Project 365 – Week 42

I have to catch up with my pictures of the week and those are quite versatile for week 42 :)

*285/365*

October 12-2009: San Francisco at the Beach- so beautiful- a nice walk with Marina and Karsten :)

*286/365*

October 13-2009: In Sonoma County at our friend’s house – beautiful vineyard in front of their house and for the first time I have been to California RAIN – oh man- didn’t even know they had rain :)

*287/365*

October 14-2009: Sequoia Nationalpark- huge amazing trees- as well as a bear. What a magic place!

*288/365*

October 15 – 2009: And another bear today- what a great view – he was sniffing the ground for food and ate pine cones.

*289/365*

October 16-2009: On the way to Las Vegas we drove through the Mojave Desert- lot’s of Joshua Trees along- miles and miles no cars, no houses, no people. Wonderful!

*290/365*

October 17-2009: Such an opposite experience to all the other days- crazy crazy loud and crowded- still fun- Las Vegas!

*291/365*

October 18 -2009: Arrived at the Grand Canyon – and went out for a hike to have a picnic out there and watch the sunset

50th Wedding Anniversary

My parents in Law just had their 50th Wedding anniversary and it was about time I finished my album for them. So here it is with all “old” and “new” layouts.

Meine Schwiegereltern hatten gerade ihren 50-igsten Hochzeitstag und da wurde es noun wirklich Zeit, dass ich mein Album für sie fertigbekam. Daher – hier ist es- das Album mit den “alten” und “neuen” Layouts.

I hope they like it :)

Ich hoffe sie mögen es :)

What a Wonderful World- Album

I realized I have not yet shown you my “What a Wonderful World” album – which I taught several times – online, in New York City and in Germany.

Ich habe gemerkt, dass ich Euch mein “What a Wonderful World” Album, welches ich einige Male unterrichtet habe (in New York City, online und in Deutschland), noch nicht gezeigt haben.

*What a Wonderful World*

Workshops in Germany, Hamburg – ScrapbookKings

Saturday, November 14, 2009

Scrapbook-King

Hamburg, Germany

In diesem Altered Art Prima Workshop zeigt Nat , dass es beim Scrapbooking nicht nur um Seiten in einem Album gehen muss. Sie wird Euch zeigen, wie man einen Keilrahmen, Acrylfarben und andere Medien sowie Scrapbookingmaterialien verbinden kann, um damit ein individuelles Wandbild zu kreieren. Probier unterschiedliche Medien aus der Kunstwelt aus und hab einfach Spaß! Die Techniken, die Du in diesem Workshop erlernst, kannst Du auch in späteren Projekten und Layouts hervorragend anwenden. Der Workshop findet bei uns in Tonndorf von 10:00 Uhr bis ca. 14:00 Uhr statt und wird inklusive Material und einem Keilrahmen (40cm x 40cm) Eur 30,00 pro Person kosten. Ihr könnt auch einen eigenen Keilrahmen (Mindestgröße 30cm x 30cm) mitbringen, dann kostet der Workshop Eur 25,00 pro Person. Zusätzliche Materialpakete sind für Workshopteilnehmer verfügbar, Preise auf Anfrage. Anschließend besteht die Möglichkeit – wie immer an unseren Crop Days – bis tief in die Nacht in lustiger Runde nach Herzenslust zu scrappen. Interessenten, die erst nach dem  Workshop (ab ca. 14:00 Uhr) am Crop Day teilnehmen möchten, können wir erst ca. 14 Tage vor dem Termin ihren Platz bestätigen. Plätze sind – wie immer – limitiert, bitte meldet Euch bis zum 30. Oktober 09 telefonisch (040-66904751) oder unter workshops@scrapbook-king.de an. Anmeldungen für den Workshop werden von uns bestätigt. Absagen sind bis zu zwei Wochen vor dem Termin kostenfrei, danach müssen wir leider eine Stornogebühr von Eur 20,00 berechnen. Es ist jederzeit möglich, einen Ersatzteilnehmer zu stellen.

Nat will show you in this Altered Art Prima Workshop that Scrapbooking is not only about pages in an album. She will show you how you combine a canvas, acrylic paints and other media as well as Scrapbookingmaterials to create a very unique wallpicture. Try different art supplies and have fun! You will learn techniques which you can easily apply to future projects and layouts. The workshop will take place in Hamburg-Tonndorf from 10.00 am to 14.00 pm and you will get all Materials  and a Canvas for 30 EUR. If you bring your own Canvas the workshop will be 25 EUR. Workshop Places are limited. Please sign up by calling us +49 (0) 40-43188293 or email workshops@scrapbook-king.de You will get a confirmation.

Cherry Pie Creations – Workshop in The Netherlands

It was such an amazing and fun Cherry Pie Creations weekend in The Netherlands in Venray. My sweet Liz and I drove 6 hours down and we had a blast. While Liz was taking a total of 9 workshops and showed up once in a while with piles and piles of materials and projects, I taught my classes and enjoyed having students from Israel, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. All the students were amazing and all the groups had a really fun vibe and the outcomes were all different, unique and stunning! Here are the classes I taught. I might teach them again in a small group in Hamburg- but for now they are retired :)

Eternal Love

*Tribute Album*

It was also such a fun and good time to hang out with the other teachers. Birgit, Natasja and Vicki are such wonderful personalties- we had a very good time and laughed quite  a lot- LOL – AR!!!!! Manita did a great job organizing the Event and it was fun shopping at Special Memories and Scrapheap

I met so many wonderful students and I can’t all poin them out – Ingeborg was so nice to send me a couple pictures- here is Ingeborg and me staring the the sun- LOL

And here is Viv – who sent me the pic- see – I love how different the outcome is with her layout:

And Ingeborg sent me hers- isn’t that amazing?

I have to say that this is my favorite part of this workshop for me…all the different outcomes and how students get excited about it…and if you were in one of my workshops…you know I get totally excited about it too- LOL

The girls from Special Memories did an amazing job helping and my special thanks go out to Judith and Anja who helped during my classes as well to the other sweethearts that treated me with tea, and Wilhelmina Peppermints :) Love you girls- you are the best! Here is a photo of all of us (also stolen from Vicki Boutin – I hope she is not killing me!)


Here is Manita and us workshop teachers – it cracks me up how we all look in different directions :)

and here is the nice picture that I stole from Vici’s Blog :) I love this picture of Natasja, Vicki, Manita, Birgit and me! We are beaming…because it was so awesome!

Hopefully I will see many of you again!

huge hugs

    Hi. I’m Anat, Mya friend that was in your class. We met Ingeborg in the middle of mastricht. She came towards us and ask if it us that were in the weekend. I was so exited about the meeting that I forgot to take her e-mail for some chatting. And here you are putting yours photo and I’m looking and say – oh my god – there she is, the same lady that we met in Mastricht accidentally. What a coincidence. I’ll be glad if you can connect us or throw me her e-mail. I’m going to make a post on my blog about beautiful Mastricht.
    Thanks alot.
    Anat.

    Hi Nathalie,
    it was so great to see you again! And I did learn a lot in spite of what you think. I got myself a copy of the new Sommerset finaly and it is so great to see your “work” and articles in it!
    You give/gave me new inspiration, and I needed that a lot.
    Busy with all kinds of paints and inks again.
