If you are from Germany you pretty much grew up with the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel but I’m sure most of the world knows this fairy tale :) Here is their house ;)
Hier ist das Haus von Hänsel und Gretel ;)
I had so much fun altering the wooden house and dressing Hansel and Gretel :)
For the roof and on the Pink Paislee Frame I used lot’s of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam – I love that stuff :)
Supplies. Pink Paislee: Bayberry Cottage Paper, Queen Bee Paper, Artisan Elements Frame, 365 Degrees Ribbon ; Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam, Crackle Medium.
Hope you like it :)
ahhh, too cute and also a bit x-massy!!!! ;)
But of course I know this fairy tale and it scared me a little when I was a child. Your Gretel looks more sophisticated than the one I remember. You are making some wonderful non-LO items these days. Did you decide where the mirror is going? (ha ha)
I did…I did…you just brought back a flood of memories…oh my! Tears in my eyes…ahem…that is awesome Nat!
this is so cute and whimsical, i would love something like that on my windowsill, Hänsel and Gretel overlooking the (hopefully soon again) snow-covered playground!
have a lovely weekend!
This is wicked!!!!! Love it so much
Oh I love the house – and I know the tale of course! And where is the Witch? :)
mmmm and where’s the chocolate? :) Beautiful and very creative. Love it
How totally fun and creative missy!!! you constantly amaze me.
This big mirror was found in a little store in my neighborhood for 16 EUR (about 22 Dollars) – white it was- and I knew I had to use it for a project and spice it up :)
Diesen großen Spiegel habe ich in einem kleinen Geschäft in der Nachbarschaft für 16 EUR gefunden – weiß war er -und ich wusste, dass ich ihn für ein Projekt ein wenig aufmotzen wollte :)
I painted the frame of the mirror with clear gesso first as it was more like a supersmooth surface and I wanted the Chalkboard to really grab on it.
I spread some Golden Goddess Glimmer Glam on parts of the mirror.
Then I used my favorite new stamps the Tattered Angels Architectural Border Stamps and stamped on tissue paper, decoupaged it to the frame and then sprayed over the frame with different Colors of Chalkboard and Glimmer Mist.
After that dried I applied Crackle Medium on some parts of the frame as well as onto the mirror itself. After that dried I used Glam and Glaze and Irridiscent Gold Glimmer Mist and finished it all up.
I cut out the words from the Simple Sayings Tag after I had sprayed them with Glimmer Mist too and attached them to the mirror.
Wishing you a gorgeous day!
This is DIVINE!!! I love everything about it! It’s so VERY MUCH YOU!!
Oh this is just amazing! I love every inch of it! Wow!

Nat! Der is der Hammer! Märchenland. Ich will sowas auch. Auf die Gefahr hin, dass ich daheim rausflieg, wenn ich den an die Wand hänge, natürlich. *gg Na vielleicht bemal ich nich gleich den großen Ganzkörperspiegel und versuch’s mit ‘nem kleinen. Aber DAS mach ich. Danke für die grandiose Idee!

OK.. I’M DYING HERE!!! THAT IS STUNNING!! Seriously gorgeous Nat! I have a mirror here on my work table to alter with TA products and now that I’ve seen yours I’m totally intimidated!! I LOVE THIS!
After the workshops Vicki Boutin and I headed out to Paris for a day and had a blast :) We had a wonderful time together!

I came back Tuesday night from the Paper & Co Show in France – Scrapbooking and Mixed Media Workshops. I taught six classes in three days and it has been a blast. I loved the students and the other teachers- we bonded and had a lot of fun – nights full of talks and there was just so much creativity in the air! Well…not too much I can tell…because….as we said…What happens in France…stays in France- LOL
One early morning Lydia, my sweet personal assistent and Mou Saha (love her!!) and I were able to sneak out and drive to a village and take some photos.
I loved those window hinges- sooo cool!
hehehe- am I noisy?
Linda was constantly cracking me up- she is the coolest! And I love how my sweet friends Erin and Vicki are looking into the wrong camera – LOL
See Julie? my best room mate ever – I miss her already totally- I tell you…I so wish we would live closer!!!
Ania and Mou – Mou had her very first snow experience- how cool is that?
I’m so sad I have no photos of Isabelle, Caroline, Sabine or Safo – they were so wonderful and sweet too!!!
Thank you all for this amazing experience and I hope I will see many of you – students and teachers ! – again!
I will post some photos of Paris in a different post :)
I wish I could have found time to take one of your class … seing the results of your attendees and their happiness and satisfaction made me happy … maybe next time :) Thanks for your coming and sharing!
I am very happy that i met you, and having a class with you. everyody loved the piece i made!..hope our path cross again! kisses from sunny Greece

Awesome that you and Julie got to be roomies.

