Tattered Angels: The Power of Colors

Fall is in full force here and although I’m a total summer girl- I have always also loved Fall. Things are calming down and …although especially in rainy Hamburg…I get the blues some days in Fall, I absolutely love the colors that nature has to offer at this time around!

I love to reflect my feelings above about fall in the colors of my layout “Simple Beautiful Fall”:

For the blue feeling that goes along with fall I chose the wonderful Chalkboard Colors Cornflower and Concord. I had spread some white acrylic paint over the Garden Lattice Screen and then sprayed the Chalkbaords right over it into the still wet acrylic paint. For the beautiful Simple Sayings Title from Heidi Swapps Collection and the wonderful frame that I cut out of the new paper Misting Magic, I used the Glimmer Mist Fall Color Sugar Maple and the Winter Color Jingle Bells. I used the same Colors also for the Framed Fonts.

Colors are such a wonderful way to express feelings and emotions- it is one of my favorite design tools- try it :)

If you want to visit one of my workshops in the future I would love to have you – or contact me if you want me to come. You can find me teaching some new Tattered Angels Workshops for example here:

Paper & Co Show 2010, France – 26-28 November 2010

Photos: USA Trip Fall 2010- Part I

What a journey – what a beautiful and inspiring road trip! Seriously – I feel so happy and relaxed right now- it is kind of scary- LOL. We landed in Denver, Colorado late in the afternoon – totally jet lagged and chipper- which didn’t stop us from meeting Liz Hicks for dinner at a fun Mexican Restaurant :)

Was für eine Reise – so ein schöner und inspirierender Roadtrip! Ehrlich – ich fühl mich so glücklich und entspannt zur Zeit- ist schon fast unheimlich – LOL. Wir landeten in Denver, Colorado  am späten Nachmittag – ziemlich fertig wegen der 8 Stunden Zeitunterschied, was uns jedoch nicht davon abhielt, uns mit Liz Hicks zum Abendessen in einem Mexikanischen Restaurant zu treffen :)

The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast with Wendy and Rachel from Tattered Angels and then I went with the girls to see the warehouse- it was so cool and fun! We later went out for lunch to a Seriously Texas BBQ place- LOL – fun name – and it was sad to say good bye for now :(

Am nächsten Morgen hatten wir ein grandioses Frühstück mit Wendy und Rachel von Tattered Angels und ich fuhr dann it den Mädels zum Firmenlager – es war so cool und hat echt Spaß gemacht! Später waren wir noch bei einem BBQ – Texas Style- Restaurant und haben zu Mittag gegessen – ich war wirklich traurig Tschüss zu sagen :(

We started our roadtrip by driving to the Rocky Mountains National Park.

Wir begannen unseren Roadtrip mit der Fahrt in den Rocky Mountains National Park.

We did an amazing hike and I just felt so good to be out in the nature all day. The fall colors were beautiful.

Wir haben eine wunderschöne lange Wanderung gemacht und es war einfach schön, sich den ganzen Tag in der Natur aufzuhalten. Die Herbstfarben waren beeindruckend.

Lot’s of bugleing elks in the evening and even some fighting ones to see – impressive !

Viele röhrende Hirsche – und sogar einige kämpfende – ziemlich beeindruckend !

I really like the Rocky Mountains a lot! We continued our road trip after two days and went to Wyoming up to the Grand Tetons National Park.

Ich mag die Rockies sehr! Nach zwei Tagen ging es weiter nach Wyoming hoch zum Grand Tetons National Park.

USA_066_GrandTeton_17

We did some wonderful hikes there too and even got up one morning to see the sunrise at the lake which was pretty …and chilly- LOL

Wir haben auch dort ein paar schöne Wanderungen unternommen und sind sogar einen Morgen sehr früh aufgestanden, um den Sonnenaufgang am See anzuschauen, was sehr schön anzuschauen…und schön kalt war – LOL

We saw a Mama Moose with her baby in the….Moose Pond – LOL – go figure!

Wir sahen MamaElch mit ihrem Baby im ….Elch Teich – hehehe- was für eine Überraschung!

My favorite Place in the Grand Tetons was the Oxbow Bend

Mein Lieblingsplatz in den Grand Tetons war Oxbow Bend

The next stop was Yellowstone National Park – I won’t spare you with you pictures ;) but this is for another post.

Der nächste Stop war dann im Yellowstone National Park – ich werde Euch die Bilder nicht vorenthalten ;) – aber die sind für einen anderen Post.

Have a good one :)

Altered: Free Canvas

This Canvas uses some supplies I really had a hard time to use – it is this feeling when you don’t want to use something that you love so much because you fear  that the outcome of your work wouldn’t do this special piece justice. I had this feeling with my Vintaj Pieces and as well as with the buttons which I had hold on to so long. But every clinging has to come to an end – LOL – and here you see the outcome of letting go…a canvas

Diese Leinwand besteht aus Materialien, bei denen ich Mühe hatte, sie zu verwenden – es ist dieses Gefühl, dass man etwas, dass man unglaublich liebt nicht verwenden will, weil man fürchtet, dass Ergebnis der Arbeit würde dem Lieblingsstück nicht gerecht werden. Ich hatte dieses Gefühl bei meinen Vintaj Stücken und auch bei den Knöpfen, an denen ich nun schon so lange festgehalten habe. Aber jedes Klammern muß auch mal ein Ende haben – LOL – und daher seht Ihr nun das Ergebnis des Loslassens …eine Leinwand

*Free*

I am you
You are ME
You are the waves
I am the ocean
Know this and be
FREE,
be devine

Supplies: Canvas, Gesso by Golden, Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens, Vintaj Embellishments – Hardware- Beadcups – Washers- Altered Blankets etc., Eco Green Crafts Acrylic Paints, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Cheesecloth, Tissue Paper, Staz On, Buttons, Gel Medium, Pink Paislee Letter Stickers, Canvas Fabric

I think it was good to let go….I love it :)

Ich denke es war gut Loszulassen ….ich mag es :)
