Handmade Traveler's Notebook from Action Luxe Paper Block

Hey hey hey!

It's time for something different than usual. I am sharing a travlers journal set up today for our upcoming summer holidays. I have a flip through video for you over on my YouTube channel:

I played with a Luxe Paper Pad from Action. The journal itself is cut with the Eileen Hull Journal die. The little envelopes are cut with my Silhouette Cameo. Almost all Ephemera Pieces are also from Action. Lie the brad and the washi tapes.
The word die cuts are made with Tim Holtz dies.

DIY: Traveler's Journal with SnapPap (KraftTex)

Hi there!

Recently I started scrapbooking in a Traveler's Notebook Instead of doing 12" by 12" layouts.
It's a lot faster and the endproduct is not so big.
I needed a new Traveler's journal for that so I decided to make one with SnapPap. I coloured the cover with PanPastels.

Here is a video on how I did the colouring:

Mixed Media Thoughts #7 - Intuitive Art Journal Play

Hi there!


It's time for a new video in my series "Mixed Media Thoughts". This time I used an old photo of my beloved grandmother with her grandfather. When I was a child she always told me how happy she was when she could visit her grandparents. I felt like the same. The happiest place in the world was to at my grandparents home.
Unfortunately I lost her this year at the age of 90. Now I try to bring her back into my life by using some memories I found on the attic. I miss her so much.

About this series:
I'm sharing some of my intuitive art journal spreads in this series. All videos will NOT be part of any Design Team work. I pick the supplies that I wanna use right in this moment.
Art Journaling is a very big part of my creative life. It means, I find time to get some mental relief, I write down the thoughts or quotes that are imortant for me.
Creating in my journal is also some kind of art practicing. I learn a lot about the different mediums, I am using, and I develope new ideas to use in prospective work.

Of course I will always give you a list of supplies. I know how frustrating it is, if you see a tool in a video and can't find out what it is. You will find the supplies in the video description.

I hope I can give you some inspiration. Art journaling doesn't have to be perfect!!! The result must have a meaning to YOU.
Your body needs movement your soul needs colours, patterns and words - no perfection!

Mini Album with DCWV

I used the brand new awesome DCWV DIY Mini Albums Project Stack (available at Michaels) to create this lovely memory:

This stack is so brilliant. I've never put together a mini in such a short time and I think it looks great. There's everything you need in this stack. Also the stickers and banners. I especially love the transperency sheets, because of the gold foil on it.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Scrapbook Layout with DCWV and Viva Las VegaStamps!

Hallo Ihr Lieben.
Heute möchte ich mal wieder ein traditionelles Layout zeigen für die aktuelle DCWV Stack-a-holic Challenge. Ich liebe die Statement Kollektion, da sie perfekt für die Fotos meiner Ruckksacktour durch die Canyons of the West, die ich vor 13 Jahren gemacht habe, sind.
Es war ganz früh am morgen, an diesem Tag, als der Bus irgendwo anhielt und unser Begleiter meinte wir sollen mal 100m den Weg hinaufgehen. Plötzlich ging die Sonne direkt über dem Grand Canyon auf! Es war echt HAMMER, da ich ja auch nicht wußte was mich erwartet! Ich bekomme heute noch Gänsehaut, wenn ich mich zurück erinnere!
Sämtliche Stempel auf dem Layout sind natürlich von Viva Las VegaStamps!
Hi everyone.
I want to share my layout for the DCWV Stack-a-holic challenge! I really enjoy the statement items! It is perfect for my Green Tortoise Canyons of the West trip I went on 13 years ago.
It was early in the morning, still dark, when our bus arrived (i didn't know where, at this moment) and our guide told us to go out of the bus and walk a short distance...
I saw the sunrise at the Grand Canyon! This was so amazing!!! We had some great days there! All stamped images are from Viva Las VegaStamps!
