DADA

101 years ago, the Dada movement was founded in Zurich. I´ve collected some Dada stamps over the years, and I´ve been so delighted when Heindesign came out with some wonderful new Dada stamps recently. You even get tickets for the Stempelmekka in September when you send them a collage using their new Dada letters cube, so this card will be on its way to Hagen tomorrow!
(other stamps I´ve used here are from MaVinci, Rajastamps, and A Capella, Stampers Anonymous and Hampton Art Stamps)

Hands

I´ve picked "Hands" as this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge that I´m guest hosting, and I´ve made two sample cards, one stamped and collaged, and one digital card.
The card above was made with rubber stamps from Silvercrow, Joggles, Dina Wakley, Stamp Out Cute, and RajaStamps.
My digital card features elements from Miles Beyond the Moon, Holliewood Studios, Pink Lotty, and Tumble Fish Studio, all at Mischief Circus. The song lyrics are from Ben Harper, and here´s the whole song:

i can change the world
with my own two hands
make a better place
with my own two hands
make a kinder place
with my own two hands
with my own
with my own two hands

i can make peace on earth
with my own two hands
i can clean up the earth
with my own two hands
i can reach out to you
with my own two hands
with my own
with my own two hands

i'm gonna make it a brighter place
i'm gonna make it a safer place
i'm gonna help the human race
with my own
with my own two hands

i can hold you
with my own two hands
i can comfort you
with my own two hands
but you got to use
use your own two hands
use your own
use your own two hands

with our own
with our own two hands
with my own
with my own two hands

Oh No!

Here´s a collaged scene made with the new Crowabout StudioB kit "Little Things", a lovely image collection that will inspire you to make your own digi or cut and paste collages.

See!

Nancy from Crowabout StudioB at Mischief Circus came out with a really wonderful new kit today called "See", and I´ve combined it with two quotes I´ve always loved ... Have a look at the kit and make your own art with it - may it be digital or cut and paste (as this kit comes with printable collage sheets).

Thinking Cap

I´ll put on my thinking cap - how many times did I write this in emails and posts when I wanted to participate in a challenge or swap ... This week "Thinking Cap" is the theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, and I knew immediately that I have just the right stamp for it - the stamps I´ve used here are from VivaLasVegaStamps, Katzelkraft, Stampendous, Scrollswork, and Inkadinkado.

Bugs

Bugs is this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, and here´s my digital postcard made with elements from Holliewood Studios, Jen Maddocks, Lorie Davison, ViVa Artistry, Tangie Baxter, Art by January, and The Urban Fairy.

Fly

I really love Nancy Baumiller´s new Crowabout StudioB image kit "Fly"! And of course I just had to build a little neighbourhood of birds with it (though there are lots of other great images in the kit, LOL!) ...
And as always, you get printable collage sheets with the kit for all your cut and paste projects.

New Day

If you have a look at these two samples that I´ve made for Nancy Baumiller´s new Crowabout StudioB kit called "New Day", you´ll see that I´ve loved to play with this kit ...both pieces came up quite naturally because the images in the kit inspired me immediately - and I´m sure that the same will happen to you.

Inside My Own Head

Have you already visited the Mischief Circus forum this week? As I´ve told you before, we´re celebrating MC´s 7th Birthday there right now with lots of games and challenges.
My collage above was made for a challenge called "Open Your Mind", and it really tells a lot about me if you take a closer look ...
(I´ve used elements from Marta van Eck, Miles Beyond the Moon and Holliewood Studios here.)

P. S.: I´ve just found out that this layout has been picked as a GSO - what a surprise!

Pomp

We´ve been eagerly awaiting Beth´s new Songbirdy kit at Mischief Circus, and here it is: Pomp!
My first collage above is called "Always Exaggerating", and the one above is called "Psssst!".
It has been a lot of fun playing with these images, and I´m sure you´ll like this kit, too!

So Loved

Nancy from Crowabout StudioB came out with her new kit "So Loved" today, and that´s exactly what it is! I´ve used some of my favourite images from it for these two cut and paste journal pages in my Moleskine journal.

Time to Celebrate!

Come and celebrate with us at Mischief Circus this week!
And here are my samples for this month´s Monthly Mischief kit from Marsha´s Tumble Fish Studio, themed Oh Happy Day:

Marsha also came up with two "Best of" kits that I´ve used here:

made with Best of Old Tumble Fish No. 1

made with Best of Old Tumble Fish No. 2

Tea O´Clock

"Tea Time" is this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, and the main stamps for my card are from Viva Las Vegas and Crafty Individuals.

Hipster Gallery

I´ve been playing with Tim Holtz´ Hipsters lately, using backgrounds dyed with Easter egg dyes leftovers and Brushos, and several text stamps. My album with ATCs for trade really needed to be filled up after the stamping convention in Nijkerk.

The Deep Sea

This 4 x 6 postcard was made using the new Ranger Distress Oxide stamp pads and new rubber stamps from Tim Holtz.

Dear One

During my short Easter vacation, I´ve had fun making these two samples for Nancy Baumiller´s fabulous new Crowabout StudioB kit "Dear One" - hope you´ll like them!

Maps

This set of three hand stamped and collaged ATCs was made for a Maps themed swap in a German Yahoo group.

Soul Play

Nancy Baumiller came out with a new Crowabout StudioB kit named "Soul Play" at MischiefCircus.com, and as you can see, I just couldn´t stop playing with it ...

Retro Housewife

What a fun challenge theme it is for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge - Retro Housewife! All images that I´ve used for my sample card here are from Tumble Fish Studio at MischiefCircus.com.

Love The Self

These two collages have been made with Nancy Baumiller´s new Crowabout StudioB kit "Love The Self", and I´ve surprised myself with the fact that I´ve used such a bright and cheerful kit to make two serious and pensive collages - but that only shows the versatility of Nancy´s very inspiring kit!
