T stands for floral and more

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at

Tag Tuesday
As always, you have 2 weeks to join in, and tags of all formats are allowed.
It's my turn to host, and I have chosen 'floral' as our theme, inspired by all the wonderful summer flowers I see everyday. I used an 8" tag, which I covered with some hand-printed paper from Thailand before sewing it in place. The flowers were stamped using one of my hand-carved stamps and fussy cut before arranging them on the tag. Quick and simple!

My second tag is a digital one in summery pinks and yellows. The background was hand painted, the lady is one I drew some years back. Other elements are from Serif. This is also a reminder that you still have a week to join in the 'Things with wings' challenge at TIOT:

Today we're also celebrating  the 2nd on the 2nd and T stands for Tuesday

at Elizabeth's blog. I am reshowing some journal pages in my small journal (A5), which I originally showed 2 years back:

At the moment it is Schützenfest (Marksmen's Festival) in our little town, which means bunting, parades, a fair and a lot of activities which all somehow involve beer drinking....Here they were playing really well, so hadn't yet had (m)any 'refreshments'!

A band was playing at the square:

The refreshments are ready - a warm welcome to all of the T group, hope there is enough to go round:

I sat here on a quiet morning and enjoyed my coffee:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

It's weekend

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing you all a happy weekend. It's scorching hot, so I will be going out early for my walk. I made a quick journal page using stencils and my hand-carved stamps over a brush-wipe page. I added more colour with pencils. The frame and quote were added digitally:

The pictures were taken last weekend on my Sunday walk. This is the end of our road:

I enjoyed walking through the fields to the Rhine:

The corn is taller than I am:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Lots of colour

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are having a good week. It's hotting up again here, not my fave, but at least it got the laundry dried in record time.

I have been playing with the stamps I made at my group these past weeks, and have been printing them onto rather large (A2) sheets, just having fun and relaxing. 

I am linking to Paint Party Friday.

This  head is about A4 in size so 4 fitted nicely onto one sheet:

I kept the Buddha heads all the same colour:

The cheeky cat faces:

And with a digitally added quote:

Colourful ladies:

(I need to use a ruler next time I try this!)

The photos were taken on our way home on Saturday afternoon:

Flowers 'on the rocks'

There were 3 herons searching the field for edibles:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
