Tick Tock Tag

Hello,

another week, another challenge at Simon Says Stamp. This week it was Tick Tock.


So i thought of a tag. For the ´background i used a Tim Holtz Stencil with clocks and Distress inks Pumice Stone and Iced Spruce. The edge is distress with Vintage Photo and i used the Prima Distress Tool to roughen the edge.

The stamp (Archival Jet Black) should be in the lower center but it fell of the acrylic block and landed where it now is, a little off center. I made the best out of it and stamped some more clocks and hands with Archival Sepia.

The flowers are by Prima Marketing, the Chipboard clock, the flower ribbon and the swirls too. For the flower center i used flatback pearls.

Hope to see you next week with a new project.

Little blue box

Hey blogger friends out there,

today i want to share with you my little blue box i made for this weeks challenge at SSS: Paste
It is good to have a decorated box on hand in case you need it.

I used a small cardboard box. I sprayed it with 3 different Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.

 The bottom of the box i decorated with the Structure paste. I made a little flower border.

The lid is decorated with some lace and pearl "ribbon".

On top i glued some Wild Orchid flowers. I got them yesterday. The first time i ordered from them.

The flowers are georgeous. I glued some Prima leaves on and a little butterfly. I think its from 
BoBunny.

 

Today is a wonderful day....

After 2 hard weeks, filled with tears, sorrow and pain, i had a great day today.
I got a call from our radio station (BB-Radio) that we are listening to, during work. Last friday i was taking part on a competition for 2 flight tickets to London and 200 € pocket money! And today they called me, to tell me that i have won.....
Great, isn't it!?
I asked my dad if he would like to come with me. He said yes. I think this will be a good relief for us.
I am such a "great Britain Fan" and ,of course, i love London. I have been there one time in 1997 and it was to less time to see all the interesting thing.
So today i was looking for a good and not so expensive hotel. I was also looking through my London guidebooks to think about where i would like to go to.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Tag for February

Hey there...

this week i worked on the Tim Holtz Tag for February. For his Chalkboard technique i used a Cameo stamp so that this tag also fits for the Simon SaysStamp challenge: A Cameo Appearance.
I think I heat embossed the powder a little too much. It was not so easy for the chalk to stay on the paper. But for my first try i think it looks ok.

This Tag is dedicated to my Mom who died last week. It´s the first thing i created since that day. I think she would have loved it. I miss her a lot.

Non crafty things

Hey everyone,

today i have a non crafty post for you all.

Earlier this week we ordered a small aquarium, a Dennerle Nano cube 30 Complete plus.
We want it to stay on our computer table. The package arrived on thursday. After work we shopped some plants and wood pieces for decoration. On friday we started to decorate an fill the aquarium.
It is going to be the home for some red  and blue shrimps and a male Betta Splendens with 2 female Bettas.

That´s how it looks like for now. It´s our first try on Aquascaping.

Assemblage Clock by Tim Holtz

Hi,

i like the Assamblage Clock by Tim Holtz. I always wanted to make my own. Now i did!
I would like to enter my clock into this weeks challenge over at SSS:  A is for.... ===> Assamblage Clock!!
First i covered the whole Clock with Gesso. On some parts i used structure paste. After everything was dry i used different spraypaints like Tattered Angels Plain Jane Baseboard Ivory, Ranger Perfekt Pearls in different colors and some Metallic rub on colors.

The inside is covered with G45 Paper, French Country and some Plain Paper. I cut out some Butterfly wings and glued them behind a fraktured Doll from Tim. The doll i colored with Ranger Alcohol ink . And there are also some Flowers inside.

 

 The front is decorated with some small gears.

There is a Prima flower i sprayed with adhesive and sprinkled with glitter. I glued a small Clock inside.the middle of this flower. I also used some Bling and Prima ribbon.

On top there are some Prima flowers to and i added a little Clock key with a ribbon.

First post 2014

Hello and welcome to my first post in 2014

I´m starting the new year with a tag i made for the 12 Tags of 2014- January by Tim Holtz.
I also want to join the SSS Monday Challenge: Anything goes.
I used distress Stain Vintage Photo for the background. Then I used the TH Layered stencil and Vintage Photo Distress ink. I inked the edges with Walnut stain ink. I used the rub on from TH. The clockis embossed with fine silver Embossing powder.
I took 3 ChitChat stickers from Tim and also the Tickets are TH. On Top there is some grey seem binding.
I think i will use this tag for a good friends Birthday.

I hope i will be back soon with a new project.

Merry Christmas!

Vom Himmel Hoch

Vom Himmel hoch
kommt nichts mehr her.
Dort war schon Ausverkauf -
der Laden ist leer.
Die Engel und alles,
was da sonst noch schwebt,
hat bisher nur
für die Menschen gelebt.
Immer im Dienst
und ständig auf Trapp,
vorbei mit dem Fliegen,
die Flügel sind schlapp.
Erfüllten viel mehr
als nur das Soll.
Die Himmelsbewohner
haben die Schnauze voll.
Gott sagt, sie sollen
erst dann wieder beginnen,
wenn die Menschen sich
endlich darauf besinnen,
dass das All, die Natur,
der Tag, die Nacht
und die Welt nicht allein
nur für sie gemacht.


In diesem Sinne wünsche ich allen ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und alles Gute für das neue Jahr.
 

The last roses

Hey everyone out there!

I have not been here for a while now. As always, there is much to do in the garden during summer.

I tried to grow some potatoes and carots, chard and radish in big pots and it worked.

Today i cut the last roses in my garden. Don´t they look beautiful. I love roses.

Here are some photos from our garden this summer.

Some of my hostas.

 The tearing heart.

 My rhododendron.

Two of the many columbine that grow here.

I have them in different colors.

 My Eden rose

 

The big bags where i planted my potatoes. Next year i need bigger ones!

I not only spent a lot of time in the garden, i also spend a lot of time crocheting. I made 3 hats (one for our niece and 2 for our cute little nephews that where born in Juli) a scarf(for our niece) and some granny squares, that i´d like to use for a blanket.

I and i found a wonderful blog that i love to read.

Aiken house & gardens

Carolyn and her husband have such a beautiful garden and so many vintage things in their house. 

I could watch the photos every day. I wish i would find such nice thing here.

 

I hope that i have more time for papercrafting soon, so i can share something with you.

On Saturday i will goo to a craft and hobby fair with a friend. I hope i will find some of the things i am looking for.

And on monday i will go to a concert of my favourite band: SUEDE.

See you soon!!!
