Traveler’s Notebook Layout: Wonderful Times

Published by Sula H.

Anzeige (Enthält Produktempfehlung) / Advertisement (Contains product recommendation) EnglishHere comes my next traveler’s notebook spread. For this one, I ventured out a little. I wanted to use a design that spreads from the top of the page to the bottom. But the problem: TN sizes are 8 1/4 inches tall, but my paper pack “Winter Forest” is only 6×6 inches. So, I got a little creative. I have this washi tape that I used to create that border on the left side of the layout. Then I went ahead and added the papers, photos and die cuts. The little set of hat and mittens are stamps that I fussy cut and left uncolored. Lastly, I added the word strips, and the title, which I stamped and then fussy cut. You can watch a process video of how I put this page together here: DeutschHier kommt meine nächste Seite. Für diese habe ich mal was Neues probiert. Ich wollte mal ein Design verwenden, das über die ganze Seite geht. Das Problem: TN Seiten sind 21 cm …

Freebies Revisited (4)

Published by Sula H.

In case you wonder, as of this date all previous freebies should still be available, and you should be able to find them by clicking on “Freebies” in the menu above, or on the Tag “Freebie” in the tag cloud on the right side of the web page. Or search for them specifically, by typing the name of each collection in the search bar down the right sidebar. Due to my long absence from mistyhilltops.com, I didn’t keep much track of what was happening here, and I received several comments that a few individual links weren’t working. I looked into those cases (2 to my knowledge), and whatever bugs there were should be fixed at this point. But if you run into more trouble, just let me know in the comments, and I’ll see what I can do. I’m already busily preparing new freebies that I’ll start sharing shortly. But for now: Here’s a little sneak peek of …

Traveler’s Notebook Layout: Beautiful Winter

Published by Sula H.

Anzeige (Enthält Produktempfehlung) / Advertisement (Contains product recommendation) EnglishI have a new layout to share with you, and this I started by stamping the background. Then I arranged the papers, Fotos, and other embellishments, and added the title. For the title I used card stock on which I’d previously watercolored. And I stamped the words. Here’s a video of how I created this page: DeutschIch habe ein neues Layout, das ich mit euch teilen möchte. Ich habe damit angefangen, dass ich den Hintergrund gestempelt habe. Dann habe ich die Papiere, Fotos und Elemente angeordnet und den Titel zugefügt. Für den Titel habe ich Tonkarton verwendet, auf dem zuvor Wasserfarbe aufgetragen habe. Dann habe ich die Worte gestempelt. Hier ist ein Video, das zeigt, wie ich diese Seite geschaffen habe: This page is part of an album called “Winter 2022.” You can watch a flip through of this album here: Diese Seite ist Teil des Albums “Winter 2022.” Du kannst dir das gesamte Album hier ansehen: If you want to see how I created some of …

Traveler’s Notebook Layout: Fun

Published by Sula H.

Anzeige (Enthält Produktempfehlung) / Advertisement (Contains product recommendation) EnglishToday I want to share the layout “Fun” with you. I’m still working with the paper pack “Winter Forest,” and I really wanted to create a design that spans the entire page, top to bottom. Because the paper is only 6×6 inches, but the page is 8 1/4 inches tall, it’s usually not possible. I dealt with this problem by creating a photo mat for the two photos, and the strip of patterned paper behind it is cut in two pieces and arranged at the top and the bottom. With my die cuts I added a bit of foliage behind the photo. The snowman I stamped on white card stock and then fussy cut it out. But the background is stamped directly on the page. The word strips were quickly added. For the title, I watercolored some white card stock, then cut the letters with one of my die cut alphas and tucked it next to the snowman. SketchA sketch/template of this page will soon come as …

Traveler’s Notebook Layout: Wonder

Published by Sula H.

Anzeige (Enthält Produktempfehlung) / Advertisement (Contains product recommendation) EnglishToday’s page was an easy one. I began by cutting six squares of different sizes, and two rectangles, and roughed up the edges. I used my die cuts to cut out a label, a tag, the snowflakes, and the fern. For the title I used one of my stamp alphas and fussy cut it. And then all just needed to be arranged on the page. Here is a video that shows you the process of how I made this page: DeutschDie heutige Seite war recht einfach in der Herstellung. Ich habe sechs Quadrate von unterschiedlicher Größe ausgeschnitten und die Ränder aufgeraut. Mit Stanzen habe ich das Etikett, den Anhänger, die Schneeflocken und das Farnblatt ausgestanzt. Für den Titel habe ich eines meiner Stempelalphabete verwendet, und das Wort dann per Hand ausgeschnitten. Und dann musste alles nur auf der Seite angeordnet werden. Hier ist ein Video das dir zeigt, wie ich die Seite zusammengestellt habe: This page is part of an album called “Winter 2022.” You can watch …

Life Is Better at … the River | Leben ist einfach besser … am Fluss

Published by Sula H.

EnglishWe went out e-biking, and the road took us to the riverside park nearby campus where we plopped ourselves in the grass and enjoyed the view. And enjoyed watching all the swimmers ignore the signs everywhere that say: No swimming! DeutschWir sind mit den Rollern losgezogen und es hat uns zu dem Park am Fluss gezogen, wo wir uns im Gras niederließen. Und es gab viel zu sehen. Nicht nur einen tollen Ausblick. Auch all die Schwimmer, die geflissentlich alle Warnschilder, die besagen, dass schwimmen verboten ist, ignorieren, bieten interessante Abbwechslung.
