Finally I can share projects I created for CHA since the show just opened :)
Here is a canvas I did for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L – so much fun to play in a different way with adhesives:
Loved creating the background texture with the new Adhesive Sheets and Utee :)
And never forget…photo corners can be pretty versatile – and make up for great flowers.
Be happy and bloom too today :)
hugs

Here is a sneak of the Prima Make & Takes I will be doing on Sunday and Monday with their new collection En Francais at the Prima Booth #1269
It was fun working with this new collection:
If you are at CHA come around and play along :) I Would love to see you!

Hi Nat! Wish I was there with you—and this gorgeous line of products! Will need to be on the lookout for these at our local craft stores in the next few months!:-)
Enjoy your trip to sunny CA and have a great show.
Lovely line! I am so excited to be able to be there on Sunday! Looking forward to meeting you! :)
Pretty collection and what a make and take…wish I was there!
If you are at CHA and want to come by while I’m demoing some Art Journal Techniques and say hi – I will be there at booth #2688 on tuesday from 10am-1pm
Bring this for some yummie new product :)
Love me some playing with acrylic paints :)
have a creative day today!
Nat
Working on some secret stuff for CHA booths and for Make & Takes for Prima Marketing and my workshops in California and…for this….
Less when two weeks before my flights – trying to get all done …and…..brrrrr …and let me tell you, it is really COLD outside. That might be also the reason for a right ear ache.
Note to self: Wear HAT!
Besides that- and I know that is not professional to say “I am SCARED and my head is empty and my vision is there but my hands do other it differently from what I had planned” – LOL- so wish me luck that Mojo- my little friend, comes back and sits on my shoulder whispering “Dudette, it is going to be ok!” ;) But as a good friend of mine always says: “Everything will work out perfectly”
So…I’m jumping back into my studio to warm up *wink* and then rock on.
By the way….for our Creative Jump Start Summit 2012 I opened now a Flickr group where you can join and upload photos of projects inspired by the Jump Starts to share them with everybody. Love what is visible already.
Wishing you a wonderful day from super stormy Hamburg
Nat
hola! adoré tu blog! estoy participando en el proyecto art journal de ADa, no se nada, así q ando en busca de inspiración!
gracias! te sigo
c@ desde Chile
Hola – lo bien que me has encontrado. Bienvenido:) Un hermoso fin de semana
Your friend is totally right. Your projects rock, you rock and you will rock it! and we’ll be sending our most positive feelings from the distance. What else?? Take care. Loves
I’m sure your jitters will fade away as soon as you get to where you are going! You are an amazing artist, a darling sweet person, and will totally hold your own! It’s easy to build things up in one’s mind to make them bigger and scarier than they will be in reality. Perhaps Cat’s jump start on “Fear” needs another look! :)
Sorry to hear about your earache-those are the worst! Keep warm and I am calling on your Mojo to be strong and present as you get through these next two weeks of prep!
Natalie I just want to say thank you so much for the creative jump start I have learnt sooooooooooo much already and an so grateful that all these amazing designers have given some of their time to all of us out in the big ole world. What a thrill it is each morning to go on my computer and watch the videos that these amazing people have done with white. Love the toitlet tissue idea and just putting down color on tags and not being afraid that what i did was ugly wahoooooo. Again thanks sooo much.
Oh Kim -that just made my day! Thank you so much :)))) Huge hugs!
Oooh can’t wait to see your creations! Your friend is right, and you will ROCK. I clicked on the designer showcase link – how cool will that be!?!? Glad to see they put a few tables between yours and Julie’s…. someone was clearly thinking of the chaos that might ensue if you had neighboring tables.
Yeah- we would totally DISAPPOINT ; ) hahahaha
Looks exciting! Wish I could be there to see it “live”. Ear ace isn´t fun… maybe I´ll knit you a cool hat…
