Last week I was busy “putting up the tents” for the creative summer camp. 🙂
The doors will open in about three weeks and everything has to be in tip-top
order by then!
HUH??? Tents???
No, ofcourse not!
You all know
by now that
the Creative
Summer Camp
is an online event!!!
But this is a
nice way to start
my Friday blogpost,
isn’t it?!
The ‘online camping site’ is large enough to accommodate large groups,
so if you want to make this a creative Summer: click the link and join the fun!
..
Are you confused by now?
With ‘building op the Summer Camp’ I mean that I am busy producing
the challenge-documents and placing them into the community.
I also am not done with creating examples (where necessary) etc.
So I AM very creative these days, but nothing I can show you…
besides this little thingie…
ATC: Busy
2.5 x 3.5 inch
I have a little box in one of the drawers of my ‘creative closet’ – and I throw
all kinds of little things and left overs there… The background was a piece of
paper on which I wiped of my paint brush last week. (When I create, I like to
use the ‘left overs’ for ATC’s or backgrounds. That way, you don’t spill a thing!)
So I had that background, and I looked in my little ‘left overs’ box to see
what more was in there… Haaa… see that small piece of twill tape (fabric)???
Maybe you recognize it from this page!
I also found small pieces of transparent, plastic ribbon (with the black flowers)
The silver, elastic band with beads was wrapped around a present, but I
honestly do not know who gave it to me. (Mom? Lena?)
I hand stitched the twill tape and elastic band onto the ATC, and that’s it.
All in all it took me maybe 10 minutes to make… (which I spend the most
by looking in my closet drawer to see what I could use!)
When I visited Phinner’s blog last week, she had a link to a video in her post
and she said that she laughed sooo hard when she saw this video…
I became curious (ofcourse!) and clicked the link…. OHMY!
This was not ‘giggle worthy’ – I really was laughing hard!!!!
(Imagine me, all by myself at the computer – laughing out loud!
Not just ‘LOL’ – which we type easily – no… LAUGHING OUT LOUD.
Like: HAAAHAHAHA
So at night, sitting on the couch to watch ‘Criminal Minds’ with my son,
I thought about it again and I told him that I laughed so hard.
I didn’t tell him what it was about (that would spoil the fun) but I said
I would show him the video as soon as the commercial breaks would be on.
After a while (watching TV) he suddenly said:
“Mom, was it about XXXXXXXX ?”
…???… How could he know???!!!!
It turned out that this YouTube video is so popular, that it was showed
in a Dutch talk show (“DWDD”) last week! Aaarghhhh… surprise ruined!
We watched it again anyway. And yes, we both laughed!
So now YOU are curious, aren’t you?
Maybe you saw it, maybe not, but here’s the link.
I wish you all a nice weekend!!!
(Oh, and for those who noticed the new ‘life workshop’ logo in the side menu
– more info really is coming soon! Look for the newsletter or keep an eye on
the website and my blog!)
I missed that on Phin’s blog!!! Toooooooooooo funny!! LOVING the ATC too… and how cool would it be for you to have a camping workshop??? I would soooooooooo be there! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
“The maple kind, ya ?”…Soooo Funny !
Wow, it sounds like you are off to a great start to have a magnificent summer, my Busy Friend!
You know I am intrigued by the Life workshop by the sea!!!!!
I hope your weekend is sweet and full of bacon ! 😉
Hugs !
Yes my queen, it had to be you who told me about the using of extra paint for an atc background!! i love this new one, very vibrant!! Can’t wait for your newsletter!
xxD
Ik kende m nog niet! Heb ‘m zelfs 2x bekeken en moest de 2e keer nóg harder lachen! Enne…ik ben wel in voor een échte reallife camping workshop, hoor! 😉 Met een beetje hollands weer en wat waterverf, geen heatgun maar een waslijn en een lading sharpies komen we een heel eind! 😉 Groetjes, Sandra
Super ATC! and what a great mix of “found objects”! You are one busy artist and teacher – good luck with summer camp!
I have my sleeping bag ready to go. (Picture me sleeping in front of my computer.)…Seriously, I will have to see. I will be in the middle of moving at that time.
Dat filmpje… té grappig!! Heb je ook die van die poes gezien die “ik zie ik zie wat jij niet ziet” speelt??? Ook zooooo leuk!!!
Je ATC-tje is erg leuk ook al had je het binnen 10 minuten af!! Ik hou erg van die kleuren! Het elastiekje met de kraaltjes zegt mij niks… komt vast van je moeder!
Leuk trouwens dat je al zoveel inschrijvingen voor het zomerkamp hebt!!
Fijn weekend!!
Ik kende ‘m ook nog niet maar wat een ge-wel-dig filmpje!!!!!! Super!
Kamperen is absoluut niet mijn ding maar op jouw camping ga ik me helemaal thuis voelen, dat weet ik nu al! Verheug me er op!!

Wow ATC…I use to love to make those..& then I would use them as a focal point on a card. Got me thinking there 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
too too funny!!!! can’t wait for camp! and love that you find ways to use your little leftover pieces – just the inspiration i need (i save but…don’t remember to use).
Superrrr filmpje!! Hilarisch 🙂
Even schrok ik toen ik de tenten zag… phew…. gelukkig niet echt kamperen (brrr, niks voor mij) 🙂
Hw gave it to the CAT…………..!!! Oh how cruel! Lmao! I shared this one Facebook Marit – too funny to keep to myself!
I am looking forward to getting my sleeping-bag out and cooking stuff over the campfire now!
Love the ATC – gorgeous colours!
Now I am thinking about a possible trip to Holland in November… You are such a tease!! xo
I love using messy background stuff for my ATC’s and journal pages too, great minds think alike! Have a great weekend Marit!
hello marit, good luck with your summer journalling like the ATC and thanks for your kind comments on my happy page
I was thinking “How fun it would be to have a real creative camp with Marit!”
With real tents and real journals and real paint!
And then, I saw that ‘workshop by the sea’ logo… Is that real? Next november? Really? Is it in Scheveningen? My mother lives there! Woooooowooooowoooo! More info pleeeeeeeeease!
