chaotic times

Hi guys,

Sooo I've got a lot to tell you all. The biggest news is that we are going to move. My love has found a job in Aberdeen, Scotland. If all goes well the next 6 weeks (he has to pass the retraining tests) I'll be following him there in 6 months!
Emigrating from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom.
It's a lot to take in, to organize and so on. But I'm quite exited.

My love has started his training the 8th of April, which was my Birthday so booohooo for me, I had too spend the day without him. Luckily a lot of friends and family stopped by. (I made some yummie blueberry muffins and at the end of the day they were all gone :))
Yesterday was the day that marked our 10 years together and I haven't even spoken to my love because he's so busy. I did get a wattsapp message, so I'm not really complaining but there are moments that its hard. Soo to chear myself up I've brought myself some washi-tape. I've read that they aren't hot/trending anymore but I still love, love, love them.



  Now I have to think about a place to store them, my old one is full (of washi-tape).

Last time I told you all about projects I saw on Youtube with alcohol and spray ink or acrylic paint.
I've tried a few pages with spay ink and its amazing. Really beautifull background pages with al kinds off shapes.
Here are my pages. I've used different "undergrounds", some pages have none, others have gesso or aquarell ground (schmincke)


First layer: Aquarell-ground. Second layer color wash, multipule times alcohol drops. Third layer:home made glittermist on alcohol basis.
sprayed the paper with water before using the color wash and alcohol.
backsite of the previous paper. I like this side better !

Thanks for reading!

Altered book lesson 10- Altered book les 10

Woh did these two weeks go fast!! I've created some fun pages, althought not all about the theme for this weeks lesson: Lesson 10: Magazine images and frames. Made possible by Elizabeth on her blog!!
I didn't have any idea what to do with the magazine images. I just didn't get inspired... boehoe. 
Yesterday my order with a lot of art supply finally arrived!! I was sooo happy :)
Deze afgelopen twee weken zijn echt voorbij gevlogen. Ik heb een paar mooie/leuke pagina's gemaakt hoewel ze niet allemaal over het thema van deze week gaan. Les 10 van Elizabeth's workshop gaat over Magazine plaatjes en randen. Ik heb niets met het thema magazine plaatjes gedaan want ik had gewoon geen inspiratie.... boehoe.
Gister kwam eindelijk mijn pakket binnen met inkten, verven etc dat ik had besteld. Plus nog een ander pakketje wat ik donderdag had besteld, Oh ik wordt daar toch zo blij van......

All good stuff!!!!
Allemaal leuke spulletjes!!

Two weeks ealier I recieved a pakket full of masking/washi tape, al nice collors!! so I used these for my first page about frames:
Twee weken terug ontving een pakketje vol masking/washi tape, allemaal mooie kleurtjes!! Deze heb ik dan ook voor mijn eerste pagina over randen gebruikt:
Masking/Washi tape and PaperArtsy stamps.

My second page is really really easy. While I was doubting about what to make My eye spoted the wallpaper with the nice flowers. I looked like a flower framed by another sooo that's the first and then I made al little face in the flower.
De tweede pagina was eigenlijk wel zo super simpel! Terwijl ik aan het dubben was over wat ik nog meer zou maken, viel mijn ook op een rol behang met geweldige bloemen erop. De ene bloem leek wel omrand door een andere bloem, een gezichtje in het midden en voila, klaar.



Last but not least I made a dubble set which didn't follow the theme. I found the quote in the Dutch magazine FLOW.
Laatste voor vandaag is deze dubbele pagina die geen thema volgt. De quite heb ik in de FLOW gezien.

CraftersWorkshop Template, Liquitex acrylic paint, some stamps, home made letterstamps.

I hope you all had a great weekend and have a nice week!
Ik hoop dat jullie allemaal een leuk weekend hebben gehad en en fijne week hebben!

Love Susan
