less stress - positiv and grateful!

 MANY years ago, we (Jaine and I) went to a weekend with different workshops arranged by "ScrapbookWerkstatt" in Germany.

One of the nice people we met there was Amy Tangerine, who held a workshop using her own booklet and papers. Looking through my stash I found it again and decided to fill out the missing pages.

This is todays page - totally happy and looking ahead. 

It is a wonderful feeling when it looks good using "old" stuff. 

Made my day!

a collage for 2025

This is my take on a collage . I started tearing magazines into pieces and sorting them by colour. 

Now, one can barely see the pieces as I covered most of them with colour!

Hmmm...

Anyway, this was fun.

Tomorrow is another day - let's see what it brings😊.

...and the very last one this year😊

 So, the year is coming to an end. 

Christmas day is a quiet day in our house. We relax and think about the busy day we had yesterday with the family at home. 

Everybody seemed happy with the gifts presented. 

The food was good and we had some lovely family news as well.

All in all a nice good bye to 2024 and positive thoughts for 2025.

I will spend the coming days sorting out old "stuff" and probably throwing away parts I don`t use or need anymore . 

I don`t like the long and dark January - I prepare myself now with loads of crafty things to draw, paint, glue, sew... maybe a nice collage or sashiko or watercolors with Selvtid.dk ... 

We will see what the future brings!

Take care out there!

4.Advent - another card on it's way🙂

 Almost the same scenery;

A watercolor backround, a piece of gelliprint backing and transparency film. 

Hold together with a black seam and small stripes of fabric.

Decorated with posca dots and the main focus is the dog with a little  hat.

Just makes me happy.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

..and here we go - No 4!😊

Here we are - No 4 is on it`s way!

Happy Advent!

Time to enjoy!

..next one... no 2.

Here is the next one. I do like to use my sewing machine to add some accents.

My cool sheep - of you go to (?)...

Enjoy!

Lena

..the first one ...

 The first one goes to Carole - my "wichtel" - partner this year. 

Happy Advent -24!

mixed media doodling

 

My first attempt - a doodled AJ page.

I really enjoyed my time in my room, escaping the heat outside.

The color of  beautiful poppies, with heavy gold and black accents.

A card for Sunanda.

 A free style card for my friend Sunanda. 

Yesterday we got the good news that she is recovering from Covid .

I made this card for her when I worried most and it became like a therapy for me . It helped me deal with the situation.

Stay safe!
