Strange weather

hi all,
The weather here is totally upset! Yesterday I was complaining about the fact that it wasn't really winter yet, it looks like fall and even the temperatures are way too high! But today my complaints have been heard as it is so cold outside now! I won't complain (try again tomorrow morning at 7 am!) I did take some great pics yesterday and 2 of them are really scrapable and really wanted to share them.

Today I have been writing my christmascard and preparing a surprise for Igor, which is so hard as I really don't know what to surprise him with in the first place as it is his birthday this thursday ánd it is christmas 11 days later! So it is an expensive month for us, double expensive! But I have an idea now that I will start working on tomorrow afternoon!

Back again!

Hi!
The computer is fixed again! Igor asked his co-worker if he knew what was wrong and he did. It was fixed in an instant so I am very happy. I hope I can buy the cd thing next month so I can save a back up on a cd rom. I was a bit worried as I don't have a back up of all my stuff, which includes a whole lot of pics!
Well; not having a computer has it's advantages; I made more LO's then when I do have a computer! So here are a few photo's. I completed 5 and am working on 2 still.
Love the new paper I got last week!



The rest of them are in my 2peas album

pc broke down!

hi there,
just a short message from me. I am sitting in the library right now typing this message as my computer at home broke down! I hope it will be fixed soon, or that I will be able to buy a new one, so it will be a bit quiet around me here, sorry!\Hope to see you soon again!
XOXO

And again...

A new LO that I finished last night but it was too dark to take a good picture so I think the colors aren't exactly as they should be. But ok enough to give you an impression. I scraplifted this one so it's a mutiple Elsie Challenge but I decided to make it a # 9 challenge: doodle on photographs so here it is! (By the way I used Basic Grey color me silly paper and all the purple embelishments I got in a swap)

Flowers So Romantic!

Hi there,
Here's a 12x12 Lo again, it has been at least 2 weeks since I last made such a LO! I am pretty satisfied with it. I used the new cosmo cricket paper (frontside and back). I just made that picture of lovely flowers I bought 2 days earlier and now they were all opened. I just ***LOVE*** flowers!



Tonight I will spend the night scanning some old pics that I took with my analoge camera. I didn't have a lot of fun pictures to scrap (how did that happen?) so I decided to go through some old photo albums and found tons! I will scan them tonight and order them so I will have them wednesday I guess and after that I will spend the night scrapping I guess. Igor has to go to school and tomorrow I really don't have to do anything so I can scrap away again!
XOXO

Last 3 pages

Hi hi,
I finally finished my last 3 pages of my Elsie Culture Study! check out here! It's not very special although I do like the last page! I added some ribons to the rings and all done!

Yesterday I got my package at 4.30 pm can you believe it, all day waiting!!!! But it was worth it big time as the paper is soooo pretty. I ordered the Blush from Basic Grey and Mulberry and Claire de Lune from Fancy Pants and they are *sooo* pretty!
The new contest for this month is "winterwonderland" We have to make a 12x12 LO with a winter theme and use at least 2 winter brads/eyelets. I don't have a single one so I will have to order them, very smart Chantal!!

2006-2007

It's almost the end of another year, a time to give thanks, a time to look back, a time to set new goals for the next year, a time to reflect. That's exactly what I did the other day. Here are my results. What are your goals for 2007? I achieved at least one goals of 2006 and that was to quit smoking! I also put some other LO's in my 2p album here

Not all that

Hi there!
Today the result came of the contest, I didn't win so now I can show my lo's here. I didn't think that much of it, wasn't satisfied with both of them but I had to make a choice. So I send in the red one. Here they are, judge for yourself!
The other LO I made is in another contest which will hopefully end next week!
I am really looking forward to tomorrow as my order comes in again! I ordered this great paper of chatterbox, the blush line of Basic Grey and Claire de Luna and Mulberry of Fancy Pants. Great great great (did I mention great?) looking paper! Oh and ofcourse the bling bling Bazzill! Couldn't resist!
Have a great weekend y'all!

