Scrap Fx blog post #1

 Hello my dear blog reader,

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick and I am your host for today.

With Halloween around the corner, I decided to create a scrapbook page

in mixed media style with the theme "Halloween".

I love everything that has to do with Halloween. The decoration, the creepyness,

the costumes and and and...

It`s just so sad that Halloween doesn`t play a big role here in Europe.

My dream is: I want to spend Halloween in Disney-Land America.

That must be so cool.

How about you, do you like Halloween too? 

But anyway..

Keep calm and create


I started my layout on a paper-sheet from the "Down under" paper collection from 13@rts

which I covered with two layers of clear gesso. After my gesso was dry, I added Archival red ink

to a stencil from ScrapFx. Then I stamped with the same Archival red ink and a stamp from ScrapFx.

Archival ink becomes waterproof after drying the ink with a heat tool. Red liquid paint as teardrop. 

I made my embellishments with Tim Holtz Big DIEs. 

The coffin and my title are from ScrapFx and I painted them both with black gesso.

After that I felt I needed more stamp imges on my background. 

I stamped with versafine ink and I added to the wet ink WOW black embossing powder.

After melting the embossing powder I painted yellow spots to the stamp images 

 and I added black gesso on the edges.

Some orange pen lines and my background was done. 


My next inspiration is an art journal page.


I started my art journal page on a DIN 4 format watercolorpaper.

My first layer was turquise and yellow acrylic paint from Deco Art 

which I added with my brayer. After that I stamped with Archival ink in the same color

palet as my acrylic paint and ScrapFx stamps. My next step was adding stamp images with

 black Archival ink. After adding my focal point I painted yellow highlights and some 

yellow painted chipboards to my page. My title is  the new collage paper from ScrapFx 

which I glued on cardstock for a 3D effect.

I used from ScrapFx:

Art Inspiration rice paper


Circle Patterns transparency

Men in Black  

Microbes stamp

Triangle Pentagons stencil Halloween layout

Circuitry Bits chipboard art journal page

Chronicles of Time chipboard title Halloween layout

Casket, Dracula coffin chipboard Halloween layout

 Good morning everyone, how are you today? The last few days, we had wonderful sunny days here in The Netherlands. Perfect for a summer scrapbook layout in mixed media style, right? I played along with Tim Holtz snapshot photos, a couple on a beach. The yellow color on my page stands for the sun and the blue watercolor for the sea. Don`t we all want to live our lives as we please? Since I no longer have obligations as a designer in design teams. I am free for my other hobbies, so as gardening, reading and fitness. I am busy converting my garden entirely to a permakultur garden following the method of Ruth Stout. After three years of a warm and dry summers I can see and feel the climat change in our garden. After that, I would also like to grow more of our own vegetables,  new plant beds had to be created. What a beautiful way to spent the time outside. But anyway there is also the new book of the "Seven Sisters" waiting of me to read it. LIVE YOUR LIFE... I created this layou...

13arts challenge layout

Hello everyone, today I have for you a layout which I have created for the current challenge at 13arts. They have a beautiful mood board with rich colors. Here is the mood board for you: Here is the link to 13arts :  13arts A few months ago I started with a new scrapbook layout series: "women around the world.This challenge mood board got me back to create a new layout. Thank you Anguree for your inspiration and for the mood board. At the beginning of my new series, I still glued young women faces on my layouts, but I quickly came to the conclusion that it looks good but not good enough for me. I wanted to tell stories  and stories are not on model faces but only on older ladies. There is nothing more beautiful than a happy old face. I`ve always thought that getting older has something positive. Since I crossed the 50 years mark, I feel relax and positive too!! Now my life is filled with happiness, love and respect for each other. I also know t...
