Street Art Album – Prima Canvas Album

For the last nights I have been creating a project- just for myself, no boundaries and the outcome is so me and makes me sooo happy…I’m anxious to show it to you because it is so dear to my heart! It was so much fun to work with this Prima Canvas Album designed by Donna Downey.

Die letzten Nächte habe ich an einem Projekt nur für mich gearbeitet – ohne Regeln oder Einschränkungen und das was rausgekommen ist, ist einfach mein Ding und macht mich unglaublich happy…ich bin etwas ängstlich es Euch zu zeigen, weil es mir halt so am Herzen liegt! Es hat echt total viel Spaß gemacht mit diesem Prima Canvas Album designed von Donna Downey zu arbeiten.

*Street Art Album*

Worked on the cover with my brayer techniques – and used the Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints- yummie stuff!

I mixed the canvas pages with the page protector pages – but used the page protector pages as fun inlays.

On the inside cover I used Clear embossing powder for the resist technique and then sprayed Ranger’s Color Washes on top.

I used Ranger Grungeboard Tiles and painted them as a base for the photo.

I used Prima Clear Paintables inside the page protectors and used the new Ranger Alcohol Ink Pens to color them in beforehand.

For this page I used my beloved Caran d’Ache Neocolors II.

I stamped the Grungeboard Letters with my favorite Tim Holtz Stamp – love the outcome.

I stitchted through the page protector sheet here partly with out thread

Here I used a Gesso Base and then different paint mediums- Color Wash, Acrylic Paints, Neocolors II

For this page- taken in Paris – I used eyelets and punched them right through the canvas. I do not show the actual page- LOL -since the page protector covers the maybe some people offending part :)

here are some closer shots of the page protectors so you see how they were treated – I sew, as said used the Clear Paintables inside and stitched like a crazy woman ;) – well of course the wonderful pre stitched Prima Papers add to the look.

Supplies:  Prima Donna Downey Canvas Album, Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints, Range, Adirondack Dimensional Pearls, Tim Holtz Stamps, Tim Holtz Grungeboad Letters, Prima Letter Stickers and Chipboards, Prima Transparency Glitter Splatters, Tim Holtz Philosphy Tags, Tim Holtz Muse Tokens, Prima Stitched Mulberry on Stage, Adirondack ColorWash,Ranger Embossing Pad, Ranger Clear Embossing Powder, Amsterdam Acrylic Paints, Prima Star Felt Mattie, Inkssential’sGlossy Accents, Caran d’Ache Neocolors II, Tim Holtz Grungeboard Tiles, Posca Markers, Prima Clear Pulse Mix Paintables, Ranger Liquid Pearls, Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Pens and Alcohol Inks, Prima Pulse Papers, Golden Medium, Golden Gesso, Prima Essential 4 Flowes, Eyelets.

So – I hope you like it :)

Wishing you a gorgeous weekend!

Project 365 – Week 18

Last week wasn’t very exciting – but that is not the purpose of the pictures a day anyway. So I’m sorry you have to go through this- LOL

Letzte Woche war nicht wirklich sehr aufregend- aber darum geht es ja auch nicht bei den Bildern des Tages. Also müsst Ihr da jetzt durch- LOL

*117/365*

Just a random photo in my room. Lot’s of minialbums.

 *118/365*

I was worried that the tree in front of my studio window would be dead but finally it turns green. I love that tree but a lot of people in the house hate it cause it takes away a lot of light.

*119/365*

I know you have seen a lot of Niles-Pictures already- but this one is so hilarious- LOL. He was watching my husband cooking.

*120/365*

We finally got our new lights and had them fixed. Love them and the light in the kitchen is way better now.

*121/365*

Got my issue of Somerset Memories April/May 2009. I have an older layout published in it.

*122/365*

My husband’s jazz band performed – it was fun and I love their spoken words programme. Luise looks too cute with her baby belly on stage!

*123/365*

Lovely flowers I got from Jim. The colors are wonderful and they cheer me up a little. I have a bit of a down day today.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Canvas and Photos of a Baptism

Am Samstag war ich eingeladen zur Taufe des Nachwuchses der Kings. Ich habe mich sehr über die Einladung gefreut und aus dem Photo der Einladung gleich das Taufgeschenk produziert :-)

Saturday I was invited to the baptism of the latest addition to the family of the Kings. I was really honored to receive the invitation and used the photo of it for my baptism present :-)

Supplies: Acrylic Paints, Inks, Rose Moka Papers, Rose Moka Stickers, Paper Artsy Border, Sassafrass Lass Chipboard

And some photos of the baptism:

The church was very simple yet beautiful.

I loved the interaction between the pastor and the children

And this must be my favorite photo – the little peek

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Layout: For The Record

Ich liebe Kits – wenn sie gut zusammengestellt sind bekomme ich einen kreativen Schub und bekomme ganz viele Inspirationen. Und da stellt sich die Frage…was ist ein gutes Kit für mich ;-)

I love Kits – if they are assembled in a great way I can’t stop to create and get a lot of inspiration. And therefore I should ask…what do I call a good kit ;)

For The Record

Journaling: The perfect kit form e would contain a great mix of papers – sometimes with not so well known manufacturers, a vintage item, ribbon or lace, alphabets that allow a couple of layouts , and a technique item like a pen or paint or a stamp – so I can come out of my box. Ohhh …and chocolate.

Supplies: Glossy Cardboard, Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, Glimmer Mists, Making Memories Foarm Stamp, Black Maker, Signo Gel Pen, Old Record sawn in half, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, Prima Dude Collection Paper, Old Book Page, Melissa Frances Paper, Danyeela Patterned Paper, Hambly Overlay, Lace, Foil Pen, Foam Pads.

Ist Euch was aufgefallen??? LOL –

Did you notice something??? LOL
