Jeannie´s theme for her tip-in book is cats, and I didn´t want too much cutesy for my pages. I´m not really satisfied with the result, but at least my first attempt to put two pages together in Photoshop was successful. The pages are 6 x 6 inches each, hope that the image resolution is o. k.
Phrenology has been a 19th century thing, but even today some people think that parts of your character are located in distinct spots of your brain. This theory has led to some very dangerous conclusions, but also to modern neurology. And phrenology is this week´s theme for the SPA challenge.
Helga challenges us to work in a very small format and make five inchies - I´ve had fun with them, but I feel it´s time to use a larger canvas now :-)
Money - it´s a crime. Share it fairly but don´t take a slice of my pie.
Do you remember last year´s One World One Heart event? I´ve really loved to be a participant because of all those interesting blogs and friendly people that I´ve found by taking part.
Time is such an interesting thing - the older you get the faster it seems to fly. But I´ve always loved to get older, and that feeling hasn´t really changed yet. Yes, of course, there are wrinkles and loneliness, and my bones hurt as well as my soul, but on the other hand there´s experience and inner rest, so maybe time is my friend and a faithful companion of my life?
Have you ever been to Vinci in Tuscany? It´s a lovely village in the hills, and when you´re on top of these hills at the house where Leonardo was born, and enjoy the view over that fabulous landscape, you´ll ask yourself in which way the beauty of that place has formed the genius that was born there. I don´t know. And of course you´ll never forget that "daVinci" (= from Vinci) is not the last name of this artist but just his birth place. Last names hadn´t been "invented" then.
The theme for Diana´s Altered Book is "Lifetime Stories" - what a great one!
About fifteen years ago, it took me one whole year to read Marcel Proust´s "A la recherce du temps perdu", but it was well worth the time - so if you haven´t read it, what about making plans for 2010 now?
My ATC for this week´s TMTA challenge"Newspaper" - my newspaper boy was stamped on an Asian newspaper. Stamps by Tin Can Mail and MaVinci.
Have you seen that the Paper Whimsy forum moved to start as a Ning group? Somehow this inspired me to play with my PW stuff today, and this 8,3 x 5,8 card is the result.
The background for this 6 x 6 card is golden, but my scanner made it look brown ...
I´m a bit late with my tip-in pages this month because of all the things I had to do before Christmas. But here´s my spread for Janne´s tip-in book themed "Dachshunds".
Have you noticed that Seth Apter´s "The Pulse" survey is up on his blog again? Today you´ll find this piece of mine as my entry for his Secret Sunday, but there have been many more questions concerning people´s favourites, so keep in touch with his site if you´re interested.
From time to time I love to play with stamps of only one company. So I decided to join a swap at the Stampers Anonymous Yahoo group called "Artist Choice" - you just have to make 6 ATCs with Stampers Anonyomous stamps of your choice. As it´s one of my favourite companies, I could have made many more ATCs ...
