T sTands for Tag Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

This evening we will be starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time Wendy is our host and has chosen seashells as her theme. Thanks to all who entered Michele's challenge, and to Michele for hosting. Our blog goes live Monday evening at 9 p.m.

I made a tag using Botticelli's beautiful painting 'The Birth of Venus' and added a few embellishments. The text was added digitally:



And I have another collage with one of my strange faces inspired by Karen O'Brien. I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:




This evening we will also be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit here.

These photos were taken in Neviges 2 years ago. We had some refreshments in a huge flea-market/cafe/restaurant in the old town there:






The cappuccino was not second hand:









On the way back we visited a 'Heimat Museum',  (Heimat  = home, environment) which had a huge collection of things people had in their homes in days gone by. And I still have some of these pieces in use:










And a few funnies:





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

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

I hope we all have  a happy and relaxed weekend - enjoy!

Today I am sharing another A3 mixed media piece for Neet's type challenge at AJJ and my last tag for Michele's blue and orange challenge at Tag Tuesday. For the journal page I have collaged a very elegant type of lady, and given her some extra flowers, feathers and butterflies. The butterflies were fussy cut and just glued on in the middle to make them 'fly'. I used a left-over piece of painted and glittered paper to give more interest (and to use up scraps!) I added a die cut sentiment:






And this is my last tag for Michele's fun blue and orange challenge, once again using up scraps and UFAMTOs (Unidentified flying around my table objects):



And I have some photos from Neviges, taken on the same day as the lake pics I showed yesterday:

I wonder ig this was the tower where Rapunzel was locked up?


The old castle:






The old station, now a restaurnat/hotel:



The old town:










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