Christmascard action

Hi dear you all,
As some of you know, writing is one of my other hobby's. I have been writing with B. for over a year now. He's an inmate on Texas Jail. He's a very young man that made a stupid mistake but I can't tell you more about that. He's very lonely and has to stay in his cell for 24 hours a day! The only "good" moment of the day is when the mailman comes, but there isn't something in that bag for him everyday, I try hard to send him a lot but it's hard sometimes. Now I thought; maybe I can send him lots of christmascards, he will surely love it! But I need help to do so! That's where you might come in! I hope you will help me with this christmaspresent so he will receive a whole lot of christmas cards. I can't tell you his name or his address but you can send me an email and I will send you my address and you can send me a card. Then somewhere around 15 december I will send all cards to him. Will you please help me make his christmas an unforgettable one???
Thank you for reading!
Hugs

Colourful me!

Hi there,
The last few days were all about colour for me! I bought great new stuff like clothing and accesories for my scraproom and everything is so colourful! I usually always go for black and white, maybe grey that's about it, but now I only bought 1 item that was grey, and my shoes were black but the rest was all in bright and lovely colours!
I bought 2 shirts, 1 Colbert jacket, 2 scarf which I am totally in love with! Some storage boxes for my scraproom, a "lazy" outfit of flanel pants with stripes and a t-shirt with a kitty on it! Here are some pictures

Order

No not in the courtroom! Just kidding. I placed a small order at an online scrapstore which came in today. 2 bags of Plain Janes chipboards, 1 package of glue dots (can't miss them anymore!), a sheet of BG's Wholy Cow rub-ons (already used one as you can see on the pic) and last but certainly not least: Paper salons tailored tins Dancy flourishes stamps! (pfff got that out right) and I love them. Some curious "Aagjes" wanted to see pics so here they are:

Really scrapping on a wall!!

Both Igor and I have these crazy ideas about how to decorate your house, especially colors and figures, for instance our stairs are metallic purple, we have grey doors with pink squares on them (like a little window), our bedroom is like a 1001 night fairy tale, and my scraproom is all self build with self made closets, bookcases and huge desk with a strange figure. I also painted strange figures on the wall, only one of them is still visable.
The other day I spent some time figuring out how to make part of a picture in greyscale and other parts just colored, after a while I managed to do so. I worked on one pic I love of Igor and had it printed in a bigger size (20x28 cm). I pasted it on a heritage paper of 12x12" (30,5cmx30,5cm) and then I didn't know what to do with it! I was blocked, but I didn't put it aside, I just pasted it on the wall in that strange figure! And you know what.... I liked it!!! Today I painted some more on that wall and here is the result, not finished by a long shot but it's a start!

Lucky to...

be sharing my life with my sweetheart! I love him to death and it's so great we share so many same interests and features. We complete each other and are soulmates, no doubt about that. We felt this click ever since we met over 21 years ago and it hasn't disappeared!
When I was busy working on my culture study (Elsie thnx loads for you comment!)Igor was also being creative. He is all into airbrushing and was trying out some new masks but it didn't work out all ok and he got a little cranky because of that (it's so adorable it is hard not to laugh!). Just wanted to share this!!!

Culture Study

Hi there!
Elsie visited holland a little while ago and gave this great workshop on a culture study. The day before yesterday I was sooo inspireless I didn't know what to do, but at 6pm I remembered the workshop and started working on my own culture study. I worked on it till 10 pm and yesterday all day! I used patterned papers that I once bought but didn't have a clue what to do with them, well now I did! Today I didn't have the inspiration to do so, so I just played housewife! My moms comming over for dinner you see:D
It was fun though working on it and I am sure I will finish it tomorrow or saturday perhaps. But just to get an idea visit my Gallery
Here are 2 peaks

How much I love....

Paris!!! I almost forgot, but yesterday I looked through the pages of someone elses photobook. Or actually Elsies Photobook This is an absolute must see! When I saw this genious pictures I started to miss Paris! I've been there twice in my life, 96 hours in total to be exact, and slept 17 hours of them. I felt at home straight away, instantly fell in love so I was soooo glad Elsie shared her pics with all of us and exactly captured how I felt!!! You are a genious Els!!!
Elsie also Inspired me to make the Culture Study album, just for the fun of it, to crack myself up in 10 years when it comes out again! I started last night at 6 and still not finished! I spend all day scrapping today! So compliments to the ones that took her classes and finished it! And ofcourse Elsie for her brilliant idea. Enough kissing up for now (but I do mean every word of it!!!) I will sign off here for now as I have some serious scrapping to do!
Will place the pics of the album soon, I promise
Hugs and kisses
