Yesterday was so filled with play (mostly top secret play involving paper, glue and glitters), that I forgot about the #leftovergrams. They will follow shortly!

Hello and welcome!

My name is Marsha Valk. I live in the Netherlands. I love (paper)crafting, making videos, photography, art, reading & writing, city trips and vintage finds.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

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. ❤️

The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #10: Using stencils document your day.⠀ ⠀⠀ I procrastinated on this page. I couldn't figure out how to do it! But I need to finish prompts 10 + 11 before I can do next week's prompt (I already know what it is... 😱), so I had to do 'something'!⠀ ⠀ I decided that 'something' would involve blocks of colour. There was only one @stencilgirl_products stencil in my collection that fitted the bill: 'Shape Shifter' by Mary Beth Shaw (@mbshaw).⠀ ⠀⠀ I used @decoart Americana paint to stencil the shapes. The pink I used is a gorgeous neon pastel pink that my camera refuses to pick up!⠀ ⠀ Next, I took a black pen and doodled elements of my day onto the page, using the stencilled shapes as a rough guide. ⠀ ⠀ I finished the spread by colouring and shading some of the doodled images with (watercolour) pencils.⠀ ⠀ Any guesses on what happened on the day I documented? It certainly was eventful!⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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 the stencil I used in this post was given to me to use for my column, 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 #memorykeeping #travelersnotebook #midori #stencils #artjournaleveryday #jumpstartyourcreativity #artastherapy #decoart #decoartmedia #americanaacrylics #acrylicpaint #traveljournal #planneraddict

Ground | Took a 'real' camera with me on an evening walk. ⠀ ⠀ There isn't a lot of grass in the neighbourhood. And now the grass that is there looks even sadder than usual. ⠀ ⠀ The weather forecasters are predicting another heat wave, so not sure if soon there will be any ground cover left. ⠀ I did find something green on the street instead. Not quite the same though!⠀ ⠀ #augustbreak2018 #ground #thesimpleeveryday #littlestoriesofmylife #simplethings #nothingisordinary #ajoyfulsummer #momentsofmine #eveningwalk #eveningwalks #fromwhereistand #watchyourstep #pavement #sidewalk #ihavethisthingwithfloors #followmyfeet #viewfromthetop #lookdown⠀

Morning light | I believe these are called 'Morning Glory' in English. ⠀ You only see them in the morning, and by noon they're all rolled up and gone. ⠀ ⠀ These flowers are a good reason for having a cup of tea or coffee in the yard first thing in the morning. ⠀ Because if I don't head out to see them, I miss out on all their colourful beauty!⠀ ⠀ -------------⠀⠀ @susannahconway is hosting #augustbreak for the 10th time this year! TEN years! How amazing is that! ⠀ I can't find evidence of whether I knew about August Break 10 years ago, but I've been following Susannah for a long, long time and I wouldn't rule out the possibility.⠀ ⠀ August Break is the perfect 'challenge' for this summer month. There's no pressure. Anything goes. It's such a fantastic initiative to help you stop and notice the small things. ⠀ ⠀ So if you feel like you could use a photo, journaling, daily check-in, whatever-you-want prompt this month, then I highly recommend August Break. Take it as an invitation to go offline (on life)!⠀ ⠀⠀ #augustbreak2018 #morninglight #morningglory #ipomoea #growyourownflowers #thesimpleeveryday #botanicalpickmeup #acornerofmyhome #littlestoriesofmylife #simplethings #nothingisordinary #uiteigentuin #groenevingers #wildforflowers #seeingthepretty #ajoyfulsummer #momentsofmine #floral_perfection
