Iets wat ook al een tijd op mijn lijst stond was een canvas met een foto van mijn 2 broertjes. Deze foto is begin december gemaakt, en nodigde uit tot scrappen. Nu eindelijk 2 maanden later is de canvas gemaakt...( heerlijk dat wegstrepen van mijn lijstje! hihi)
Ik vind hem erg gaaf geworden. Straks ga ik hem geven aan mijn ene broertje....ben benieuwd naar zijn reactie! ;-)
Hoop zo dat ik morgen mijn BG papier binnen krijg...het is zooooo mooi!!!
Vanavond weet ik niet of ik weer ga scrappen, anders morgen zowiezo met de crop. Maar ik heb weer een paar leuke ideeen....

2007-02-07T02:12:00.000-08:00

Voor mijn schoonvaders verjaardag in december zou ik nog steeds een canvas maken. Alleen liet de foto erg lang op zich wachten, dus het duurde even voordat ik eraan kon beginnen.
Maar hij is eindelijk af. Ik heb echt een mega-lange lijst met scrapdingen die ik deze maand wil gaan doen.....hoop dat ik de tijd kan vinden! ( en dan is februari ook nog eens een korte maand....:-( )
Gelukkig ga ik zaterdag croppen bij Sheila, dan kan ik even wat uurtjes achter elkaar aan de slag.
Vanavond wil ik ook nog wel wat doen. Denk dat het een Lo wordt van Fenna in valentijns/liefdessfeer voor de wedstrijd van descrapheap.
Heb deze week in ieder geval mazzel dat ik 3 avonden al kan scrappen omdat Andries niet thuis is.....dat scheelt al een hele boel. LOL! :-))

2007-02-02T01:56:00.000-08:00

En hier mijn lootje gemaakt met de scrapfever kit!

2007-02-01T22:41:00.000-08:00

Weer een maand voorbij. Dus ik kan mijn inzending voor de wedstrijd weer showen. ( de wedstrijd van scrapfever). Er waren echt heel veel mooie inzendingen!! Maar ik vond het ook een uitdaging om nav een sketch te werken.
Ik ga ook nog een LO maken in dezelfde stijl met een foto van Fenna, en die dan samen op canvas doen.
Gister heb ik nog een LO gemaakt van de kit. Maar daar moet ik nog een foto van maken, die volgt.
We gaan vandaag naar Mijdrecht voor een nachtje. Mijn zusje gaat weer meedoen met de talentenjacht, en ik ga kijken. Dan slapen we bij mijn schoonouders, en gaan morgen weer naar huis....Dan ga ik beginnen aan de Cirkel Journal kids van Pien....

2007-01-31T09:48:00.000-08:00

Wat een feestdag vandaag! Ik kreeg vandaag 2 scrappakketten binnen!!

Eentje was de januari rak, gekregen van Marielle! Ik ben er echt zooooo blij mee! Hij is helemaal geweldig! Papier van Bohemia ( had ik ook gevraagd), met bijpassende rub-ons, titels, lint, chipboard, bloemen....teveel om op te noemen!! Echt, daar kan ik zeker iets heel moois van maken! Ook kreeg ik mijn allereerste kit binnen! Ik heb een lidmaatschap op de scrapfever kit. En hij is werkelijkwaar geweldig! Ik heb geen ervaringen met kits, maar deze is boven mijn verwachtingen. Heel gaaf nieuwer dan nieuw papier van 3 bugs. Echt super! ( zie foto)
Ik mag alleen pas weer een Lo gaan maken als ik mijn titelswap af heb. Nog 2 groepjes en dan ben ik klaar, dan kan ik eindelijk aan mijn mooie papier beginnen!!!

2007-01-28T05:56:00.000-08:00

Vandaag is Fenna in de kerk opgedragen. Ik heb er helaas nog geen foto's van. Hoop dat ik die later nog kan laten zien.

Ik heb net Elsie challenge #5 gemaakt voor de wekelijkse challenge op scrapfever.

Hopelijk kan ik vanavond ook nog wat scrappen. Heb nog een hoop projectjes op stapel liggen die ik wil (moet)doen.

