could visualize this tag in my head directly. So here we are.

I had a great evening in my craft room - thank you for the inspration!

The whatever no 4.

This is my entry to Nathalie Kalbachs creative storytelling the whatevers no 4.

I think it is impossible to see if the child is a boy or a girl in that picture. That reminded me of my cousin in Sweden. He had the most beautiful hair and his parents kept it quit long even though he was/is a boy. As if they wanted him to be a girl. After a while my cousin cut his hair off and the story ended. I can imagine the father in this picture struggling with the same feelings. He would love to show the world how beautiful his sons hair is , but the social norms forbid it... ( nowadays everybody is allowed to have long hair - I see many children at my work, who would prefer to have a shorter haircut, and the parents can't get them self to take the child to the hairdresser ).

I'm waiting for the photos from the last vacation to arrive - would love to finish the mini book I started...

I had fun creating this new page !

A badge for "coloryourworld".

Hello again!

After a very busy "first -week -after -holiday", I finally got some time in the basement. Feeling a bit poorly with a sore throat and headache, that was the best place for me today!

I started this page with a lot of gesso - just love the sudden structure!
The only thing that had to be on the page was a badge and then to use the LO from color your world.
.
It made me happy to be able to use all my collected stuff in my craft room;
neocolorsII, the stamps from l'encre et l'image as well as from infocrea, distress inks, washi tapes, masks from creative expressions and the crafters workshop and the Zig" wink of stella"...

Happy sunday out there!

the whatevers no 3

.......and now - this is my entry to Nathalie Kalbachs creative storytelling called the whatevers.

I started this page before we went on holidays and today I was able to finish it. Not many words to this story - HUNGER is a word we all understand and I do believe that "Berta" is hungry.

I have to link this to the whatevers no 4 even though it is the whatevers no 3 . Maybe Nathalie can sort it out...

Wish you all a great week!

"Autumn" for PanPastell.

I made this tag for Pan Pastels new theme "autumn".

We just got back from our holidays and Luxemburg is really still in a summer mood. Nice and warm! Hard to believe that the autumn starts next weekend...

Faces , art journal page for AJJ.

This is my entry to lovely Susi's art journal journey.

I found my "old" Stampotique stamps again! I simply ADORE those faces - nothing can beat their expressions!

Take care out there!

Back from Asia!

After  holidays, I always love to check the photos taken... this time I think this is my favorite;

great, spicy food, feet in the warm sand, brown legs and a dog waiting...

Koh Samui 9/9.

Still trying to sort out the washing and empty suitcases, aswell as my art journal/mini scrap album...

Maybe I can continue scrapping tomorrow...(juhu!)

Getting ready for VACATION!

 When Luxemburg is hot , sticky and horrible, this is the place to be. We call it Grannys corner as it was the grandmother from Denmark who made it "her" corner. Perfect shade !

Just have to show you what I found at the fleamarket in Remisch last wednesday - a stand filled with old russian stamps!!! Gorgeous, but expensive... I only bought 2...

And now we are preparing the "big" holiday of the year. We leave for Cambodia and Thailand tomorrow... I went home from work, as we didn't have many children there today and now I am ironing, washing, packing, preparing.........
It will be great , I know, but I will miss our Lisa who has to stay at home and take care of the house and school. Of course I will miss our son as well, but now I'm almost used to him not joining us on holidays...

This last picture is from Lissabon. I simply fell in love with the tiles all over the city. Stunning work!

Take care out there!

a finished cover for AJJ

Hey again!

Just wanted to show you that I DID finish the cover for my "the whatever pages".

So now I link it to art journal journey again!

I can + monochrome

This is my art journal page made for SODAlicious. I use this little booklet from SODAlicious to document the preparations for our upnext coming holidays. I will take it with me traveling as well as it is quit small and handy to bring.

The theme is "I CAN".

I used stamps from SODAlicious and  the checker plate stamp from Kaisercraft.

I really love the SODAlicious products BUT they are hard to get! As soon as I want to order, the stamps are gone - better be lucky next time...!

This color is very new to me - brownish, beige, almost getting soft pink... it was a challenge for me to keep it in only one color and I hereby join the art journal café as they would like to see some pages monochrome.

Wish you all a great weekend!

A mini scrap book for Cedric.

This is the mini scrap book from Denmark. I just finished it and in the end I got quit pleased with it. 

I used laminated plastic between the pages to keep them all together. In this plastic I could store small souvenirs from  the holiday.







The papers are all from scrapbook werkstatt.
I really like this collection called "Weltenbummler".











I used stamps from My Stamp Box and from l'encre et l'image.

And yes, it is possible to sew through the plastic.

I just love these stamps - you can really use them for every kind of scrapbooking or mini album. My friend Jaine belongs to the design team of My Stamp Box and I really like their stamp collection.


This is it for now!

Hope you like my little book!
