…you wake up realizing the fantastic weekend you had is over.
It’s Monday and you feel a bit awkward, due to the time change.
Last weekend, you moved the clock one hour forward, and while in your head
it’s still early the alarmclock tells you the morning has long begun…
You stumble out of bed. Your eyes aren’t fully open yet…
You went to bed way too late – that stupid hour change.
You put on the coffee and look at a strange newspaper (???)
Ah, suddenly you remember… the newspaper changed
from broadsheet to tabloid.
After you had your coffee, you begin to live a bit…
enough to get ready for the day (which, by the way,
started hours before you opened your eyes.)
You put on the computer to see if there’s any news
and then….
then you see that your layout titled “One Day”
WON THE LATEST SCRAPPING THE MUSIC CHALLENGE!!!!!!
……
My eyes are open wide now.
I’m in the hall of fame!!!!
Yeeeehaaaa!!!
I’m fully awake now!!!!
Enough to “think and write” in English so let me tell you about my weekend…
We had a marvelous time with my parents!
On Friday, we went into town and this is what I got me…
This is a little
sponge bag I
bought at the
fair trade store
(“Wereldwinkel”)
It is made
from recycled
plastic bags and
I found it ideal
to store my pens
and markers…
Ain’t it cute?
And YAYYYYY!
I am now the
proud owner
of thirteen
(yes, 13!)
copic markers!
(I now see
there’s only
12 copic marker
on this photo.
There must be
one left behind
in the bag…)
My parents left on Saturday morning and I spend the rest of the weekend
playing with my stuff. First, I did a lot of “testing” with the markers. I now
know they work well on cardstock, but they tend to liquefy (“run”?) on thin paper.
I also made an art journal page.
I wanted to play along with a challenge at the Gutter Girlz weeks ago and
finally I came to it… just before the deadline!
THE PROMPT: Road Trip
THE SONG: The Climb by Miley Cyrus
THE PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE: A Map
Used materials: Maps torn out of an old campers guide (thanks mum!), inked tissue paper, gel medium. A photo transfer of stairs in Edinburgh (remember Lena?) A stamped, coloured and cut out image of a running lady. Alpha stamps.
Although the lady
on the stamp is
running, I thought
she looked like
climbing those
stairs when I
put the image
here…
And yes, I’m
hooked on
photo transfers
lately! Look at
how the map
shimmers through
those stairs!
The good thing about changing the clock to Summer time is that I have
light to work after diner!!! I had an extra hour to make this little fella!
I used the stamps Amy send me and stamped & embossed one of my
favourite stamps. It’s a rather simple ATC, but I find it kinda nice…
Here’s a
detail.
Although
I don’t use
embossing
very often,
I love the
effect it
gives.
Especially
this “writing”
on top of
those old
stamps!
Aaaahhhh, it’s one-thirty-in-the-afternoon already… time flies.
I never had trouble with the time changing, but this year I keep on
running behind… feeling like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.
Looking at my watch and saying “Oh Dear, Oh dear!”
Hope your week will have enough hours to do whatever you want
(or have) to do! Spend it wisely!
Je t’embrasse!