Sommige blijf ik maar vooruit schuiven, maar ik denk dat ik die beter maar als eerste nu kan gaan doen, anders hik ik er alleen maar tegenaan.

Dus.......de swaps! ;-)

2007-01-25T00:40:00.000-08:00

Gister heb ik een kalender gemaakt. Ik had het idee van Sheila, die had ook een hele gave gemaakt.

Ik wilde een beetje een rustige kalender wat kleur betreft, en dat is ook gelukt al zeg ik het zelf.

Ben er erg trots op! En ook een leuk idee om een keer cadeau te geven!

2007-01-23T02:28:00.000-08:00

So in love!!!!

Gisteravond heb ik lekker kunnen scrappen. Ik had een geweldig leuke LO in mijn hoofd, maar die is uiteindelijk in de prullenbak belandt...het lukte voor geen meter!

Daarna heb ik deze in nog geen half uurtje gemaakt. En die is toch veel beter gelukt dan die andere!

Fenna wordt al een echt peuter....lekker ondeugend..hihi

En, oh my...., ik heb zoveel nieuwe sneaks gezien van de merken. Ik zie mijn geld al heerlijk opgaan aan al die nieuwe lijnen. Ik ben werkelijkwaar 'in love' met een aantal. En dat alleen nog maar via foto's en nog niet eens in het echt!

Hieronder een paar sneaks....zoooo mooi!

2007-01-20T02:02:00.000-08:00

Challenge #4 Gisteravond ben ik begonnen met Challenge#4 voor Scrapfever. Het was de bedoeling dat je een zelfgemaakt chipboard figuur zou gebruiken.

Tja, makkelijker is natuurlijk gewoon even tussen je chipboards snuffelen, maar zelf maken.....ja, ik ben voor het gemak geboren zeg maar.

Maar toch gedaan. Beetje ruzie met de schaar, maar het is gelukt.

De letters zijn met de cricut gedaan. Dat is nog een beetje proberen, had achteraf ze iets groter willen doen, en hoofdletters, maar dat weet ik dan voor de volgende keer.

Er liggen nu 3 Cj's op me te wachten, nog 2 swaps, dus dat zijn mijn volgende projecten...

2007-01-19T01:35:00.000-08:00

Gisteravond lekker aan het scrappen geslagen. Ik had eerst het idee om challenge #4 te maken, maar ik heb het chipboard niet zelf gemaakt, dus die vlieger gaat niet op! Haha. Maar ik was zo op dreef, hij vloog echt uit mijn handen deze LO. Ik ben er zelf echt heel tevreden over. Hij gaat ook op canvas.... Mijn volgende project wordt dus Challenge#4. Maar welke foto of papier, daar ben ik nog niet over uit.....

2007-01-17T10:40:00.000-08:00

Het is toch best lastig om een kerstfoto te scrappen in januari! Ik had Sheila er ook al over gehoord, en ik dacht nog "oh, daar heb ik geen last van als kerst-lover', maar toch. Heb zitten schuiven en doen....en dit is het resultaat.....

Ik ga die andere kerstfoto's toch maar even apart leggen, ga eerst maar weer even wat andere dingen scrappen.

Zaterdag komt bij Sheila nog een bestellinkje binnen van me. Ook met nieuw papier van KImemories, spannend!!! Ach, heb nog niet genoeg papier..haha

Nou, ik ga een beginnetje maken aan een vintage lo. Moet alleen nog even de goede titel zoeken. En oh ja, Sheila gaat een foto van Amy scrappen, ben benieuwd!!!

2007-01-16T08:56:00.000-08:00

Ja, zoals jullie kunnen lezen ben ik in het Nederlands overgegaan. Ik moest soms te lang op bepaalde woorden "broeden",en ja, die tijd kan ik beter aan scrappen besteden! haha
Zo heb ik vandaag mijn 1e wortelkanaalbehandeling ondergaan. Ja, hoe had ik dat in het Engels moeten melden? Dan zou ik komen op 'carrotchanneltreatment', nou dat zal niet helemaal kloppen gok ik! haha
We zitten nog steeds met zieken thuis. Amy knapt al iets op van haar dubbele oorontsteking. Maar gisteravond toen ik "heftig" wilde gaan scrappen werd Fenna in haar eigen kots wakker...helaas.
Maar we zullen er toch wel een keertje uitkomen? Uit die ziekenboeg?

