You Brighten Up my Day!

I haven't shown you my last Doodlebug layout yet. I made this one with my last scraps of paper, as the boxes they sent me hadn't arrived yet.

For this page I used the "Ladybug Garden" line. If you want to have a look at Doodlebug's blog, HERE is a link! 

Thanks for stopping by today and see you soon!

A long time ago ...

Even though it's October I can't stop playing with the July kit from The Sampler. Combined with my fav tools from Epiphany Crafts I created this layout:

A page about my grandmother way back in 1966 with my sis and me sitting on her lap.

The epoxy shapes are made with my Epiphany Crafts Studio Tool Round 14.

If you want to see what the other design team members create with the kits from The Sampler, have a look at their blog!

This is it, thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!

Upside Down

For a fun challenge at the Nook I created this page, using the September kit (filled with "Random" from Crate Paper) also from my Scrapbook Nook.

and a few close-ups:

The photo is of my son just acting funny on the beach!

Thanks for stopping by again and hope to see you back soon.

Newspaper Xmas card

This week the Dutch Dares' challenge is: "newspaper" or "daily paper". Inspired by  a technique I found on Pinterest I created this Christmas card:

How you do this:
A very simple, inexpensive and quick card, but I rather like the look of it! What you do is you fold the newspaper in half, cut half a Christmas tree on the folded side (through several layers of paper), place the pile of half trees on the folded side of the paper again, cut around the tree once more (bit bigger than the original tree), fold the pile of trees open, machine stitch through the middle and adhere to a piece of cardstock! Stitch around the cardstock and stamp a sentiment! That's it, a 5 minute card!

The stamp I used is from myStampBOX.

If you want to see what the other Dutch Dares dt members created, hop over to the DD blog! and if you feel inspired by all the ideas, why not play along and who knows .... you might be the winner of Petra's RAKor maybe our next guest designer.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
