Stampotique

I love this way of art journaling, just layering with marks. First I choose a color scheme and pick different mediums with these colors. That could be stains, acrylics, ink pads, sprays, neo colors and acrylic inks. I also use a lot of stamps and stencils. Than I just play :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Stampotique

New stamps are always so much fun, definitely when you love the designs. This art journal page was made with the Gelli Plate and I used a new Stampotique stamp from our new designer Kate Crane. Love her, she is such an inspiration.

So exciting, I'm going to give my first workshop at De Scrapheap (Dutch store). It's a Gelli Plate workshop and of course we are going to use lots of Stampotique stamps ;-)

Guest Designer for Roc

I'm really honored Roc asked me to be a guest designer for her blog. I really love her awesome designs, so I didn't had to think twice ;-) This is what I made for her.
The first is an art journal page, which I made with the Gelli Plate. The second is a card, where I used Dylusions and MFT Die-Namics. The third, and my favorite, is a matchbox also with Dylusions. When you open it, it has a special message :-)

Documented Life Project

Two more pages for The Documented Life Project. The second page was made with a technique Roben Marie showed in this You Tube video. Love this way of mark making.

NEW Stampotique stamps :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Round Robin Notebook

This was the last round of this Round Robin Notebook. It's so difficult to take a decent picture, because the journals are so thick. So excuse me for the wonky picture. This page was made with the Gelli Plate, a sort of mop-up technique.
Now I have to wait till my own book arrives, I'm so curious how it looks. Hopefully I will take more time now for Life Book, cause I'm terribly behind.

Thanks for stopping by!

Round Robin Notebook

Another Round Robin is on it's way. This round of 8 participants is almost over and the notebooks are getting really fat ;-)

Round Robin

Finished another journal for the Round Robin I'm participating in. Did something similar with my Gelli Plate, this one is a mop-up page.

Thanks for stopping by!

Round Robin

A little Round Robin Notebook update. In this journal I only used Distress products. For this particular page I almost used them all ;-) I love mark making, it looks gorgeously weird. I used my own carved stamps, Mindy Lacefield stamps and of course some stamps from Stampotique.

Thanks for stopping by!

Round Robin Notebook

For the second time I have joined a Round Robin Notebook. Unfortunately with the first round I never got my journal back. Hopefully I'm more lucky this time. For this round everybody has to make their own background. These are some of my pages I've made in my own journal. Most stamps that I've used are from Stampotique. For the backgrounds I used Dylusions in different ways. Except the cover, which is made with the Gelli Plate.

Hopefully soon the first book of another participant arrives, so I can really start with this round :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Cards

Just made these CAS cards for friends who could need some support. Both are made with My Favorite Things Die-Namics Blueprints. On the first I used Dylusions spray for coloring the paper and on the second one I stamped the sentiment with Dylusions White Linen spray. This tip came from Dyan Reaveley she gave on the CHA. I saw it on a YouTube video, I wasn't there myself unfortunately ;-)

Wish

Hello lovely peeps, how was your Christmas? Ours was filled with family, food en pressies. Now we are getting to the end of 2013, I can't believe how fast the time went. In a couple of days it's 2014! A new year always feels like a fresh start to me. So maybe this time I will hold on to my new year resolutions. You know, the basics: healthier eating, more exercises and less worrying. Anyway...I wish you all a happy and creative new year :-D
