Samstag in einer Woche habe ich Geburtstag und das ist immer etwas schwierig für mich. Mein Stiefpapa hatte ja am Tag vor mir Geburtstag und seit er gestorben ist, bin ich ob der Erinnerungen immer sehr traurig die Woche davor. Oft haben wir gemeinsam Feiern geplant und wir haben uns gegenseitig aufgezogen mit angeblichen Witzgeschenken und ich wurde gebeten ihm ein neutrales Geschenkpapier zu verpassen, damit er es auch für mein Geschenk wieder verwenden könne. All so Kleinigkeiten. Fröhlich stimmt aber, dass ich dieses Jahr mit Schwägerin,Schwager, Neffe und Nichte feiern kann, die uns aus den USA besuchen kommen. Ich mache daher mal eine Woche Blog-Urlaub! Ich sehe Euch dann in einer Woche!!!

Saturday in a week is my birthday and the week before is always a bit sad for me. My beloved stepdad had his birthday a day before mine and he died 1998. We have often had planned a party together- tying young and old together, made fun of each other with fun presents the weeks before and he never forgot to tell me to use neutral colored wrapping paper for his present so that he could use it the other day for mine too. All those little memories. This year I have a happy feature though, my sister in law, my brother in law, niece and nephew are coming from the States and party with me. And therefore I will take a week long break from blogging! See you in a week!!!

Layout: Technique Nerd

Das war ja ein spannender Abend gestern – LOL – die Party auf unserer Straße ging bis spät in die Nacht.

Well that was pretty exciting yesterday- the Germany vs. Turkey Soccer Game – the party on our street was going on till late night.

Hier ein Layout, was ja mal lange fällig war ;)

Here is a layout that I should have done ages ago ;)

Technique Nerd

journaling: My weakness: I can’t walk by anything I could use for a scrapbooking technique. Paints, Pigments, Householditems!

The little bubbles say:
How many different colored pigments fit on my shelf?
We can use the tin foil for grilling AND for a stamping technique.
When does HE realize that his shaving cream is in my room?


Techniques: I used the Tactile Background technique – the green cardboard paper on the right. For the journaling on the photos- saying Acrylic Paints, Pigments, Stamps and Watersoluble Crayons – I used Word Art – mirrored the writing and printed it on transparency.

Supplies: Danyeela Patterned Paper, Elsie KI Fabric, Cardstock, Embossing Powder, Acrylic Paints, Punchinella, Hambly ScreenPrints Overlay, Transparancy, Prima Lace, 7 Gypsies Tag, Brads, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, Uniball Markers

Viel Spaß und Sonnenschein heute!

Wishing you fun and sunshine today!

Studio DaphNat: Freezer Paper Stencil Technique Result

Eine meiner neuen Lieblingstechniken – Die Freezer Paper Stencil Technik – die Daphne und ich vor einigen Tagen gezeigt haben. Ich habe tausend Ideen im Kopf- LOL. Aber erstmal diese umgesetzte – ein Holzblock für die Wand – Ich kann ja wagen zu träumen ,:)

This is going to be my new favorite technique – The Freezer Paper Stencil TechniqueDaphne and I showed a couple days ago. I have so many ideas for this in my head – LOL – but first this one – a wooden block for the wall – I can dare to dream ;)

I wanted to have lot’s of textures, so I cut the canvas after I uplied Hambly Screen Prints Rub ons on top. On the wood I did some stencil stamping, crackle paint applying and such :-) I’m sorry but the photo does not do this justice- I think it looks much better in real life- LOL – but the light is bad today- it rains cat’s and dogs ;-)

Schaut mal was Daphne gezaubert hat! Es ist sicher total genial!

And don’t forget to take a look at Daphne‘s creation! I’m sure it is phenomenal!

Prima Donna Workshop – June 14th 2008 – The Photos

Einige haben meinen Bericht vom Samstag noch vermisst – hier ist er – ich habe nur noch auf Fotos gewartet – einige der Fotos sind von Andrea :-) Es war ein grandioser Tag. Ganz entspannt mit einer wunderbaren Gastgeberin Liz, die sich mit ihren Cupcake Variationen wieder einmal selbst übertroffen hat. Ich glaube das Minialbum hat allen Spaß gemacht und Farbe ist für die meisten kein “Problem” mehr.

Some have missed a post how it was on saturday- well here it is – I just waited for some photos- some of those photos are from Andrea :-) It was an awesome day. Totally relaxed with an amazin host Liz who did an unbelievable job yet again with her cupcake variations. I think everybody had fun creating the minialbum and paint is not a “Problem” at all for most of the attending loveleys :-)

Creative Mess:

Cupcakes

we all!

Sylvia and me (heheh- Sylvia – I like this better- I look thinner ;-) )

Fienchen, me and Drea – you girls are the coolest!
