wonderful winter

New year, new challenges at challenge up your life! 
Let's start with an anything goes challenge.

I created a winter layout and I had so much fun with the stitching around the snowflake.

I stamped the title with some older alpa stamps, colored it with shimmering gelatos and fussy cut it out. The word "winter" is a stamp from klartext. 

The sparkling snowflakes are fussy cut out from a blue and silver glitter paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Schneefeld

The first time I saw this challenge of  CSI, I knew that I wanted to try a technique I wanted to use for a long time. And now, I did it!

I cut out a circle and stamped around it to create my own background. I used lots of stamps out of my stash. I love how it turned out!

Meersüchtig

The challenge of todays mixed bag challenge at Lasting Memories is to use torn edges. 

In der heutigen Challenge bei Lasting Memories wollen wir gerissenes Papier sehen. 

Ich habe graues Papier mit weißer Stempelfarbe und den Stempeln von creative depot bestempelt. 

I stamped onto a grey paper to create my own patterned paper.

 

I love these fishes from creative depot. I stamped them on grey paper and embossed them with white embossing powder.

Ich liebe diese Fischstempel von creative depot. Hier habe ich sie auf graues Papier gestempelt und weiß embosst. 

 

Für den Titel habe ich mir ähnliche Schriftarten wie auf dem Stempel raus gesucht und ihn dann mit der Cameo ausgeschnitten. Im Hintergrund habe ich mit einem Stencil und transparenter Strukturpaste Schiffchen aufgetragen. 

The title is cut out with my cameo. I tried to find similar fonts like these on the stamp. For more texture on the background, I used a stencil and transparent texture paste to create these boats.

summer days

The last "plants-challenge" at Lasting Memories comes with fruits!


I used a pineapple cutfile from the silhouette designstore, cut it out with my cameo and backed it with several patterned papers. The title is a cutfile, too. I think it is from misskatecuttables.

Here you can see the backed pineapple a bit closer. It took a lot of time, but I love how it turned out.

Diesen Monat wollen wir eure sommerlichen Anhänger bei Challenge up your life sehen! 
Und bei Lasting Memories sind diese Woche Blumen gefragt. Da ich zur Zeit so viel um die Ohren hab, hab ich nur ein Layout für 2 Challenges gemacht....

This month we want to see your summer tags at Challenge up your life! 
And at Lasting Memories the assignment this week is: flowers. Time is busy these days, so I decided to create one layout for both challenges.

Für diese Challenge habe ich einige Tags auf meinem Sommerlayout drapiert.

Für die Tags und die Blumen, die ich aus einem Designpapier ausgeschnitten habe, habe ich das neue Papier aus der Kollektion indigo & Ivy von Pink Paislee verwendet.

Hier noch ein Detailbild:

I was inspired by the scene with the waves and the sea.

The sentiment is a stamp from klartext stamps

im Herzen barfuß

Eine neue Challenge bei Challenge up your life is online! Ihr wundert euch vielleicht, warum heute, bisher sind die Challenges doch immer samstags gestartet. Wir vom Designteam haben uns überlegt, dass wir aus dem bisher 2-wöchentlichen, einen monatlichen Blog machen. So habt ihr mehr Zeit für eure Kreationen und man kann sich besser merken, wann die nächste Challenge startet.

Hello scrappy friends! I know you are waiting anxious for the next challenge!

We decided to change from a 2-weekly to a monthly challenge. From now on you have more time to create your cards, layouts etc. appropriate to the assignment and it is easier to keep the date in mind when the next challenge starts.

Ok, ich bin mit meinem Post etwas spät dran, aber besser spät als nie. ;-)

Für mein Layout habe ich getupftes Vellum hinter mein Foto geklebt. Dann habe ich mit den tollen Textstempeln von Creative.Depot auf einen Streifen Vellum den Titel weiß embosst. Ich liebe den Effekt! 

Die netten Strandhäuser sind auch bei dem Set dabei. Ich habe sie ausgeschnitten und mit Abstandspads aufgeklebt. 

Danke für deinen Besuch!

Innsbruck

I stamped the word Innsbruck several times and colored one letter of each word with gilding polish. I also stamped the other words with some of my new alpha stamps from annedesign.
