I am back from CHA Winter 2012 in L.A. – arrived this morning after more then 20 hours of traveling and the jet lag hits me hard today…just as you get you used to the 9 hour time difference you go back. But some yummie chocolate and tea keep me awake so far ;)

Before I show you some pictures of my trip to California (Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Park) I wanted to send out a reminder – the next Über*Media PanPastel Workshop starts actually this sunday.

If you want to learn all kinds of techniques with this amazing medium – this workshop is for you :)

Here are the details and the sign in info for this 6 week long Class

Über*Media PanPastel Online Class

I would love to see you there !

Huge hugs from snowy cold but sunny home sweet home ;)

Once again she wondered

….why she sticked around.

That sentence came to mind when I found this vintage photo at a flea market.

It really cracked me up and made me wonder, what this woman was thinking about when the photos was taken. Was she annoyed by the photographer? Anyway- LOL – I made the story up and this is my project for the Tattered Angels Booth using their new Product Line Plain Jane: Baseboard, Simply Sheer and Stained Glass and all of the four “old” paint products: Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Mist Chalkboard, Glimmer Glaze and Glimmer Glam

Other than the Tattered Angels Paint Media I used some awesome products of the Color Connection Companies: Prima Marketing, Pink Paislee and Canvas Corp. It was fun mixing it all.

I love working with burlap . The rawness of this material ist just so cool!

and of course I love texture :)

mixed media to the brim —-

Wishing you an amazing day!

Finally I can share projects I created for CHA since the show just opened :)

Here is a canvas I did for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L – so much fun to play in a different way with adhesives:

Loved creating the background texture with the new Adhesive Sheets and Utee :)

And never forget…photo corners can be pretty versatile – and make up for great flowers.

Be happy and bloom too today :)

supplies: Webster’s Pages, Pink Paislee; Prism; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L MyStik; Golden Gel Medium; Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Chalkboard and Glimmer Screen; Tim Holtz Type Charms; Hambly Screenprints; Cheesecloth

I am longing for the days where you can sit outside and have a coffee at one of our many street cafes here. The funny thing is that our weather is so bad in Hamburg- lot’s of rain, that we actually go out A LOT . So you see bars and cafe’s right now that have a box with nice woolen blankets outside as soon as one little sunray is visible. I just love the vibe and feel when the life of a city takes place on the street.

Are you longing for some sun too?

Have a great and….sunny day ;)

will always crack me up – we laughed so much in Amsterdam doing this silly pose.

Who says working isn’t fun sometimes- LOL. A., Sharon Laakkonen, Wendy Senger and Kelly Goree doing the stop motion. All the people around us must have thought that there were several screws loose – LOL.  And that reminds me…I really want to go back to Amsterdam. It is such an awesome city.

supplies:  Studio2Mer, Rose Moka letters, SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L E-Z Runner; Glass Pebbles by Eco Green Crafts

I wish you an amazing day today and a great weekstart!

I wish you a wonderful day! I’m having a really bad cold right now and hope it will be over soon….but there is a saying in German: “Without medicine a cold will stay for a whole week, with medicine it will stay for 7 days.” Two Days down….5 more to go ;)