Don’t be scared, your work is always super. And never forget the famous words of Walt Disney, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
You will rock it Natalie! Stay warm :)
Here is another layout I created for the Prima booth for CHA 2011. The pictures are …before the sunburn on Hawaii- LOL . My vacation there was devided in before and after …hehehe.
Hier ist noch ein Layout, welches ich für den Prima Messestand bei der CHA 2011 gemacht habe. Die Photos sind vom ….vor dem Sonnenbrand auf Hawaii – LOL. Mein Urlaub dort ist unterteilt in Vorher und Nachher – hehehee.
It is created with the beautiful Alla Prima Collection- yum yum.
I wanna go back right now….
Ich möchte sofort wieder zurück ….
Where would you like to be at this moment for a vacation?
An welchem Ort wärest Du jetzt gerne in diesem Moment im Urlaub?
oooh…I want to visit the seychellen…NOW :)
Oh I have never been there- that would do it for me too :)
Great LO and I’d love to vacation in Hawaii someday :)
This LO is so different from what I’ve come to expect from you and yet it is perfect for the subject…relaxed and having a mellow time!
I would like to be with my neighbors at Disney World in Florida right now or in France since I’ve never been there.
ohohh France is so beautiful -you would love it there! But Florida is now mentioned the second time ;) I can see why- I have been only in the Panhandle though so far.
Right now I would want to be in Florida, and lucky me I leave the 14th to go there :)
ohh that is a good one- I wish you a wonderful vacation!!!
Here is another project I created for CHA with the Color Connections Companies. Rome wasn’t built in one day- but the project had to be.
Hier ist noch ein Projekt, dass ich für die CHA mit den Color Connections Produkten hergestellt habe. Rom wurde ja nicht an einem Tag erbaut, aber die Box hier mußte es werden.
I turned the wooden Walnut Hollow canvas around and used it as a shadow box. The Mistables Paper was painted with the Tattered Angels Walnut Hollow Color Pack – as well as the flowers, the title and the frame.
Ich habe den hölzernen Rahmen von Walnut Hollow umgedreht und als Shadowbox verwendet. Die Mistables Paper habe ich mit dem Walnut Hollow Color Pack bemalt- und auch die Blumen, den Titel und den Rahmen.
See the E…well I had to “fake” it since I didn’t reveice an E- LOL. I think I did pretty good ;) And you know I was sooo smart – I thought when I had the Rome idea- because in German it is just Rom…but then it dawned on me…wouldn’t fly well at CHA- everybody would think I’m not quite a spelling bee huh…?
Seht Ihr das E…na ja- das musste ich mir herzaubern, da ich ja kein E erhalten hatte- LOL. Ich war ja sooo schlau als ich das Projekt began – Rom…ne….jahahaaa- aber halt nicht in Englisch… da ist es mir wieder eingefallen- fehlt ‘n E…wäre dann wohl eher peinlich gewesen bei der CHA – ne?
Supplies: 12×12 Walnut Hollow Wooden Canvas, Pink Paislee Mistable paper, Tattered Angels Walnut Hollow Color Pack. Pink Paisle Mistables Chipboard Alphas, Pink Paislee Mistables Journaling Tags, Prima Innoscence Flowers.
Have a wonderful day :)
Euch einen wunderschönen Tag :)
Looks awsome Nathalie
Cheers
Mary
You did a great job with the E.
And those little details out of the box.. love them!
Another stunning shadow box. LOVE that flower cluster, so bright and cheerful
Rome never looked so good! Love this!
wow, I never would have realized you faked the E. I do that to sometimes. no perfectionism here! love this project it is really fun and pretty.
Love how you made the “E” and I just hate to run out of the letter that I need but it often makes me be more creative. LOL
Cooles Endergebnis!
LG,
Tanja
Brilliant !!! Love it!!!
Love it! You faked it well :) Love those flowers!
Thank you Khristen :)
This shadowbox was created as a special assignment for CHA Summer 2011 for all the Color Connections Companies (Tattered Angels, Prima Marketing, Pink Paislee and Walnut Hollow) – It was so much fun but also scary (for example if you only have two sheets of papers or the prototype letters mnopqrst for three projects ;) – so no testing, screwing up ) working with all the newest -by then still secret poducts by Pink Paislee and Prima Marketing.
