Back again!

Goodmorning!!!
I am back after 3 days, no I haven't been anywhere but my computer has! It needed to be fixed, or at least 2 programms needed to be fixed so yesterday evening my computer came in again!
What have I been up to? Making my christmasjournal! I was and still am inspired by Julie Ann to make one. She made a digital one but I loved it so much I desided to make one of my own, not digital though. Here are a few pics of the first pages. The rest isn't finished yet, or not on a pic yet but I will share the rest pretty soon I promise! Julie Ann thanks for making such wonderful layouts and inspire me (us) to make one of my own!


The rest is over here Please do check!

Happy New Year to All

First of all: happy new year to you all; I hope you will all have a healthy, creative, loving and inspiring 2007! We didn't do much, watched some tv and only won € 10,00 in the state lotery, but hé we at least won something! I didn't set a lot of goals for this year, just some spiritual stuff oh and I made a list of things I really want to buy this year!

Today I started off buying myself a secondhand scooter, a Kymcom DJ, bright orange but as usual I never leave things the way they are, always want to change it to my likings so same story here. I just can't choose between a few option. For instance I wanted to paint it iceblue with bright silver shiny stars, ór purple in different shades starting in a dark shade and upwards it gets lighter, or purple, just one shade and make some baroque or doodles on it. Just don't know yet.

Here's a lo I made for the contest and I didn't win so I can show it now. Or actually SNOW it now! The theme was "winterwonderland"

new lo's

hi there!
Yesterday Igor took me to paper and pictures to buy some scrapbooksupplies and I really enjoyed it again! I bought some christmaspaper to make a christmas mini-album, 2 packs of embellishments, some stickers and labels and a grey pritt ofcourse.
Igor bought me this great album with 25 refills! As a late christmaspresent!
It's great isn't it?


When we got home we had a quick supper as Igor and Adam had to bring the car to the garage to get it painted!!! Finally!!! I'll show the results when it's back!
Igor left and I went to my scraproom to work with my new stuff ofcourse. I finished 4 lo's! Ok most of it was ready but it was the finishing touch. One I can't show just yet as it is for a competition but I will show it as soon as the results are in.
This is my favorite:

This one is about my friend Kelly who lives in southern France now, this picture is us back in 1988 or 1989 I am not sure. It's also an Elsie Challenge #1


And this is an Elsie Challenge #2

I am off now; working on my christmasalbum!!!

Christmascard/star minibook

Hi,
This year I decided to do it a little bit different! I learned how to scrap this last few months so I decided to make a star mini album instead of a card, but just only for our parents!!! They loved it. So here are a few pics, the rest is here in my 2P album. Take a look!!!

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
