…you wake up realizing the fantastic weekend you had is over.
\nIt’s Monday and you feel a bit awkward, due to the time change.
\nLast weekend, you moved the clock one hour forward, and while in your head
\nit’s still early the alarmclock tells you the morning has long begun…<\/p>\n

You stumble out of bed. Your eyes aren’t fully open yet…
\nYou went to bed way too late – that stupid hour change.
\nYou put on the coffee and look at a strange newspaper (???)
\nAh, suddenly you remember… the newspaper changed
\nfrom broadsheet to tabloid.<\/p>\n

After you had your coffee, you begin to live a bit…
\nenough to get ready for the day (which, by the way,
\nstarted hours before you opened your eyes.)
\nYou put on the computer to see if there’s any news
\nand then….<\/p>\n

then you see that your layout titled “One Day”<\/p>\n

WON THE LATEST SCRAPPING THE MUSIC CHALLENGE!!!!!!<\/a><\/p>\n

……<\/p>\n

My eyes are open wide now.
\nI’m in the hall of fame!!!!
\nYeeeehaaaa!!!
\nI’m fully awake now!!!!
\nEnough to “think and write” in English so let me tell you about my weekend…<\/p>\n


\nWe had a marvelous time with my parents!
\nOn Friday, we went into town and this is what I got me…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is a little
\nsponge bag I
\nbought at the
\nfair trade store
\n(“Wereldwinkel”)
\nIt is made
\nfrom recycled
\nplastic bags and
\nI found it ideal
\nto store my pens
\nand markers…
\nAin’t it cute?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd YAYYYYY!
\nI am now the
\nproud owner
\nof thirteen
\n(yes, 13!)
\ncopic markers!<\/p>\n

(I now see
\nthere’s only
\n12 copic marker
\non this photo.
\nThere must be
\none left behind
\nin the bag…)<\/p>\n

My parents left on Saturday morning and I spend the rest of the weekend
\nplaying with my stuff. First, I did a lot of “testing” with the markers. I now
\nknow they work well on cardstock, but they tend to liquefy (“run”?) on thin paper.<\/p>\n

I also made an art journal page.
\nI wanted to play along with a challenge at the Gutter Girlz<\/a> weeks ago and
\nfinally I came to it… just before the deadline!<\/p>\n

THE PROMPT: Road Trip
\nTHE SONG: The Climb by Miley Cyrus
\nTHE PRODUCT\/TECHNIQUE: A Map<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Used materials:\r\nMaps torn out of an old campers guide (thanks mum!), inked tissue paper,\r\ngel medium. A photo transfer of stairs in Edinburgh (remember Lena?)\r\nA stamped, coloured and cut out image of a running lady. Alpha stamps.<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Although the lady
\non the stamp is
\nrunning, I thought
\nshe looked like
\nclimbing those
\nstairs when I
\nput the image
\nhere…
\nAnd yes, I’m
\nhooked on
\nphoto transfers
\nlately! Look at
\nhow the map
\nshimmers through
\nthose stairs!<\/p>\n
The good thing about changing the clock to Summer time is that I have
\nlight to work after diner!!! I had an extra hour to make this little fella!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
I used the stamps Amy send me and stamped & embossed one of my
\nfavourite stamps. It’s a rather simple ATC, but I find it kinda nice…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\nHere’s a
\ndetail.
\nAlthough
\nI don’t use
\nembossing
\nvery often,
\nI love the
\neffect it
\ngives.
\nEspecially
\nthis “writing”
\non top of
\nthose old
\nstamps!<\/p>\n
Aaaahhhh, it’s one-thirty-in-the-afternoon already… time flies.
\nI never had trouble with the time changing, but this year I keep on
\nrunning behind… feeling like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.
\nLooking at my watch and saying “Oh Dear, Oh dear!”<\/p>\n
Hope your week will have enough hours to do whatever you want
\n(or have) to do! Spend it wisely!<\/p>\n
Je t’embrasse!<\/p>\n
