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.

Framed

A little gift for my godchild. 

 I painted the frame to look like a Birch tree.

A closer view of the texture on the frame.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

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.

I am sharing this with the Art Journey Design Team.

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.

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.

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!!

Paper Fun 9

I am at it again with Paper Fun....splashing and throwing the

paint around painting bookcover papers.

You can see some of my previous Paper Fun here.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

How is your weekend going so far?  What have you been painting lately?

Small Joy

A quick little card....

I am sharing this over at Stempeloase. This is a brand new quote stamp

from Hero Arts.

Wishing you a good weekend!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

All the best to you in the coming new year!

I am sharing this card with Stampotique Designers.

The Present

The Present

This year´s Christmas bear comes bearing gifts.

Maybe he visited your house.

Be Merry!

Be Merry!

I hope you all had a wonderful day!    

I hope Santa was good to you. 

Pear Tree

I spied the bah humbug kitty kat hanging out in the pear tree today.

He is not fooling me though.  He is sitting in a bed of partridge feathers 

and even has the evidence hanging out of his mouth!

Sure,,,,,what partridge?

This is an ATC size ornament for my tree this year.

Is your tree decorated yet?

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday and  Stampotique Designers.

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.

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?

That Time of Year

Yes, it is that time of year again.  Everytime I turn around it seems

it is time to make some Christmas cards.

I put my elves to work,,,look at the calender.  Only five weeks

till the fat man brings.

I am sharing this with Stampotique Designers and
Crazy Amigos.

Paint Party Cards

I have been busy having a fun watercolor paint party here with

some greeting cards I have been making. 

Drawing some lines,,,filling them in with watercolor and then writing

a wish. 

Some happy hearts for you.

Have a happy weekend!

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.
