Tagalbum 'Enjoy your Journey' with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was inspired to create a Tag album

and used as base the Tag Book Set from 13arts.

A perfect size for me and this is a project for betweens, 

you know what I mean?
You don't need much time and not much material, 

but you can express a lot.

 

I created a sea inspired album in Steampunk style.

 

 

 

I used one of the latest awesome mixed media collections

'Industrial Zone', here you can find a lot of suitable small things

transparency elements, Emphemera, sayings,

 stamps, very thin MDF parts

and so much more ...

Tip:  you can also use wrapping materials, here from a stencil

I hope you find inspiration!

DIY Book Nook with Tuto Tips - 'Steamies Adventures' Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Some time ago I presented you my first Garden Book Nook 

created with Dusty chipboards, it was a gift for a dear gardening friend 

and was very well received. 

Building Book Nooks has become a trendy theme and you can see 

many realistic miniature worlds inspired by great book themes. 

 

I had to build my first blank myself, 

now Dusty Attic has two matching very sturdy book nooks on offer. 

They are just great and inspired me together with the new marine mechanicals 

to create a book nook of a very different kind.

 

This time I chose the maritime steampunk world as a theme and positioned my favourite seahorse, 

(lovingly known here as Steamie 😀😍)

 in 3d optic in the foreground.

 

 

 

I thought about installing two thread rods so that I could fix the individual parts in place.

I tried it out and it works 😀😎

Dark Forest - Altered Art Home Decor

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I found an old home decoration piece on flea market,  

 two mushrooms are made of felt and I liked them.

They inspired me to decorate them with some MDF shapes

 and make them unique.

 

Thought of a moonlight night in the dark forest

 and you can see that I already started with Halloween crafts 😀.

Darn Crash - Halloween Tag with message

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

It's August again and in this sunny hot time here 

I get regularly the Halloween virus. 

 

Don't know what is the reason, the amazing new Halloweenprojects 

with Tim Holtz products or the heat just goes to my head ???, 

but it's become a tradition now.

 

And while I'm waiting on my new Sizzix cutting dies, 

just love to play with my great stuff.
