Glue Book Revisited

Hello my dear friends,
for today's Simply Neutrals Tuesday over at AppleApricot I choose a few of my Glue book pages which I did a few years ago. Yes, time flies.

                                                         I had much fun creating these.

Inspired by the glue book pages I started to alter the journal below.

I really like the way it came out and can't wait to work on the pages.

Thanks to the Simply Neutrals Tuesday my creativity is back again.

Thank you, dear Wen.

Have a wonderful week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hugs and love,

Hearts

Hello my dear friends,
it is simply Neutrals Tuesday again and I would like to share  a heart I just finished. Unfortunately I didn't get it done in time for Valentine's day.

I really like the way it turned out and it is not as dark as it seems.

It is already on its way to someone special.

Linking up with Wen's Simply Neutrals Tuesday Party over at Apple Apricots blog.

Please do hop over to see all the other Neutrals Beauties.

Wishing you all a lovely week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and fr leaving sweet comments.

Hugs and love,

Vintage Finds

Hello my dear friends,
for today's Simply Neutrals Tuesday Party I would like to show you some  of my vintage finds I collected over the years. The old jam jar came with the original lid and I love to use it as a vase.

I was lucky enough to find several of the old shoe forms including a baby one.

I absolutely love the vintage hat box and - believe it or not -  for 50 cent  it was a real steal.

Also you would not be able to identify it, but the small collage is a gift bag created for a special friend. Unfortunately I can't show you what is inside as she hasn't received it yet.

Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day filled with love and joy and as always, thank you so much for stopping by and all your lovely comments. 

Please hop on over to Apple Apricot to see all of the beautiful Neutrals. Thank you, dear Wen.

Hugs and love,

Friendship

Hello my dear friends,
the card I created for this weeks Simply Neutrals Tuesday is about friendship. Thinking about friendship, the following quote came to mind "a friend is someone who reaches  for your hand and touches your heart" . Isn't that true?

You might recognize  the book spread from an older post with one of my favorite PW images as it fits the neutral theme.

I was so thrilled when I found out I was featured on dear Wen's Blog AppleApricot

Please hop on over to see all the beautiful neutrals.

Have a lovely rest of the week and as always thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs and love,

NEW AND OLD

Hello my dear friends,

for this weeks "Simple Neutrals Tuesday Party"  I selected the fabric book ( above ) I'm currently working on.

It is almost done and has two pockets inside to hold little treasures.

Since my altered book page fits the theme, I wanted to post it again and not link up to it.

I hope it is ok.

Just for the fun of it I created this photo collage with my favorite neutrals.

Please hop over to Apple Apricot  to see all the other Simpy Neutrals or why not join the fun?

Thank you, dear Wen.

Have a wonderful rest of the week and as always thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hugs and love,

We Welcome 2018

Hello my dear friends,
2017 was not a good year for my hubby and me, so we welcome 2018 very much.
I hope you all had a good start into the new year and it will bring all you wished for.
I also would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your support and all the lovely comments you left. Due to all the events happened in 2017 it was quiet challenging to me to start creating again.

You all know how much I love soldering, so that is how I got started and  had much fun.

The heart created is more 3D like.

Although I still have a number of  scheduled doctors' appointments,  I promise to do my best to blog more often as last year. Have a lovely weekend and as always thank you so much for stopping by.

PS.: Simpy Neutrals Tuesday's are back and I will link up to it.

Please hop over to Apple Apricot to see all the Neutrals. Thank you, dear Wen:)

Hugs and love,

Vintage Suitcases

Hello my dear friends,
due to a bursitis in my left elbow I had to take an unexpected break from posting and commenting.
The draining tube came out a few days ago and my elbow is almost like new.

For today's simply neutrals party @ Apple&Apricot I choose vintage suitcases as my theme.

Well, the brown one finally turned into white:)

I really like the way it came out.

I might embellish it further at a later point and I can assure you it will pop up again at a later time in the future.

Thank you, dear Wendy for hosting this wonderful event.

I'm so far behind it will take me a while to catch up with you.

Wishing you a wonderful week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

Hugs and love,

Simply Neutrals Tuesday

Hello my dear friends,

today I would like to share this little fabric collage with you. It is still in the lay out stage as I can't decide to use it as a book cover or turn it into a card. Help please:)

                 Here is a closer look at the butterfly. Cut out from a copper sheet and soldered.

                                                           Flowers from my garden. From me to you.

 Hello my dear friends,
for today's Simply Neutrals Tuesday @ Apple& Apricot  I would like to share some vintage keys with you. There is just something about old keys and I can't resist - they just have to come home with me:)

Below you can see a shadow box I created for a dear friend. I will only show the back of the pendant  because my friend hasn't received it yet. Just a little teaser.

 The necklace below was also created for a dear friend.

Have a wonderful week and as always thank you o much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Thank you, dear Wendy for hosting this wonderful party.

Simply Neutrals Tuesday #20

Hello my dear friends,
for today's Simply Neutrals Tuesday #20 over @ Apple & Apricot I would like to share some treasures I found at the local indoor flea market.  An old mop opera glass from Paris. Swoon:)

Such a lucky find.

Besides the opera glass I found these sweet children shoes.

Maybe for a four year old? Old books and some doilies were among my treasures as well.

At the moment I'm creating all kinds of rosary style links for necklaces and below I share just the neutral ones.

I also would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your heartfelt comments on my last post. They were very much appreciated.
Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week and as always thank you so much for stopping by.


                                                                     Hugs and love,

Simply Neutrals Tuesday

Hello my dear friends,

the last week I was down with a real nasty cold but now I'm back creating again.

The image used in the chandelier crystal is actually a rubber stamp from the Stampsmith -  Ophelia.

One of my favorite stamps and I love the way it turned out. 

The charm above was quite a challenge  for me as this is the first time I soldered a crown to a charm.
