Nieuwe Dutch Dare

Het is weer tijd voor een nieuwe "dare" op het blog van de Dutch Dares! Dit keer is de "dare" iets te scrappen met de kleuren rood/wit/blauw. Hoeft niet per sé een layout te zijn, een kaart, een albumpje (of kaft ervan), een deurhanger ofzo mag ook.

Yesterday it was time for the new dare at the "Dutch Dares" challenge blog. The dare this time is: create a layout or a card or... whatever using the colors red/white/blue. Here's my take:

Hier is mijn layout:

Het grote rode hart staat midden op "Union Square" in San Francisco. Is het niet gaaf??? Als je goed kijkt zie je mijn man en alle 3 de kinderen, aan elke zijde eentje.

I took this pic during our holiday in the US in 2009. You'll find this big red heart in Union Square in San Francisco. Isn't it amazing??

En natuurlijk heb ik weer mijn tools van Epiphany Crafts gebruikt. Dit keer om knopen te maken. Het papier was er echt perfect voor.

And of course I used my very favorite tools from Epiphany Crafts to create the matching buttons!

Dit was 'm. Als je wilt zien wat de andere meiden gemaakt hebben, kijk dan even op het blog van de Dutch Dares. Enne .... als je tijd hebt, dan je dan met ons mee???? Zou ik onwijs leuk vinden!!!

If you want to see what the other girls created then have a look at the Dutch Dares' blog! and if you want to play along then please do, even if you're not Dutch!!!! We would love that!!

Groetjes en nog een hele fijne dag toegewenst!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and wishing you a wonderful day!

Hugs,

A layout and a winner!!

I  owe you another layout I made with the Crop Addict February Kit and Kit Option. This one is about my dd who is in her 2nd year of secondary school. When she finished primary school her teacher there advised her to attend a secondary school which was significantly lower than she's doing right now, also lower than her friends were going to do (which was at the time very important to her, duh!). She was very disappointed and therefore very determined to show them all that she could do better! And so she does!!! We're so very proud of her!!

And of course I used my tools from Epiphany Crafts!!

Papers: a combination of Basic Grey and Bella Blvd, which go together very well!

And now on to the WINNER of The Scrappiest Blog Hop!!!

Post number 12: Catherine Oakley who said: "This is a wonderful interpretation of the sketch."

Congrats Catherine! Please email me your details and I'll send you your prize!!

Good night for now and hope to see you back soon!
Hugs,

Almost just as good!

How I wanted to go to the winter CHA this year, but alas.... I couldn't make it happen.

But have a look here!! I didn't make it, but my projects did!!

This is the Epiphany Crafts booth and Tricia made some pics of my projects hanging in her booth!!!

The layout on the left is mine:

The bottom one is mine:



I'm so happy!!! This is almost just as good!

A few layouts made with my Crop Addict February Kit!

The last few days I've been very busy scrapping and I loved every minute of it! You know why? Because the February Kit from Crop Addict is as gorgeous as ever; filled with lots of Bella Blvd, which I absolutely LOVE!!!

Here are the first layouts  I made:

Jump For Joy:

My son having fun on the trampoline!

30 December:

.

A layout about my youngest on the day he turned 6! And when you're six you act goofy as soon as someone wants to take your pic!! LOL!

Aged to Perfection:

A layout about my dad and his wife ... who isn't my mom, but who's very sweet! She's the one who made the green and blue flowers. Aren't those cute? The rest is all from the February kit.

All of these layouts are made with the Crop Addict February 2011 Monthly Scrapbooking Kit and the February 2011 Kit Option!

This is it for now. I'm off to scrap some more!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Hugs,

You hold the Key to my Heart!

Yesterday another one of my layouts was up on the Sampler's blog (The Crop Spot). It's called "You hold the Key to my Heart" and is about my dd and me.

I find I love to create layouts with all different kinds and colors of papers. Normally I scrap with one certain line from one manufacturer, but this kit forces me to let that go and scrap with what I have at hand .... and it works quite well for me. I love to use all these different colors on 1 layout!

A close-up of the heart and the flower centre, which are both made with my tools from Epiphany Crafts  (LOVE those, but hey you know that, LOL).

The title is hand cut from some cardstock scraps I had left and with the press-on from Pink Paislee they look actually quite nice, I think.

The day I finished this layout my dd came home all upset because she had been bullied by a girl from school (who had hit and kicked her and knocked her off her bike). When something like that happens to your little girl you realize all the more how much you love your kids! You don't want to know what I wanted to do to this other girl! but I didn't, I was good and contacted the school and let them deal with it (which they are doing very well, luckily!).

Ok, I got sidetracked.... back to The Sampler! This layout was also made with the January Kit. If you want to see what the other designers made with their kit, why not have a look at The Sampler's blog "The Crop Spot"?

This is it for now!
Thanks for stopping by and a BIG hug from me!
