some catching up...

Hi all,

 I just came back from an awesome vacation in USA, I have been traveling there for 3.5 weeks and seen a lot of beautiful things.  If you want to see what I did on my travels you can go to my Travel you Tube Channel here.

I only had my phone with me so the videos are all shot and edited using my phone, that has not as many options as my computer so it was hard to edit and add music etc. to the videos, I hope you like them anyway, I tried to make them as good as possible.

While I was away I did post videos, I had schedualed them before I left and that went well, glad it did because it turns out I can not put videos live from my phone, no idea why that did not work, maybe I need to download another app, maybe it is just the phone and you tube don't like eachother.

I do know my phone does not like blogger, I can do basic things on my phone, but adding a picture to a post seems to much to ask, that's why ther was nothing happening here.

But am back now and promise to be a better blogger.

In this post I will add the things I have allready shown on my you tube craft channel while I was away, I will add links to the videos so you can see how it it made, and add a list of the product used to each project.

so here we go:

TheSailor is a stamp by Chocolate Baroque / Speshink., I stamped it colred it using pencils ( Derwent Inktense) cut it out and glued it to the background. the tekst stamp is by Tim Holtz.

Another tag using the Tim Holtz paperdolls, the wings are from a decou page sheet, and the gears are a Tim Holtz Thinlets die. The bricks are made using a stencil and modeling paste, in the background there is some stenciling too. All paints and modeling paste used are Deco Art Products, see picture too see what I  used.

This is a page in my handmade envellope journal, see video here (the video explains all backgrounds too), the devil is a digital stamp by Rick St.dennis, it was colored using alcohol markeres (Twinmarkers) cut out and glued to the background using Deco Art  Matte  Medium. The word "fear"is a stamp by Stampendous/ Andy Skinner.

sorry for the long post, but I think I have everything I made before my vacation in here now :-)

Christmas Cat

For the new challenge at Sparkle and Glitter blog by Rick St.dennis, I made a simple Christmas card using the Christmas cat from the Lil bits of Christmas sheet

Easy to make Mothers day gift

Today I have a easy and quick DIY gift idea for you (also fun to make with kids, and easy to adjust to Christmas or Halloween or any other occassion)

Supplies used:
 Digi stamp 1929 Hat  by Rick St.dennis
Deco Art Decou page Napkin, Decou page Crystal Glitter.
Deco Art Glamour Dust Celebration Pink Glitter Paint
Pink candle
Small beads in pink and lavender
Glass Votive holder

Step 1: Colour the digital image and cut it out, adhere the image to the votive holder using Deco pauge napkin and let dry.

Step 2:  Add a layer of Decoupage Crystal glitter over the entire surface of the votive holder, I added 2 layers, make sure to let it dry before adding the second layer. This gives the votive holder a frosted look. The Glitter doesn't show very well in the picture but it looks very nice in real life.

Step 3: add Celebration Pink glitter paint on the edge of the votive holder and let dry.

Step 4: poor the beads in the votive holder and put the candle in, also see picture below

And that's it, now you only need to gift wrap it is a nice way and your little gifty is ready.

Here some more pictures

This idea can also be used for all kinds of others themes, use different colours and a Christmas or Halloween themed digi and voila, you have some nice decoration or gift.

Some exciting news too, the challenges will start again at Rick's Sparkle and Glitter blog, first challenge starts may 13, and we are kicking off with a blog hop so go check the link here and follow the blog so you won't miss anything (there are prizes to be won)
