Cheerful Monday #45 - Winter Adventure

Thank you to all of you for your patience with my posts. Here is the very belated Cheerful Monday post for Vicki's current challenge: Snowy Day.

The adorable image is again from Vintage Image Craft and it just felt like fitting perfectly with the one I used previously. So I created another little pendant in the same style as the previous one. The image is layered on some hessian and adorned with lace, punched-out snowflakes and some blings. The little stamped sentiment is from Elzybells.

I hope you can play with us for this challenge, just pop over to Vicki's blog. You will also find some amazing inspiration from the DT for the challenge. Petra.

A Sprinkle of Snow

Yesterday I mentioned that there was not even snow at my parent's place,  so unusual at this time of the year.  This morning I woke up to a chilly wind and a light sprinkle of snow (lol)

Hope yyou have a lovely weekend. Petra.

Cheerful Monday #44 - Snowy Day

no snow yyet not even at my parents  in Germany where we went yesterday to celebrate my dad's birthday.  It is really nice to see all the family and exchange all news.  With no snow insight it is really nice to have Vicky's challenge to play with: Snowy Day.  I chose a really adorable image from our sponsor Vintage Image Craft for my little pendant.  It is layered on some hessian and some patterned paper (sorry I cannot remember the manufacturer). As embellishments I used lace, snowflake and some blings.

Hope you can play with us.  Just pop over to Vicky's blog: The Cheerful Stamp Pad. Have a lovely Sunday Petra.

Photo Session #11 - Anglesey/Wales

Peter went for more running training to Anglesey in Wales/UK in his quest for the Transvulcania Ultramarathon coming May. He did run 15.5 miles in very wet and windy conditions, some roads had turned into lakes, paths were rivers ...... While he was running, I went for a bit of a walk and I thought you might want to have a glimpse of what it looked and felt like ....

for Peter (red cap) and all the other runners ... a couple of runners only wore vests!

the trail went along the Anglesey coast passing some impressive landsights like the South Stack Lighthouse

  

the Ellis Tower

 but in the end a little bit of sun came out and there was a rainbow, a double-one ... a sign of hope and encouragement

 Thank you, Peter, for taking me. I had never been to Anglesey and it was quite a trip.

Have a lovely week, Petra.

Finnabair inspired Canvas

Last year December I was so lucky to have the chance to attend a Finnabair workshop together with Lucy. The workshop had been organised by Artist Trading Post, and it was just amazing. The atmosphere was truly electric with Finnabair being energetic and full of ideas and inspiration. All workshop participants were so tense in their concentration but yet, it was so much fun and I learned SO MUCH. We created a canvas with one of Finnabair's chipboard horses as centre-piece layered on lots and lots of mica powders, paints, lace, fabric, embellishments

 This was the canvas at the end of the session. I was very happy with the layout and the design but I felt it looked a bit flat ....

 

.... Treasure Gold and some more small embellishments like little fabric flowers, buttons and half-pearls did the trick

 

This is the centre-piece of the canvas and I like the horse a lot!

Hope you have a great week, Petra. x