Gister overdag nog wel gescrapt. Deze winterse Lo is het resultaat. Ik vond hem wel een beetje saai. Maar dat komt door de weinig kleur aanwezigheid natuurlijk.....
Ben wel giga blij met mijn cricut. De letters zijn daar ook meegedaan. Nou maar hopen dat ik vanavond wel nog tijd heb om te scrappen, heb mijn foto al klaar liggen.....

2007-01-14T07:09:00.000-08:00

Although Amy is still ill, and I'm having a toothache, I still did some scrapping. I made Elsie Challenge#3 for scrapfever. The 2 hearts were made by the Cricut! Yes!!! I got it!!!
I haven't had a lot time to practice with it, but when Amy is better I surely will!!!
It goes so smooth with that thing....awesome!!!
Can't wait to make a lot more with it!

2007-01-11T05:59:00.000-08:00

First off all : I ORDERED THE CRICUT!!!! Wow, I sold so many stuff on Marktplaats ( dutch kind of ebay) that I was able to buy it! Can't wait to use it!!!! Yesterday I finished this Lo. Oh I love the paper so much! Before that I made my entry for a Cirkel Journal.
I hope I will be able to make some more lo's the next few days. But because Amy is ill, I don't think there will be a lot time for me left to scrap. But ok, after that I will!
I also took a abbo on the new kit of Scrapfever! I am so excited what's in it! It's my first kit ever, so really new to me....Will show you ofcourse ;-)

2007-01-08T02:34:00.000-08:00

I had a really busy weekend, so not much scrapping unfortunately.
Yesterday I could make the Elsie challenge #2, it's with a marriage photo of me.....beautiful picture huh?!
Saturday I had my first workshop. We had to make an Heidi Swapp mini-album about ourselves over the year 2006. I am not finished yet, but when I am I will show some pictures.
I saw the cricut machine over there....wow I am in love!!!! Really gonna save some money for it!!! So easy to cut letters with it.....

2007-01-04T03:21:00.000-08:00

As you can see I've been busy making more LO's. This one is with a picture of our wedding. I saw this paper on Ebay, and really thought it would fit with the picture. I have more black/white pictures of our wedding, hope I can scrap some more... This Lo I made for the dare on Royal Lemon forum. The challenge was to scrap your goals for 2007. Well I have a lot as you can see...;-)
The new competition on Scrapfever is also a real dare. You need to make a lo from a sketch. It is really cool to try it. So I think that will be my next LO to be made....

2007-01-02T10:17:00.000-08:00

This LO I made for a contest for Scrapfever in December. I had to wait to publish it over here, but now I can. I really love the paper!
And, ofcourse, we watched the movie this Christmas again ;-)

2007-01-02T02:31:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I made this Lo. It's showing Amy with my dad. He's feeding her her meal....

I really like the colours of the paper. It's from magnolia-series.

2006-12-31T03:02:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I made this LO of Amy. She fell asleep in the livingroom after some hours at school. Cute huh?!
It was really a challenge to make a LO with no design paper, but it worked out I think..

2006-12-29T01:31:00.000-08:00

Elsie Challenge #1

With Scrapfever we've started the 52 challenges of Elsie!

This Lo I made with some of the things I got in the December Rak from Sheila. It's so beautiful! I also used my new grommet tool of Making memories. ( right below with the flowers)

2006-12-27T01:51:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a really lovely Christmas! I did! My hubby, his brother and girlfriend and I went to a 5-star hotel in Utrecht for the weekend! Oh, I felt like a princess!
It was so luxe! I really relaxed there, but also did a lot of nice things! We laughed a lot, and we even went to a disco! ( which was ages ago for me!). Christmasdays where also really nice. We went to church ( the one we used to go to when we lived in Mijdrecht), and had lovely dinner.
I also made a lot of cute pictures of the girls during Christmas, so I can scrap-a-long!!! ;-)

2006-12-22T07:07:00.000-08:00

my first freestyle!

the problem ( I think) with freestyle that I never find it finished....But ok, maybe that's just something I will learn during the time.....

