13@rts April single blog post

 Hello my dear blog reader, 

todays blog post is for the company 13@rts.

Here is the link: http://13arts.pl/

Begin 2021 I decided to create more layouts with my big stash of vintage photos from different 

companys and my own old family photos.

This scrapbook page in mixed media style is with one of the vintage photos as well.

For me the color pink is more a men color. When you look at the history of the colors.

The pink color was in the 19th century a boy color.

The pink color was seen as a stronger color and the perfect match to brown hair and brown eyes.

But this changes in the baby bommers time rond 1940s. 

Pink became the color for girls.

Anyway. 

I created my mixed media layout on the beautiful Spring Pastel paper collection.

So beautiful.


A closer look to my page.





This is the Pastel Spring paper pad 12inch by 12inch


This is the Pastel Spring paper pad A6   

This is the page which I used for my background.


I started as always with clear gesso from 13@rts.

Two layers are perfect at least for me. I added the clear gesso with the silicon brush 

also from 13@rts. 

TIP: If you add clear gesso with a brush, you can create a beautiful texture on your page,

the silicon brush creates more a smooth surface.

In my art journal tutorial on my YouTube channel

have I explaned how I create my dark black shade with color glows.

Perfect to see on the right and left site of my page.

This is what I used from 13@rts:

 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...

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...
