Father's Day

Hello all,

I hope you all had a good weekend? We celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary this weekend and went away for the night and visited the Amersfoort Zoo. It was the first time our girl visited a zoo and she enjoyed it so very much. It was great seeing her response to seeing an elephant and giraffe for the first time beyond seeing pictures or drawings. So much joy for her and us too :) Stay tuned for lots of pages from this experience!

Another (P)inspirational Challenge starting today and this is our inspirational photo:

 

Lovely bright colours! Again, the picture made me remember a paper in my stash that was just gathering dust, just hanging around; #Forever Young by BoBunny. Actually, I had several papers from that line still in my stash. So i started with the backing paper and pulled stuff in along the way. 

These are pictures from last year's (and my husband's first) Father's Day, as another one is due soon I thought this was the perfect time to scrap these. Yes, there is bright pink on a layout revolving around my husband, but it's quite bold and combined with lovely greens, white and black. Anyway, I prescribe to the idea that I use whatever I want whenever I want ;) I have included some ephemera in the shape of a moustache that our daughter 'made' at daycare and a business card from the place we had our Father Day's lunch. I am not planning to do this for every Father's and Mother's Day, but the first one is kind of special, right? I am thinking I can take pictures of the gifts our girl will make for the coming years and scrap them all together on a page. We shall see!

The sponsor this time around is Beccy's Place, have a look at her shop and see all the beautiful digi's available there!

(C)old and New

Good morning everyone!

Hope you are all feeling fine. We are dealing with some teeth coming through and stomach flu, but I am trying to be positive nonetheless! How about a new Pinspirational Challenge? Here is the inspiration picture:

And here is my project!

Inspiration: pink, stripes and dots, hearts

These pictures were taken on the 1st of January, when it was quite cold here. We though to take a little bike ride to the petting zoo, but our little one got really cold, even though she was wrapped up warm. Back to the warmth we went! 

Challenges:

The Paper Girls (Patterned Paper) 

Crafting When We can (Spots and Stripes) 

Hope to see your lovely creations at the new challenge!

Exhausted

Hi all,

Christmas is coming near now, hope you are all prepared? Our last challenge this year at Pinspirational has this inspirational photo:

Lots of things to choose from; the theme, the colour scheme, the stockings, lace, rosettes.......I chose to use the colour scheme and the lace in my layout this time; these are two pictures before and after my daughter's 30 mins swimming lesson. As you can tell, that half hour took a lot out of her, so tired! But it was fun :)

Join us for one last challenge in 2016, we will be back in January with new challenges, but in the mean time will take some time off to celebrate the holidays with our families. See you on the other side in 2017!

Challenges:
* Lasting Memories (AG with photos from 2016)
* Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends (AG)
* Inspiration Destination (AG)

Take a Picture, It will Last Longer!

Good morning all!

Well, that's me a year older! My birthday was on Monday and I turned 36, jeez Louise I'm getting old LOL. Ok, maybe not THAT old, but certainly on my way ;) Anyway, we had a lovely evening. Hubs wanted to take me out to dinner and a movie, but it being Monday lots of places were shut. We ended up at Micky D's, which was fine with me! We then saw World War Z, which I liked a lot, even though I am really not into scary movies. One reviewer said this is a zombie film for those of us that don't usually like zombie films and I think he hit the nail on the head there; not too scary but still startling and something disturbing (mostly off camera though). Never understood where all the zombies came from, but I guess that really wasn't such a big plot point here.

Anyway, from zombies to crafting, not a small step. Although, after a long crafting session, I might sometimes look like one ;) As it is Thursday, a new Delightful Challenge is starting up, themed "Celebrate with Glitter & Sparkle". I took a short cut for this one, cause even though I had the image coloured and ready to go for ages, I hadn't gotten round to making the card and with the deadline fast approaching and me being so tired I could barely keep my eyes open, I opted for using Glitter CS as a base for my glitter element and combined it with several pieces of scrap DP I have left over from previous projects. I used the Say Cheese Polly, which I think it such a lovely image.I bet it works great with scrapbooking pages too, haven't tried that yet but certainly will!

