This wallhanger was actually inspired by the “Wizard of Oz” and the scene in the Poppy Field

Zu diesem Wallhanger wurde ich durch den “Zauberer von Oz” und die Szene im Mohnfeld inspiriert

*Hope Wallhanger*

“We must hurry and get back to the road of yellow brick” symbolizes the Key for Hope for me. The girls must hurry back to the road of art, light and music etc.

Supplies: eMOTions Paper by Nat Kalbach, Vintage Wire Hanger, Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas, Liquitex Clear Gesso, Eco Green Crafts Acrylic Paints , Eco Green Crafts Paris Trunk Dye Inks, Oil Pastels, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Ranger’s Grungeboard, Tattered Angels Crepe, My Little Shoebox Letter Stickers, Crafty Secret Fairy Sheet, SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L™.

Techniques: I used clear gesso on the sticky back canvas and added texture to it with a comb and an old small lid. After it dried I used Eco Green Craft Acrylic Paint - thinned down and added it to several spots, after dried I used the Dye Inks. For the Grungeboard Circles I used a mixture of Dye Inks and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and adhered them to the canvas. I fringed the edges of the canvas and applied the piece to the eMOTions Paper, added some of the words and painted lightly poppy petals around the grungeboard circles. I sprayed the Crepe Ribbon with Glimmer Mist and ruffled it in a way that the girls mounted on Foam Pads would look as standing on it. After applying the Letters and attaching the folded grungeboard wings I sprayed over the surface again with Tattered Angels Golden Glimmer Mist to unify the look.

Can you believe that summer is almost over? I have a hard time to think about this! Here is a layout that I created with a photo from an amazing hike in Zion Nationalpark last year.

Könnt Ihr glauben, dass der Sommer fast vorüber ist? Mich macht der Gedanke ganz traurig. Hier ist übrigens ein Layout mit einem Foto vom letzten Jahr - von einer Wanderung im Zion Nationalpark.

I love the color combo of pink and orange - so the wonderful Herbier Collection was great to use for this! And the gorgeous Transparency from the Baigneuses Nostalgie Collection gave it a great finish.

Orange und Pink sind echt eine coole Farbmischung !  Die Herbier Collection macht wirklich Spaß und das Transparent von  Baigneuses Nostalgie Collection passte perfect dazu.

Have a wonderful day!

I was thrilled to surprisingly find the new issue of Somerset Home in my mailbox. My “I Love New York”-FridgeMagnet is published in there along with so many wonderful wonderful projects by other artists - this magazine is awesome!

Ich habe mich total gefreut überraschenderweise die neueste Ausgabe der Somerset Home in meinem Briefkasten zu finden. Mein “I Love New York”-Kühlschrank Magnet ist darin veröffentlicht - mit ganz vielen wunderbaren wunderbaren anderen Projekten  - dieses Magazin ist grandios!

Thanks for letting me share:)

huge hugs

Tattered Angels Glaze makes for a great resist. If you apply it first and let it dry and then use Glimmer Mist or Chalkboard on top - the Glaze will resist it. So it makes for some fun techniques. Like this one.

Tattered Angels Glaze ist ein gutes Medium for Resist Techniken. Wenn man es zuerst aufträgt und trocknen läßt und dann darüber Glimmer Mist oder Chalkboard darüber sprüht - dann nimmt das Glaze die Sprühfarben nicht an. Man kann schön herumexperimentieren- so wie hier.

Have a happy week Euch eine tolle Woche

We had a wonderful time in London celebrating our anniversary. The only downside is that I got sick the last day and spent the whole day in the hotel room - let me just say the trip home wasn’t too pleasant. But I will only share the fun pix with you

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in London und haben unseren Hochzeitstag gefeiert. Das einzige Negative war, dass ich am letzten Tag krank wurde und den ganzen Tag im Hotel verbrachte- nur so viel sei gesagt, der Flug nach hause war kein Spaß. Aber ich werde Euch nur die SpaßFotos zeigen

*Beautiful Clouds out of plane window*

*St. Paul’s - our hotel was right there*

*on our way to Tate Modern - St. Paul’s in the background*

*Tate Modern Love*

this installation was called Mixed Media- so fun:

*Brick Lane Market and Spitalfield Market ….ohhhhh yummie*

yummie Bagel - the place is always booming

some people dancing swing on the street- love it

*peek*

* Temple Church - closed this weekend *

*Walk on the waterfront*

J. had made a reservation at a very nice restaurant L’Autre Pied - we had a very yummie 7 course dinner and enjoyed a good range of wonderful wines that were part of the tasting session. Thanks hubs for this wonderful weekend

Have a good start into your week

Euch einen tollen Wochenanfang

Today we celebrate our 7th anniversary and actually in two days we will be together for 11 years. It has been a wonderful time - and there are so many things that I cherish

I love that we are the best friends and that we can laugh to tears and goof around at the same things….like this:

I love that we both travel whenever we can and talk about everything - and for that matter be silent together too

I love that you can take my moods and quirkyness and that you are always pushing my forward in all I do

I love that you are so creative yourself and play all kinds of instruments….even the Didgeridoo -LOL (ok- that is a lie - but I love the Contrabass and guitar )

I love that you make the best yummie breakfast for me on the weekends - and you do as much in the household as I do - so that we both feel well about it

I love that we both love to spent time with friends, enjoy good food (ohh - I mentioned it twice…mhhh- LOL) and a good microbrewed beer so much.

 I love that we are such a great team and never forget to laugh or make fun even if we have rough day

I love you because of a lot of other reasons- that I won’t post in public - LOL - but will tell you later

I love you not although you are how you are but because you are how you are. Period

Hüpft mal auf ihren Blog wenn Ihr sehen wollt, was ich geschrieben habe

When I heard our theme is going to be Resist Tchniques this month on the Educator blog I put my thinking cap on and one morning I woke up with an idea and it worked great Here is the out come and the tutorial on how to do it

You simply sew around the canvas fabric, then add it to your cardstock, layer the Framed Font Compact and Frame and add journaling - and there you go - a fun - textured - wallpaper like looking - Card or background.

What a summer! We had such an amazing summer so far and the great weather made it up for not traveling these months.

Was für ein Sommer! Wir hatten einen so unglaublich schönen Sommer bisher und das gute Wetter hat es uns leichtgemacht, in diesen Monaten nicht zu reisen.

*Lots of BBQ on the Roof*

*Flowers*

*Relaxing in the Hammock and reading the newspaper*

*Beautiful Sky*
