Paper Fun 10

Eat Fresh 

Catch of the Day 

 I painted some watercolor shapes in various colors.

Then I cut them up and added the cat with his lunch for today....fresh fish. 

 Of course I had to use up some of my washi tape and twine.

Last but not least....the litter,,,,the whole Kat and Kaboooodle.

I am sharing this with the Art Journey Design Team and Paint Party Friday.

Roses

I had some time to make some bookmarks. 

Roses are one of my favorite flowers.

 A Pink, Green and Gray color combination.

I used Art Journey stamps with watercolor and finished them off with pen and ink.

A few more detail shots.

If you would like one of these rose bookmarks,,,,leave me a comment

and  my assistant will pick a name next week and send one to you.

I am sharing this with the Art Journey Design Team.

I made this tag using the snow paper above.

I also made this tag too.

Get a head start on your Xmas projects.  Use the snow

paper and I will post it here on my blog.

If anything, it will cool you down from the summer heat if you 

work on snow projects....Santa told me so.

Need more freebie papers for weekend paper fun....get them here.

Thanks to all of you who have used the papers so far...Godelieve,

Anneke and Femmy from yesterday and Evelyn today.

Have a cooooool weekend!

Hope you are having a good start to your weekend.

Make it a good one!

Mail

Snail Mail,,What´s That?

She obviously doesn´t remember what it is like to

receive a letter from a friend or maybe she doesn´t like

to send greeting cards. I think she has an attitude problem,,

don´t you?

Maybe we should all send her a get well card so she snaps

out of it,,,what do you think?

I am sharing this with Stampotique.

Have a sunny weekend!

Tomorrow

Light Tomorrow with Today

This sounds like good advice to me.

A simple bookmark for sharing at Less is More.

The quote is from Quiet Fire Design.

This is the reverse side.

Want more green inspiration,,,then go to

Decor Green.

Connections II

Connections II

Today I have two bookmarks/tags as the second in

the Connections Series. The green ribbon is woven

through screw punched holes on the watercolored paper

and looped out on the upper left corner.

I then edged the piece with tissue tape.

Here I painted wet-in-wet shapes of green and yellow

watercolor and then punched holes for the yellow yarn.

As a final touch I added striped washi tape on the edges.

Before washi tape was all the rage I would mask off my

edges and draw stripes with various gel pens...washi tape

saves so much time.

The quote is from Quiet Fire Design in Canada.

This is my entry to Summer of Color.

Borders

Thank You

I painted three stripes of watercolor,

doodled and stamped. Added some ribbon

and a button and called it done.

Thanks for coming by and leaving your

comment. I appreciate your input.

Wouldn´t this bookmark look nice in your

latest summer novel you are reading?

Theme Thursday....borders.

This Little Piggy

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market and bought himself

some cookies, pies, cakes, ice cream, chocolate,

pizza with extra cheese, pancakes, cheeseburgers

and a DIET COKE!

He has to watch his figure doesn´t he?

Or should he get diet Pepsi instead,,,what do

you think?

This is my entry for the Three Muses and

Summer of Color.

Dream in Pink

Dream in Pink

Do you dream in color?

Why not have your next dream in Pink!

The Crazy Amigos are nuts over Pink this week.

Art Tag

Art is Letting your Fingers Capture what your

Heart is Hearing

An art tag using using a wonderful quote from
Quiet Fire Designs.
This is my entry for Tag Tuesday.

Chocolate

Can you ever get enough chocolate?
This is a chocolate tag which I sent to
Anneke back in January.

She sent me this tag back in December and

since she loves the color green and comes

from the land of fine chocolate....I knew she

would appreciate such a tag.

You may also remember another

chocolate tag of mine.

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.

Spilled Ink

No Use Crying over Spilled Ink

A tag/bookmark for a calligraphy friend of mine.
She spilled a whole bottle of precious sepia ink.

This is also my entry over at Wednesday Stamper.

