This guy is afraid of flying. The 4 x 6 card is my entry for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge themed "Wings and Crowns".

Journey & Junction

These are my pages for Abby´s tip-in book themed "Journey & Junction - The Romance of Train Travel". Each page is 7 x 5 inches. I´m very early with my pages because I´ve been really looking forward to this wonderful theme!

Orange

This week´s houses for the "Dans ma maison il y a ..." challenge are to be orange - here´s mine.

Circles

The Raven

These are my own pages for my Ravens and Crows tip-in book (but maybe I´ll make another spread because I love that theme). I´ve tried to make them colourful but ghostly, and I don´t think that this must be a contradiction.

My entry for this week´s TMTA challenge "tick tock ... fascinating watches".

... and the back cover ...

for my own tip-in book themed "Ravens and Crows".

Ravens and Crows tip-in book

Bohemian/Gypsy

These are my 6 x 6 pages for Susan´s tip-in book themed "Bohemian/Gypsy". (Please click on the image to see a larger version.) She wants us to use rich colours, especially deep reds and blues, purple, and gold. Hope she´ll like these!

This card is about 4,13 x 5,9 inches.

Wheels are this week´s theme for the Make a Moo or Two challenge.

La vie en rose

This week´s theme for the "Dans ma maison il y a ..." challenge is "une chanson". You all know the great Edith Piaf song of course that this lady sings under her lace roof.
BTW, have you noticed the new challenge blog "Creative Wednesday"? This house also qualifies for this week´s challenge "Row Houses".
Thanks to Lorraine for the wonderful background paper!

Thanks for your entries!

Do you remember my RR journal themed "The Deep Sea of Poetry"? I´ve started it in October 2007 and got it back last week. This is how it looks like now - it´s lovely. Many thanks to Stefanie, Abby, Letha, Cynthia, Connie, Beckie, Fred, Nadine, and Jenene for your beautiful poem entries!

Buttons

Two very different ATCs for a Buttons themed swap.

Zetti Pages

This is my spread for my own tip-in book themed "A Number of Zettis". Can´t wait to see what the other 11 participants will do for it.

Birds, Nests, Eggs

This is my spread for Pam´s tip-in book themed Birds, nests, and eggs. The words are by Picasso. Pam wants us to use natural colours, so I hope these pages aren´t too colourful.

Turquoise

Turquoise is this week´s theme for the TMTA challenge.

I love to combine this colour with black and white.

Summer Tea Party

It took me a while to put this 5,9 x 8,3 inches collage together, but hey - it´s Wednesday again, so it´s perfect to add it to the Wednesday Stamper´s challenge now. This has been a difficult one!

Secret

Have you already noticed the wonderful "Mind Wide Open" challenges? This time you have to use a beautiful picture of a woman behind a keyhole and the word "secret" as a prompt for your piece. The frame for this piece is 8,3 x 8,3 inches. I have painted and rusted the frame and image and added some rusted metal embellishments. The rusted key at the bottom was attached by a torn piece of fabric. The whole piece is hanging from a piece of wire going through the golden heart below the word "secret". The poem written on the frame is medieval German from the 12th century:
Du bist min, ich bin din / des solt du gewis sin. / du bist beslozzen / in minem herzen: / verlorn ist das sluzzelin: / du muost och immer darinne sin.
(You are mine, I am yours for sure. You are in my heart, and the key is lost. You always have to be in there.)
