About mini horses and summer stories....

Hi there,

last year on a lazy sunny friday evening i met "Friedel".
Friedel is a cute mini horse - and together we went for a walk over sunburnt fields...

No fear! I did not rode him...

For a long time i thought about how to scrap about our little summer adventure....
Something colorful and funny.... but i couldn't decide which paper to choose.

And than i had an idea. Why not use all the papers?

Therefor the Tag & Bookplate Die (#656938) is perfect...
so i was able to use all kind of patterns and papers...

And the bookplates are so cute for a little journaling...

What do you think?

Hallo ihr,

letztes Jahr an einem faulen sonnigen Freitag Abend habe ich "Friedel" kennengelernt.
Friedel ist ein Mini-Pony - und zusammen sind wir über die sonnenverbrannten Felder spaziert...

Keine Sorge - ich bin nicht auf ihm geritten...

Lange habe ich darüber nachgedacht wie ich unser gemeinsames Abenteuer verscrappe.
Schön bunt und lustig... aber ich konnte mich nicht für ein Papier entscheiden.

Und dann hatte ich eine Idee... Warum nicht alle Papiere verwenden?

Hierfür ist das Tag & Bookplate Die (#656938) perfekt.
So konnte ich alle Farben und Muster benutzen...

Und die kleinen Bookplates aus dem Set sind so süß für kleinen Text....

Was denkt ihr?

A "Congrats!" Layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix peeps!

Happy Sunday to all of you ....
Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day with your loved ones!

Today I prepared another layout for you using New Sizzix dies and a 

"touch" of old ones ....a perfect combination :-)
This photo of my son was taken last Summer on his 11th birthday -
a day certainly worth remembering :-) and treasuring on the wall.

*      *      *

To give more dimension and "glam" to the letters from my title I 

added "Dimensional Magic".  To be sure the letters won't  wrinkle and

to make them flat I die cut each letter three times.

 Then I adhered each letter on top of each other - it makes them now stable.

Subsequently I added the three dimensional accent.

N.B. I used the exclamation mark as a "body" for the dragonfly. 

 It took 3 hours for the letters to dry!

But once dry the result is simply amazing. 

As a final touch I distressed the letters with ink. 

 The Bookplate was die cut from corrugated cardboard and dark brown pattern paper.

When I adhered the pattern paper on top of the corrugated cardboard I distressed the

pattern paper with sanding paper. As a result you get "white" spots - 

these white spots I painted with blue paint.

I did almost the same with the die cut pattern paper matting the photo.

First I die cut the paper by using one of the NEW Mixed Media dies.

Then I painted the edges with gesso and once drie I painted with blue paint.

I used this flower shape to decorate my embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed my project today!

Have a creative Sunday!