2006-12-22T00:36:00.000-08:00

Feeling rich with kids

2006-12-21T01:32:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately the '3 bugs contest-finalists' didn't include me....well, the change was so tiny.....
Today I finished this Lo with a picture of Fenna. She ate chocopops here, can you spot them? ;-)
It's almost Christmas, luckily! I have so much Christmaspapers, but so less Christmaspictures! I'm really gonna snap pictures all the time during Christmas!!! ;-)))
Well, my next project will be the Cirkel Journal of Lynn....
10 things I am, it's called......Well must think about that...

2006-12-19T02:34:00.000-08:00

What a great day yesterday! I got a new hearcut, I made a great LO and I have been sportive riding on my bike with 2 kids!!! Feeling great!

2006-12-18T00:12:00.000-08:00

I had a lot of trouble making this LO. I painted the letters 3 times!!! And still it's not what I hoped it would be....But ok, maybe it's because of the crazy pictures...lol!

2006-12-16T03:44:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm feeling a lot better today. Luckily!
Yesterday I made a LO which turned out so great! ( at least I think...;-) )
Not to busy with all kinds of things on it, just Relaxed ( as the titel says..lol)

2006-12-15T03:30:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I made this LO with 3 pictures of Fenna. What a challenge to scrap with 3 full-size pictures again! It is a Lo with lot of things, not my style at the moment, but I wanted to use some "old" paper. Otherwise it will be never used! ;-) I also made my spread for a CJ on Piens Atelier. It is a CJ called: Book Of Me'. So I have to scrap pictures from other people. A really nice challenge. I choose pictures of her fav. boots. Love 'm too!!
I'm not feeling well today, but I hope I will tonight. Andries is going away for almost the whole evening. So I really want to scrap! ( I have so many ideas I want to work on!)
Hope I will feel ok to do so!

2006-12-14T03:26:00.000-08:00

Sunday we went to the forest with the kids. What a beautiful pictures that gave!!!

2006-12-13T03:30:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I finished the CJ of Sheila. It is about choclate, hmmmm that was a nice CJ to work on!!!
She really had a beautiful self-made album, really lovely.
I used Basic Grey blush for the spread....well see for yourself!

(The picture was taken while it was already in the album, so the pageprotectors reflect the flashlight.)

2006-12-11T02:03:00.000-08:00

Today I finished my 2nd LO for the 3 bugs contest. Wow, although I know the change is soo tiny that I will be chosen. I'm so nervous already!! ;-)
But ok, let's be reasonable......it is worth trying.
I'm now thinking what te make next...I think it will be a CJ. I have 2 to make, and also some swaps, so I have a lot to work on!

2006-12-10T03:04:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had my crop at Sheila. It really was fun! And we also scrapt! ( and talked and laughed a lot ofcourse)
I made this LO for the 3 bugs contest, and started with the other one. ( which I will show you later ofcourse).
Sheila and Lynn also made a fantastic LO, so we can be really proud of ourselves...;-)

2006-12-08T03:36:00.000-08:00

Do you also have that, that the LO is finished, but you're not really happy with it?
Well, I have that with this one......
But ok, that means I have to work on another one, and not stick with this one............

I found a really cool challenge for me on the internet! Three bugs ( a brand) is looking for new DT members! Well, I haven't done anything like that before, but it's worth the try huh?
I keep dreaming on how cool it would be to be a part of it.....but ok, have to stick on the ground...lol

Well tomorrow I have my crop at Sheila, so I will work on the challenge....will show my work ofcourse!

2006-12-06T05:55:00.000-08:00

this one I made for the competition on Royal Lemon.

I also finished the LO for the competition for Scrapfever, but I can't show it right now.....

It's a secret....

2006-12-06T04:54:00.000-08:00

winnaars Monique en Marjolein!
pb jullie adres even via scrapfever naar mij. Wie welk pakketje krijgt is nog een verrassing!

