Freebie Friday: Spring Word Strips

Published by Sula H.

Freitags Freebie: Frühlings-Wörter Anzeige (Enthält Produktempfehlung) / Advertisement (Contains product endorsement) EnglishIt’s spring in my part of the world, and if you are following me on Youtube, you’ll know that I started putting together a little spring themed traveler’s notebook mini album. So, of course, I’m in need of spring-theme words. And I wouldn’t be me, if I wasn’t going to share them with you here. This time you get not one sheet of word strips but four! One sheet is all black on white. The other is white on black. The next one is all colorful and perfectly coordinates with the new freebie collection “Come Alive”); and the last one is a mix of black and white. If you want to see these word strips in action, you can check out my Youtube playlist “Spring 2023 Traveler’s Notebook Mini Album.” DeutschDer Frühling ist in meinem Teil der Welt angekommen. Und wenn ihr mir auf Youtube folgt, wisst ihr, dass ich ein Frühlings-Mini-Album im Travelre’s Notebook Stil angefangen habe. Dafür brauche ich natürlich jede Menge …

Card Making 101: Happy Easter

Published by Sula H.

Kartenwerkstatt: Frohe Ostern Anzeige (Enthält Produktempfehlung) / Advertisement (Contains product endorsement) English This week I have another Easter card for you. Although you could use the template for any kind of theme. Deutsch Diese Woche habe ich eine neue Osterkarte für euch. Aber ihr könnt die Vorlage auch für jedes andere Thema verwenden. Tip: If you don’t own a cutting machine, or don’t want to cut with a machine, you can easily turn the template into a print template. In Silhouette Studio (or your equivalent software), just set the outline to a value thicker than 0. (In Silhouette Studio an outline with a value of 0 doesn’t print.) 0.25 thickness works just fine. To save color ink, change the line color to black. Then remove the fill color, rearrange everything on your page so nothing overlaps. Print, on simple copy paper, cut out each piece, and voila! You have yourself a useable bits and pieces that you can then place on your patterned papers to cut. Tip: Wenn du keine Schneidemaschine besitzt, oder nicht mit …

Egg Hunt | Eiersuche

Published by Sula H.

EnglishI got myself into a proper Easter egg hunt this year. First, the eggs needed to be died, then hidden, and finally hunted. I’m pretty sure we didn’t find all the hidden eggs. DeutschDieses Jahr gabs eine richtige Eiersuche. Zuerst mussten die Eier natürlich gefärbt werden. Dann versteckt. Und am Ende gesucht. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, wir haben nicht alle versteckten Eier wiedergefunden.

What Covid Has to Do with Easter | Was Covid mit Ostern zu tun hat

Published by Sula H.

Germany is enjoying the Easter holidays. Of course, with lockdown, everyone is at home. Well, with the weather being nice, we spent a little time outside the home. More specifically, we spent time in the garden, doing a grown-up Easter egg hunt. And then there’s also Mr. Nielssen, our Easter bunny. And you might wonder, what does Covid has to do with Easter? Well, the connection is easy, when even Mr. Bunny is required to follow the rules and wear a mask. Deutschland erfreut sich an den Osterfeiertagen. Natürlich ist in Tagen des Lockdowns jeder zuhause. Also, d. h. bei dem schönen Wetter sind wir lieber draußen als drinnen. Ganz genau gesagt, waren wir mal wieder im Garten unterwegs – auf Eiersuche für die großen Leute. Und dann ist da auch noch Mr. Nielssen, der Osterhase. Und du fragst dich vielleicht auch noch, was Covid mit Ostern zu tun hat. Ziemlich viel, wenn man bedenkt, dass sogar Herr Hase sich an die Lockdown Regeln halten muss.                   …

Easter Preparations

Published by Sula H.

Ostervorbereitungen   It’s definitely not the first time for me to celebrate Easter abroad. But it’s the first time in a number of years that I actually get to celebrate in a way that my home looks a bit like Easter. That is something special for me because in past years the most I had was the few experiments with Easter dye which turned out more disastrous than anything else. But this winter back home I was able to load my luggage with Easter decorations and now my home is all set up and nice. And I’m happy! Es ist bestimmt nicht mein erstes Ostern im Ausland. Aber es ist das erste Mal seit einigen Jahren, dass ich das Fest so feiern kann, dass auch mein Zuhause ein bisschen Österlich aussieht. Das ist für mich was ganz Besonderes, da das höchste an Osterlichkeit ein paar Experimente mit Eierfarben waren, die aber mehr katastrophal als alles andere ausgefallen sind. Aber als ich im Winter zuhause war, habe ich meinen Koffer mit Osterdekorationen angefüllt und jetzt sieht …

April Fool’s Day

Published by Sula H.

It’s Easter still, where I come from, but that doesn’t mean it’s a holiday where I live now. As a matter of fact, these days it’s business as usual (as I told you last week), since people here know nothing of Easter, really. But they do know about April Fool’s Day. Lucky for me, I didn’t get tricked, and being busy trying to keep today a holiday for myself as well, I didn’t really get a chance to trick anyone else, either. But then I figured: there are worse things in life than missing out on April Fool’s Day!   And I did get myself a little Easter greeting from my family, too. Look:

Journaling Café: Celebrate Easter

Published by Sula H.

We just celebrated Easter, and in fact, in some places of the world (like my home country), today is still a full fledged Easter holiday. This makes it the perfect time to spend some thoughts on Easter, your Easter traditions, and what this holiday means to you. So, here are today’s journaling prompts:   And of course, as always, I got started with a little page of my own:

A Little Easter Walk

Published by Sula H.

With a friend of mine, we’d decided to go for a little hunt of spring blossoms. The problem was: it’s been so cold recently that only very few trees are in bloom yet. That, however, didn’t hinder us in our determination, and so we got a couple of pictures still.   And on that note I’m wishing everyone happy Easter!
