Moo-mania: "Stars"

This time the theme in Moo-mania is Stars. I choose Marilyn Monroe. She was a star in the 50's. The picture is in black and white, so I made the moo in black and white colours. The background paper is,applicable, with stars. I hope you like my moo. Thanks!

Moo Mania...Dolls

This time the theme from Moo Mania is Dolls. The body including the shorts is the size of a moo. The head and arms are stamps. I didn't have a leg-stamp, so I tried that myself...that is not a simple thing to do for me. haha, I don't think she walks easily on her boots, she will waddle a little bit!

Atc: You can leave your hat on...

Halloween atc. This woman, she really is a woman... does have some spells if she takes her hat off. Are you scared allready?

The stamp of the woman is from StempelBar. Happy Halloween!

Moo Mania

The theme of this week at Moo Mania is Halloween. Well, then I can't resist it...

Did you see the bloody eyes of the bats? They told me it's human blood... Happy Halloween!

Halloween Twinchies

Here are some Halloween twinchies. Twinchies are 2 x 2 inch, or 5 x 5 cm. A great size to scrap or stamp. Have a happy Halloween! *********************** The first one is stamped. The stamp is from We R Memory Keepers

This one is made with just some pictures.

This one has a stamp from Inkadinkado and the black skulls are a punch from Martha Stewart.

The pumpkin is also a punch from Martha Stewart and a stamp from We R Memory Keepers.

Last but not least: The skull is a stamp and the blood along the top is also a punch from Martha Stewart.

Thanks for looking, I love reading your comment!

Atc's from Claudine... spooktacular!

Another year went by...it's almost Halloween and I traded atc's with Claudine from America. We do this every year, it's a tradition!

A look in the mirror...

Spooktacular!!

Thank you Claudine for trading these Halloween atc's!

Thank you Gabi!

Gabi lives in Germany, I live in the Netherlands. We have fun together by e-mail and this week, we traded inchies, Halloweeninchies! But when I opened her enveloppe, there was more than just inchies. Wow, come and take a look... ...I opened this special shaped card, on the backside there was a note...

...and there was an atc in the enveloppe...

...and also this label...

...and finally these are the scary inchies I got from Gabi! They are great, aren't they?

Halloween inchies..... Boo!

    These are inchies...

     Nine times little things to make you scared!                                         

Halloween is coming...

   Boo! Halloween is coming to town..

       haha, I like Halloween!

      I made a serie of this creepy atc, 

     for swaps and personal trading.

Stempel Mekka in Hagen, Germany.

                                         Were can you find stamps, stamps and stamps?



                                          This weekend I went to the Stamp - Mekka in 
                                          Hagen, in Germany. We had to drive 2 hours, 
                                          but   finally  there was the road sign...Hagen!

                                          Hagen is a town in between the mountains of
                                          the Ruhr area.

                                          Very important....my ticket!

                                       

                                          I met several members of the German FWA
                                          Group and we traded atc's.  Aren't they beautiful?

                                          And I bought some stamps and a Halloween punch.
                                          I had a great day!

Bingo!!!

I'm  busy making atc's!

This is one of the atc's I made today.

Do you like it?

Mini atc

It's so much fun to make cards in all different sizes.

This time I made a mini atc; 1,5 x 2,5 ".

Do you like it?

Can't waite...

Can't waite till Halloween...I love Halloween

and I love this girl with her spider.

I have to make a lot of Halloween atc's this year. For swaps here in

the Netherlands, in Germany, and in the USA.

And of course, I'll get a lot of enveloppes back from the other participants...Yippieeeeee!!!

...and...if you want to trade stamped halloween atc's with me...let me know!

The Atc book!

Yes! Today there was an enveloppe from Germany. And...

within the atc book!

It's a swap from the FwA group. We had to make 12 atc's, send them to Uta and

she made this beautiful atc book. She send the 12 books back to all the participants with

12 different atc's. 

Come and drool!

 The atc's are made by:

Wibsche, Froebelsterchen, Kerstin

Streifenhörchen, Orsolina, Lillibelle

Lüneburg, Suzanne, Katja

mine, cbee, Kily

Mail from Germany!