Materials
* Digital Delights Say Cheese Polly & Summer of Smiles Sentiment, coloured with Promarkers & Spectrum Noirs
* Kraft Card Blank
* DCWV The Glitter Stack Brights CS
* Basic Grey Olivia & Prima Jack 'n Jill DP scraps
* EK Success Binding Edge border punch

We are sponsored this week by

The winner will get three sets from their store

Hope you can join us!

* 2 Sisters (Make it Sparkle)
* Creative Corner (Anything Goes)

Blingy Buttons

Good morning everyone!

Did you all have a nice weekend? We certainly did, we spent a couple of days in Zeeland, one of the Dutch coast provinces. We had beautiful sunny weather, but there was quite a lot of wind so it was still a bit nippy on occasion. It was wonderful though to get away for a few days :)

But now it's Monday again and there's plenty of fun things today was well, among which is a new challenge over @ Ooh La La, themed "Buttons & Bling". I managed to finish this card by the skin of my teeth, I was working on it yesterday evening when we came back! A case of bad planning on my part I'm afraid, but I managed to finish before my eyes fell shut somehow :) Such a beautiful flowers image, the CD Fleur D'Imagination is packed with them!

You are Appreciated

Hi all!

It's Thursday again, only a couple more days and it's the weekend again! I have to admit I am looking forward to it, it has been so crazy busy and I have been suffering a little bit from the jet lag earlier in the week. I'm looking forward to a nice long lie-in :) Going to see Eddie Izzard on Monday didn't help things either, as we were home by 1 and I had to get up again at 6. He was really funny though, as was his warm-up act :)

Thursday means a Delightful Challenge, themed "I APPRECIATE YOU" this time. I made a lovely Mother's Day card. I used my new circle cutter here; it was just such a doddle to make the perfect circle. Expect a lot more circles on my future projects ;)

Easel Does It

Good morning all!

It's time for another challenge over @ Ooh La La, asking for your "Easel Cards". I love easel cards, although I've had to tell several people that I sent them to how they work as I've seen them displayed upside down or sideways LOL

I've used an image from the Ooh La La's Fleur D'Imagination CD called Pink Blossom. As usual, the CD has several toppers & decoupage using this image with lovely matching DPs, so I really didn't need to use any other paper this time around.

Materials:
* Ooh La La Pink Blossom image & DPs from the Fleur D'Imagination CD
* Petaloo Celebrations 3D Butterfly
* Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
* Buttons from stash

We'd love to see your work at the challenge blog, please share your easel projects with us!

Easter's on its Way

Hi everyone,

Another post from me today, as PCD is also starting their new challenge today. We want to see your projects that tie in with the theme of " Easter on its Way". I decided to make a little gift bag that I can fill with some lovely chocolate eggs later as a cute Easter gift. I don't know if the content will last long though......chocolate's never safe when I'm around ;) I used a hand-written sentiment, as I quickly realised I don't actually own any stamps relating to Easter and I didn't have enough time to print those out that came with the digi set. I decided I like the homey feel of it though, so I am leaving it this way :)

Materials:
* Kraft Sandwich Bag
* PCD Easter Egg set
* DCWV Mango Frost DPs
* Memories Direct Flowers & brad
* Distress Tool & Tumbles Glass and Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
* Sakura Gel Glitter pen
* Ribbon, twine, button and pearls from stash

Thankful for You

Good morning everyone,

I am really quite late with my PCD DT card today, as our new challenge started this morning already. I had major problems making this card, I had a great idea in my mind but that never came to fruition unfortunately. The whole card really came into being because of an accident. I was going to print off the lovely Ulysses Butterfly as a whole, but my computer managed to print it too huge to fit on the page twice in a row. At first I wanted to throw the print away and start a third time, but then I thought it might also work with part of the butterfly. And actually, after cutting away all the panels in the butterfly and backing it with glitter paper, I was really quite happy with that element. Problem was, how to proceed and make a complete card out of it. To my mind, it never really came together. You be the judge:

Oh, almost forgot, our theme this week is "Be Thankful", me being thankful that I managed to squeeze out this card after all, even if it is a little late ;)

Materials:
* Create & Crafts CS
* PCD Ulysses Butterfly
* Petaloo Glitter Sheets
* Prima Sparkling Spring DP
* Vintage Page Accents
* Eline Vintage Sentiment stamp
* Ribbons, chipboard, flowers, gems & pearls from stash

Challenges:
* Art Impressions (Pink)
* Charisma Cardz (Badda Bing; Bling/Shiny)

Alice in Pearls and Lace

Good morning my fellow crafters!

