Aber bitte mit Sahne

Hi friends,

Do you like ice coffee in summer just as I ???

That was my first thought as I saw the new Tag by Tim Holtz.

My advice would be  ;-)

to go window shopping and relax afterwards 

having an iced coffee in one of the homely Cafe's of your town!

That is summer relaxion, enjoyment pure and new life energy :-)

Lightbulb Moments

Welcome everyone,

today a new project which is from fun to joy has emerged . I was inspired from the faux cracked glass technique (Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities III)

There is a place where the ideas come (hopefully ;-)) an old little rustic laboratory with a black window glass, because it sometimes bangs and smells ;-)

our new very creative Jan is

 What makes you smile ? :-)?

Close your eyes for a few minutes, relax and think about something that makes you smile..............
It could be a special person, a favourite place, a quote, an incident, the list is endless!
our June challenge is to create something that will make us smile, it could be a scrapbook or journal page, a canvas, a tag, whatever your imagination dictates.

My first thought to this theme was my dog for many years.
