What a great idea Cuchy for a group project. I teach a scrappy class in an elementary school and this would be a wonderful display for the classroom.

Hello… I love this. I love the fleur de lis you used on the bottom. I recently saw you do a video for the Heart Canvas for Stampington… where did you get that fleur de lis stencil? thank you.. love your style.

cuchy
Great. I love it.
You gave me an idea. it could be funny making this as a group project. Each girl would make a tag with a different technique to complete the whole garland.
It’s a beautiful decor.
Hugs, Cuchy

Amsterdam and KKD – Photos
What a whirlwind kind of days are laying behind me – so much fun! Last week I flew in to Amsterdam to meet Wendy from Tattered Angels as well as the wonderful Kelly Goree .
Was für ein paar Wirbelsturmtage liegen da hinter mir – so viel Spaß! Letzte Woche flog ich nach Amsterdam um Wendy von Tattered Angels und die wunderbare Kelly Goree zu treffen.

We had a wonderful day and evening together doing some sightseeing and having good food and laughing a whole lot :)
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Tag und Abend zusammen und sind viel rumgelaufen, hatten gutes Essen und haben uns halb scheckig gelacht :)

After a great breakfast the three of us went shopping, visited the flower market and then met Sharon and Adam from Prima for Lunch. There were a lot of fun people in costums running around – here are some that made a fun joke on the Amsterdam Slogan “I AMsterdam”.
Nach einem wunderbaren Frühstück machten wir drei uns auf den Weg zum Shoppen, besuchten den Blumenmarkt und trafen dann Sharon und Adam von Prima zum Mittagessen. Es gab eine Menge Leute in witzigen Kostümen – hier sind ein paar die eine schöne Anspielung zum Amsterdam Slogan “I AMsterdam” machten.

Then the five of us went to Zaandam – a Dutch Heritage site – with lot’s of windmills where we saw…windmills
Dann machten wir fünf uns auf nach Zaandam – einem Ort mit vielen Windmühlen…wo wir folgendes sahen: Windmühlen

Mr Sparkle who took a photo :)


and….PIGS!!!! (little Insider- LOL)
Und…SCHWEINE (kleiner Insider- LOL)

I had so much fun with the three girls and Adam – I laughed so much- it was awesome!
Ich hatte so viel Spaß mit den drei Mädels und Adam – ich habe echt so viel gelacht- es war zu witzig!
We had a great dinner and after a short night sleep we went to KKD – Kars Tradeshow – set up the classroom and table and got going- lot’s of work- very exhausting -but super fun! Two days :)
Wir hatten eine wunderbares Abendessen und nach einer kurzen Nacht ging es zu KKD – Workshopraum aufgebaut und den Produkttisch – und schon gings los mit sehr viel Arbeit- aber es war grandios! Zwei Tage lang :)
Some Banners and Layouts in the back

I so loved meeting so many fun people and see how much fun they had working with the Tattered Angels Products- I have to say…I love working at Trade Shows! I also met some online friends- which was really the coolest!
Ich hatte viel Spaß so viele Leute zu treffen und zu sehen wie viel Spaß diese beim Verwenden von Tattered Angels Produkten hatten – ich muß sagen – Ich liebe es auf Trade Shows zu arbeiten. Ich traf auch ein paar meiner Online Freunde, das war wirklich das coolste!
We had another fun evening in Amsterdam – before we fell into bed dog tired!
Wir hatten noch einen weiteren schönen Abend in Amsterdam – bevor wir todmüde ins Bett fielen!
Wishing you a wonderful day :)
Wünsche Euch noch einen tollen Tag :)

Oh, du warst in Zaandam, der Heimatstadt meiner Mutter ;) Da war ich seit Jahren nicht mehr…früher sind wir da immer hin zum Shoppen, damals als meine Oma noch lebte und in Oostzaan gewohnt hat und wir sie besucht haben. Und A´dam ist klasse, oder? Da muss ich auch mal wieder hin.
LG, Maja

Layout: Crazy Fun
Just for fun.
*Crazy Fun*

Journaling: Brick Lane Market is so inspiring and crazy! I try to go everytime we are in London. London June 2009
Supplies: Anthropologie Color Book Cover, Golden Montana Spray Paints, selfmade stencils, Tattered Angels STencils, Sassafrass lass Border, Prima Centers, October Afternoon Letter Stickers, 7Gypsies Tag, 3L Scrapbook Adhesives Photo Tape
I created my own stencils – trees and circles and used also some Tattered Angels’ Stencils and spraypainted over them on top of a colorbook cover. I sewed down the Borders.
I wanted to reflect the crazyness of this place in my background – graffiti-like.
I guess I will never ever see this layout again since it was just kept by a magazine that requested this layout but just doesn’t care enough to tell their submitting people when their layouts were published nor to send them the complimentary issues nor to send them back the layouts. Somebody else had shown me that my other layout I had sent in at the same time was published- and I haven’t even gotten that one back. So maybe it was published- maybe not – I don’t care- here I share :)
Wishing you an amazing day!
-
Carrie
That is a really cute! Lots of color and a really cute design.
-
Kim Sonksen
I *heart* the background – it totally reflects the feel of the huzzle and buzzle you see in the pictures. Wicked
-
sylvia
?? weird story with the mag, anyhow, it’s a very cool layout. did you visit STAMP this weekend? a street arts festival in altona. it was cool, i was thinking of you there was some urban artmaking going on as well.
-
Heidi Kelley
FUN! and I love the graffiti-esque feel. Awesomely beautiful and grunge-tastic. :)
-
Sue Clarke
Glad you shared!
Fun, exciting, tons of color and movement…I’m glad that you had a photo of your fun LO Nat.

Hope Wallhanger
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.
-
milkcan
This is so, so fabulous! Where on earth did you get that adorable hanger?
-
Heidi Kelley
SO CUTE! Love the sentiment! And that crepe ribbon is superb. **HUGS**
-
Karen
So cool how you used your inspiration. It’s literal, but not really. I love that!
-
Sue Clarke
Awesome message…I love it!
Funny that I did an art journal page today that had the characters from The Wizard of Oz on it.
The crepe ribbon is super cool as a “carpet” to support the girls. -
Andrea MacDonald
I love it!
-
sylvia
love the idea of adding texture with a comb… must try this out. lovely hanger all in all as well…. i have some leftover canvas, maybe i should give this a try…