2006-12-05T01:34:00.000-08:00

voor de nederlanders!!!
Hier zie je 2 budgetpakketjes die ik weg ga geven. Het enige wat je hoeft te doen is een berichtje te plaatsen op dit stukje. Morgen zal ik dan in de middag 2 berichtjes eruit pikken ( willekeurig uiteraard), en die zien dan morgen hier hun naam staan!
Veel succes! ( oh ja, 1 berichtje per persoon ;-) )

2006-12-04T02:03:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I made this LO with a picture of Fenna....cute isn't it?
I'm making a LO for a competition right now. It's on Royal Lemon.
You have to make al LO with at least one star in it and 6 colours of paint.
I'm not quite finished, but I like it already!
Show it really soon to you!

2006-12-02T10:04:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I made this LO with pictures of my sister Sarah and Fenna. They were playing a game called " a farmerhorse". Fenna loved it, as she bounced up and down my sisters seat.

2006-12-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

New stuff!!!!

Some new stuff arrived today! Wonderfull isn't it?

It's the new Basic Grey, new fancy pants and some other goodies.

Oh, can't wait to work with this beautiful paper....

2006-12-01T06:31:00.000-08:00

I won!!!!!!!!
Together with Yvon, als a great LO!!! you too congratulations girl!

http://www.scrapfever.nl/wedstrijdlayouts.htm

2006-12-01T03:30:00.000-08:00

I'm so thankful I still have a lot of grandparents. And ofcourse I needed to make a LO with at least one couple of them.
Here's al Lo with my mothers parents. They're so wonderful. My grandmother is holding Fenna, just 1 month old on the picture. Doesn't my grandmother look so adorable at Fenna....melts my heart.

The title was hard for me, I couldn't find the right one. Thankfully Sheila came with the title 'Family Ties', which is short and perfect for this LO. Thanks Sheila!

Today the result of the contest on scrapfever will be published. I'm so curious what everyone made!! When the results are online, I will publish my entry over here....

2006-11-29T07:14:00.000-08:00

don't you just love the winter?! I do! I'm an autumn/winter person. That's why I love to scrap with paper in that theme.....
As you can see I used the x-mas papers from Basic Grey. They're beautiful aren't they?!
It's Fenna on the picture, last year. Only 2 months old....time flies.....

2006-11-28T22:42:00.000-08:00

Above you see the Pringles can I scrapped. It's not really for any function, I just placed it on the shelfs as decoration. I have 2 more empty cans ( I not ate all the crisps by myself...;-) ) to scrap. Really like them.

These papers came yesterday. I ordered them because I find them so beautiful! Don't you?
They're from Bohemia, the christmas series.

I also made a LO yesterday. I haven't taken a picture yet, but I will today.

2006-11-28T00:33:00.000-08:00

Do you also have too many pictures you want to scrap? Well I have!! I know have a map on my computer with a lot of pictures I want to scrap. Here are some of them.....

lovely aren't they?

2006-11-27T02:19:00.000-08:00

I first wanted to scrap some other picture, but it didn't arrived at my home on time with the mail....hmmmm too bad. But I really wanted to scrap, so I picked this picture instead.
It's my dad with my youngest daughter Fenna. He is so in love with my girls....so this picture needed a nice LO....

I have a lot in my head to scrap this week. Don't know what I will be able to manage this week, but I hope a lot! :-)

Also tomorrow I will receive a small order with lovely papers of bohemia christmas.....I will make a picture to show you....it's soooooo lovely!

2006-11-24T04:51:00.000-08:00

Yes, it's because of the weather outside I like to scrap on vintage paper more. I now made al LO full of funny, happy colours.....but...hmmmm I like the other papers more at the moment...
I also can't wait to scrap my christmas pictures...Don't you just love those christmas papers that you can buy?! I want them all!!!!
Well my next LO will definately be more vintage.....

2006-11-23T05:00:00.000-08:00

I'm still in the mood of making nice lo's. ( at least I think ;-) )
I bought this paper not so long ago, and I wanted to use it yesterday. It was a bit pitty because I was in the vintage-mood the last time....but I really wanted to switch to this style of paper.
And I must say, it really worked out nice.

