Wednesday Mix

Hi Everybody!
Today is the start  of a new challenge at


SUMMER

As always, projects of all formats are allowed and you have 2 weeks
to link your summer creations to us. I made a hybrid page using a painted background, a photo of the beautiful Frida Kahlo and some digital enhancements. I am also linking to 
Art Journal Journey, in my garden there is:




Lots of flowers and wild flowers everywhere:




Blue skies:



And some people have been creative with the left-overs of their grill parties:




Have a great day, take care, and stay safe!
Thanks a lot for coming by!

TSFT, coffee and more

Hi Everybody!

Our theme at Tag Tuesday today is tea or coffee, so I'm sure you can guess that I chose coffee!  Today is also T stands for Tuesday at Elizabeth's blog, so
here a big welcome to all of the T Gang - help yourself to coffee and biscuits!



For Art Journal Journey I have a double spread in my new/old journal - flowers and butterflies are in moment very much in evidence everywhere.




At TIOT our challenge 'make us smile' runs for another week, so you have plenty of time to enter. I made another double page in my journal, using DP as background, and stamps from Lost Coast Design.




This morning started off a bit cloudy, but the big heat soon came back. I am looking forward to being able to do a bit more when the temps drop a bit, just now it is too hot to do anything:



 I watched one ship towing another along the Rhine, the motors must be very strong. It's good to see that they help each other in
emergencies:


I like watching the crew do their work:







Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Monday Mix

Hi Everybody!

Here it is still very hot and humid, but we are hoping for some cooler weather from Tuesday on - I am looking forward to it! My apartment is just unbearably hot.

For Art Journal Journey, in my garden there is, I have a hybrid page. It was put together using a painted background,  a photo taken near here, and a digi stamp from Day for Daisies, which was hand coloured with Gelatos. And not to forget my balcony blackbird, who likes to be shown on lots of pages.






There must have been some rain in the night, because as the sun rose this morning, the fields were steaming:


Some pictures from my walk:


Goya was on the Rhine again:



This black beetle crossed my path:


The cormorant was watching out for fish:



 I love this street by the Basilica:



And this is the first time I have seen red and white striped hollyhocks:


Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Flip-flop

Hi Everybody!

It's been another hot and muggy day here.
It was too hot to cook so I've been eating fruit and salad, all cold and juicy!

For Art Journal Journey, in my garden there is - Yvonne's lovely and very popular theme,  I am showing a spread from my 'old' new journal. I used a picture I cut out of the newspaper some time back, coloured the page with Gelatos to match and added the words.




This was the sky yesterday evening, very impressive!


I visited the horses again on my walk:





I always enjoy the flowers growing along the Rhine:






And I am wondering how the owner of this shoe, which was on a wall by the Basilica, got home:


Have a great day you all, take care, and stay safe - 
this world keeps getting scarier and scarier!
Thanks a lot for coming by!
