Wild Wimin'

At Theme Thursday, the challenge was to make an ATC with swirls in it.. so here is my very simple, swirly ATC...

Just some blue-ish purple scrapbookpaper, stamped some swirls on it, added a picture of Lisa's Altered Art and I was done!!

I actually wanted to show you more, but I feel somewhat "under the weather" so I haven't done anything else yet.... Maybe next time!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Turquoise and Red

Wow, it has been a week since a posted last.... I've been busy with a lot of things, but I can't show them yet, not until the people it's for, have received them! So that will come in a next post!

A new week, a new theme at Wednesday Stamper...... Turquoise and Red..... Well, I love turquoise, and yes, I did have that color ink.. so I just sponged a 4x4, stamped Mona in Red, used some acrylic cornerstamps (Tim Holtz) and my printer for a title. Since I love the bling lately, I thought it would look nice to put a red blingy thingy in the corners,..... et voilá, my card is done!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Some work

Not much to tell from this side of the world! Still no scrappin' MoJo, but MoJo for other things is really here!
I've made some ATC's lately, wanted to put them in a slide show, but for some reason blogger won't let me...... so, here they are, the normal way:-)

You can find these and more at my Flickr page.

And Wednesday Stamper has a new challenge up, Dogs.... well, that wasn't so hard, a Golden Retriever is my favorite, would love love love to have one, but that will come, I'm sure about that! So, what is better to use if you don't have a dog stamp, than a lovely picture of a Golden puppy! The stamp with sayings about friends fits perfectly, so, tataa.... my 4x4 was done

CrowAbout47 and Wednesday Stamper Paisley

This weeks, or actually 2 weeks, challenge at Wednesday Stamper is Paisley! I do love paisley, but don't have any stamps in that pattern, but.... still had some My Minds Eye patterned paper laying around and used that for my 4x4.

The stamp is from Crafty Individuals and the border from Art Journey if I'm not mistaking! The little corner punch is laying here for years, haven't used it since we live here, but I thought it would go fine with this!

This collage sheet from CrowAbout is no.47, so not up-to-date anymore, but I thought it was so funny, that I started to play!

The background is done with the glazing paint technique, which is in Claudine Helmuth's book Collage Discovery Workshop, a book I bought a while ago and I think it's totally awesome! After the paint was dry, I just started cutting the pictures, and placing them everywhere until I found the right compostion... And while I was doing that, a "story" was born........

Dwight commited a huge crime and had to spend years in prison. No fun at all if the prison is located across from the theater where for month after month the play "Little creative Soul Soars" played.. with the weirdest looking songburd playing the leading part and singing "The 101 Best Songs" ever.... Dwight was sick and tired of hearing the same songs night after night.... Too bad Dwight, you shouldn't have been so bad..........

So, that's what I've been doing today.... had fun with it! And I think I know what I'm doing next; I'm coing to make a cover for the CrowAbout works, they are all 5x7 and I have no clue where else I can keep them so they don't damage easily, and a cardboard cover sounds good to me! Maybe that's what I'll show next time!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Take a Ride!

Through my friend Paula, (who is an awesome card maker and scrapbooker, and vintage lover like me!!) I discovered the blog of the Wednesday Stampers. Every Wednesday they have a challenge going on, and you have to use at least one stamp!

Well, as you probably know by now, I'm getting kind of addicted to "collecting" stamps, so the use of one isn't that hard anymore, ha, ha.

(if you want to see it larger, click on the picture!)

This weeks theme is "Take a Ride" and eventhough I have a bicycle stamp, the vintage lover in me took over and I used this lovely Tim Holtz stamp of the "umbrella man" and the "clock" from the set "Lifes Possibilities". If you've got some imagination (kind of like I used here), and look at the title, I figured the man could travel through time using his umbrella... And I liked the idea, so I used it!

For the first time I've worked on a 4x4 and gosh, that's just great! The Harlequin stamp is by Crafty Individuals, inks used are Stazon Midnight Blue, Distress Shabby Shutters and Vintage Photo, and to brighten things up a bit, I used my Hotfix to put some bling on the Harlequin's!