On the journaling ( written on pieces of cardstock) is written al kinds of things that have to do with me....
for example:
-mother of 2 beautiful daughters
-happily married to Andries
-fav. movie: pride & prejudice
-Christian
-scrapbooker
-have a secret wish to achieve something with scrapping
-housewife

I also received some more paper yesterday. It's from Rusty Pickle, it has the pirate-style. I'm planning to make a Lo of my cool little brothers with it...hmmmmm ideas pop into my head! :-))))

2006-11-22T05:44:00.000-08:00

Sometimes you just have it: the mood! Well I have it this whole week, and its still going on...

I have the time, the spirit and the right ideas all at once! So happy with it.

Today I finished my first canvas. It's a present for my parents to thank them for the holiday. I really know they will love it!

( in fact, I really want to keep it myself...lol).

Can't wait to make a new LO.....;-)

2006-11-21T07:42:00.000-08:00

I'm already in a Christmas mood, as you can see in this LO. It's me as a half year old girl, cute huh?!

I really liked scrapping an old picture of me, so this won't be the last one!

2006-11-20T02:38:00.000-08:00

My first spread is finished!!

Wow, that feels great! It really turned out how I wanted to. I'm so happy with it. The paper really is so beautiful! Since that paperline I'm really in love with Cosmo Cricket!
Can't wait to work with the other series that are waiting for me in the pizzabox! ;-)

2006-11-19T10:54:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had my first crop ever! And I so enjoyed it! Sheila and Lynn are really great girls! And also have lovely kids!!!
We really did scrap, although first it didn't look like it. We talked the first 1,5 hour without doing any scrapping! :-)
Sheila tought me to make my own album. pfff that's not so easy as I thought, but I know now how to do it.
I also did something to my LO 'bloempjes plukken" ( pikking flowers) and began my first spread.
I finished the LO, so here it is. The spread will be beautiful, it can't be ugly with such great paper of cosmo Cricket! Love it!!!
Really, I didn't know cropping is so much fun!

Next month we'll do it again! Can't wait!!!

Today I will work on my spread. I also am organizing my files on my computer. It was such a mess! Now I have almost everything in different maps. Really handy. ( thanks Sheila!). Hmmmm, also need to organize my scrapstuff.......well, maybe next time! ;-)

2006-11-14T22:49:00.000-08:00

Well I haven't make the other 2 LO's, but I decided to publish the other one also. I know the other LO's will be better than these two. They must be! ;-)
Yesterday I met Sheila from Scrapfever for real! So strange to meet someone who you only have "met" over the internet! She really is nice!!
Saturday will be my first crop at her place. I'm so excited about it! Lovely to scrap for a whole day, not have to worry about the kids....can't wait to go!

The Lo is with a picture of my sister Sarah. I will give this as a gift to her.... She really is my lovely sis!!!

2006-11-14T00:56:00.000-08:00

For a contest on scrapfever I have to make a LO with chipboard...Well I can't imagine a nicer challenge!!!
I choose 4 sets of pictures, and going to make 4 lo's. My friends will give their opinion which one I should enter for the contest.
I already made 2 LO's, and 1 already failed the race! ;-)
So this one I can publish on my blog already....
Although I really love it, it's not the best I'm trying to make....
You'll see the others soon...

2006-11-09T23:56:00.000-08:00

I'm almost done with the christmascards for the swap. I will place 1 other picture. ( not all of them, some have to be a surprise!)
I'm going to buy some fabric later on today. Sheila ( a dt member from scrapfever) is going to learn me how to make my own albums....great huh?!
I'm planning to make birthday-albums for the girls, and holiday album etc etc....( have to buy lots of fabric! lol)
Hope I can make some LO's this weekend!

2006-11-08T01:58:00.000-08:00

For a christmascard-swap on scrafever, I have to make some christmascards. My first time making cards! I've made 3 now, but I'm having the taste! It's lovely to make cards! ( not so lovely as scrapping pictures though).
Here's what I've made so far...

Yesterday evening I had some time to scrap, finally.

I wanted to use the Lily Kate line of Basic Grey for a long time, but couldn't find the right picture. Yesterday I found this picture of Amy in clothes that were in the same colours as the paper. Bingo!

