Reveal day

Sunday again.. reveal day ! This week I found the sketch really hard.. struggled for the first time ! But it turned out ok !

This is the sketch this week..



And here is what I made of it



Did you hear already that Kristine is almost ready with a great ebook full with sketches... so excited.. a lot of inspiration for all us scrapbookers.. so stay tuned.. here is a sneak peek.

Project Life week 2

To be honest.. I am really far behind on my project life.. I started already in december.. and just recently made week 3... oops.. But I love it and don't want to give my any pressure. it should be fun.. and it is fun ! Never thought a project like this could give me so much fun and I would take that many photo's of our daily life. Alway said nothing much is happening in our lives but it appears that there is a lot goin'on in my life !

Everything of Fabian is documented and I even keep the silliest things about him. That really is sooo nice. So I will keep going althought I don't know if I will post bravely every week about project life. I want to try to write more on my blog.. more about my life and not just post what I made this time. That is nicer to read for everyone and for myself. More attractive. I loved to write letters.. and they always turned out really long.. so why not tell more about life on my blog.

Now first to the second week of my Project Life. The piccie will be the wrong way around. Don't ask me why it isn't the normal way up, but it seems blogspot doesn't want to place it that way. It is the right way on my computer, so really silly.



This was a pretty boring week.. :)) Did not do very much.. and I really failed to make a lot of colour in it. Really want to change that. Really love the picture of the teabag. I am a very big teafan.. have a lot of flavours and when I saw this, I just knew it was perfect for the project. Than you see my lappie on the couch.. the place where I like to hang out and do some surfing on the net. My hubby cooking dinner every evening. I really want to see if I can change with futher weeks and put something on the photo's too. Make it more mine. Have to get use to it still.



Here is the other side of this week. Fabian sent out his invation for his birthday party. Since he is a very big Cars fan.. he really wanted these. I was glad to get one too and saved it for the project. He was so excited to spread them It was his first one with friends from school.
One that could not fail in here.. is our little rabbit called Hobbel. He is already 9 years old, and that is a huge age for a little rabbit. So he should be in.
Than you also see abit about our christmas deco.. How Fabian helped me. It is hard to read when you are not dutch because journaling in also in Dutch.

I really hope you like my project life. It is real fun. Wanted to score some Becky Higgins products yesterday. But the prices turned out to be so incredable high that I won't do it. It is a real pitty, but the shipping and TAX are out of proportions, so have to find another way to get my hands on it. Grrr.. it not nice because I really want them. Well let see what there will come on my way.
Be back soon with week 3.

Project Life

I am really busy catching up with my project life.. I really like it and take photos like crazy. Week three is finished now.. but I started at the beginning of december already.. so have a lot of cacthing up to do. No worry.. will catch up.. and will not put any pressure on me.
Still have to make a photo of what I made of week 2 and 3 .. but the weather was dark overhere.. so the pictures where nothing. So this week they promised us some nice sunny and cold weather.. so will show it this week !

The only problem I have, is printing out the journaling cards on the right size. I really struggle with them.. but I think I found away ! Would be time.. because I collected many free printables online.. but could not print them. Now the printer at home is not going.. so... printables are not on my good side yet. But that will come. My hubby already said.. if he ( the printer) is not going to work.. we will buy a new one !! So.. the struggle does not continue much longer I hope !

Hopefully the Becky Higgins products will arrive soon at Amazon.co.uk because I really want them. They are soooo yummy.. so maybe I go slow because I am waiting for these :))

Now that I am doing this I noticed that my life is not as boring as I thought. Well not boring.. but I was afraid I won't have enought to put in the project life. But that isn't the case at all. Yesterday my man went to the swimmingpool and hubby saved the ticket of the pool !!! It is for your project he said ! How good it that ! He is thinking about it too. Really like that.

Also see nice ideas with other people I would love in mine project too.. so collecting more and more ideas. Just love it.

This morning we got up.. and we had some snow the first time this winter ! How lovely is that. We waited for this. It is turning cold finally also. We had a lot of rain overhere and that really is soooo boring. You cannot go outside than, I really hate to get wet !
Took a piccies of my son in the snow this morning. He really loves snow. Cutiepie !



Now I am at work.. it is not so busy.. so I had the time to blog. Not happens often.. soo.. now I am off.. to do some work again. Will be back this week to show how I did my PL the last two weeks !

Creative Scrappers #192

Today is another reveal.. it is not long for me anymore :(( I really like doing this.. and it is sooo well arranged. The sketches are so great ! There is another CT call for the next term.. so if you are thinking about it.. just do it ! It is really nice to be part of !! My term ends on March 1st :(

Here is this weeks sketch :



Love it with so much paper.. and thingies ! Just lovely !
Here is what I made of it...



Please join us all with the sketch.. you can always have a change of winning !!

Project Life

Overhere in the Netherlands Project Life has taken a growth like you cannot imagine. It is so nice to see all the ladies here inspiring each other and keep eachother going.
It is now a group of 125 ( I believe) who are together doing this. There are probably more.. but they are not all in this group.. or don't know from the group. I really like being there. Seing what other make.. sharing ideas... just lovely.

Just now I finally made my week one. I already started on November 30. 2011.... I got my little photoprinter and can print when ever I want.. and that is just so lovely ! Like that a lot !

First I want to show you all the front of my album ... I was inspired by Janna Werner.



Still have to paint the inside of the album.. but that will come at a later time. Not that important right now :)

The first page is about us.. as a family.. with parents also in it because they really play a big part in our life.




And than the first week. I am still not completely happy... but that will be on the way. I have some great Ali journaling cards.. but cannot seem to get them on the right size to print them out for my album. I keep trying.. and it will be ok one day.. just don't know when. I get frustrated because I really want them in my PL.. maybe I need to get some help from friends or so..









I put some drawing from Fabian in.. that is so nice to have for later. Finally a good place to save them. Will not put everyting in he makes.. that really will be to much. But every now and than will be good.
So this was my first week.. more will follow soon !!!!

New reveal !

Today is a new reveal at Creative Scrappers. I just love being in that team. So many talented girls and such great sketches everytime again !! I just loooove it ! This one was very nice also. I made something different this time. Just couldn't help myself. Here is the sketch :



This is my take :



These photo's were made in Fall with the little family.. also together with my parents. I just love these photo's and soon you will see some piccies that were taken that day.

First Mixed Media Canvas

I saw awesome stuff online from Chrissy Tomlinson.. just sooo nice.. and she had a tutuorial.. and I just had to try it. So after work I went to buy some stuff.. and my mum also had some stuff that I could use.
Since my colleaugue has become a dad again I thought it would be nice to make him and his wife something for the little girl.
So I started.. and I love the result !! I will try this more often for sure. It is such fun to do !!
I also saw it with Felicitas and Janna.. two very talented ladies from Germany.. sometimes you just have to do it.



The photo really is not briljant but with all the rain we have over here these days I don't think I will get a better one.

Today it is really stormy all day. The wind is going like crazy and every now and than the rain comes down real hard. NO fun at all. Glad that I don't have to leave the house today. So.. did some stuff for my project life.. like pimping my album. Not finished yet.. so be patient. Have to order the photo's also and adjust some page protectors but cannot get our sewingmachine to work. so I have to ask my hubby. Really not handy with that. So as soon as I can make a normal nice picture of it all I will do !