Le Chat Noir

Le Chat Noir

A simple tag in pink, black and white.

Less is More and Tag Tuesday,,,just in the

nick of time too.

Only in My Dreams

Only in My Dreams

I eat apples like some people eat potato chips.
Only in my dreams do apples grow in the
shape of hearts....probably because I love to
hear that crunching noise as I bite down on a
good old Granny Smith, Delicious or a Pink Lady.

I will attach this to my niece´s Valentine´s Day
gift. It also happens to fit right in with a few
themes this week on various blogs. I will link them
and you can have some fun looking at all the other
entries.

Tag Tuesday....Valentine´s Day
Take a Word.......Botanical
Crazy Amigo......Tag
Theme Thursday.......Love

One Layer Tag

This is a one layer tag that I use as a

bookmark.

Wednesday Stamper´s theme is Tag

and Gingersnaps is One Layer.

Winter

Happy Winter


I used a copy of one of my winter watercolor paintings
and doodled in black ink, stamped some snowflakes,,,,
doodled in white ink, splattered some gesso and
edged it in white.


I then adhered it to purple, swirl stamped paper and
attached it to a piece of bookcover board.


Holes were punched in one corner where I attached
some ribbon and some metal decorations. To top
it all off I pasted an old snowman postage stamp
and called it finished.


Winter has given us a break here in Germany
but it is by no means done with us yet. I prefer cold
temperatures and am glad to see that this week´s
theme at Tag Tuesday is WINTER.

Springtime in January

SPRING

I feel like I am definitely jumping the gun on the seasons here.

I know a lot of our snow melted last weekend but

that doesn´t mean it´s spring.

These two tags came about because a bunch of my painting

friends and I are taking one of our friends out for a

surprise birthday dinner to a restaurant called

The Maganolia. I was in charge of making the card.

The photos came from a friend. I cut out the magnolias

and collaged them onto a handpainted background.

Added a strip of fabric along the top edge and finished

it off with a few stamps, papers and ribbons.

Gabi´s Tag

This is the tag we will give Gabi.

Here I added the knife, spoon and fork because on the back

it says,,,,one free dinner at The Magnolia.

Gabi loves to knit so I added and over abundance of fibers.

She can later use this as a bookmark and have a little

keepsake from all of us for her birthday in 2011.

This dinner came at the right time as these tags

fit right in over at Tag Tuesday with a bit of fabric.

Also at Wednesday Stamper where the theme is music.

Even at Take a Word where everything is beautiful.

And last but not least,,,Theme Thursday featuring spring.

What Makes You Sing?

Money Talks,,,Chocolate Sings

A creamy piece of Belgian chocolate direct from

Belgium is enough to make anyone´s taste buds

sing a pop tune or even an opera aria for that matter.

Louise from Tag Tuesday wants us to use our

scraps leftover from Christmas. I don´t have

any cardmaking scraps but I have plenty of

candy brochures and wrappers from all this

Christmas Belgian chocolate that we ate.

I know it´s a rough job but somebody has to do it.

I cut up a brochure to create a praline edge at the

bottom as well as the tasty piece my model is holding

in her hand. A blue foil wrapper is used as a collage

element including some of the brochure´s script.

This is all adhered to a watercolor background which I

stenciled with music notes and stamped with flowers.

Go pay Tag Tuesday a vist....you´ll like it and while

you are clicking around the web... go take a look at

Take a Word where the prompt is Music.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnachten, Joyeux Noel,

Prettige Kerstdagen,

Feliz Navidad and Buon Natale

Wishing each and everyone a very Merry Christmas!

This is one of my necklace tags. It is the perfect accessory for any
well dressed tag this season.

Crazy Amigo, The Three Muses and Something Completely Different
have the theme of Christmas this week. Tag Tuesday is also featuring
the Colors of Christmas with accents in either silver or gold.
Go have a look at all of them for a last little bit of Christmas cheer.
