Hausfrau or ….the 50s

Don’t laugh at me ….this layout was something I was smiling while doing it, tongue in cheak included and photoless.

I totally love  the wonderful images on the Vintage Street Market Family Paper Pack especially for a while now I have a nack for 50s clothing and last CHA you could have seen me wearing a nice 50s Sailor dress (and I have a new style dress for the coming CHA ;) ) . I love 50s furniture too.

But there is one thing that I really don’t wish back….the way how a women’s path was determined  back then. I think we are very fortunate today that the way how women are treated and the possibilties that women have nowadays  have changed so much. Although….a bit of gentlemen attitude by men could definetly come back (DUDE you could help get my suitcase up in the baggage net in the train…and NO you do not have to let the door crash into my face and YES…even though I act as if I do not want you to treat me special because I’m a woman…I love it – keep going- hahahha) – LOL.

Good thing my hubs is a true gentleman – he laughs about my attempts in doing as if I don’t care- so if you read it ….here you go…truth out!

A little Memo- on – yes I like it clean – but no – I’m not a Hausfrau :)

I used my new yum yum Tonic Studios Border Punches with the Papers and also with my all time favorite metallic paper sheet from the Dimestore Vogue Kit.

What do you like from the 50s?

Have a gorgeous day

    Although I call myself a domestic goddess I really am not a hausfrau (at least I don’t think so). I do like the 1950’s postcard-type items that have the “traditional” woman on them with a modern day quote. One of my favorites is the woman in bed with a smile on her face and saying “I dreamed my whole house was clean”.

    Hi Nat, ich verfolge schon seit einiger Zeit deinen Blog und jetzt musste ich doch “laut schmunzeln” und mich mal melden :-) Ich komme gerade ins philosophieren und ins grüben wer bei uns die typische Hausfrau ist… das wechselt eigentlich zwischen meinem Mann und mir. Ha ha. Ich mag Dein Layout, das ist so wunderbar nostalgisch!

    Hi Nat, i love your LO! It´s so clean! ;-) I like the clothes from the 50s! I´m not a Hausfrau, too. Even if it is a part of my roles in my life.
    Wish you a tidy day ;-)

Secret Santa Ornament Swap 2011

It is this time of the year again: We will have the Secret Santa Ornament Swap and it is the 5th Year Anniversary- WOOOWW- I can’t believe it.

If you would like to create one cute little ornament for someone please email me till next Tuesday November 15  at nathalie.kalbach(at)gmail.com. Grab the logo, link to my blog and tell that you play along and spread the word.

Due to organization everyone who wants to play along has to be willing to ship internationally. Email me your address. I will email you your happy recipent by the 19th of November. You have to commit to send out the ornament the latest by December 1st! If you think you can’t keep up with this deadline, please do not play along – I don’t want any sad faces here!!! One year one person did not receive her ornament – but it was sent out. It is always a risc here -but I can’t take responsibility. We can only trust each other and trust the mail system. Send me a picture of your ornament by December 1st. After December 15th I will show all the ornaments on my blog :-)

Es ist wieder so weit! Auch dieses Jahr gibt es eine Auflage des Geheimen Weihnachtsbaumanhänger Wichtelns, die 5. Auflage. :-) 

Wenn Ihr also Lust habt einen Anhänger zu basteln und diesen an jemanden weiterzuschicken, dann meldet Euch  bis Dienstag, den 15. November bei mir per Email bis Sonntag: nathalie.kalbach(at)gmail.com. Schnappt Euch das Logo für Euren Blog, linkt meinen Blog und verteilt die Kunde :)

Aus Organisationsgründen kann ich dieses Jahr nur Leute annehmen, die auch International versenden würden (die meisten wollten das sowieso und es ist schwierig alle gerecht zu verteilen, wenn es nur im eigenen Land versandt werden möchte) Schreibt mir Eure Adresse. Ich emaile Euch dann zum 19.November den Namen Eures Empfängers! Der Anhänger muss bis zum 01. Dezember versandt worden sein! Wenn Ihr diesen Termin nicht einhalten könnt, dann meldet Euch bitte bitte nicht an, ich möchte niemanden enttäuscht sehen! Vorletztes Jahr gab es eine Person, die ihren Anhänger nicht erhalten hat, aber rausgeschickt wurde er. Es gibt immer ein Risiko- aber die Verantwortung kann ich hierfür nicht übernehmen. Wir können uns nur gegenseitig vertrauen und das gilt auch für das Versandsystem. Schickt mir von Eurem Anhänger bis 01. Dezember ein Bild. Ab dem 15. Dezember zeige ich dann alle Anhänger :-)

 

Last year we had 22 participants and you can see all the awesome and different ornaments here – it’s a lot of fun.

Letztes Jahr haben 22 Leute mitgemacht und Ihr könnt all die grandiosen und unterschiedlichen Anhänger hier sehen – es hat so viel Spaß gemacht!

