En dit zijn de schetsen en mijn layouts die ik had ingestuurd voor de DT Call:
Tot ziens op de site van LSOS en doen jullie een keer mee met een sketch challenge??? Ja toch!
See you soon on the LSOS' blog and hope you'll play along sometime with one of the fabulous sketches!!
I'm turning into a real "blog hopper"; I love to read blogs of other scrappers and admire their work and I love to participate in all kinds of challenges! This way I found the "Black Magic" sketch blog. Here you have the chance to create and submit layouts with black as the predominant color. Each fortnight the Creative Team will provide a new sketch. You will be required to have your layouts showcase predominantly black and then use a combination of our monthly palette of colours. The first challenge for this year was: besides black, use pink, turkoise and white and some rub-ons. So, Tuesday evening, when Conny came over to scrap I decided to give it a go and this is what I made of it! Hope you'll like it.
When I visited the blog "Journaling Junkie" and read their latest challenge I just knew I had to participate. The challenge was to create a layout either about your celebration of New Year's, or your resolutions or a review of 2008 and as you can see I chose the latter. So many times I wanted to create such a layout, but it just never happened.....and now it has!
Journaling reads:

And this morning my prize from Little shop of Sketches arrived, all the way from New Zealand!! Thanks Tanya, I love it (used part of it straight away on the layout above)!!
Sorry for the bad quality of the last one; it was getting dark so early! but as I don't have many photos with all 3 kids I wanted to show you anyway...
And our little Mats enjoyed himself very much too!
Manon and Louise were too impatient to wait for their photo to be taken...... maybe tomorrow?

Did I mention what my resolutions are for 2009? No, I don't think so. I'm not normally one to make New Year's resolutions, but on 31st of December at 11.15 p.m., when everyone was busy, but me, I looked at the clock and found myself thinking about the comming year and what it might bring..... I started to wonder what my resolutions would be if I were to make them (I'm not making myself very clear, am I?).
And I came up with these goals and resolutions (I better write them down otherwise I'll never stick to them, LOL!):
I just mentioned that I applied for another design team. This time I sent 2 layouts to "So Sketchy!". Ally has some wonderful sketches on her site and I would be thrilled to become a member of the team....
These are the layouts I submitted:
