It is nice to get an oldfashioned postcard in the letterbox...

I had fun making them and now I`m looking forward to get 10 handmade postcards in MY letterbox!

My canadian Junk Journal

 Back from wonderful Canada! We spent 3 weeks travelling from the east to the west with a group of people. Everything organized by german company called world-insight. Not the easiest way to travel - you move every day, living in different hotels and always move around with your suitcase. But this way it is possible to see A LOT and really get to know the country...

I promised myself I would make a junk journal with photos and collected "stuff" (tickets, maps...) .

So - this is the start. It will take me many days to finish it.

Take care out there!

a book mark for Simon Say Stamp

 A book mark for the monday challenge A book mark/getting inspired by a book at Simon Says Stamp. 

For me , kind of getting back to basic with the colours. Still love this combination -old paper, red and black.😊

...and look what I found - the VERY BEST stamp ever  "I WAS HERE"! Do you still remember that polish company making the groviest stamps, papers and stencils ? Sodalicious. Sad that the company doesn`t exist anymore...

Wishing you many hours reading great books!

The sun is getting stronger ☀.

 How very true!

Still so pale and far away - our important sun is gathering strength and coming towards us.

I `m longing for a nice tea outside , letting the sun "lick" my face , giving me power and vitamin D.

Warm hugs!

#fillatinyjournal -make a list

 This week at #fillatinyjournal  is all about making a list. 

I filled my journal spread with dies and cut outs as well as my most beloved list right now :

 - my SATURDAYS IN THE FOREST

 when we learn different things about this wonderful nature of ours! 

I am sooo happy to have a job where I can profit and enjoy the forest with the children.  And to be able to share this love with all the others who are all here to learn more about eco systems, rainworms anatomy, the love life of a snail... just love it1

Wishing you all the very best!

Take care out there!

Autumn tag

 

 

Inspired by the colours of autumn, Still brownish/red and not yellow. 

The rain came to dear Luxemburg and covered us total humidity. It has been raining the last 10 days and I did NOT believe I would say so BUT it is almost depressing! After this summer when we once again was longing for rain and shade I swore I would enjoy every rainy day coming up...

Anyway - the nature is happy! 

And I have my poncho, my HH trousers and my beloved wellies....it`s just so DARK!

I made this tag thinking of the blue, crispy days in between the rain. We are just in the beginning of October - I`m sure they will come.

"Höst" = Autumn in swedish.

Another month, another page...

This September has been warm, but last week we did get some rain :-) .

The forest is filled with different mushrooms - all shapes and colors. Just love the smell of autumn in the early morning.

At work, the new children have arrived and school started here today. Let`s hope that this group of youngsters will get as excited and happy in the forest like the group last year...

Stampotiques latest challenge is about using die or stencil.
I used both so here we go.

SDC 286 Nature

The latest challenge at Stampotique is all about nature.

I made this picture thinking about the beautiful leaves falling this time of the year. I also thought about friendship and how important it is to spend qualitity time together. The days get shorter, colder and darker and I love this cosy time with my friends when we all have to get closer to keep warm...

I used my beloved Stampotique stamps;

1. Magda`s reindeer
2. Magda`s Mr Owl
3. Penney-Torrente`s Dog Cube
4. Penney-Torrente`s Two Sticks

... and a clear stamp from WOW, called Flights of fancy .

Happy autumn to you all!

StampARTic challenge april "dies"

Hejsan / Hallo! This is my entry to the april challenge at StampARTic.
I have" loads of "  (some!) dies at home - a very nice collection, but nothing compared to friends of mine!
Scrapping , for me, is a kind of recycling as well. I love putting old stuff together and hopefully the end effect is the outcome I was looking for...:-)
Here, I started with an old button and added dies to the arrangement...
 I used the distressed doily die (Tim Holtz alterations), the Lovebird (Sizzix) and the layered Wings (Tim Holtz). The stamp is from the swedish company Reprint.

Hope you all like it!
