P2D: Season of Joy

I’ve decided to extend my blog to a wider range of readers by adding a German version to my posts.    Ich habe beschlossen, meinen Blog einer erweiterten Leserschaft zu öffnen, indem ich meinen Artikeln eine deutsche Version hinzufüge.   It’s a bit early for Christmas, I admit it, but for various reasons I’m getting quite into the Christmas mood these days.   Es ist ein bisschen verfrüht für Weihnachten, ich geb’s ja zu, aber aus verschiedenen Gründen bin ich in den letzten Tagen so richtig ins Weihnachtsfieber gekommen …   Reason #1: I’ve been working on my annual Christmas cards already (almost done), because last year they arrived like 2 months after Christmas even though I’d sent them way early. My conclusion, the earlier I get to mail those cards, the better.   Grund #1: Ich habe angefangen, an meinen jährlichen Weihnachtskarten zu arbeiten (fast fertig), weil meine Karten von letztem Jahr etwa 2 Monate nach Weihnachten ankamen, obwohl ich sie sehr früh verschickt habe. Die Schlussfolgerung: Je früher ich die Karten verschickt kriege, …

Freebie Friday: Autumn Word Art – Silhouette Project

Die-cutters, take heed! It’s Friday, and I have a something little special to share with you today. If you’re a proud owner of a Silhouette machine, this one’s for you! It’s a little piece of word art that would make a nice decoration for your home … What you’ll get in this freebie is a Silhouette Studio file. The words will be a little larger than you see in the Silhouette Studio preview, to fit my large frame, but you can easily resize it to meet your needs. I just used colored card stock to cut out the individual words, but you could also just print and cut. (If you print and cut, my recommendation is to offset each letter (spread the letters and words out a little more, creating more than one page) and fill that extra little bleeding space with the same color as the word. It’ll prevent to have white edges where the machine may not cut exactly at the edge of the printed character. After cutting, I adhered everything on an …

Hybrid Hub: Autumn Word Art

For weeks now I’ve been sharing some of my diy-cards for my hybrid posts. But hybrid and diy isn’t just only cards. It can be other fun stuff as well. Like this framed autumn word art project that I created a couple of weeks ago, and that now makes a nice piece of decoration in my living room.   With my Silhouette I just cut a couple of words, which I arranged on a large piece of craft paper to put in a frame. I added a little leaf for which I had left a blank spot. Done! But it really makes a nice piece of decoration. And if you come back tomorrow, you can download the silhouette studio file with which I made these words …

Journaling Café: Events

Events … they are so much part of our lives that we always talk about them. But have you ever taken the time to think about the topic of “events”? Well, if not, today’s your chance to do so. Take a look at our prompts today:   And here’s a page about a current event in my life:   On a side note: I pretty much finished my next freebie kit these last few days. (Promised I’d work on it this weekend, and didn’t want to let you down; it’s all complete, except for one little decorative element that I’d like to add, but I’m still waiting for a photo from my mom, so let’s hope the weather in Germany will be good enough soon so she can take a decent picture of it for me to extract – my mom has all those cutsie little decorations that I wish we could get here but simply can’t, lol). At any rate, the new kit is all Christmassy (= perfect for December Daily projects), jam-packed with …