Diese Shadowbox habe ich für einen speziellen Auftrag für CHA Sommer 2011 für all die Color Connections Firmen (Tattered Angels, Prima Marketing, Pink Paislee und Walnut Hollow) – It was so much fun- aber auch ein wenig gruselig (wenn man zum Beispiel nur zwei Papier für drei Projekte oder nur die Prototyp Buchstaben mnopqrst bekommt ;) – also nix mit ausprobieren oder Fehlern), mit den Neuesten – jedenfalls damals noch geheimen Produkten von Pink Paislee und Prima Marketing zu arbeiten.
This is my personal favorite project out of the three I had to make. My grandaunt Margot, who I visited yesterday (miss her so much!), and her parents…my great grandparents. I love this picture and have used it before- but it is special for me and that is what counts ;)
Dies ist mein persönlicher Favorit von den drei Projekten, welche ich kreieren musste. Meine Großtante Margot (vermisse sie schon jetzt!), und ihre Eltern…meine Urgroßeltern. Ich liebe dieses Phote und habe es auch schon vorher verwendet – aber es ist besonders für mich und das ist es, was zählt ;)
I used the new Pink Paislee Mistable’s Mask on the Walnut Hollow wooden Canvas- which I just turned into a Shadowbox. I love the texture with Gesso and the Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam on top and the Chalkboard – I mixed both up here. I wish you could see it in real life :)
Ich habe die neue Pink Paislee Mistables Mask auf der umgedrehten Holzleinwand von Walnut Hollow verwendet. Ich liebe die Texture mit Gesso und dem Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam und Chalkboard – ich habe beide Farben hier zusammengemischt. Ich wünschte Ihr könntet es in Echt beschauen :)
Supplies: 8×8 Walnut Hollow wooden Canvas, Pink Paislee Mistable Scallop Ribbons, Pink Paislee Mistable Misting Mask, Tattered Angels Hummingbird Color Set, Prima Flowers, Prima Resist Canvas, Gesso, Gel Medium, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Tape.
Wishing you a wonderful and sunny weekend!
Wünsche Euch ein schönes und sonniges Wochenende!
That can’t have been easy! What a lovely shadow box
The texture on that “frame” is delightful Nat!
I just love the effect you got with the gesso and mist here, so beautiful!
I love playing with color so much that looking at this page I made for CHA I feel like something is missing- but I really like the black and blue on here – with the Prima Printerey Collection.
ich liebe es ja mit Farben zu spielen, so dass dieses Layout, dass ich für die CHA gemacht habe, so ausschaut als fehle etwas – aber ich liebe diese Schwarz /Blau Kombination mit der Printerey Kollektion von Prima.
The photos is take in “Oma Krabbe’s Garden” – actually Oma Krabbe was my great-great grandmother – on the left and she had a garden which I always heard about as “Oma Krabbe’s Garden” – Happy time were connected with this place and you can see my great-grandmother standing in the back on the left side too (third person from left).
Das Foto wurde in “Oma Krabbes Garten” geschossen – Oma Krabbe ist eigentlich meine Ur-Ur-Großmutter- auf der linken Seite und man sprach immer von ihrem Garten – “Oma Krabbes Garten” – ein fester Begriff und sehr viele glückliche Stunden sind mit diesem Ort verbunden- Meine Urgroßmutter ist übrigens die dritte Person von links.
I used the new brick mask from Prima on the background with Glimmer Mist and the leaves are also new- aren’t they awesome :)
Ich habe die neue Mauer-Maske von Prima für den Hintergrund mit Glimmer Mist verwendet und auch die Blätter sind bandneu- sind die nicht wunderschön :)
I love the new Canvas Resist Mistables and also the small canvas letters that you can use with the colors you want.
Ich liebe diesen neuen Canvas Resist Mistables und auch die kleinen Leinwand Buchstaben, die man sich einfärben kann wie man möchte.
I also used some gauze and the bird and the fountain were actually treated with Patina- such a cool stuff to work with- just it takes a while to see the effects.
Ich habe des weiteren Mullbinde verwendet und der Vogel und auch der Brunnen wurden mit Patina behandelt- cooles Zeug – dauert nur ein wenig bis man Resultate sehen kann.
I really love those Resins- they are cute!
Ich find die Resins echt total knuffig!
The Bridge was treated with patina as well while the girl from the Resist Canvas was sprayed with Glimmer Mist colors.
Die Brücke habe ich ebenfalls mit Patina behandelt, während ich das Mädchen von dem Resist Canvas ebenfalls mit Glimmer Mist besprüht habe.
Oma Krabbe’s Garden – for sure a place that should not be forgotten. Do you have also some sentences that run in your family refering to a place or home or family member from long time ago?
