T stands for Tuesday, TIOT and Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Tuesday is another day to celebrate all the Ts -

TIOT, Elizabeth's TSFT, and Tag Tuesday.

At TIOT we are starting a new challenge -

Add a Quote.

As always, projects of all formats are welcome,

and you have 2 weeks to link your creations.

Hope to see YOU there!

I made a mixed media tag, using a napkin on a gessoed and

collaged background.  The clock was added with a stencil

(LaBlanche). I added some Frantage EP to add texture, a

computer generated quote, and sewed the tag to a 

coordinating backing. The embellishments were added

using silicone glue.

Today is half time at our challenge at Tag Tuesday, I have a tag 

made from recycled and inked cardboard. I dipped the tag in Utee, 

and stamped into it while it was hot. I added some recycled paper scraps

and some textile flowers. The wings are die-cuts from LaBlanche.

I added a little bit of 'nature' to round it off. Hope you find time to join 

us in the coming week!

At Elizabeth's blog we meet every Tuesday to share our drinks

and more. I hope the link will be possible today, poor Elizabeth

is having big problems with her blog.

On Saturday I met up with some friends in the Altstadt. We started

with coffee and cake. I chose this marzipan and cherry jelly tartlet:

The others took 'Bienenstich' , a cake with vanilla pudding and

caremelised almonds:

And our drink was coffee:

The Altstadt was full of visitors. We enjoyed looking at

these little carts, which can drive 90 kilometers an hour:

There were thousands of people at the restaurants and cafes

along the Rhine, I would not have enjoyed sitting there:

I love these figures on the advertising columns:

Lots of Easter decorations in the shop windows:

How much is that doggy in the window?

The Tour de France will be starting here in the Altstadt:

And last but not least, another drink:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Sunday This and That

Hi Everybody!

I've just been watching the sun rise up through the

morning mist, and it looks like it will be a

beautiful Sunday, so hope your day will

be good, too.

Yesterday I was awake very early, as always, and had time

for some crafting before I went for my morning walk.

This mixed media tag is meant for  Things with Wings, at

Tag Tuesday, and for Simon Monday Challenge, rainbow.

The background is part of a motherboard I made recently,

using the cardboard backing from a sketch pad, which was gessoed,

painted, sprayed and splashed - fun! I used some

three dimensional flower and insect stickers I

recently discovered in one of my many boxes, and put them

round a vintage image (LaBlanche). I added some lace and a

ribbon hanger, and fixed it all to the painted background.

This tag is for Sandie's Go Tag Thursday Challenge, where

the theme is stamps - either postage ones or rubber ones,

so I used both. The background image is from Gecko Galz

and has been mounted onto a piece of mirri-card. I added

a postage stamp, and then used some mail-art stamps. I sewed it 

onto a piece of peeled cardboard which was gessoed and then 

dipped in Utee EP.

These photos were taken on my walk to the Rhine

yesterday:

I love the fresh green of the pollard willows on the meadows:

I always enjoy walking through these tall trees:

The avenue of chestnut trees leads to the Ferry:

This tree at the 'Diakonie' is the loveliest one of all:

In the afternoon I met up with friends in the Altstadt (old town)

but more about that another time.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Tulips

Hi Everybody!

I'm happy that it's weekend, hope you are, too!

For Paint Party Friday, and More Mixed media, anything goes / 

optional yellow, I have an A3 mixed media piece made

this week at art group:

Spring continues to spring, and I enjoy the sunrise

day by day:

The crow is trying to hide in the tree:

I love seeing moss and plants growing on the 

castle walls:

And the tulips brought spring into my home:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot fo coming by!
