Niblo's Garden

Now I'm going huge! I love this piece but it was quite a struggle because of its size - it's hard to make it look interesting and at the same time not overloading. The box with the boys is an empty cigar box - so you can imagine the size of the entire thing. The very first piece I acctually sold :))

I'm back!

We finally moved into our new "old" house! There is still alot to fix and "rebuild" but I just cannot do without a little artwork ;) So I started off with something very little because everything was still crowded with boxes and bags.

These are some inchies I made.

TMTA - Postage Stamps

My entry for this weeks theme:

Wednesday Stamper - Keys

This was alot of fun to make - although very messy... ;) I painted a piece of glass with acrylic colors and scratched away some parts after it was dry. The pictures are glued to the back side (I used some of Rein's freebies - THANK YOU!) Then I stamped the glass with StazOn and used some Distress Embossing Powder for the edges. Stamp by Nara Studio.

Mixed Media Monday - Time

Here is my first entry for the mixed media monday challenge. It's already wednesday - ;) I had a hard time with this one because it is HUGE (compared to the things I usually work on...) It used to be a cabinet door. It's very old so I thought it would be perfect for the theme "time" The old lock is still in it's place... makes me wonder what secrets it once contained...

Gothic Arch Challenge - guardian angel

Here is my entry for this week. Stamps are by Beeswax and Nara Studio.

Gothic Arch - sparkling wings

Here is my entry for this weeks challenge on the Gothic Arch Challenge Blog . I really enjoyed this weeks theme :)) I embossed the wings with holographic embossing powder. Stamps by Beeswax, Oxford Impressions and Nara Studio.

Wednesday Stampers - umbrella

Ok, the umbrella is not exactly the main focus point on this ATC - but the man does have one, you just need to look close... ;)

All stamps by Nara Studio

Happy birthday Heather

Finally I found the time to sit down and stamp again - this is my card for Heather from Fluffy Fatbottoms Twisted Tuesdays challenge blog. Not a masterpiece ;) I guess I need to do some more warming up...

Gothic Arch Challenge - Let's party

here is my entry for this week... These girls don't look too happy about their little party though ;)) Maybe I should add partyhats *lol*

Wednesday Stamper - Children

This is probably one of my favourite themes - I tried to capture a tiny bit of the colorful world of childhood that seems to be full of birds and flowers and berries... :)) I could go on forever.

Stamps by Nara Studio and Beeswax.

Geschenk von Petra

Dieses wunderschöne Freundschaftsbuch und die geniale Karte habe ich von Petra bekommen. Die Farben sind einfach der Wahnsinn!

This was a present from Petra... you should see the colors in real life - they are amazing!

TMTA - Mask

My entry for this week;

for Nancy

This is the gothic arch I made for Nancy. Read more about it here

Nancy, I wish you and your family all the best for the difficult times that lie ahead. I've never been good at finding the right words to say so I'll just leave you the translation of the german stamp at the bottom:

He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11