Oma Krabbes Garten – ganz sicher ein Ort den man in Erinnerung behalten sollte. Habt Ihr auch so einen Satz der Familienbestandteil ist und sich mit einem Ort oder ein Heim oder ein Familienmitglied beschäftigt, das einer anderen Zeit angehört?
I love all the details in this layout! I’m addicted to blue, it’s one of my favorite colors.
How beautiful layout for or priceless picture of your family. I Love it!
oh there is the bird bath again… i love it! great LO!!
Those resin features rocks and I love the patina look. Gorgeous layout
This layout was created with all the new yummie goodness by Prima Marketing for the CHA Summer Booth. I had so much fun to play with it.
Dieses Layout habe ich mit lauter wunderbaren neuen Prima Marketing Produkten für deren CHA Sommer Stand kreiert. Ich hatte riesigen Spaß damit rumzuspielen.
*Engaged*
The soft colors of the beautiful new Pixie Collection paper reminded me on the soft and tender love of my sweet grandaunt Margot and my granduncle Hans who got engaged in 1942. The photo is their official engagement photo.
Die pastelligen Farben des neuen Pixie Papiers haben mich irgendwie an die Liebe meiner Großtante Margot und meinen Großonkel Hans erinnert, die sich im Jahre 1942 verlobten. Dies ist das offizielle Verlobungsphoto.
These flowers are the new Ceylon Attic Flowers and I love the lilac and apricot ones the most – all those different little pearls inside. The umbrella was cut out and then mounted on 3D Foam Square by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to give it a bit more dimension.
Die Blumen sind die neuen Ceylon Attic Flowers und mir gefallen ja die lilane und die apricot-farbene am besten – mit all diesen unterschiedlich gefärbten Perlen innen drin. Der Regenschirm war aus einem anderem Papier der Kollektion ausgeschnitten und mit einem 3D Foam Square von Scrapbook Ashesives by 3L aufgeklebt, um den ganzen noch ein wenig mehr Dimension zu geben.
I stamped the background paper with some gesso over bubble wrap – you know I love this for years.
Das Papier habe ich noch mit ein wenig Gesso und Luftpolsterfolie bestempelt – ihr wisst ja- das liebe ich seit Jahren ;)
Some of my favorites of this release must be those Resins – here the Large Window Sutters as well as the Writers Tape.
Eines meiner Favoriten der Sommer-Kollektion sind ja diese Resins (sehen aus wie Gips). Hier die Fensterläden – und auch das Writers Tape hat es mir angetan.
I stamped the Writers Tape with an older beloved Prima Clear Stamp – which has a Notestamp included and then ruffled it a bit and adhered it to the paper.
Das Writers Tape habe ich mit einem Prima Notenstempel und Sepia Archival Ink bestempelt und dann ein bischen gerafft aufgeklebt. Klebt wie Hulle.
The Window Shutter I treated with two different colors of Chalkboard Glimmer Mist and painted the window hinges with Glimmer Glaze
Die Fensterläden habe ich mit zwei verschiedenen Farben Chalkboard Glimmer Mist besprüht und die Fensterangeln mit Glimmer Glaze bemalt.
The flocking – with the “singing” and the other flocked areas you see and there on the page are from the fun new flocked rub ons by Prima. And the little crystals that you see are the cool new Say It in Crystals which come in different sizes.
Das geflockte “Singing” und andere geflockte Elemente, die Ihr auf dem Papier entdecken könnt sind von den witzigen neuen Rub Ons von Prima. Und die kleinen Kristalle – Say It In Crystals – sind jetzt so geschliffen und kommen in vielen verschiedenen Größen.
Another favorite of mine must be the new letters – those white ones you can alter in any color you want…you know I love those ;)
Besonders liebe ich ja auch die neuen Buchstaben – die weißen kann man ja seinem Hintergrund anpassen ….und Ihr wisst ja, dass ich sowas liebe ;)
For the window parts- which I used here as corner embellishments I used a bit more of the Glimmer Glaze – love the outcome.
Für die Oberfenster Teile- die ich als Eckenverzierung verwendet habe, habe ich ein wenig mehr von dem Glimmer Glaze verwendet – gefällt mir ganz gut.
So – I think this layout is pretty soft for me- but I added my typical edges , haven’t I? ;)
Sodele – Ich denke, dass das ja ein …sehr sanftes Layout für meinen Stil ist – aber ich habe doch ein paar meiner typischen Ecken und Kanten hinzugefügt, oder ?;)

