Under my skin

Hi Everybody!

Today it's cold, grey and damp outside, so I'm pleased
to be back home again in my warm flat and have some

'playtime'.

For Paint party Friday I have an A3 journal page
another  of 'my' heads to share - okay, sometimes
I have a strange sense of humour. I am also linking

 to Simon Wednesday Challenge, anything goes:

And for Wendy's lovely theme at Tag Tuesday -

anything goes with some lime green - I have a 

tag made for my neighbour's birthday on Friday. He

doesn't read my blog, so it won't spoil the

surprise for him! Mr UM is going on safari again -

 I still have a huge stack of animal print card to

use up!

After we the indoor ski-resort last week we went to

Knechsteden, a cloister Church from the middle ages.

After we go out of the car we saw this flock of

friendly - and hungry - sheep in an old orchard:

The old gate house:

The man standing at the front was singing. The church has

an excellent acoustic, but his performance was such

that I was glad when it was over!

Ancient frescoes:

And yesterday we had a nice sunrise before the sky

clouded over:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Stars and some creatures of the deeps

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a tag meant for Simon Monday Challenge, 

Star light star bright. The background is some icy,

silver card I found in my stash. I tore small pieces of 

blue, painted paper and doilies any layered them

to make the foreground. I sewed it all together.

The trees were made with a hero arts die and the deer

with a Martha Stewart punch. The metallic stars

are from my stash.

I used star-dust stickles to add some sparkle:

And now for the last photos from the Aquazoo:

I loved watching these creatures of the deep:

The lobster has a beautiful colour:

 The octopus was really cool:

I was standing looking into this aquarium, and couldn't see 

anything. Then the crocodile swam over and started

looking at me - I'm very glad there was glass between us:

More beautiful fossils:

Have a great day take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by

T stands for coffee and cake

Hi Everybody!

Tomorrow we are beginning a new challenge at 

Tag Tuesday, and our lovely Wendy will be hosting for the

next 2 weeks. Her theme is

*anything goes - include some lime green*

As always, you have 2 weeks to link to us, and

tags of all formats are welcome.

I made a  tag using a Sizzix

gingerbread-man die and some candy-striped DP.

As always, a little bit of sewing was used to hold

the layers together. A friend visited today, and liked

the tag, so now it has a new home:

Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday,

so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies

of the T gang.

This is the nice cake-breakfast we enjoyed at the indoor

ski resort. G had the latte and the apple cake, the 

cappuccino and mixed fruit delight were mine!

The plates are decorated with edelweiss flowers:

Some more photos of the 'alpine village', showing more 

of the restaurants and bars:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
