Hannas DIY Postcard Swap Autumn 2026

 Some years ago I joined  iHannas postcardswap and this year I decided to do so once again.

 

My postcards are ready to be sent and I hope someone will be happy to recieve one. 

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!

Remembering this moment.

 Autumn -23 we made a road/train/flight trip with World Insight. The first time with our ADULT girls .

It turned out to be the best trip ever - at least for me. To enjoy them so close, for so long and so very intense... and really discover things - new to all of us - together.

Life goes on - so many nice moments to enjoy.

I will always remember this moment with Lisa drinking vietnamese coffee on this beautiful view point at Hai Wan Pass heading down to Hoi An.

If you EVER get the opportunuty to see, feel and experience Vietnam, please don`t hesitate.

The best destination and food EVER!!!

Sending peace to a land still struggling with differenties between  the north and the south!

#fillatinyjournal polka dots

 

This week iHanna asks for polka dots.

This spread is made with distress inks, lyrics from on old swedish song, poscapens and a "sticker" from Old Memory, Vintage Lady collection. I thought that this lady here, wearing a polka dot blouse, must be perfect for the challenge.

Stay safe!

#fillatinyjournal "colorful"

 

Another journal page for iHanna`s latest theme for the fillatinyjournal challenge.

It turned out to be a collage without a lot of stamping.

Colorful - like nature right now!

Stay safe!!!

#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!

#fillatinyjournal SPRING

 

Another art journal page for iHanna`s. This time the theme is "spring".

I made a collage with water color sand some cute flower/butterfly stamps from Pink fresh studio (playful animal friends).

I chose the word from a swedish poem by Gustaf Fröding;

"var inte ledsen

fast molnen trycka 

och vinterkölden genom hjärtat gå

ty bakom moln 

glänsa sol och lycka 

och efter vinter 

blir det  åter vår"

Once again - take care out there!

#fillatinyjournal "dream"

  iHannas latest  "challenge" is to fill our tiny journal with dreams.

This was really funny - I found my distress crayons and had allowed myself to get a bit crazy.

Loved it!

Take care out there!

a collage for #fillatinyjournal

 

This week  ihanna challenged us to make another spread in our journals with the theme "friendship".

My spread turned into a collage with only one stamp - "hello friend" (Kaisercraft).

So this is my entry to the fillatinyjournal.

#fillatinyjournal "connection"

 

My take on the challenge #fillatinyjournal. This week the theme at iHanna is Connection.

Somehow I believe and feel that we are all conneted...

Here, I used the wonderful stamps from  Stampotique , designed by Olivia Thomas, Magda Polakow , Jill Penney and Daniel Torrente.

Take care, out there - and stay connected!

#fillatinyjournal iHanna

iHanna started this weekly "challenge" with 9 different prompts. The first one was alla about hearts and this is my entry; .

"... your art is about if your HEART likes your work, if your SOUL likes your work - it`s about how honest you are with yourself."

Take care out there!