Did you have a good weekend? I had a lovely relaxing one, first time this year we had candles on in the evening for me is always a sign that summer is well and truly over and we're heading into autumn. Not long now until we need to crank up the heating again!

Today we are starting another challenge @ PCD, we are challenging you to make a crafty project using pearls and lace. I love pearls and use them a lot of my cards, so that wasn't really difficult to incorporate, but the lace was a different story altogether. I had a card made, but then noticed a blob of glue, attempted to wipe it away and took the DP design with it......I hate that. So this is my second attempt, let's see if your makes come together a little more easily :)

Materials:
*Create & Craft CS
* PCD Alice, coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs
* Art Talent & Docraft Country Companions For Someone Special DPs

* Prima Violet Daisy Doodles Flower
* Eline Vintage sentiment stamp
* Pearls from my stash

New Kid on the Block

Hello everyone!

I don't know what they're putting in the water, but we received another baby card this week, again for a girl! Who they will be dating in 15 years time I have no idea, even at work all my pregnant colleagues seem to deliver is girls!

Still, I really shouldn't be complaining, cause what is nicer than to make a girly card, right? I had picked out a lovely design with flowers, cut everything out, started sewing buttons and just when I wanted to glue the whole thing together.........................................black smudge on the front of the card. I have absolutely NO idea where all this black stuff is coming from, what it is even, but it seems to jump on my hands whenever I want to craft. Anyway, save to say, the card was ruined, as I tried to get the smudge off with a wet cloth and proceeded to take half the colours of the base design along with it.......

Never mind, just had to come up with another idea and since the baby card had a big pink butterfly on the front, I decided to go with that theme and this is what I ended up with:

I'm still pretty pleased with the end result, even though it wasn't my original plan, combining the elements that could be saved with some other stash.

Materials:
* Create & Craft card stock (personally delivered by my FIL when they were visiting this week)
* Studio Light and stash DP
* Studio Light alphabet letters
* Karen Foster Baby Words rub-ons
* DCWV Glitter card (oh, how lovely is this stuff, no glitter falling off but fantastic sparkle)
* Wooden butterflies, gems and pearls from stash
* Rounded corner & Scalloped circle punch
* Eline Vintage sentiment stamp

Challenges:
* Moving Along with the Times (Make it Sentimental)
* Dutch Dare (For a Child)
* Sarah Hurley (Dimension & Texture - Wooden Butterflies)
* Shelly's Images (What the Text)
* Southern Girls (Pearls)
* Always Something Creative (Butterflies)
* Card & Scrap (Wings)
* Paper Pretties (Celebrate, Any Occasion Card)
* Whimsy Stamps (Anything Goes)
* Fashionista Challenge (Winged Things)

New Arrival

Hi everyone,

We had a lovely anniversary trip last weekend, my hubs took me to Dublin, one of my favourite cities! We had a great couple of days there, walking around soaking up the atmosphere and sitting in pubs drinking Smithwicks & Guinness. We also had tickets to see Bill Bailey, who was absolutely hilarious, I would definitely recommend the show! I will hopefully do some scrapping of the trip in the coming weeks, I will try and share with you :)

When we came back, I got a call from my friend, telling me she gave birth to a little baby girl that night. That's girl number two for them, so a real woman's household! Of course I went ahead and made her a card, here it is:

I am not too happy about it, it seems I am not liking my creations very much at the moment, but as my husband assured me he thought it was lovely and beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all, I decided to post and send anyway. Let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it very much.
