Sick...

... I'm lying in bed with a terrible urinary infection... but hey, thank god there's internet!

I finished my projects for the new Scrap! magazine last weekend and I'm very statisfied with the results... :) But unfortunately you have to wait till june 2nd... :)

So there's nothing to show you right now, that's why I thought I'd pick up a 'goldie oldie' from my stash...

This beautiful little minibook was also published in the first Scrap! magazine, but It didn't come out so good... that's why I wanted to show it again.

Text and photo's are printed on vellum! I used a beautiful poem by J.P. Rawie, a dutch poet.

Deck of me & sneak peak mini-album

Here's my 7th card of my Deck of Me. I'm a little bit behind, but I will catch up later. This time I had to say what I miss... well that's an easy one for me: my dad died almost 3 years ago and I miss him every day... sorry for the blurry pics.

I've made a minibook about our visit to the ZOO at January 1st. I can't show all yet, but here's a sneak peak. I used the stamps of the Get Inspired Kit. Absolutely love them!!!

Sneak Peak Dutch Dare #9

Wednesday the new Dare will be posted at the Dutch Dare Blog. Here's a sneak peak of the project I made:

Ode to my family

Daniëlle gave us a cute little chipboard book that we had to alter. I made mine with one sheet of Basic Grey (SALE at Memory Lane Scrapbooking) and one sheet of Hannah by K&Company.

I used old photo's of my father and his family.

Collages and Deck of Me

Yesterday I had a scrapdate with Wendy. I made two canvas collages, inspired by the wonderfull Claudine Hellmuth. I'm very pleased with the results (especially with the collage about Julian). I used canvas, masking tape, mod podge, acryllic paint, stazon, stamps, rub-ons, patterned paper, stickles, permapaque markers and a black fineliner.

I also made 2 cards for the Deck of Me challenge by Emily Falconbridge. Really love this little challenges! I used cardstock, patterned paper, stazon, stamps, Hambly overlay, quickuts alphabet Moxie and die set shoes...

Dutch Dare #8

The latest dare is online now. You can see it over HERE. We had to make a mini project, so I made a little 'photo-holder' with two pieces of cardboard, cardstock, distress ink (Ranger), stamps, quickutz heart, Heidi Swapp ghost flower, button, rub-ons (Hambly and Basic Grey), stickers, stickles and UTEE... the size of the holder is 9x9 cm (3.5 x 3.5 inch).

Superman & sneak Dare #8

For the first time in many weeks I scrapped something for 'myself', so not for a Challenge or an assignment... Finally could use the Kazoo Kids Paper Pad. It was perfect for this Superman photo...

This wednesday is Dutch Dare Day... so check out the DD blog! Here's a little sneak peak of my project... sorry, the picture is a bit blurry, but hey, that's sneaky isn't it? ;)

Banner...

Ok, I changed my banner and I'm very proud of myself... :) Love this picture of Julian and me...

Well, I'm off to bed now... I'm a little bit sick and hope that some sleep will make me better... :S

Happy Birthday...

... to my sweet friend Dita! Hope you'll have a nice day today!

Yinte

Congratulations to Judith and Frits with their adorable daughter Yinte!!!

Painting

Did some scrapping today. I made a 'painting' using a technique out of the book by Claudine Hellmuth (Collage Discovery Workshop).

I used MDF, acrylic paint, vaseline, acrylic medium,stazon, Autumn Leaves stamps, stickers, chipboard shapes (K&Company), ribbon and buttons.

Two Mini Albums

Afgelopen zondag had ik een vrouwendag met alle vrouwen van Otto's familie. Boukje en ik hebben een workshop Paperbag Album gegeven en het was een groot succes!

Hier is het voorbeeld dat ik heb gemaakt:

Voor het afscheid van mijn stagiaire heb ik een klein boekje gemaakt, waarin alle leerlingen een boodschap/tekening konden maken. Ik heb gebruik gemaakt van een stempel en Paint Dabbers... geweldige uitvinding! MLS verkoopt ze ook!

Sneak Peak Dare #7

Tomorrow, the new Dutch Dare will be posted on our blog... so stay tuned!!!

Here's a little sneak of my layout:

Happy Birthday...

Dutch Dare # 6

Jawel, het is weer woensdag en dat betekent dat er weer een nieuwe dare is gepost.



Ik vond het dit keer best een moeilijke uitdaging en heb zelfs 2 layouts gemaakt. Deze is het uiteindelijk niet geworden:

Klik HIER om te zien welke layout het wel is geworden!

-------------------------------------------------

Okay, it's wednesday again, so that means that the new Dutch Dare is online!

This time, I had some difficulties with the theme, so I made two layouts! The layout above didn't make it in the end. Click HERE to see which one made it to the blog! TFL

Geboortekaartje en Art Journal

Een kennis van me is 7 januari (net niet op mijn verjaardag) bevallen van een dochter: Jildou. Ik heb voor haar een kaartje gemaakt:

Daarnaast ben ik begonnen aan een nieuwe challenge, opgestart door Emily Falconbridge. Hierbij maak je een deck of you van een kaartspel met 52 kaarten. Elke kaart staat voor één week, dus in totaal duurt de challenge een jaar. De eerste twee challenges zijn al op Emily's blog geplaatst, dus haast je en doe mee! Het zijn maar kleine projectjes, dus prima te doen elke week! Ik heb gisteravond een vilten zakje in elkaar genaaid en ik vind het resultaat errug gaaf!

En hieronder de eerste twee kaartjes voor in mijn zakje:
