Germany, Part 5: Neuschwanstein

Heyyy, we made it to Germany Part 5!

See the pictures here.  Is it weird that I bought the Swan Lake stamp set specifically for this layout?  The swan motif is very strong in this castle and Hohenschwangau.  I also used the stamp set for my Bruges layout.

Today's color palette includes Gray Granite, Mossy Meadow, Soft Sea Foam, Night of Navy, and Whisper White.

We're running late this morning so I'm not going to make it to my gym class, but I can still go running on the track.  Have a great day, peeps!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Swan Lake, Tim Holtz Christmas Alphabet
Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Balmy Blue, Gray Granite, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Whisper White, Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy marker
Paper:  Gray Granite, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Thick Whisper White, Garden Lane DSP
Accessories:  None

Germany, Part 4: Hohenschwangau

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  We're up to Germany layout #4, which was our tour of Hohenschwangau.

See the pics here.  I have to say, I would never ever put Mossy Meadow and Mint Macaron together on my own, but somehow the Garden Lane paper makes it work.  There's tiny little dots of Pear Pizzazz on the patterned paper as well, but they're so small and Pear Pizzazz has enough yellow in it that they read more yellow with the addition of Delightful Dijon photo mats.

As discussed above, today's color palette includes Mossy Meadow, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, and Whisper White.  Next Monday will be the final Germany layout...for now ;)  Auf wiedersehen, y'all!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Hello Lovely, Tim Holtz Christmas Alphabet
Ink:  Night of Navy
Paper:  Mossy Meadow, Delightful Dijon, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Garden Lane DSP
Accessories:  7/8" square punch

Germany, Part 3: Eibsee

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I'm back with layout #3 from when hubs and I visited Germany in 2013.

Again, see the pics up close here.  I went really old skool and used Lovely as a Tree for my accent on the right-hand page; I still can't hardly believe that set finally retired.  It was already in the catalog when I first started stamping!  This is my least favorite of the five Germany layouts; I just feel like it's missing something but I don't know what.  But done is better than perfect, and not every layout can be my favorite, so it's okay.

Today's color palette includes Night of Navy, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Gray Granite, and Whisper White.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Lovely as a Tree, Tim Holtz Christmas Alphabet
Ink:  Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow
Paper:  Night of Navy, Gray Granite, Mossy Meadow, Thick Whisper White, Garden Lane DSP
Accessories:  None

Germany, Part 2: Partnach Gorge

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I haven't been in my craft room in like a week.  We went out to Texas and Oklahoma on the 16th, and over that trip is when we told our families that we're moving to Germany next year...and it's also when my brother and sister-in-law announced that they're expecting Baby #2!  And the due date is Ryan's third birthday, ha.

So!  Today I have Germany layout #2 to share:

See the photos close up here and here.  The gorge wasn't far away from where we were staying and it was a beautiful hike (says the girl who doesn't do hiking as a rule).  And it's also very LOUD in the gorge with all the rushing water :)

Today's color palette includes Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy (I promise it's not black), and Whisper White.  I'm going to have to get like a bazillion extra packs of the Garden Lane DSP, I love it.  Lots of different shades of green and you can add lots of other colors to it for a different look.

Okay kids, we're off to the Y.  Have a great day!

Supplies:

Stamps:  Rooted In Nature, Tim Holtz Christmas Alphabet
Ink:  Garden Green, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy marker
Paper:  Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Thick Whisper White, Garden Lane DSP
