Snowmen

a bit of detail...... 

another line up of some of  the watercolor guys.....

no snow here .....yet....

how about you?

Xmas Again

yes, I have been making lots of Xmas cards this year.

Invited a friend over and there was a lot of painting of papers.  We cut,glued

and went crazy at the work table.

For over two weeks I have been adding 

ribbons,fibers and glitter.....seems like it took forever to finish all of them.

Seems I am very into pink and orange this year.

 Also copper and blue...............

and then started quite a few in silver and grey.......

Now I have to address all of these.  I wonder if I will get it all finished in time for

old Saint Nick.

I have not blogged for such a long time.  Life gets in the way sometimes....months went by

and it eventually turned into a year and then more months and here it is ......Christmas time,,,

again.

I hope you are well and thriving.

Enjoy the holiday season.

Merry Christmas-Frohe Weihnachten 2014

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2015!!

Calla Lilies

 I love Calla Lilies.

They are one of my favorite flowers.

 A quick gift. 

 I printed out copies of one of my watercolors that I did sometime ago.

I mounted them on cardstock and added assorted lace, ribbons and paper.  Presto, a little gift.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Think in Color

Think left and think right and think low and think high....

OH the thinks you can think up if only

you TRY!

I think this is a fun quote from Dr. Seuss....don't you?

I like to think in color too....on some watercolor papers.

I think I am going to have a super sunny day....I think you will too.

I think I will share this colorful project with Mikrokosmos Photo.

Purrfect Christmas

 I hope you are relaxed and ready for the purrfect Christmas.

 I made some gift tags for some of my cat loving friends.

Gift tag salad.....ready to get attached to the presents. 

I could not resist,,,,,I had to hang one on my door handle.

Pantone Color of the Year for 2014

 What a beautiful color isn't it....very radiant indeed.  

all fotos Pantone Pinterest

I did not know that orchid was the color for 2014 when I made these

Xmas cards.   

 These trees were cut out of kleenex boxes.  At first I thought I would cut out EACH individual

mosaic stone,,,,well, after I cut out a few I quickly changed my mind and just cut out the 

shapes of a trees.

  The scraps after all that cutting.....or a big mess......

but after much painting, splashing and tearing it made me a nice stash of Xmas cards.

I am sharing this with Macro Monday 2, Sweet Shot Tuesday, Paint Party Friday and Tuesday
Around the World.
Here is a link for Pantone too.

The color of the year for 2013 was emerald green and for 2012 was tangerine tango.

So tell me,,,,what do you think of this year's color of Radiant Orchid?

Go Ahead and Smile

 You know you are somebody´s reason to smile don´t you.....

 It is always a good thing to bring a smile to somebody´s face.

 It makes life that much more enjoyable.

These are some of the birthday cards I made for October.  I know a lot of  people who had

their birthday´s in October.....

Are you an October baby?

I am a January girl myself.....what month were you born in?

I am sharing this with Mandarin Orange Monday.

All Wrapped Up

All wrapped up....a present for a friend.

The card is backed with some of my handpainted paper.

This time with oil pastel. 

I love pink and orange together...so I went a bit overboard didn´t I.

Hope you are well and enjoying your summer!

A Sea of Thanks

Some of my new stamps.

These fish are swimming in a sea of thanks.  

I tore wavy strips of some of my Gelli Plate paper and glued them onto the card fronts.

Stamped some of the Art Journey fish and seashells and added some script and thread.

  

I was lucky enough to win this little jackpot from Godelieve Tijsken´s

stamping blog.  She included one of her handcarved flower stamps for me too.

Thanks a lot Godelieve!!

from Hero Arts.

Wishing you a good weekend!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

The Present

The Present

This year´s Christmas bear comes bearing gifts.

Maybe he visited your house.

Tis the Season

Tis the Season....in a rainbow of washi tape colors. 

Pick a color. 

Any color. 

 Maybe you are a purple person.

Or a pink person. 

I love the color orange.

I had fun using up some of my assorted washi tapes.

Some quick and easy Christmas cards.

I am sharing this with Take a Word.

You  know what they say don´t you...

A girl can never be too rich, too skinny or have

too much washi tape.

Joy to the World

Joy to the World

A very bah humbug kitty kat....he may feel silly wearing Santa´s

hat but I told him he´ll get extra fish for dinner tonight so 

he agreed.

He wants to wish you all a very Merry Kittymas.

Summer in Winter

Considering how much snow we have gotten over the last few days I really

had to read this sentiment a few times today...especially everytime I went

out to shovel a bit more snow.

The joys of a German winter.

I am sharing this with Stampotique Designers.

Dear Santa

 Dear Santa

Are you ready for Santa to come down your chimney yet or maybe you don´t

do Christmas or maybe you don´t have a chimney.  Maybe he just comes in the 

front door, looks for the cookies and milk and eats and runs.

Do you have a crazy time with Christmas preparations or are you into 

a low key Christmas this year?

Angel

Another Christmas card.

A simple angel in oil pastel on a watercolor background.

Do you send out cards at Christmas or is it a fading tradition.

Maybe more and more people send Christmas email cards

instead.

Leave a comment and tell me if you send or don´t send.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Winter Forest

 Painting some winter forest cards.

Soon my surroundings will look like winter....till then I am enjoying

the November sunshine.

Have a good weekend.
