     are typical of the vintage style.


Love those old vintage photo's and colours. the background I used I normaly never use but because I wanted to do a men'ss theme I used this men's custome.

Vintage Couple with ABstudio........

    Vintage is this month really the theme on my blog especially for ABstudio. Which I really don't mind because my interest at the moment really lies with the old from the past, The photo in my design is not vintage vintage but is from the '50s - '60s I guess.

    For this design I used several items, namely the paper collection "Love for the old things" die-cuts ephemera "Rustical time", Mixed Media thick cardboard ID-301 "Filmstrips"

    I punched the 2 flowers into shape using a die-cut metal frame from a piece of design paper and applied each layer in a raised manner.

    I think the photo is so great, the colours match the design paper. Very nice to see. The pleasure of being together, doing things really radiates from the photo. In one word "Happy together"


The Mix Media tick cardboard: 

I edit them with layer of acrylic paint. 1with the colour phtalo green and 1 with the colour turquoise blue both from the brand Amsterdam. The second layer is Metallique Wax "Bronze Age" from Finnabair.

 The flower lace:
    is originally white in color but I also treated it with Metallique Wax "Bronze Age" from Finnabair.


     The photo above clearly shows the editing of different mediums.

For this design I used the next following ABstudio
    materials / products :

 Mix media tick cardboard filmstrips 

Love for the old things, scrapbooking paper set 

Designsheet no 4 "Abacus" 

Designsheet no 3 "Classic Feeling"

Die-cuts ephemera ID-61 "Rustical Time" 

 I hope that my design has given you an idea of ​​what you can do with amazing products from ABstudio.

Thanks for watching, take care and I hope to see you next time.

Moments with Scrapaholics Chipboard.......

Hi Craftyfriends, today a new design for Scrapaholics Chipboard, my thirst in April 2025. For this mini project I used amazing chipboard elements like SC Town Buildings, SC Life Moments Word Set.

For me this time a mini project, I always have the feeling that this goes faster than a layout, every time I am disappointed. It goes just as fast as a layout, the only advantage is that the project is filled faster while you have put down more materials that you actually wanted to add.

This time I kept the chipboard elements natural, I find the natural color very special. For me the elements do not always have to be edited. 

 

Besides the great SC chipboard elements I used the paper collection Expected 6x6 inch from ABstudio. with shabby / vintage look.

I hope you like my design and I hope you can see that you can combine Scrapaholics Chipboard with al lot of manufacturies. 

Thank you so much to visit my blog, take care and I hope to see you soon.

A tribute for Anne Frank - Gone but not forgotten with ABstudio......


 A Tribute for Anne Frank, I can hear you say....WHY......well you know after the second world war everybody made it clear "This may never happen again" If you look a the world right know, all Hell broke loose. After the ocotober attack on again the jewish people
       Israel declared war on the terrorist organization Hamas.
    Suddenly everyone has forgotten what the Jewish people had to endure during the Second World War, and a large part of the world is turning its back on Israel.

Well not me, I feel one with the Jewish people. As a child I was almost not interested in anything I just wanted to know everything about the Jewish people and what they had to endure during and just before the outbreak of the Second World War.

Anne Frank is my hero,
    a young girl who described her life in hiding from the Nazis during the occupation of the Netherlands during the second world war. Her diary is the most read book of all time.

In my design I used chipboard windows a symbol for "het Achterhuis" behind the de book shelf.

The frames are a symbol for the love she had for famous artists, the pictures / photo's she collect are still at the same place she put them on. 

 

I used text strips from different ABstudio collections, I chose words and texts that most closely match her.

 

For this design / tribute I used the following ABstudio materials:
