Birthday layout

For Scrappin'Kids we, the DT, had to come up with a layout about the birthday of one of our kids, using at least 4 photos of which one is black and white. I had the photos from Mats' 4th birthday printed and here's what I made:

Used "Farmers Market" papers (I love the red/white/blue colours) with the matching stickers.
If you want to see what the other DT members did have a look at the SK blog and don't forget to leave them some love!

See you soon and TFL! Monique

Sketch challenge at Scrappin'Kids!!

The new challenge for this month is up on SK's blog!! This time it's a sketch challenge created by Jessy!!

This is the sketch:

And this is my take on it:

Title is "the pacifier has to go" (but then in Dutch) and the journaling is about how Manon threw away her pacifier in exchange for the dolls buggy when she was 3 years old.

If you want to see what the other designers did with it or if you want to give it a try too, hop on over to their blog!! You have until Monday 31 August to submit your lo!!

And some other fun news: I won (!!!) the Paper Popsicles July sketch challenge with this layout:

Challenge and tutorial weekend at SK

This weekend Cookie at the Scrappin'Kids blog gave a wonderful tutorial about a mini-album which I finished around midnight last night (once I started I couldn't stop!!) even Jippie was asleep by then, LOL! Anyway, here it is:

Again I used the Lily bee papers from my Nook kit....

And then this morning I finshed my layout for Issa's challenge. The embellishments should be handmade and consisting of pp or cardstock and you had to include a memorabilia.

I used Manon's drawing about a plane crash, which turned out to be a bad dream. When she made this we were about to fly to America and no, she says she is not afraid of flying....

Used the "early bird" line from Cosmo Cricket. Painted and glimmermisted the cardstock, stitched almost everything, handcut the flowers and included Manon's boarding pass and a ticket from her favorite restaurant.

TFL!!

Tutorial Time at ScrappinKids!

This weekend Cookie is giving a tutorial on how to make a square mini-album!! I guarantee you it's fantastic!!! So head over to the forum of ScrappinKids and read all about it!!

My first assignment at ScrappinKids!!

My very first assignment as a member of the DT at ScrappinKids was to do the "lift it" challenge. I had a look through the members' galleries to find a layout to lift. This was not an easy task, let me tell you!!!! There were so many wonderful creations in the galleries! In the end this one from Yannie caught my eye: and here's my layout based on Yannie's:

Finally got to use my "Snorkel" stash from Cosmo Cricket!! I hope you'll like it and that you'll play along with us over at ScrappinKids!!! I challenge you to create a layout based on Yannie's page too, upload it at the SK forum (if you're new there, you have to register first, but don't let that stop you, it's very easy!!) and at the end of the month I'll choose my favorite and the winner will get a little RAK from me!!!! So what are you waiting for??? Get scrapping!!!

Another layout

This is the layout I created for the June challenge over at ScrappinKids.

Journaling is about the fact that the kids thought we did too much during our holiday in California! (They'd rather stayed in the pool of the hotel....) But if you see these photos they appear very happy!

and this is the sketch it's based upon:

If you want to play too....you have until the end of the month to upload your entry! and don't forget, the layout has to be kids related!
