Time for Secrets

Hi scrappy friends,

It was the right time for a classic scrapbook layout. My favorite topic of course is my Sheltie Filou :-) . 

His favorite employment is in the forest walk and sniff, search in the water after hidden  treasures.

Where is my treasure ?

I used nature textures and some chipboards from Dusty Attic

I want take part on Once upon a sketch Anything goes

Journalling theme Anything goes

 and search in magic water!!

Happy crafting, Kerstin 

In the Garden

Hi crafty friends,

aus einem alten einfachen Holzrahmen entstand
ein kleines Geschenk für einen großen Romantikfan ;-)

 

gestempelt wurde sowohl auf dem Holzrahmen, auf altem Notenpapier

und auf Folie

 um den Holzrahmen noch etwas antiker zu gestalten, kam wieder Crackle Paint Medium im Zusammenspiel mit verschiedenen Patinafarben zum Einsatz

der Hintergrund wurde auf marmoriertem Papier mit einem Prägefolder embosst, als auch mit Schablone und weißem Gesso gestaltet

Hi crafty friends,
and again a premiere, my first tag by Tim Holtz Tags 2014 + A Vintage Journey Man

I've always not trust me, because I do not have the new products shown, as they are here in the European market is not yet available, usually only 2-3 months later.
But I'm of the opinion, ultimately does matter fact like to work with the quality products and have fun, regardless of whether they are already a few months longer on the market or brand new.

I'm a big fan of the nostalgic vintage style and therefore it is not without these great distress colors, or even embossing folders and much more. As I said, the shadow press folder are not yet arrived here, but I am always very impressed by the ideas and inspirations here and therefore I am today all my courage and enjoin the challenge!!

Why walking, have yet 4 healthy tyres ;-)

Ingredigents:

Cling stamps Travel Ways

Alcohol inks

Boy Dreams

Hi friends,
a new theme by Fashionable Stamping Challenge Circle the globe

little boys dreaming of a wide world, they want to drive across the oceans 
and live adventures, that was my idea to this topic.   

Distant world, I'm coming 

I can see your skies
I've dreamt of it so often,
to stand upon your shore

(the text it's from a favourite song)

Enjoy the Moments 

I used an old wood frame, a stencil with bubbles, nautic stamps, chipboards

 the young boy want to discover the world, it's a very cut stamp from Flonzkraft

the background was also made with the stencil bubbles

Distant world, I’m coming

 Best wishes, Kerstin

Steampunk Passion

Hi friends,

I'm a big vintage shabby style fan and love the things that are old and nobody wants anymore.
Scuffed, worn, rusty things with patina . I like the shabby style, because you can do many things themselves
Of course you can also buy everything new, but where is the fun?
that's why I love working with the Distress products.

SanDee & amelie's Steampunk May Challenge Heavy Metal

Hi Steampunkfriends,

my first DT Project for Sandee & Amelies Steampunk Challenge Heavy Metal 
and I'm very happy and proud! That's the right place for my romantic and crazy ideas. I like Steampunk, it's a new undiscovered world for me, but my style has always been more pretty and feminine.
But I also like to invent always new and so I will also often be good for a surprise ;-)

Aber ich erfinde mich auch gern immer wieder neu und deshalb werde ich auch öfter für eine Überraschung gut sein ;-)

Laßt euch von unserem DT überraschen und inspirieren,  dem Einfallsreichtum sind hier keine Grenzen gesetzt und entdeckt mit dem Steampunkgenre eure eigene neue Welt :-)!!

                                                Altered Box Thoughtful Lady

Passend zum Thema ist eine Altered Box entstanden, die schon ihren Platz auf dem Schreibtisch einer Freundin gefunden hat. Sie entstand aus einer einfachen stabilen Pappschachtel.
Der Hintergrund ist schwarzes Seidenpapier, zerknüllt, Reißverschluss eingenäht und mit Decoupagekleber auf dem Deckel der Schachtel befestigt. Farblich gestaltet mit Metallic Sprühfarben Silber und Kupfer und einer Masking Stencil (Zahnräder)

die nachdenkliche Lady ist ein Stempelmotiv von La Blanche, verziert mit zwei Glühbirnen (von einer defekten Weihnachtslichterkette ausgebaut ;-)) und mit einem Pappstreifen als Stütze im Hintergrund aufgeklebt.

                    die kupferne Metallfolie wurde mit den Sizzix Embossingfolder Gears geprägt

Heavy Metal wurde hier auch mit jeder Menge kleinen verspielten Charms umgesetzt und mit der Heißklebepistole befestigt, zum Schluß musste eine alte Modeschmuckkette auch noch dran glauben ;-)

Ich denke das Thema läßt einen sehr weiten Spielraum offen, von Charms, sämtlichen Metallfolien, aber auch Metallicfarben ist vieles möglich. Laßt eure Fantasie spielen und präsentiert uns eure Ideen, wir sind schon sehr gespannt und freuen uns auf eure Beiträge!!  

I think the theme can be a very wide leeway, of charms, all metal foils, as well as metallic colors, many things are possible. Let your imagination play and presents us your ideas, we are very curious and look forward to your contributions!

Thanks for stoppy by today and having a peek at my blog!


                 I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!