It took a while till I found the right position for the letters. But hey, I'm scrapping for 4 months now, so it doesn't matter. :-))

I also went to the shop to get my holiday pictures and some others: 4 BAGS!! So I have a lot to scrap. Some of them are so beautiful I can't wait to make a marvellous creation of it.....my hands are itchy already!!

Oh, I miss England already! I went for a week on holiday to England, and it was great! De kids loved the fresh air, the horses ( we had a appartment above a horse-stable!) and the big garden. I loved the shops also ;-)

Unfortunately I did not get the upportunaty to scrap a lot. My kids had some trouble sleeping.....

I made 2 lo's there. Ofcourse I did not carry all my stuff with me, so I had to do it with the things I had. But I must say I'm proud how they turned out.

I took a lot of pictures. And some of them are really having a high scrap-abbility!

So if I find the time I will make some pretty LO's to share with you!!!

I had such a great idea in my head for a LO, and it really worked out fantastic! I am so proud of this one.... The picture is perfect and the lay out as well....
Really needed to share it with you all!

Each scrapper has it sometimes: The scrappersblock!

Well, now I know what it feels like!

Yesterday I started with a LO about Amy counting on her fingers. Really cute pictures that needed a LO desperately.

I choose the paper, the embellishment and started. When I had glued the paper and the pictures on the cardstock, I blocked!

I think it was the paper which I find hard of colour, don't know.

Well, what's the medicine when you have a block? Right: the Elsie-bible!

So this morning I looked in this fantastic book and I soon found some things I could do.

In fact, it's still not my most favorite LO, but it's sure better than it was!

yesterday it was my ( second)mothers birthday. We went to her today, and ofcourse I wanted to give her something scrapped.
And that's why I made this LO this morning for her.

She was really happy with it! In fact, so was I, I even thought for a moment to keep it to myself! ;-)
Well, I can see I'm growing in my work. It's getting better every time...

I finished it! My LO with the chipboard letters....
And I'm so proud of it! I'm having so many LO's in my head that I want to make.....now just finding the time...hmmmm

2006-10-11T04:32:00.000-07:00

yesterday I tried something new with chipboard. A sweety of a friend gave me the idea. It was so easy to made, and the result is so stunning, I am totally in love with it!
Look:

<-----------

Great isn't it?! And that with cheap paper napkins!

So I bought a lot of nice napkins today, and my hands are itchy to start and make so many more chipboard letters and figures!!!

Can't wait to make lovely LO's with them.....

2006-10-08T05:44:00.000-07:00

these LO's were also for
a friend. I made them today for her.

This LO I made for a friend. Love the flowers!

Yesterday I had plans for a really 'scrap-evening', unfortunately my 2 lovely daughters did not have the same plans for me. They wouldn't go to bed, so I had a long 'scrap-free' evening.
I was planning to finish my 'mini-album-swap', so I hope I can finish that one today.
I also have some pictures from really nice friends to scrap for a picture-swap. It's always a dare to do these, because everyone has their own style. But I hope they will love it!
I also ordered some new Basic Grey paper and the book '52 challenges' of Elsie. Can't wait to read it!!!
The picture you see is for a dare at the site of Royal Lemon. The challenge was to make a LO with 25 items that are the same. So I have made one with 25 buttons AND 25 flowers. It's really colorful I think. Hope the persons who are picking the winner also likes it! ;-)

With this LO ( which was also my first big one) I won a contest for a dutch forum. ( www.scrapfever.nl). I was so happy!!! My first LO ever, and a winner!

That gave me the spirit to go on. I have had some 'hobby-explosions' before ( making dolls, making jewellry etc) but none of them gave me a happy feeling. ( I think the reason of that was that I wasn't good at it! ;-) ). But scrapping gives me a sensational feeling. Gives me rest and most of al, gives me satisfaction.....

Yes, I know for sure: scrapping is my life!!!

2006-10-05T06:38:00.000-07:00

this will be my scrapsite. My site where I can place my work, where I can write down my thoughts and where I can write down everything that I want.
Yes, I think this will be my place to be.....
