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.

Lockenpracht

The next challenge with the focus on using patterned paper at the Lasting Memories challenge blog is to use plaid pattern.


This really challenged me, cause I don't like plaid patterns.... 
So, I decided to use a paper from one of my favourite brand: Maja Design. I love the pastel colors and I really like how the layout turned out!

I used an alphabet cutfile from just nick and created the word with my silhouette programme.

 

After cutting it out, I backed the title with some more of the beautiful Maja Design papers.

              R - red
              I - ink
              S - sunkissed, summer
              P - Pinkfresh (simple & sweet)

Some details from the backed cutfile:

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.

Beautiful

The next recipe challenge at Lasting Memories is online!  

The recipe is to use: 1 photo, 2 torn papers and 3 or more tags

I used an older paper from BoBunny (it was one of the winter collections and the back of the paper fits perfect with the shirt of my daughter). 

I really love these thicker words! The butterflies are cut out from a Vicky Boutin paper.

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.

Leinen los

New month, new challenges at the Lasting Memories challenge blog! The first assignment is to use the colors red and white predominantly on your layout. 

This reallly challenges me, because red is not my favorite color. 

I found some photos from our kids in this red sailboat and they were perfect for this challenge!

For decoration, I used the cute stamps from creative depot and fussy cut them out.

I used a stencil and white texture paste on the red acrylic paint.

Travel the world

This week of our stamp challenges at Lasting Memories we want to see tiny stamps on your layouts!

And I used the actual challenge of CSI to get more inspiration for my layout.

I used a tiny phrases roller stamp and a tiny star stamp from cats on appletrees.
And I used the awesome paper from maja design. The globe is from the 6x6 paper pack "denim friends".

 I created this title with some letters from Just Nick and cut it out with my cameo.
Here you can see the tiny stampy lying on my layout.

Thanks for stopping by!

sea

Our new challenge for this month is online on the Lasting Memories layout challenges blog:

Look up at the Sky Day is a fun day to check out what's up there. 'Ya never know what might be up there. An asteroid or meteor may be on its way. A solar eclipse could be on display. A flock of geese or birds may be overhead (you may need to duck for cover!). or, the clouds may be forming into interesting characters and patterns.

Take a few minutes out from your busy day to look up at the sky today. If nothing else, the break from the routine will be relaxing.

LM #442 - Create a layout about what you see looking up at the sky

And this is mine: I love the sea and the cloudy sky with the sun shining through.

I used some cloud cutfiles from the cut shoppe and Just nick. The stripe stamp is my newest achievement from the "Stempelmesse Süd" from anne581.

Heute zeige ich euch ein Layout passend zur Challenge von off the rails scrapbooking:

Today I'll show you a layout with this moodboard from off the rails scrapbooking:

Ich habe viele der Federn von SF-Stamps auf weißen Cardstock gestempelt und ausgeschnitten. Dahinter habe ich mit den oxide-Stempelkissen violet, seedless preserves, broken china und chipped sapphire Farbe auf den weißen Hintergrund geschmiert, mit Wasser besprüht und runter laufen lassen.

First I stamped lots of feathers from SF-Stamps onto white cardstock and fussy cut them out. Then I smudged some of the distress oxides (violet, seedless preserves, broken china and chipped sapphire) behind them onto my white background, sprayed water onto it and let the water ran down. 

Nachdem ich die Federn etwas fest geklebt habe, habe ich noch mit goldenem Faden darüber genäht.

After gluing down the feathers, I machine stitched through them with golden thread.

I want to take part at the challenge of paper issues (fussy cutting). 

Thanks for stopping by!
