Just a simple card

Zomaar een simpel kaartje voor een beginnersworkshop. Ingekleurd met de Marvy stempelstiften en daarna natgespoten. Bloem stempel is van Penny Black tekststempel is van Stamp It.

Just a simple card for a beginners workshop. I used the Marvy markers directly on the stamp and then spritzed it with water before stamping. Sentiment stamps is a Stamp It stamp and Flowerstamp is one of Penny Black

And the winners are......

At the last ARTSpecially Event we had a challenge for the Art Journey Mailinglist Members. Every mailinglistmember that wanted to participate had to make something that stated that they were an Art Journey mailinglistmember. This had to be big enough for the mysterieguests to notice and to take a picture of.
The Art Journey Team has been given the difficult task to judge all the pictures and here are the three winning members. If you want to see closeups and all the other pictures, please go to my site and enjoy!

The first prize is for the lovely house tag above made by Christa Perdok. The jurymembers were very impressed with the good use of the Art Journey stamps and loved the colours and the whole presentation. Christa congratulations with your coupon worth 100 euro's.The second prize: a coupon worth 50 euro's is for Mariette van Leeuwen and Bianca van Noort in the beautiful T-shirts. The jurymembers loved the use of the ART stamp. A stamp that was a present on an ealier ARTSpecially Event. Also they noticed the good interpretation of the Art Journey logo and the stamping on fabric was a plus also. Ladies congratulations! You will have to split your prize though. And the third prize is for Herma Fichte. Although she didn't use any Art Journey stamps, the members of the jury thought that she did a wonderfull job on the bag so they rewarded her with the third place. Herma will recieve a coupon of 25 euro's to spend at Art Journey.

Thanks to everybody who participated and thanks for all your work. Somebody had to win, but I appreciate each and every one of you!

Nagenieten van de ARTSpecially Beurs

Hier een kleine impressie van onze stand op de ARTSpecially beurs in Zeist.

Here's a small photoshoot of our booth at the stampconvention in Zeist. Hier kun je zien dat het lekker druk was op de zaterdag.

On saturday it was very busy.
De meiden van de Art Journey Team hadden champagne en bloemen meegenomen om mijn boekje Louise's Journey te dopen. Zijn het geen schatten?

The girls showed up with champagne and flowers to celebrate the "birth" of my first book! Aren't they sweet?
Jos en ik samen op de foto! Jos my husband and myself.

I am really proud even though I put on a silly face!

Onze nieuwe stand! Our new booth!

Inkadinkado Frame stempels





Deze nieuwe Inkadinkado stempels zijn momenteel mijn favoriet! De stempel bestaat uit 2 gedeelten: de rand en het middelste rondje die afzonderlijk van elkaar zijn te gebruiken. De middelste rondjes van elke stempel is dus ook uitwisselbaar. Je kunt de afzonderlijke stempels op mijn site bekijken en binnenkort komen er nog meer in het assortiment. Ook de achtergrondstempel de bloesemtak is van Inkadinkado.

These new Inkadinkado stamps are my favorite lately. The stamp has two parts, the rim and the middle piece. On my site you can see all the other frame stamps. The background stamp is also an Inkadinkado stamp.
