DT Work: Sunshine Box *myStampBox*

A little sunshine for a friend who has a winter birthday :)

Ein wenig Sonnenschein für eine Freundin, die im Winter Geburtstag hat :)

*Sunshine Box*

I used the Wishing you Sunshine Stampset – and stamped the sun on my accordian style folded paper strip and heat embossed it. I used a metallic box which I had painted and then sanded again to release the embossed pattern before and then attached the folded paper strip inside.

I had used the “Splash Me a Lot” Alpha-Stampset for the Birthday wishes.

Wishing you a wonderful day with a little bit of sunlight :)

My favorite Layouts 2009

As last year I wanted to show my favorite layouts of the past year – so here they are:

Genau wie im letzten Jahr wollte ich meine Lieblingslayouts des vergangengen Jahres zeigen – so hier sind sie:

*Tongue*

Journaling: And while I’m speaking – I know I should stop. But I can’t….I just can’t hold my tongue! Oh Boy!

*Pictures are like Weapons*

Journaling: Have you ever thought about: how much influence photos have? How world history often had been changed by a couple photos or short movies?

*35 and still…”

*On Some Days*

Journaling reads: On some days all the beauty in the world is covered up by layers of terrible news and exhaustion!
*What I Like About You*

*Hello World* 

“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.

*Spring* 

*Believe it, you are beautiful*

Journaling: I’m sure others can relate to those…selfdoubt crank days! There are days when I do not like myself…to short, to big, to ugly…but that is not true of most of your friends – they think you are beautiful and you are.

 *Here Comes The Sun*

I hope you enjoyed this as I much as I did :) I’m still sick – I can’t believe it. Between Christmas and New Year’s I had one day where I felt good and from there it went downhill again. I lost 9 pounds – the only “positive” side effect- LOL. Oh well – it will be good soon :)

Ich hoffe Ihr habt dies genauso  genossen wie ich :) Ich bin leider immer noch krank – ich kann es kaum glauben. Zwischen Weihnachten und Neujahr gab es genau einen Tag an dem ich mich gut fühlte und von da aus ging es dann wieder bergab. Ich habe 4,5 kg verloren – der einzige “positive” Effekt – LOl. Na ja- was soll man machen – wird schon :)
