No mojo...

As I mentioned my mojo is lost! Last week I did this LO but I don´t like it this much. The pic was taken last christmas and I look sooo tiered! But it´s what christmas 2007 was: we were happy newlyweds and tiered because of all teh stress we had. We had just two free days from work to get married and worked all the other days - even between christmas and New Years Eve...


I hope to find my mojo when I´m done with my new scraproom. I don´t want to search for stuff anymore!!! When I went to my sewing-class last thursday I needed to start a new project. I came across this wallhanging in a book from Tone Finnager. I really love her stuff and I think this wallhanger for my current mags look way better than my old one from plastic!

I´m curious to read if you like it! :o) I had fun sewing!

Have a great day! - Coni

Together

As I mentioned yesterday I did another LO for our wedding-album. I just took the pics and decide spontanously what to do. I really like how it looks in the end. :o)


Close ups:

I guess I need to buy an album for our wedding-LOs! Right now I put all my LOs on my cabinet. This isn´t the perfect place for them I guess! ;o) The problem is that I didn´t saw a album I like so far.

Yesterday I wanted to scrap again or stamp a little. But when I sat down I couldn´t do anything. :o( I hate that! I´m waiting the whole day to find the time to scrap and when the time is there I have no idea anymore and don´t feel like being creative anymore. :o( I guess I´m not the only person knowing this feeling! I think it´s time to reorganize and hopefully have a much more inspiring space when I´m done! ;o)

A zoo-visit

The weather was so sunny last sunday that Andi and I decided to go to the zoo. I really like the zoo here in Hamburg. It´s a private one and they try to make it the best for the animals. :o)

I took a lot of pics. Here are just a few of them:

Andi love to feed the elephants. But because of the cold weather they were inside where it´s not possible to give them something. But he feeds this little guy:

This cute babygiraffe was just born in January and her parents protected her from all the visitors!

I LOVE flamingos! Don´t ask me why! It´s just this way. Their color is so beautiful! I hope I could see some of them in Florida again that don´t life in a zoo! :o)

I did two more LOs lately. The first one I did for the organization-class again. I started with the pics this time.


After trying different ways to get a LO done I know which is the easiest way for me. I like to start with the story than choose the pic, design, products and tools (in this order). I´m curious to see what this means for my new scrap-space! :o)

The other LO I did was for a challenge at Scraplove. The challenge was to scrap a day in you life. Since I never get a complete day in my life detailed written down I decided to scrap something that´s on my list every day: my pills for my thyroid. :o)

The title is "Every day" and the journaling is about my need to take the pills and that it´s usual and improtant for me to take them.

I did another wedding-LO yeaterday. I couldn´t take a pic because it was too dark but I´ll hope to show it tonight! :o)

Tilda & Co-challenge "Romance"

I wanted to do one of the great challenges on the "Tilda & Co-challenge blog" today again. The new theme was "romance" and since I love Valentines I created this card with my favorite color! :o)


We spend the wonderful sunny day outside today. We decided to go to the zoo this afternoon and had a great time there! I´ll show some pics tomorrow when I had a look on all pics! ;o)

Have a great start in the new week! - Coni

I recieved this award from Monika and Nadine. I thank both of you a lot because it´s always great to know that somebody likes to read and see what you do! :o)

But I´ll give this award to a great scrapper in the States that just started blogging: Michele. I LOVE her LOs, like her a lot, am happy to "know" her and can´t wait to see the new posts on her blog! :o)

Organized scrapbooker

I started a new Big Picture-class in January. It´s about reorganizing your scrapplace. I really NEED to reorganize everything! My place isn´t inspiring and it´s not functional either. Every time I sit down I start searching for the stuff I want to use and sometimes I´m not even sure what I have.

That´s why I bought this book from Wendy Smedley and Aby Garvey last October.


I really love this book. But when it came I didn´t found the time to start organizing. Luckyly I found out about the new class at Big Picture where Wendy Smedley teaches the reorganization using this book!

Before we start grabbing in our stash we had to look about what inspires us and what motivates us. I really like this because everybody needs a differnent way to do their space so it´s inspring to her.

We should do a sign where everythings shown what motivates us NOW to scrap. Here´s mine:


I liked how it turns out. It´s made in a simple way because I´ll put it in my space and I don´t like stuff that´s too much, kwim?

Another thing we did was a inspiration-board. Here everything is shown that inspires me. There isn´t a lot on it now but I hope this will change soon!

I´m thinking about doing a binder with inspirational stuff too. But since I just did my scrap-planner for this year I think I´ll test and use this one first! :o)

To get a feeling what way we work we should do LOs with differnet approaches. This is the first one I did. I started with design. It´s a scraplift from a LO I saw from C.D. Muckosky. I LOVE her style but honestly I don´t think I´m that good at doing the same... But I tried it again and here´s what I did!

I would love to hear what you think about it! I´m not sure if I like it... So please be honest! ;o)

That second LO started with the story. I wrote the journaling a while ago. It´s all stuff that I´ve learned in life and don´t want to forget. :o) The title says: Enjoy life!

I´ll do some more "test"-LOs and see what way I love to work. And I need to do work on some more chapters in the book so I get caught up. Looks like we´ll start digging in the stuff next week and I need to be prepared! Luckyly there isn´t much planned for the weekend so I could do it! :o)

Have a great day! - Coni

Another Stampin´Up!-card

I did another card for my Stampin´Up-workshops. I wanted to do something with brighter colors so I used the red papers. It´s a simple card again but I like it! :o)
