Kaart - EKEF uitdaging #157 & Basic Grey challenges 88

Bij Elke Kaart een Feestje ook deze week weer een hele leuke uitdaging. De opdracht is om de sketch te gebruiken, met als optie het thema "shoppen".

At the Basic Grey Challenges blog it´s this time ANYTHING GOES.
I created the card with patterned paper from the "Sugared" collection.

 

Voor de kaart heb ik het dessinpapier van Basic Grey gebruikt. De rand is uit cardstock geponst en het label komt uit een vel Tilda papier. Door de geponste rand een lintje geregen en hetzelfde lint ook in de kartonnen knoop gestrikt. Het tasje is een epoxy embellishment uit oude voorraad. De rand van de kaart, label en stukje cardboard zijn aangezet met distress inkt.

Gebruikte materialen: Dessinpapier: Basic Grey - Sugared, Tilda - Wintergarden | Cardstock: ColorCore | Cardboard: Joycrafts | Button: Graphic45 | Flower, resistant canvas: Prima | Distress inkt: Ranger - Brushed Corduroy | Spray inkt: Tattered Angels - Candy Apple Red | Epoxy sticker: Rob en Bob Studio | Overig: lint, bling, knoop, ticket.

Dank voor je bezoekje en ik vind het leuk als je een reactie achterlaat.

Time for an update .....

It's been a while since I updated my blog. Didn't scrap for months but this is a layout which I created for a challenge at the Hobby Farm blog.

A layout about a very joyful time we had last year when the kiddos of my brother were in Holland.

Wow - I catched my 1st fish (Wow - mijn 1e vis zelf gevangen)

The journaling says:
Matt was so happy. Only to get the fish of the hook was a bit scary. Jarno and Eline helped you with this. July '11.

For this layout I used paper, alpha- and element stickers from Basic Grey, flowers, bling and letterstickers are from Prima.

Hope to post some more the next days.

Hobby Farm and BG#29

At the Hobby Farm blog you will find new sketches for the April challenge. Evelien asked me to design a card sketch. Here's my work on both sketches.

If you like challenges please feel free to join this one and create something nice based on one (or both) of the sketches. Please take a look and see what the other girls did. Karen Taylor is the Guest Designer for this month.

Materials I used for this layout and card:

Patterned papers - Basic Grey "Gypsy".

Buttons, brads, letterstickers - Basic Grey "Sultry".

Cardstock - ColorCore.
Thickers - American Crafts.

Flowers, ribbon - Prima.

Other - chalk, fineliner, staples, Dymo, waxcord and bling.

Basic Grey Challenges has a nice one up this week. Create a Spring/Easter themed project. I did a lot of layouts the last couple of weeks so cards are fun to do for a change. And with a lot of birthdays and anniversary's ahead it's good to have some on hand. For this card I used the beautiful Porcelain papers.

Thanks for visiting my blog and Happy Easter to you all.

Goodbye Page Plans, BG#28 and teatime

I'm very sorry to announce that this weeks reveal will be the last one for Page Plans. Both Lesli and Chris are not able to continue the Page Plans blog due to increased demands from both of their professional and personal lives. I must say I had a wonderful time here and loved the sketches to work with. Thanks so much for the support and I want to wish you all the best and take care!

My take on the last one is a layout about Jeffrey and our little nephew Matt.

#50 - Friends

Followed another sketch this week which was at the Basic Grey Challenge blog. Again I used leftovers from the SAL weekend and after finishing the first one I decided to do another one. Here I turned the sketch.

How could I forget to mention in my last post that I had tea with Elly. Monday a week ago I had the chance to look at all the beautiful spots in her house. We had a lot to talk about and before I knew it was time to go home. The fun thing is that we met through blogging and seeing eachother at markets. Next time at my place?

Only one day till the weekend is here and tomorrow our youngest is coming back from his school exchange in Germany. Last Monday he, 12 other students and 2 teachers took the train to have a great week. Everyone stays in a host family and end of May the boy of his family in Germany comes here to stay at our home.

Have fun and take care!

Scrap-A-Licious, Page Plans, BG#27 and tagged

Oeps! Almost two weeks since my last blog post. But there's a lot to tell .....

Last Saturday it was all about scrapbooking at the Scrap-A-Licious event organized by Corinne Delis. I drove off at 06.30, picked up Mandy and we arrived in Veghel at 8.45. The whole day was filled with 4 workshops, which means a lot of inspiration, new stuff and techniques (loved the spray ink) but above all a lot of fun and meeting blogfriends IRL.

The first workshop was given by Martha Bonneau. She's a very talented lady who loves fabric and the combination with the printed flowers we had to bring with us turned out really nice. We learned the French knot and created our own easy handmade fabric flower embellishment. At home I finished the layout with a bit of sewing.

Dina Wakley got us hooked on spray ink. WOW! