Scrap FX - Blue Jeans

Hello!

 I love to wear blue jeans, a wonderful cool feeling, always practical and suitable for many occasions.

As I saw this awesome sneakers and a paper sheet from Maja Designs from the Denim and Friends collection I thought, great, that must be a masculine layout.

I used an old jeans pocket as background layer together with some cutting dies and tags.

Have a good time!

Maja Design - Waiting for Spring

Hello friends!

It's March now and everyone is waiting for spring because we have had enough of the snow and coldness. As the snow slowly melts and patches of green start to show, a whole

new world unfolds around you, offering a nature experience of a different kind.

As soon as the days start to draw out again shoots begin to show everywhere:

 the first to peek through the soil are the snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses.

I was able to discover them in my garden before winter came back.

 But what is one of my favorite sayings?

 

Now matter how long the winter 

Spring is sure to follow!

So I was inspired to make a springtime layout with some paper sheets
from the beautiful collection 'Vintage Romance'
together with some stamps, cutting dies (letters,circles,branches, frames, butterflies, tags, leaves),
lace, feathers, Art stones, old note paper, Distress inks,
a small book page from La Blanche
and a little paper doll from Tim Holtz.

some details

 the background paper 'When I saw you' has so wonderful delicate green stripes,
very subtly and suitable for beginning of spring

some little hearts in light green were a perfect addition
and I used this paper together with a lot of various cutting dies
oh, the word SUN is hidden on the right side beside
this sweet photo
it's no wonder, or?!

 

is like a message to us, that we have to go on and don't leave our way 
to make the sun shine on us again
 

Thanks for your visit!

Have a beautiful time!

New beginnings

Hello friends!

Start of spring and nobody notices.  We sinked in the snow.

But against that, you can do something or?!

I took the time to try something new for myself, it is the first page of a future junk journal. I have used pressed flowers, a way to preserve the snowdrops and let them bloom today suitable to the beginning of spring. 

Have a good time!

Let the Springtime begin :-)

Scrap FX Creativity

Welcome!

Today two new inspirations with some chipboards and stencils from Scrap FX.

As I saw the wordlet 'Creativity contagious - Pass it on'  I thought yes that's right and very suitable for an art journal page. I chose an grunge altered style with only few colours on a torned cardstock.

With stencil 'Splat Stencil'
and some background stamps, washi tape and a wonderful photo collage a right combination for me.

Creativity has a lot to do with experimenting and trying out new ideas and so it's always a pleasure to create new inspirations with the awesome products from Scrap FX.

++++++++++++++++++

.......and the next mixed media project, it's a canvas in steampunk style. I love this very creative style, it's always a new adventure to combine a lot of various materials and textures.

Create your own sunshine is the titel of this project.
