DISNEYLAND IN PARIS!!

I told you I have a new job, well..... this is my very first personnel outing!! isn't it amazing??

We had the most wonderful time!! There were Christmas trees and music all around and on top of that it had been snowing!! So everything was covered in a white blanket!! (a bit cold and wet, but very romantic!).

I'll show you more photos tomorrow, but right now I'm tired and wanna have some sleep!! So, see you back here tomorrow!

A present and GD with Twisted Sketches

Hi everyone!!!

I want to show you what arrived for me yesterday all the way from New Zealand...... we were baking cookies for the school Christmas dinner when the postman knocked on my window (we don't have a doorbell) carrying this package!! It was a box full of presents from my bloggy friend Vicki!!! and not only for me, but also something for the kids! How sweet is that?! Mats started unpacking straight away .....

and I did too....

And in close-up:

Don't you just love this??? I can't wait to start scrapping!!

Thank you so very much Vicki!!!! You're the BEST!!!

And then some scrappy news: this week I'm Guest Designer for Twisted Sketches! I made the layout a while ago, but couldn't show you any sooner. This month the twist was "frames" and here's the sketch:

Here's my take on it. I took these photos in July, when the kids were dressing up.

Thanks everyone for visiting my blog and hope to see you back soon!!

A Christmas layout!

Although it has been very busy I managed to finish my layout for Tanya's Little Shop of Sketches in time!! And because it's almost Christmas I made a Christmas layout!

I used a photo from 2007 because I found this wonderful golden Xmas tree made by Manon in 2007. If you look closely you'll notice that the Xmas tree actually spells her name! Now, how cool is that?

And do you see those journaling circles? Those are from Tanya Leigh Design. Furthermore I used the October Afternoon Xmas papers.

TFL and hope to see you soon!! (and please leave a comment!! They are highly appreciated!).

Last Sunday I attended a great workshop at Scrapbook Nederland in Voorburg: a Bo Bunny mini album "Home" by Berdien using BG Lemonade!! I can't show you mine yet as it isn't finished, but look at what Berdien made:

And this week no less then two kits arrived: my new Nook kit - the December Xmas kit!!

And a kit I ordered from Blue Moon Scrapbooking and I love it!!

I can't wait to get scrapping!!!

TFL and have a great weekend! See you soon!
