.. well no, not yet please! but creating a layout about the snow was super fun!!
Last week I received a box full of Christmas goodies from PCS/Inkido and I just had to create a layout about Christmas and the snow!!!!
Here's what I made: a page about Manon and her niece Julia playing in the snow after having had brunch at their grandfather's/my stepdad =) (December 2010).
I used the new Inkido Christmas lines: "Forever Christmas" (Christmas News) and "Forever Santa" (Merry Music, Seasons Greetings, Christmas Starts and Christmas Greetings)!! Love these lines!!
Some close-ups:
Don't you just love that Christmas is approaching??? I love these last two months of the year; in November celebrating Sint Maarten, Manon's and my birthdays, the arrival of Sinterklaas and then in December December 5th, Christmas and Mats' birthday and hopefully snow and ice(skating)!!!
For more PCS/Inkido projects please visit our FB page or the Inkido blog!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

Monique

My Sailor?
Last week I received 3 kits at once from The Sampler: the September, October and November kit!! And because all three are equally fabulous I decided to start with the September kit....
Here's my "Sailor?" layout, a page about Mats (then age 4) dressed like a .... Sailor?? Beggar?? Whatever he is, he looks cute (but that's his mum talking!)
Love especially the MME stamps and the butterflies in the kit!!
If you've forgotten what the kit looks like, here it is:

3 Epiphany Crafts layouts!!!
Hi everyone! Are you enjoying your weekend as much as I am?? I just love the sunny, warm Fall weather we're having!! Planning to make some Fall pics this afternoon!!
As for scrapping .. I scrapped a lot last month but haven't been able to show you. BUT as this week 3 (!) of my layouts were shown on the Epiphany Crafts' blog I'm finally allowed to show them here too!!
First of all a Fall layout using the "round 14" shapes from Epiphany Crafts and my fabulous Doodlebug products, the Monster Mania line (don't you just love the owl???) with of course lots of stitching:
A page about our stroll in Central Park in NY two weeks ago .... wish we were still there, sigh!
Secondly a Bella Blvd (Midterm) layout also using the round 14 shapes from Epiphany Crafts:
showing Timothy with his new school books at the start of his new school term.
And last but not least a Crate Paper layout about my kids also using the round 14 shapes but also the hearts 14 shapes from Epiphany Crafts.
Love all the chipboard shapes from Crate!
This is it!! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

And then on to my next news .... one of my older Dutch Dares layouts showed in the October issue of Bella Blvd's newsletter!! Have a look HERE!! Fun right??
Thanks for stopping by my blog and hope to see you back soon!
Big hug,
Monique
