Workshops in Germany – Scrapbook-Werkstatt

Let me state it in short: I HAD A BLAST! What a wonderful store that is – Scrapbook-Werkstatt, wonderful products, wonderful hosts (the store owners are the sweetest and have a great way to make you feel home and comfy!), gorgeous students and ….my two PrimaGirls Tracie and Jen – ADORABLE and FUNNY! I had such a great but short time with them and we talked long through the night :)

Lasst es mich erstmal ganz kurz sagen: Das war’ne Wucht! So ein wunderschöner Laden – Scrapbook Werkstatt, wunderschöne Produkte, wunderbare Gastgeber (die beiden Besitzer, Mireia und Kristina sind die Knuffigsten und haben ein Händchen dafür, dass man sich absolut pudelwohl fühlt!), total liebe Teilnehmer und…meine zwei PrimaGirls Tracie und Jen – ZUM KNUTSCHEN und SCHIESSEN! Ich hatte soviel Spaß mit den Beiden und wir haben fast die ganze Nacht durchgequatscht :)

The workshops took place in this really cute store located in a half timbered house and it was amazing how creative and unique everbody’s outcome of my workshop was. I think this is always the best part for me, to see that the students like the techniques and that they take them and make them their own :)

Die Workshops fanden in dem süßen Laden, der ja in einem Fachwerkhaus untergebracht ist statt. Es war wirklich faszinierend zu sehen, wie vielfältig die Ergebnisse meiner Workshops waren. Ich denke, dass das für mich das Schönste am Workshop unterrichten ist, zu sehen, dass die Teilnehmer die Techniken, die ich zeige, mögen und diese nehmen und sich auf besondere Weise zu eigen machen :)

The winners of my Prima Prices- those pictures will be up on the Prima Donna Educator Blog soon too. I think I might be back soon  at this place ;)

Meine Gewinner der Prima Preise  – diese Bilder werden bald auch auf dem Prima Donna Educator Blog zu sehen sein. Ich denke ich werde irgendwann mal wieder in der Gegend sein ;)

Tattered Angels – Designteam :)

I’m beyond thrilled – I’m on cloud nine! I love Tattered Angels since they are on the market and actually I fell in Love right away with their Glimmer Mist when I was introduced to it by Vicky Chrisman a couple years ago  :) I’m so stoked! Can’t wait to work with all those wonderful people on the team :)

Ich bin totall begeistert– sozusagen auf Wolke 7! Ich  liebe Tattered Angels seit diese Firma auf dem Markt ist und ich bin damal sofort dem Glimmer Mist verfallen, nachdem mir Vicky Chrisman vor ein paar Jahren ihre Projekte damit gezeigt hat :) Ich bin echt totall baff! Kann es kaum erwarten mit all den wunderbaren Leuten im Team zu arbeiten :)

Layout: Wake Me Up *STM #102*

This week at Scrapping the Music we have a song by Green Day “Wake Me up when September ends” as  a tribute to Aleida- we  miss her a lot on our team and board. It has been a year since she passed away in this terrible car accident ever a reminder for me to live everyday!

Diese Woche haben wir bei Scrapping The Music den Green Day Song “Wake me up when september ends” – ein Tribut an Aleida – die wir im Team und im Forum sehr vermissen. Ein Jahr ist es her, seit sie in einem furchtbaren Autounfall verstarb – ein immerwährende Erinnerung für mich jeden Tag zu LEBEN!

“Wake me up when September ends”

Journaling: When  September comes, the days get shorter- the nature decides to slowly change and turns into darker color, I get melacholic. So many people I lost- so many I miss! It is the time to remember them! To remember change can be good – to remember life will always follow.

Supplies: 7Gypsies paper, Sassafrass Sticker Letters, Making Memories Paper, Prima Feltie, Acrylic Paint, .

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Ich kann es kaum erwarten Eure Werke zu sehen!
