pretty stuff + baby-update ofcourse!

Hi
A new post from me again! This time about stuff I bought at 2peas! I can't believe I ordered it, and 5 days later it was here, there was even a weekend in those 5 days!

This first pic is some gorgeous vintage paper from K&Company that I couldn't resist! So pretty, the 2 papers on the upperleft side even have a great pearl shimmer to it and the 3rd glitters!

This is almost everything for the Basic Grey Porseline collection that I really love! I am already working with it now!

These are some sheets of My Minds Eye that I wanted to complete a project I am working on, a scraplift from a lo I am totally in LOVE with!

2 little books that I am working on with the BG papers, it will be a present for our parents, grandparents to be!

And ofcourse I couldn't resist these very pretty beautiful, vintage and romantic flowers from the new Prima Marketing line! There are more that I ordered but haven't arrived just yet.

Scrapping is not easy at this point, my brain is like snot (sorry for the word) and it just doesn't seem to work properly, but it all seems to be due to the pregnancy so I decided I do want to scrap! So I will look for great examples and lift some of it. I hope in 15 weeks things will work again! (well maybe a bit later than that, my girl first ofcourse!).

***baby- update***
I can't believe it's just 15 more weeks now! This friday we'll have another checkup, next wednesday another ultrasound in 3d/4d which we are so looking forward to! Then we will have to wait 14 more weeks to see "the real deal". Oh patience is such a hard thing! We both can't wait to hold and see our little treasure! Her room is almost finished now, tomorrow shades will come in, and a planchet for her little stuff, I need a little carpet and some stuff to decorate the wall, and a lamp and we are totally finished! Then I can start cleaning the room and wash clothes!!!
She's really alive and kicking and the last few days she's keeping that for the night when I am trying to sleep but she's doing well. I finally started to gain a little weight by now! Just half a kilo :-) not much right! Well I am off scrapping again!!

another new lo!

Hello!
Here's another lo for my pregnancy BOM. "Wonder" is dutch for "miracle". On the back is my journaling saying how much I love the kicking and moving that she does! This is lifted by the way and made it my own.

Today I am really tired, I even slept a little over an hour this afternoon as I couldn't stay awake! Now it's 4 pm and I need to put the chicken in the oven! Love that yummy! The day went by fast after all which I am really happy about. I think I'll be in bed early tonight! Have a great weekend all!

Rak winner! + scrapwork

Hi Girls,
Finally I am here again, and will announce the winner of a lovely RAK, which has been delayed a bit, sorry!!!
But first let me start with my new lo's! I am happy with them!

This is a lo I had on my desk for quit some time and couldn't finish it but I finally did, it's not my best but I like it anyway.

This one I finished today, it's a pic of our 20-week ultrasound when we found out we are having a babygirl! Ofcourse it had to be in PINK!

This is a lo I made yesterday, about the first 3 months of pregnancy, which weren't all that fun! But I survived!!

And last but not least I drew a name at random and it's Natacha!!! So please mail me your address so I can send you the RAK as soon as possible!


** Baby-update**
So we got the carseat yesterday! I love it, it's also in pink ofcourse! I also bought some more clothes but not all that much! I bought pink pj's and 1 lovely set of clothes for fall this year, but haven't made pics yet of them. They are cute, believe me! ;-)
I am doing great too, my sleep it rather funny as it differs every night so it seems, one night I only sleep 4 hours and last night I slept from 11 pm till 8.15 am!
The little girl is growing fast and is really alive ánd kicking! The last 2 days she's awake more and kicks my belly all the way around, so much fun! I am 23 weeks and 1 day today! Just 2 weeks and 6 days until our next (and last) ultrasound!

Message #300!!! + rak giveaway

Hello!!
First of all, I was surprised to see I reached post # 300 already! So I decided to do a little Rak Giveaway. Please leave a comment on this post of you'd like to
have a shot at it! I'll do a random pick on monday!

Yesterday Igor and I went shopping for a stroller and this is the one we ordered! I love the colors, how big the grocery basket is underneath and everything about it actually!!

This morning I found out I only have onesies in the smallest size and no actual clothing so I went to the store to buy some and this is what I came home with, it's size 50/56 so she can wear them a little longer than just 1 or 2 weeks. She'll be born in summer so I bought these little cute dresses too!

This is what she'll be wearing when she's born! I so love this cute outfit!!!
And then there's a minibook I finished about our "love weekend" last weekend. I got THIS little chipboard booklet from Sheila in my Guest Designers package. And I decided to make a little lovely book with it as they are so cute! I used 2 sheets of Making Memories Paper from my own stash. Most of the materials are in Sheila's shop too!

