My HOME page for AJJ

Right now it is difficult to find crafty time in my life, but I am VERY happy to have been able to finish this art journal page for Art Journal Journey, this month with the theme HOME.

This is how I would like our children to remember their home - a lot of love, all inclusive, a big welcome each time they open the door, people coming and going, acceptance, some great memories and good laughs...

Happy to join the challenge!

The whatever no 4.

This is my entry to Nathalie Kalbachs creative storytelling the whatevers no 4.

I think it is impossible to see if the child is a boy or a girl in that picture. That reminded me of my cousin in Sweden. He had the most beautiful hair and his parents kept it quit long even though he was/is a boy. As if they wanted him to be a girl. After a while my cousin cut his hair off and the story ended. I can imagine the father in this picture struggling with the same feelings. He would love to show the world how beautiful his sons hair is , but the social norms forbid it... ( nowadays everybody is allowed to have long hair - I see many children at my work, who would prefer to have a shorter haircut, and the parents can't get them self to take the child to the hairdresser ).

I'm waiting for the photos from the last vacation to arrive - would love to finish the mini book I started...

I had fun creating this new page !

A badge for "coloryourworld".

Hello again!

After a very busy "first -week -after -holiday", I finally got some time in the basement. Feeling a bit poorly with a sore throat and headache, that was the best place for me today!

I started this page with a lot of gesso - just love the sudden structure!
The only thing that had to be on the page was a badge and then to use the LO from color your world.
.
It made me happy to be able to use all my collected stuff in my craft room;
neocolorsII, the stamps from l'encre et l'image as well as from infocrea, distress inks, washi tapes, masks from creative expressions and the crafters workshop and the Zig" wink of stella"...

Happy sunday out there!

the whatevers no 3

.......and now - this is my entry to Nathalie Kalbachs creative storytelling called the whatevers.

I started this page before we went on holidays and today I was able to finish it. Not many words to this story - HUNGER is a word we all understand and I do believe that "Berta" is hungry.

I have to link this to the whatevers no 4 even though it is the whatevers no 3 . Maybe Nathalie can sort it out...

Wish you all a great week!

Faces , art journal page for AJJ.

This is my entry to lovely Susi's art journal journey.

I found my "old" Stampotique stamps again! I simply ADORE those faces - nothing can beat their expressions!

Take care out there!