Have a great day :)

Beauty of the Nature

Traveling is something I really love – well you know that huh? One of my favorite trips was going to Yellowstone last year – Soooo beautiful there! And here we go a layout about the beauty of the nature using the Vintage Street Market Family Fun Kit.

Reisen ist ja etwas was ich liebe, das wisst Ihr aber ja schon, ne? Eine meiner Lieblingsreisen war Yellowstone letztes Jahr – soooo schön dort! Und daher nun ein Layout über die Schönheit der Natur mit dem Vintage Street Market Family Fun  Kit.

Beauty

I used some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Colors to change the background color and then used a Crafter’s Workshop Template with Modeling Paste and sprayed again. I flicked some Glimmer Glaze on top.

Für den Hintergrund habe ich Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist verwendet und ein Crafter’s Workshop Template mit Modeling Paste und habe es erneut besprüht. Und natürlich dürfen ein paar Glimmer Glaze Tropfen nicht fehlen.

Supplies: Vintage STreet Market Family Fun Papers, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glaze, Lascaux Modeling Paste, Canvas Corp Twine and Cork, PanPastels, Faber Castell Journeling Pen, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Tape and 3D Foam Pads

I love how versatile the papers are and that you can also use them in a more grungy than vintagey approach :)

Diese Papiere sind wirklich vielseitig und man muss sie nicht nur für Vintage-Layouts verwenden.

Are you scrapbooking photos about a landscape only also or do you always scrap photos that have people in it?

Scrappt Ihr eigentlich auch nur-Landschaftsphotos oder verwendet Ihr nur Photos wo auch Menschen zu sehen sind?

Have a wonderful day – Euch einen wunderschönen Tag

Tattered TV – Us Layout- Video & Tutorial

Thank you to all of you who joined me from all over the world (Germany, Singapore, USA, France, Spain, Greece, The Netherlands etc.) yesterday in the Tattered TV Show – even some people joined me two times- since due to some confusion with the winter time :) Europe already changed the clocks last weekend while in America you do it next weekend, so we had all the times wrong in our newsletter. But hey…LOL…good thing I’m flexible ;)

If you missed the show- don’t worry- I recorded it – and you actually get the first version – clean hands and clean surface in the beginning included.

Here is the Video:

Klick :)

I showed how you can use Chalkboard as a stamping medium and also some different ways on how to use all four of the Tattered Angels Paint Glimmer Mist, Chalkboard, Glimmer Glaze and Glimmer Glam and did show how you can use the different specifics of those products and make it work for different techniques and how you can mix them too.

 

Here is the tutorial in English as a downloadable pdf NathalieKalbach tattered-tv-us-tutorial

I hope you like it :)

Until next time on Tattered TV on December 21 st, 2011 !

 

Nat

Trust

I loved creating this layout- I did this when I had a down moment- and what better moment when to scrap right then ;)

TRUST

using some of my favorite Crafter’s Workshop Templates on the background paper, spraiying with Mallard and Timberline Glimmer Mist.

The Basically Bare currogated Cardboard heart was painted with thick layer of Lipstick Glimmer Glam and Orange Crush Glimmer Glaze.

I used some Fern and Monolith Chalkboard Glimmer Mist on top of the Chicken Wire Template and also painted the JiliBean Chipboard letters with Pewter Glimmer Glaze.

For the canvas fabric I used my beloved My StampBox stitching stamp.

And I finally could get myself to use my beloved compass that I found in a fleamarket store…..good thing I have a couple more- LOL

Supplies: Prima Paper, Crafter’s Workshop Templates, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Glaze, Canvas Fabric, My StampBox Stamp, Eco Green Craft Artist Medium, Basically Bare Heart, Canvas Fabric, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Tape, Jili Bean Letters, Compass- Vintage

Have a gorgeous day :)

NJ and NYC – more East Coast Vacation

After coming back from the Cape we spent another day with our family and I even managed to sneak out with my fun sister in law to Frenchtown to visit Two Buttons an awesome store owned by the writer Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Love, Pray and others). Loved the store and there are so many more cute stores in this town – we had a great afternoon :)

We carved some pumpkins with the kids which was too funny – and yes- it was a bit early- but who cares- it was fun!

On Friday morning we took the train to NYC and met Julie for breakfast. Afterwards we spent the morning at MoMa- oh loooooveeee – I wish I could go there every month.

A little bit of shopping at Antrophologie and meeting some friends in the afternoon in the Village- perfect day – topped off with an delicious and funny dinner with Julie and her husband. While the husbands crashed, Julie and I had a chatty night…as always when we meet- LOL.

Saturday we had our co-teaching class . Julie is such an amazing teacher and it was just pure fun to work with her. We had a blast and we hope our students had too – well we all laughed a lot and the techniques looked all so different and awesome.

Can’t wait to have her in Hamburg for our Mixed Media Circus Event – it is going to be a blast. And that was our vacation then – the next day we flew back to Germany.

I think it is the first time I heard myself saying I could vision myself living in NYC ;) I have been in the City a couple times but that it was never the city I could see myself to see living in the U.S. :)
