Hi friends!

The time is right for a new inspiration with some another pages from my Nature Junk Journal.

This is one of the new Junk Journal Kits from Scrap FX….  Nature, you can find in this Kit various scrapbook materials for instance a tag, several laser cut pages, an envelope for the cover or an acetate sheet.

I used a lot of various products - silhouettes, stamps and chipboards
and diverse techniques, 

really a unique and creative adventure with a lot of fun 

and you will always have the opportunity to chance or add your own pages.

Photo in a Jar

Welcome crafty friends!

 

I'm absolutely happy and proud, because I'm the newest teamie

 on the amazing Designteam from Calico Craft Parts :-).

I'm a big fan from this MDF shapes, because they have an individual design with fine contours and shades, giving them a personal touch.

Today I want to share with you an idea for a home decoration piece, 

it's also perfect as gift for a lovely family member.

It's very simple and made quickly, you only have to pay attention to the size of the individual parts, so that they fit through the narrow neck of the bottle. The easiest way is to work with tweezers.

 I use a transparent glass bottle and poured a lot of Baltic Sea sand into it, then I cut a beach chair from a photo. The newest Seahorse & Seashell Collage Size M was so awesome for me, because I love seahorses in all types and sizes.

more details can you find here

 I didn't want to paint them at first, because I was afraid to destroy the fine contour lines.
That's why I decided to use Antiquing cream, a water based colour from DecoArt in Titanium White, Patina Green and Raw Umber. For the seahorse a little bit orange water colour. In addition on some places Decosand glued with Heavy Gel Medium.

I want to share this project

Relaxed days

Hello friends!

Today a new layout as memory on wonderful, relaxed days by the sea. It's very hot here and I wish I could be there now. So it was a pleasure for me to think on the refreshing sea breeze, clear air and restful moments and tranquillity. 

I was inspired from the wonderful blue shade from the paper sheet 1934 (Vintage Summer Basics), the right colour and background and absolutely suitable to my photo from our sunshine dog 'Filou'.

I also used some chipboards (Scrap FX, Blue Fern Studios) cutting dies (Joy Craft), background stamps(49 and Market) and very importantly for me shells, a natural starfish, baltic sea sand and a wooden seahorse. I love it to use such natural products
then it feels like you're there yourself.

Please have a look and feel you inspired to create your own
crafting projects
We are looking forward to see your new creations!

Junk Journal Natural friends

Hello everyone!

My latest 'Junkie' is ready, it's slightly thicker than become planned. I used a lot of Scrap FX products and tried new combinations and techniques, it was a lot of fun. Today I want to share with you the cover and some another pages with were made with the amazing 

Junk Journal Kit 'Nature'

more details 

 Do you know all the Transparencies from Scrap FX??

I love this foils, a lot of sayings and beautiful motifs. I used 'Grand Old Tree' as Cover for my journal.

The Kit contains a big envelope, that was the basic and I used  Distress spray 'Vintage Photo' with some stains. I glued this foil behind the dark places by tree, so that the glue spots were not visible.

 If you sew the journal together, you can easily pierce the foil with the needle

 beautiful butterflies transparency is also contained in this Nature Kit

I love this transparent effect, because you can see the page behind it.

 

 Friends are the flowers in the Garden of Life, a wonderful saying, that necessarily had to go in there.

The laser cut page reminds me on a bark from a tree, I glued music paper behind this cut out.

 Don't worry, be happy, this little frogs makes a good mood

On the right side you can see a glassine bag, a very good addition for a Junk Journal, because you can

collect some photo's, pictures, but you can also hide some surprises if you want to give away your journal to a friend.

I hope I could inspire you to try your own Journal,

a lot of possibilities and fun!

Next time, I'll show you the rest of this journal !

Happy crafting!

Seahorse in a frame

Welcome!

Es ist wieder Zeit für eine neue Inspiration auf unserem Steampunk Challenge Blog.

Entstanden ist ein Bilderrahmen im Mixed Media Stil.

Basis war ein einfacher schwarzer 3D Plastikrahmen 

und einer meiner Lieblingsstempel (Scrap FX).

 

  

Der Stempel diente als Form und Grundlage um verschienden Metallembellishments besser anordnen zu können. Außerdem kamen auch ein paar alte Uhrenteile zum Einsatz. 

Alle Teile wurden zunächst mit weissem Gesso bemalt und anschließend mit verschiedenen Acrylfarben (DecoArt) eingefärbt.

 Nach dem Trocknen wurden alle Einzelteile mit Heavy Gel Medium (DecoArt) aufgeklebt.

Happy crafting!
