Journaling Café: Thanksgiving

Published by Sula H.

Mein Tagebuch: Thanksgiving   A new week – a new start. And this week is especially exciting. Why? It’s Thanksgiving! Of course, as I’m not from the U.S. I could actually care less about that, BUT: since my colleagues are mainly Americans, we all get an extra holiday. And that I do care about! And as this is about giving thanks, I’d like to say a heartfelt “Thank-you” to my colleagues for being the reason that I get to have an extra holiday! Yay! But before I get lost in all that thankfulness, there’s something else I had on my mind doing here today. Yes, right! The weekly journaling prompts. And you guessed it! It’s more on Thanksgiving. Please bear with me all non-Americans among my readers. It’s going to be over, soon, and at any rate, we can all do with a little more thankfulness, no matter the cause! So, take a look at this week’s prompts. Eine neue Woche, ein neuer Anfang. Und diese Woche hat es ganz besonders in sich. Warum? Weil’s …

Journaling Café: Thankful

Published by Sula H.

Mein Tagebuch: Dafür bin ich dankbar Thanksgiving is just around the corner. So, of course, November without taking a moment to think about the things we are thankful for wouldn’t be November. Here are the journaling prompts for this week: Thanksgiving steht kurz bevor. Und ein November während dem man sich nicht mal die Zeit nimmt, um über die Dinge nachzudenken, für die man dankbar ist, wäre kein November. Hier sind die Schreibvorschläge für diese Woche:               And here’s some inspiration: Und hier ist etwas Inspiration:  

Freebie Friday: Holly & Pine – Part 2

Published by Sula H.

Freebie Freitag: Holly & Pine – Teil 2  Hey friends, sorry for being so late. But this was a weekend of ups and downs. First of all, I did feel pretty discouraged after what I’d found last week (someone’s sharing my designs elsewhere – read about it HERE). Then I was quite busy trying to get going on my Christmas cards this year (I mean, I’ve been working on the cutting files for quite a while now, but I decided it’s finally time to start printing, cutting and assembling – as well as all the sewing, drawing and creasing that comes with it). And then we had a pretty challenging weekend overall, as the electricity has been on and off in our building all weekend (which means blackouts for extended hours), and with that there was little chance to do anything on the internet. But now I really want to get going on the second part of this collection. So here are the first part of the papers. Hope you like it, and PLEASE DO …

A Very Sad Day (Or: Please Play Fair!)

Published by Sula H.

Ein trauriger Tag (Oder: Bitte seid fair!)   Today is the very sad day that I always knew I’d be facing one day. But when it does happen it still feels pretty bad. Today is the day when I discovered that my designs have been posted on a Russian file sharing website (Yandex) for others to download 🙁 . I always knew that – in spite of the fact that I beg people in every single freebie post to play fair and not redistribute and share images from my designs – there are still those who don’t care about all the hard work that has gone into creating these scrapbook designs; those who’ll try to take advantage no matter what. It is a very frustrating and disappointing feeling (especially because I’m generous enough to freely share my designs; and all that people have to do is to simply send their friends and blog readers here to mistyhilltops.com if they want others to enjoy these freebies, too). I never understand how this can be so hard, …

Enable Me: Free Digital Stamp Set

Published by Sula H.

Inspiration am Mittwoch: Kostenloses Digitales Stempelset   Hey peeps! It’s Wednesday and time to share something useful that I found on the www. These days I’ve been working on this year’s Christmas card project (did I ever tell you that last year’s cards got lost in the mail? 🙁 ). But I’m going to try again this year, and so I’ve been searching the web for lots of inspiration. One of the things I discovered a couple of days ago is a bunch of Christmas card tutorials on youtube by this one lady (I’ll make sure to link you up with the inspiration next Wednesday). She uses lots of stamping on her cards which totally got me inspired, too. Except that I don’t have any Christmas stamps to work with. (Last year my sister gave me a bunch of Stampin’ Up stamp sets she doesn’t need anymore. But honestly, I’ve rarely used them these 1 1/2 years. It maybe that these stamp sets just really aren’t what I need for my projects and that if …

Journaling Café: November Word Associations

Published by Sula H.

Mein Tagebuch: November Wortassoziationen   November is here and for this week I have a couple of word associations ready for you. Take a look at the options, then write about what comes to your mind. You can either choose one of the pairs to contrast and write about your preferences; or you can simply pick one of the words and simply write what comes to your mind. Der November ist da und für diese Woche habe ich ein paar Wortverknüpfungen für euch vorbereitet. Seht euch mal die Vorgaben an und schreibt dann was euch so in den Sinn kommt. Ihr könnt entweder eines der Wortpaare nehmen, sie miteinander vergleichen und über eure Vorlieben reden; oder ihr könnt euch einfach eines der Wörter nehmen und lustig drauflos schreiben.                 November Wortverbindungen 1. Kerzenlicht oder Kaminfeuer 2. Familie oder Freunde 3. Pullover oder Jacke 4. Kürbiskuchen oder Karameläpfel 5. draußen oder Sessel And here’s a layout inspired by one of these associations: Und hier ist ein Layout, bei dem …

Freebie Friday: Holly & Pine – Part 1

Published by Sula H.

Freebie Freitag: Holly & Pine – Teil 1   Ok. This week I’m really excited because it’s time to start sharing a new freebie collection with you. And I spent pretty much every spare minute of this week to work on it (I don’t think I ever spent more time on any of my previous kits). But: I love how it turned out, love some of the patterns I managed to create for the papers, and I love how big this collection is. Yet another record: I’ve never added more items to any of my other collections. But then I thought: It’s a Christmas collection! Not only is Christmas my favorite time of year, but it’s also the time of gift giving and generosity. So, because it’s Christmas (or soon will be) you’ll get a bigger and better freebie collection than ever before. (And because I had so much fun working on it and so many ideas of what I wanted to include that it was hard for me to stop!) But before I keep …