Nathalie, what gorgeous layouts! I think your “softer side” is beautiful! The understated color palate and just a hint of glitter is perfect! Also, those shutters are the cutest add-on!
I love to see any LO with Margot in it.
At first I though this LO is so not Nat and then when you showed the details I see how you got your bubble wrap and other favorites in there!
BTW…different is OK too:-)
gggg die goodies sind schon im warenkorb …
also ich hab jetzt nochmal raufgescrollt, ob das wirklich von dir is – wunderschön, aber hab ich schon mal so “dezente” farben gesehen ?
ist sehr stimmig!
der bilderrahmen ist von wem?
lg conny
Nat – das ist traumschön – mal so ganz anders – aber einfach göttlich – LG Conny

I just finished with the last of JumpStart. These are amazing women who have truly inspired me. I’m in awe of these artists from around the world who are busy creating like me. I don’t get around technically very well, so to have something so easy was wonderful for me. Love, love, love it. Thanks you so much!

Thanks to all of the participants; it’s been quite a ride!!

Great use of photo corners. I love your flowers. I also want to thank you for the Creative Jump Start. I feel very inspired! I appreciate being introduced to all of your wonderfully talented friends from all over the world. I now visit thier blogs to “stay in touch”. I feel part of an exciting Worldwide community! All, except one, of your participants gave of themselves unselfishly. I am very sad it is over. Thanks, again!!

I want to add my thanks for this wonderful month of Jumpstarts!!! I tend to be super critical of my work and for me art is a chore sometimes. I have learned to try and let go and just do! Each of these women are amazing and I appreciate the time that went into this by you and each of them!!!!!!! THANK YOU!

I just wanted to thank you soooooo much for this month. Everyday has been like Christmas for me and it helped Jump Start my year in the best way possible. PLease please do this again next year, it’s the perfect way to start a new year. You did an amazing job lining everything up and it went so smoothly. It was fun not knowing what each guest was going to do, love that it was a mix of everything. I’ve been inspired by them and even some of the readers work in the flickr.
Thanks again !!!!!

Brilliant use of photo corners! I never would’ve thought to do that! Love the UTEE background too. I have some of that stuff. I guess I should whip it out and play a bit.

Great effects! I am very partial to your theme too since BLOOM! is the name of my summer business where I host art workshops, shows, presentations, etc. It seemed to fit my vision of offering a gathering place for people to grow their creativity, be happy and BLOOM!
