Happy 1st of September!!! Eeeks, already September!! How fast that time goes….
Today I want to show you my first DT Work for BlueMoonScrapbooking! We all got this awesome 7Gypsies Receipt Holder and I loved to play with it! I have to admit, that in the beginning I wasn’t very happy to get one of these, because I thought I wouldn’t like it…. But while working with it I totally fell in love with this awesome wall decor
Check out the original Blog post right HERE!! If you want one, you can purchase it HERE. Have fun shopping
I also smuggled in some swissgirlDesigns Clear Stamps… (Set: Bambi and Lovely Owls)
Oh my gosh! I am amazed how many sales we got just during the first couple of days since my stamps are ready to be shipped!! WOW!! Thank you so much for your support!! We also got wholesale requests!! Can you imagine??? That is really the cherry on top!! heeheeee
Right now I am working on a catalog for the stamps I know, we just have four simple sets, but hey! It is fun and inspirational and I think the time worth Once I’m done I will show it to you. Here a little sneaky peaky
I found this layout I did a couple of weeks ago. I used a lot of my “Tabs” stamps on this one. They work great as Journal spots or as simple and unique embellishments (hint hint – If you are interested in those stamps you should really hurry up – there are just 2 remaining!!)
Hi Guys! Today I would like to share with you some Fan Material! You are welcome to download the sidebar blingies and activate them on your blog, so everybody is going to know, that you are THE BIGGEST FAN of swissgirlDesigns clear stamps
And again I would like to show you a layout I made a couple of days ago with the Road Trip stamps. I know, it is a crazy layout! I used some random gray cardstock that I was using for punch-outs and stuff and somehow I really liked it with the theme….. haha
First of all, I want to thank you ladies for all your comments! I was simply blown away!! I have enjoyed reading every each and one! Thank you
Since Adrian and I will be leaving tomorrow for a short Road Trip down to San Diego I would like to pronounce the winner before the weekend. So… Who is it?? Let me tell you this: CONGRATULATIONS TO LIBBY HEADLEY!!!!!
These stamps are precious and the fact that they are your designs are just so great. I enjoy your videos, layouts and the music is just great too. Good luck in your stamping aspirations. I am definitely a fan.

Since I will be gone until Monday I will leave you with a new Video. You have seen the layout already, but not the making off
PS: Did you see, I made my own background here Super easy and simple and soooo much fun!!!
A LOT is going on behind the scene of swissgirlDesigns right now! I am creating layout after layout for a big surprise! Also this surprise has to be created and so I am busy all the time
Yesterday I finished that one custom made album I was showing you just a few days ago. Now it’s done, how sad… But there are so many more projects waiting for me, so I can’t really complain about that
Once again, you will see my new stamps all over the layouts I just love them soooo much!!!
As a last page of an album I like to create a “Pocket-Layout” where I can put in ephemeras and journalilng. Here I created the pocket all myself. I think it looks pretty awesome
Hi there! I have been so uninspired for the last couple of days and when I wanted to make a layout it would just not flow. I hate that. It was horrible. But then, one sunny morning I was inspired again. I printed out a couple of pictures and sat down with them and tataaaaa, I made a new record! Four (4) Layouts in just one (1) single day!
So anyways, I wanted to show three of them to you. There are two things that are very special about them.
They are for a customer (thank you Meg for this awesome opportunity!)
You see the FIRST SNEEK PEAKS OF MY CLEAR STAMPS on the layouts!!!!!
I hope you like it…
a very simple yet elegant layout about the bride… Here you see the stamp “what a great Day” on the lower right corner of the pictures.
This layout is the cover for the whole album. Here you see the owls, the speech bubble and the stamp “the beginning of something New”
a close-up of the owls…. love them!!
On this layout I wanted to give the bride and groom an opportunity to write down some of their own thoughts about their wedding. Here you see the “Notes to last forever” stamp.
What do you think about the stamps?? Do you like them?? I hope so I am having so much fun to mix and match the four sets with each other! Hope you will so too
I have been bombarded with the one question: How did you do the “Summer” title??? Well to make it easy on me I would like to show you how I did that here in public
Take a piece of transparency.
Create your title on the transparency with alpha stickers.
Take a Versamark ink and go over the title and transparency. Remember, you want to create an embossed background and clear letters, means that you need to use lots of the ink!
Put embossing powder on top and heat emboss. Be very careful, the transparency might shrink!
Remove the stickers and you are good to go!
Easy, isn’t it?? Here again the Layout and the details of the title…

Before this post already ends I wanted to let you know that I have received the samples of my new stamp collections!!! I would looooove to show you the designs already, but I think it is better if I wait with that a little But be prepared for four (4) brand new collections that go together very very well!! yay!! More details are following
Today I went shopping! And not at Michaels, I went to JoAnn’s!! Yep, I am obsessed with PRETTY FABRICS!!! Here a sneak peak on what I got….. I hope to show you better sooner than later what for I got these cuties
A while ago I made these two layouts that I would like to show you know. The first one is a layout about our honeymoon back in May. We stayed in Lahaina on Maui the second week. It was lovely (that is how I’ve chosen this title… heee ) It is a pretty easy design but I am telling you, it just wouldn’t flow…. I have to appologize, somehow the gray doesn’t want to show right….
The second one is about a picture I took an even longer time ago in the car of the two of us. See, we already got the title Pretty easy, huh!? I used my Bambi Clear Stamps at it’s best. Great stuff, really! I also found this American flag that I made about 5 years ago (or even longer…). It just fitted perfectly into this design
Yesterday I created this layout about my favorite summer “food” (dessert…..?) heheee Homemade sherbet…… Yummy…
Recipe: Put frozen or fresh berries with some yogurt, sugar, orange juice and vanilla into a cup and blend it. Then put it into the freezer for about 4 hours. READY!!!
Tips and Tricks for colorful layouts: Sometimes bright colors overtake the important picture, especially if you have more than just one huge photo. To go against that without changing the patterned paper try to use some black or white acrylic paint underneath the picture(s). It will make your pictures pop and give the whole layout an artsy look!
