MyStampBOX blogpost!

Last Friday it was my (monthly) turn to showcase my projects on the blog of MyStampBOX.

Last month I received a whole bunch of new stamp sets from Bettina and they were so cute I just had to use them straight away!!! They are so versatile, I could use them on every single layout and card I create!

With the stamp sets “Review Time” and "Mini Alpha Small Box" I created this layout about my son’s book party at school! The subject of Mats' class was the book "Pluk van de Petteflet" (Annie M.G. Schmidt). In The Netherlands every child has (or knows) this book, but I have no idea if it's translated. Mats was dressed like the "heen-en-weer wolf.

some details:

and some super cute embellishments from My Little Bit of Whimsy:

Don't you just love this birdie??? It's Dolly the dove from the book.

And just for fun I created a birthday card, using the set "Lines of Life":

 
The papers are from a DCWV paper stack my dh bought me when he was in the US last month.
 
Apart from these wonderful stamp sets I used the Helmar Adhesive Runner Bettina sent me. Helmar is one of the product partners from myStampBOX and I got to play with their adhesives for the very first time. And you know what??? I discovered it’s the best adhesive I EVER used!!
 
Thanks for stopping by and hope you'll have a wonderful Sunday!

The Scrappiest!

Every week Liz has a new sketch for us and this week is no exception!

Here's sketch #81

And here's my layout:

Papers and borders (and flowers, buttons and pins) are from my August Nook kit (again): Sassafras Indie Girl, letter stickers are from MLS, mushroom from My Little Bit of Whimsy, flowers are from BoBunny, pins are from Jenni Bowlin, spray ink is from Ranger, leaves are from Prima, journaling cards are from Heidi Swapp and Jenni Bowlin, and tickets & mask are from Tim Holz.

Photos are from Mats on his 4th birthday. Here he plays with his plastic "4", the best gift ever!

Some close-ups:

If you want to see what the rest of the team created with the sketch hop over to The Scrappiest! And don't forget, if you try the sketch yourself you can win a $25.00 gift certificate to Memorable Seasons!
(and if you wonder why my layout isn't shown on the blog, it's because Liz is moving house and probably forgot... too busy!).

This is it! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back tomorrow!
Hugs,
Monique

New layout for The Scrappiest!

Last Monday it was time for a new sketch from Liz at The Scrappiest..... this is the sketch she sent us (the design team) a few weeks ago:

And this is my layout:

For this page I used a photo of Timothy which I have wanted to scrap for a long time!

For this page I used "Material Girl" from Cosmo Cricket (don't tell him I used a girl line for his photo!), letters from My Little Shoebox, butterfly stamp from myStampBOX, a lot of glimmer mist together with a doily (from my last holiday in France) and two ladybugs from My Little bit of Whimsy.

If you try this sketch too don't forget to link it to the The Scrappiest blog and you might have a chance to win a prize from Apron Strings. 

By the way, did you know Liz at The Scrappiest is having a DT call right at this moment???? If you love her sketches just as much as I do, why not give it a go??? Check it out HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and those of you who always leave me comments THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You don't know how much I appreciate it!!

Hugs, Monique
