Wat schaft de pot??

Dat is de nieuwe Dutch Dare deze week!! Dus snel op zoek naar eetfoto's!! en dat waren er een heleboel!

The new dare at the "Dutch Dares" this Wednesday is "What's for dinner?" . I chose pics of Tim eating this mega ice cream, because when he had finally finished it, he didn't want his dinner any more.... thus making this ice cream his dinner! 

Uiteindelijk zijn deze zijn het geworden:

Ik had zaterdag net de nieuwe lijn van Kaisercraft meegenomen van Yvonne (Scrapbook Nederland) en dat kwam gelijk erg goed uit!!! en ook al was ik niet in de stemming om te scrappen, vind ik m toch wel leuk geworden.

I used the new Kaisercraft line (Nan's Favourites Collection) which I really love!!

Doe je mee deze maand met deze Dutch Dare???? Marsha heeft echt een ontzettend leuke RAK ter beschikking gesteld voor iemand die met beide dares mee doet in maart!!! Ga snel kijken naar de creaties van de andere dt meiden en natuurlijk naar Marsha's RAK!

Have a look at the blog of the Dutch Dares to see the projects of the other dt members and the fabulous RAK Marsha donated!! If you want to win the RAK the only thing you have to do is finish both March dares (the next one is March 17)!!

Tot snel,

Not such an ordinary Sunday after all....

Did you read my blog post last Sunday??? About Patrick biking on the Golden Gate Bridge and us being so jealous of him??? Well, half an hour later our ordinary Sunday changed totally: while being in the middle of the bridge, Patrick had a stroke (hartinfarct) :-( and had to be admitted to hospital. He had an operation straight away and right now he's on the mend again. He's still in hospital, but the doctors said that maybe he'll be able to leave the hospital on Thursday (as long as he stays near).  As he won't be able to fly home again soon his employer offered to fly me to the States instead. So, if all goes well, I'll fly to San Francisco next Sunday or Monday! Can't wait to be with him!!

I doubted very much if I should post this, but as I also posted his photo on my blog when he went biking the Bridge I thought I should.....

Thanks for letting me share this with you.
Hugs,

Last layout for The Scrappiest

My last layout for The Scrappiest while being on their design team is about my daughter and one of her best friends on their way to a school party.

Used lots of Jillibean Soup papers (some new, some old) and journaling sprouts on this layout. The green corrugated leaves are from LYB, the flowers and (bling) butterflies from Prima and the crystals are from ZVA.

 And this is the sketch it's based upon:

If you want to see what the other designers created have a look at the Scrappiest blog!

As Ive been on Liz' team for more than a year now my time has come to say goodbye. I'll miss belonging to this team of amazing scrappers and I'll miss Liz and her sketches, but am also looking forward to new challenges and opportunities.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
