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. :)

The Cove, the Cape and ….East Coast Vacation Part I

What a whirlwind trip and it was fun fun fun. We came in on a thursday and went to see our family in New Jersey and spent some time seeing friends too on Friday. We had a little birthday party for the kiddos which was lots of fun and then on Saturday I went to Scrappers Cove in Milltown. It was so much fun. I even had two German speaking girls in my class :) and I loved the atmosphere – I hope to come back next time I’m in the area ;)

On Sunday then we drove to Cape Cod where we had rented a nice little house. It was the perfect time to be there. Our land lord said he calls this the “Secret Season” – was the leaves are turning, the weather is still wonderful and there is almost no one there – perfect. We did beach hikings, watched sunsets and sunrises, bbq-ed, rented a tandem and managed to ride it even, did some shopping, ate lobster and saw seals in the ocean – it was AWESOME

More pictures of our vacation and the workshop in NYC with Julie to come :)

Have a gorgeous day