These are the inchies I received from an inchies swap
in Germany.
Kirsten send them to me.
Theme: insects

and there was an atc and

a beautiful selve-made card.
Thank you Kirsten for all these beauties!

Happy!

I am happy! The atc's on the picture below are finally arrived in
Germany. That's great! So Uta will make an atc book for 12 different
participates and I am one of them...
And of course, when the atc book is here in the Netherlands, I'll show you
all. So we have to be a little patience...and that's not easy to do... :-))

Sad and hopeful...

I'm a little bit sad...

I send 12 atc's to Germany, and they never arrived.

It was meant for an atc book (scroll downwards),

so now I had to make new ones.

Sad, because the old ones are lost, 

hopeful  that these atc's will arrive...

Twinchies!

These are the twinchies I've made

for the Dutch Inchies Group.

                       All the pictures and backgrounds are stamped.                                                                 

My favorite colour is red.

                    And when it's red with white spots...so cute!

Twinchies are 2"x 2"

or about 5 x 5 cm.

Thanks for stopping by!

12 atc's for an atc book

For a swap in Germany I made 12 atc's, they all had to be almost the same.

Eleven other participants did the same.

I send them to a very creative person in Germany, she makes from all the atc's an atc book, 

for all of us. So she will send the book back, with 12 different atc's.

I'm looking forward to receive the atc book!

My little treasure...

 I went to the flea market and I found a lovely tea set. 

The lid of the teapot was broken, but I loved this set.

It had to cost 15 euro....but that was too much...

But I could not forget the teapot (why not make it a flower vase?) and

the lovely cup and saucers.

So, I walked again along the stall, took another look at the teaset. 

The woman who had to sell it said:

Well, you can buy it for 10 euro..... 

hmmm....think, think....do I dare to haggle? I said:

Is 7,50 euro allright? And she said: Okay!

 So I almost dropped a cup, before I paid...but luckely that went well....

When I came home, I looked at the bottom of the cup and I saw:

   C (brand) T

Tielsch - Altwasser

40

And curious as I was, I've looked at the internet and there it was:

The teaset was made in germany, by the firm Tielsch in Altwasser.

And the 40 at the bottom?

That meant that it was made in 1940....

Wow...

I found myself al little treasure...

Just for 7,50 euro! 

And now it's standing on the table, on a tray and...

with a broken lid...

What's in the box....

Yes! My order from America has arrived! 

These punches were not available here in the Netherlads, so

I ordered it in America. There are great, aren't they?

Look at the result....I'm almost in Halloween-mood....

I have a "trading-friend" in America!

De eerste keer dat ik met Claudine uit Amerika atc's ruilde was in Januari 2010. Dat ging via Atc-world.
Sindsdien ruilen we ongeveer 4 keer per jaar atc's met elkaar. En het is zo leuk om met haar te ruilen!
Kijk maar even mee.

The first time I traded atc's with Claudine from America was in January 2010. It was at the site from Atc World. And eversince we trade atc's with each other about 4 times a year.
And it's so much fun to trade with her!
Come take a look at the last atc's I traded with her.

We both love Stampotique-stamps!

The backside of her atc's are almost just as beautiful as the front.

(I can't show it because of her address)

It's great to have a "trading-friend"in America!

Atc: My birdie...

De stempel is van Studio Art Stamps. De ronde stempels komen van Dylusions.

De atc is gemaakt met distress inkt (wild honey en barn door).
Het jurkje is ingekleurd met ecoline. Ik werk er graag mee.

De gele stippen op de achtergrond zijn gemaakt met een stevig papiertje en daaruit heb

ik rondjes geponst. Je kan hiervoor natuurlijk iedere pons gebruiken die je maar wilt.

Je legt het papiertje op de atc en dan inkleuren met een sponsje en 

distress inkt (wild honey).

Leuk resultaat!

I used stamps from Studio Art Stamps and Dylusions.

Colored with Distress ink (wild honey and barn door).
