St. Patrick’s Day

18 March 2012 | Marsha.

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. So I drank tea from my new St. Patrick’s Day myStamp BOX Holiday Monkey mug and we ate a few freshly baked cookies (but not these green ones, because these were the ones ‘I made earlier’).

Head on over to the myStampBOX blog to see more gold and green inspired projects!

Around here | Hi! How are you?⠀ ⠀ Here's a little sneak peek of something fun coming up on the @gelliarts blog later this week!⠀ ⠀ I'm in a bit of a weird place. I feel like I didn't pay enough attention and all of a sudden summer has slipped through my fingers.⠀ ⠀ Which isn't right, because I think I've made more of this sunny season than I do most years!⠀ ⠀ But the last two weeks have been rough. We've had to say goodbye to a beloved aunt. Her death didn't come as a surprise, and she has lived a long and full life, but we will miss her loads.⠀ ⠀ On top of all the sadness, I was stressed and worried out of my mind because I've stupidly broken my laptop.⠀ ⠀ So if you've read this far, here's a quick reminder: Keep liquids as far from your computer as possible + Back up, back up, back up!⠀ ⠀ I'm not that worried about my files and photos though. Losing a person in the same week certainly puts things into perspective.⠀ ⠀ But I do realise how lucky I am to have that laptop and all of the software I work with on a daily basis. It's so much harder to do the work without it. So fingers crossed that it can be brought back to working order. ⠀ ⠀ Until then I think I will stay on my summer schedule a bit longer. Because I'm so not ready for autumn. Besides my old laptop is slooooooooowwwww.⠀ ⠀ #GelliArts #GelliPlate #Printmaking #Printmaker #Monoprinting #AddictedToGelli #gelliprinted #gelliprinting #gelliprints #gelliprint #gelprintingplate #littlestoriesofmylife

The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #12: Stencil the front and back cover. Put your journal in a bowl of coffee/tea for 5 min.⠀ ⠀ Uhm... Yeah...⠀ ⠀ I didn't just give my journal a foot bath; I dunked the entire thing. Everything got soaked. ⠀ ⠀ But first I stencilled the cover using Liquitex Gloss Medium and Varnish and @stencilgirl_products stencils by @mbshaw, @natkalbach, @gwenlafleurstudios and @dottystripes.⠀ ⠀ I was hoping the tea would stain the cover, but I can't say that it did much of anything. ⠀ ⠀ The hardest part about the experiment was to get the journal to dry afterwards.⠀ ⠀ I used a hair dryer and later a heat tool to get the worst of the moisture out.⠀ ⠀ Two of the pages got damaged because they stuck together. There was colour transfer and bleeding on others, but nothing serious. And I had to readhere some of the collage elements.⠀ ⠀ If nothing else, this was a great exercise in how to rescue a journal!!!⠀ ⠀ The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ From June through September she's sharing one 'Wreck this Journal'-esque prompt a week (16 in total). ⠀ ⠀ It's not too late to join us! So if this sounds like something you'd enjoy then, by all means, grab a notebook and... stencilfy it!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ------⠀ ⠀ Please note that though I am a @stencilgirl_products columnist, and most of the materials used for this prompt were given to me, this is not a sponsored post! I'm participating in this collab because I think @adogslife rocks and the challenge is a lot of fun!!! ⠀ ⠀ #thestencilfiedjournal #stencilgirl #stencilgirlproducts #mixedmedia #artjournaling #stencils #natkalbach #marybethshaw #daniellawoolf #gwenlafleur #artjournaleveryday #jumpstartyourcreativity #artastherapy #liquitex #glossmedium

The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #11: Bring your outside page back in. Put it in your journal. Stencil it.⠀ ⠀ Swipe to see the page that was outside for more than eight weeks! It's still in remarkable condition!⠀ ⠀ I guess that says something about acrylic paint, doesn't it? And I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing.⠀ ⠀ Anyway, I didn't want to mess with the tag too much, so I stencilled on top of the existing design with an embossing pad and embossing powder by @wowembossing. ⠀ ⠀ The @stencilgirl_products stencil I used for this is one of my favourites by @natkalbach: Art Deco Wallpaper.⠀ ⠀ The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ From June through September she's sharing one 'Wreck this Journal'-esque prompt a week (16 in total).⠀ ⠀ It's not too late to join us!

Ten years | Sooooo... the question of the day is: where were you ten years ago today?⠀ ⠀ I know exactly where I was!⠀ ⠀ The spot where the photo was taken doesn't look anything like this today. I walk and bike past it often. It's in the shadow of a big building now, neatly paved, and there usually is no sign of graffiti.⠀ ⠀ So, so much can happen and change in 10 years! But he's still here. And I am still here. Together. That's all that matters. ❤️