Well this is it for now! Don't forget to leave a message! You might get lucky and win something fun!!!

Update on yesterday!

Hello!!!
Yesterday we had our ultrasound and everything was perfectly ok! We really enjoyed seeing our little one again, moving around, "waving" at the doptone etc. We also know the gender but wanted to keep it to ourselves for a little while but.... "daddy" was so happy he accidently made a slip of the tongue and told his parents we are having a..... GIRL!!
After the ultrasound we went down town and bought some cute clothes like this Hello Kitty set, DH chose this one!

This one he chose too as he wants her to look tough too! lol

This was my choice as I love to bake cupcakes!
This is a plaything we bought yesterday too, just in it's package but I will put it together soon!
Today it's Valentinesday and I love this holiday! I gave him a bottle of perfume yesterday and today he got a big bouquet of red roses and tomorrow... there will be another surprise as it is our wedding anniversary! I will place pics tomorrow! I feel so tired but so happy now!!

We went to the scrapstore in Doorn today as well to buy pink stuff to scrap with! This is what I bought, as you can see I behaved very well, I needed cardstock in sweet colors and white, and bought a little PP. I hope Basic Grey will be in stores soon!

Some more stuff to share on Friday the 13th!!

Ok, this should be a day to be careful but we planned on doing a lot today!
First of all Igor is at home ALL weekend! I am soooo happy! It's a special and romantic weekend for us. First of all we're going to have our 20-week ultrasound, this is a medical one to see if everything is all right and if we are lucky we can see if it's a boy or girl!!!
This morning we picked up a big plaything for the baby which was really cheap but only today! So we got lucky, there was only 1 left! In about 30 minutes we will leave for the ultrasound and if everything is ok and I still feel ok, we'll go downtown to shop a little! I really need some shirts as my normal shirts start to be tight and too short now (or my belly big lol). And ofcourse we can start buying babyclothes now if we know the gender! Looking forward to that a whole lot too!

Tomorrow it's Valentines day and that's always romantic! I love that day! I always do something extra extra sweet, I just think it's a special day just like Christmas! I got 1 card already for Valentinesday (not from Igor but from my parents!). We will visit the scrapstore in Doorn tomorrow to buy some blue or pink paper for a minibook! (and probably some more stuff too hehehe).
Sunday is our first weddinganniversary! Special day too for us! Loving this whole weekend!!!

I scrapped some too for Royalty Scrapbooking Another spring-lo and after this I will start the minibook that Sheila also included! Much fun! I entered a photoswap on Royalty Scrapbooking too. Michelle made me this cute little lo about Yazzie.
And I made her this one, I will mail it of today so she'll have it tomorrow I hope!
Well I am off brushing my teeth, finding my purse, getting papers and then go off to see our little baby!!! Update will be there later on!!!

Spring!!

Hi,
Another item for Royalty Scrapbooking !
I thought the paper is really spring-ish, so that's why I wanted to make an altered item that fits the theme! I love hyacinths, and especially their scent and lovely colors. In our garden we have a whole lot of them! So I wanted to get spring inside already, maybe it helps a bit ;-) Here's the first spring-thing!

Another LO

Ok here's another lo for Royalty Scrapbooking The girls said that it was such a colorful, bright, happy paper, so I wanted to show you, you can also make cute and soft layouts with this! I used a sketch from Pencillines for this one! All products used are from the shop, I only added a little lace and perfect pearls. Please click to enlarge to see details.

Guest Designer

Hello!!
As I told you before, I was asked to be February's Guest Designer for Royalty Scrapbooking by Sheila. A big honor for me and ofcourse I am really happy with it. Last Tuesday I received a great package with fun stuff! I got the Imaginisce Twitterpated line with stamp and matching cardstock and embellies! It is a true challenge for me to make fun stuff with it, but it's such a cheerful, playful, funny and fresh line, that shouldn't be a problem! I hope I can inspire you to buy this great paper as well!

First of all I made this card. Igors nephew and his wive became parents of a little fellow named Tobias Daniël so this is for them! I used papers, made the flower myself, used the cute fox stamp I got as well and the ribbon, hat pin etc.

This is a lo I made about my little Yazzie, also used all materials from the lovely kit that I got from sheila, so all items are for sale at her shop! I only added a chipboard swirl from my own collection! Go check out the stuff in her store, there's more of this you know! More cute stamps and embellies!! Go see!!