What weekend, thank you again for your kindness and his crazy laugh, so everyone knows what happened in France is still France. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again. I by the improved my English: o))
big kisses
It is coooold – brrrrrr – how is it in your neck of the wood?
Es ist kaaaahalld -brrr – wie siehts bei Euch aus?
Over an acrylic painted background I used a Tattered Angels Screen with clear Gesso and then sprayed with Iridiscent Gold Glimmer Mist so the textured background pops up even more.
Then I dropped some Golden Goddess Glimmer Glam. Sprayed the Star Mirrors with Cornflower and and Concord Chalkboard and also dropped some Golden Goddess Glimmer Glam on top. Sprayed the Tag with the same colors. I clipped off the watch top of the Framed Font and first added some Pewter Gimmer Glaze onto the frame, then spayed with Mint Chocolate Mint and Concord. I used some stamps of the wonderful new Tattered Angels Winter Stamp Set to set off the title.
The photo shows the Hamburg Harbour at the beginning of this year…baby it was cold back then too ;) Sending warm thoughts your way :)
oooh, yeah it IS cold outside. love that layout, lovey wintery colours!
This is so cool lookoing I love it!!
FAb LO…love the effect…clear gesso??? I guess its a must have
Lovely layout!! love you special touches!!!
So almost every time I read your blog there is another supply to add to my wish list.
Love your color choices for this LO and I can feel that cold ice.
Gorgeous Natalie, have to write up clear gesoo on the shoppinglist =)
Here its freeeezing cold to -14 brrrr but its beautiful outside though!
GORGEOUS!! Now I need to go to the art store and find clear gesso!
Pretty cold here right now!
Perfect colour combination for this time of year :))
sehr sehr geniale textur, gefällt mir total gut. das muss ich auch mal probieren :)
Our theme for the Tattered Angels blog for December is glass – so I altered this little glass container from Ikea which was once a spice container. I thought it would be a fun little gift for some neighbors. It is filled with loose Winter Tea.
Das Thema des Tattered Angels Designteams für Dezember ist Glas – und so habe ich diese kleine Glasflasche, die mal eine Gewürzflasche war verwendet. Ich dachte es würde sich gut machen als kleines Geschenk für einige Nachbarn. Gefüllt ist es mit losem Wintertee.
I used Tattered Angels Tinsel Town Glimmer Glam and painted the glass. I used several layers. Then I used the Helmar Crackle Medium over it and after the cracks appeared I polised the whole bottle with Pewter Glaze so the cracks would stand out even more. I sprayed the glass pebbles as well as the Prima Flower with Mint Chocolate Chip Chalkbaord and added some of the Tinsel Town too. I used the “Winter Wishes” Stamp from the beautiful new Tattered Angels Winter Stampset and stamped this on a piece of paper.
Have a gorgeous day today :)
[…] Scrapbook-Trends […]

Awesome Nat!
THis is SO great Nat!
Huhu Nat, einfach nur “cool”! *lol
Liebe Grüße, Siggi
For this years’ advent wreath I used a plant literally translated called “barbwire” in Germany (LOL – I think it is quite funny how unflowery our language sometimes is). This plant has a pretty cool look ….kind of like….barbwire ;) and makes for a pretty fun attachment for the wreath.
Für den diesjährigen Adventskranz habe ich die Stacheldrahtpflanze verwendet, die ihrem Namen mit dem Aussehen wirklich alle Ehre macht :)
I sprayed the plant with Mint Chocolate Chip Chalkboard and also Chalk Chalkboard -it really glimmers and glistens – but it was hard to catch this on photo. I also sprayed the Tattered Angels Glimmer Glass and two ornament mirrors with Chalkboard and added Chandelier Glimmer Glam. Inside the wreath and put some glass pebbles that were painted with Lipstick Glam repeating the candle color.
Die Pflanze habe ich mit Mint Chocolate Chip Chalkboard und Chalk Chalkboard eingesprüht – es glimmert und glittert – aber das ist wirklich schwerig auf einem Foto einzufangen. Darüberhinaus habe ich auch das Tattered Angels Glimmer Glass und zwei Weihnachtsspiegel mit Chalboard eingesprüht und auch Chandelier Glimmer Glam benutzt. Zwischen die Pflanze habe ich mehrere Glastropfen mit Lipstick Glam zur Wiederholung der Kerzenfarbe.
I really like our modern funky advent wreath and can’t wait to lit the candle.
Ich mag unseren modernen, funkigen Advents Kranz und kann es kaum erwarten die Kerze anzuzünden.
ahhh, great idea!! :D
coole idee. und jetzt weiß ich auch warum du in FB auf die pflanze gekommen bist ;)
