Hiya!
No I haven't been scrapbooking! I have been creative though! I have been making Deck of Me cards. I just found out about them and "they" are already at card #11 so I have some work to do! I finished 3 already, I will scan them later on. I really hope the new FP paper is at Chantals soon this week! I have a HUGE order because I am almost out of paper. Anyway I had a great time making these cards!

This morning we went to the forest for a long walk and we loved it! It felt like spring, the sun was shining, the air smelling sooooo great! We listened to the birds, the wind in the treetops and the pinecones popping open due to the warmth of the sun, it was so lovely to be in nature again! We decided to go again next week if the weather allows us to! This is one of my favorite photo's I took today. You can click on it to enlarge.



Now I am off painting again! Oh I also made my own stamps with a plastic box, rubberband and mounting spray, I love to create! It only makes me more enthousiastic to make more and more! So off I go as my fingers are itching again!

Spring in the air

Today the weather has been so kind on us here but I didn't really enjoyed it much. I've been in the garden for about 20 minutes tops and then I went inside again. I was in a scrapping mood so had to take advantage of it ofcourse! I had some nice ideas but some I couldn't do due to insufficient scrapping materials. Too bad, another reason to order more new stuff!!!! I am running out of paper (well almost that is) so I made a LO with left overs which I really like how it turned out!
The LO I talked about yesterday, for the contest... well had some left-overs as well so used them to make another page similar to the on in the contest, now you may guess which LO I lifted?! (the person who made the original probably will know!)

finally scrapping again!

After 9 days! Why? Well I was redecorating! I painted the stairs, did the ceiling and walls in our hallway/entrance and also some wood needed a fresh paint so I did that the past 9 days, also had to clean up a lot as there wasn't much time and energy to do that after all the work! Sunday Igors sister+husband came to visit us which was great! She started scrapbooking as well!
Well this is a LO I made today. A picture of Valentinesday this year, so sweet!
The other one I can't show just yet as it is my entry for a competition on scrapfever. We had to scraplift a lo from a DT-member. It was difficult to make a choice but finally I did and the LO was finished before I knew it! I enjoyed making it anyway!

my favorite photo

Elsie asked what everyone's favorite photo was/is. I have a whole lot to be honost! It inspired me to make a mini album about my most valueble and favorites photo's.
This lo I made today. It's one of my favorite photo's that I took of my sweetie (also long hair Elsie!!!) click to enlarge!


The second one I made a few days ago, still using up old paper! It's going very well actually! I am all set (well almost) for the great new lines!
xoxo

I'm in the mood!

Or should I say mode? Scrapping mode, both I guess, anyway I finished 3 lo's again! You might think I do nothing else but scrapping.... well you are wrong! They just come rolling out! Only the pic on the bottom took me a whole afternoon, not the pic ofcourse but the lo. I loved how they turned out! This one I just finished!

This one is just soooo sweet, the big pic, the way he looks at me is sooo adorable but he is way up high on the pole so I couldn't cuddle him!

Last but not least a nice winter-ish lo! Love it, took me a lot of time to get it the way I wanted it and this is the result I am very happy with!

again 2 lo's

hi!
Today was my lazy scrapday! I slept in today until 9.15 am! After that I had breakfast and cleaned the bathroom and mopped the hallways and stairs, quite boring I know! But when that was finished it was ME-time! I made 2 lo's. The first one is not as I wanted it to be.


The second one is great, well, I think so myself! What do you think? A great way to work with lots of photo's or a photoserie!


Well I am totally in scrappingmode so I will go one for a while since my sweetie will not be home within 2 hours!
bye now!

Valentines mailbox

Hiya!
This was my entry for a Valentinescontest of a scrapstore, I really like how it worked out!

I also finished another Heritage page about my grandma, title: Lady in Red. It's quite hard I found to make heritagepages, thank god for 2p and it's examples!


Now this is all done I can concentrate on some new fun pictures! The new contest/challenge is to lift a lo from a DT member. There are so many great lo's so that will be a hard choice! But I am sure I will be able to make it work!! Still waiting for the new Fancy Pants paper to be in shop here!!! Hopefully it won't take all that long now!
Off scrapping now!

Have a great weekend all!

Rainy Days are Made for Scrapping!

Good sunday to all!
A good day? Today? While it's raining like crazy all day? My answer: YES IT IS!!!!
Why? Well I have been scrapping all day and made 2 lo's. One idea I came up with because it is so grey and sad outside while it should be sunny, and flowers should be blooming, it should be spring-ish! But I got a little bit of spring in my own house!



This one is an engagement photo of my grandparents. They are both not with us anymore unfortunately but I LOVE this photo and just had to scrap it once. It was the first time I used heritage pics but I liked it a lot though.

Weekend!

I always love it when it's weekend! I don't know why that is but I just do.
I have no plans actually, just relax and probably scrap some. I finished 2 lo's again the last 2 days!
This one is an Elsie Challenge #7; artistic photo; I also posted it on The Pink Donut as a challenge of week 8; show a lo where you could really use a Cricut! Well practically all my lo's could use that! I always print them from word and cut the letters out by hand but it isn't nearly as pretty as it would be cut by such a great machine!

This one I finished yesterday. I am still using old paper, here's Rusty Pickle and Fancy pants mixed together. Dreaming of all fun new papers that are coming up like Elsie's line?

2 new ones

Hiya!
Well I tried making a LO while having a scrapblock, not a great succes because this is what I made of it


Now after 4 or 5 days yesterday I finally made a new LO that I lifted but love so much as it is so simple. It would be even more if I had a sewing machine, but now I did the stitching by hand!


My friend was happy with the mini album I made her for her birthday but I haven't asked her if she's ok with me posting it here so I will just leave it at this for now. I am very glad she liked it!

scrappersblock again?

hi there,
well I've got this great new paper, cute pics and no inspiration, nothing fun comes out of my hands, well at least not in scrapping! Too bad! Just wait a couple of days and it will be back I'm sure. Instead I made loads of pictures, wrote a whole lot as well, and I tried to finish a LO that I was working on but I really don't like how it turned out. Well, can't have it all right?
Just some random stuff to share!
Here's a frame I bought for christmas, with and old picture of us

Here's a funky vase we bought a while ago


And last but not least my bazzill stash

Look what I got!

My order from the scrapstore came in today at 4.30 pm! I am so happy with all the new paper from Basic Grey and Crea Motion! Love it! I also ordered Bazzill and Dabbers, fibers and glue Oh and this cute stamp alphabet. I am happy!!!




I am sure that in the near future (I mean within 2 months) there will be a whole lot more! Which is ok because I saved money, It's my birhtday soon and I am almost out of paper and I wanted to clean it all up!
Off scrapping now!

Valentinesday

First of all I want to wish everyone a very happy Valentinesday! A very lovely day to think extra about your lovedones, well that's my opinion! For the last 3 year I have been doing a lot for Valentinesday and Igor hasn't because we couldn't afford it or for whatever reason. He always felt a bit guilty about that. So this year I didn't do much about it because I didn't want him to feel awkward about anything. I really didn't expect him to even remember this Loving day! Well...... HE DID!!!!! This morning I found a lovely note on our table which I think was sooooo sweet! And then he came home with this:

Ok the picture isn''t all that good but it's dark already so tomorrow I will make new ones. I feel another LO comming up!

I just love multicolored roses! So he did a great job! It was so heavy, it must be 50 or more roses! So sweet! I was really emotional about it! Can you imagine?
Have a great night, sleep well!

book is finished

hi girls,
My mini album about my cat Browny is finished. It has been a struggle at times and very emotional as well but I finished it and I am very pleased with most of the pages.
It would mean the world to me if you would take the time to walk through all of the pages here . I hope you like them as much as I do.
Here are a few peaks.





Some of the layouts are scraplifts from other layouts, some of them are my interpretation of some of Elsie's sketches and some are original (the ones I like least!)
My next project? Well I bought this cute little album in a box for cats of 16x21 cm. I will start making catlo's for that one now. I ordered some new paper from Creamotion and Basic Grey today and hope it will soon be delivered oh and a whole lot of Bazzill (especially bling bling!) and cute little alphabetic stamps. Really looking forward to that!
xoxo

new look

hi all,
had a nice weekend? I had a very quiet weekend with no obligations what so ever!
I scrapped a lot but also had a great time cleaning the house big time! It all smells so great now!

Today I wanted to try a new look on my blog, but it took me so much time! It's not what I had in mind but now at least I know how everything works! I choose an old Basic Grey paper as my button filler and I will make ones when the new lines are in!
I loved doing it though! So probably very soon my blog will change again!

I almost finished my mini album (see previous post) and it was a lot of work, as well as emotional, but it was a good thing! I love how it turned out. I will make some pics tomorrow as it is too dark now. I wish you all a very good night!
Love 'n hugs
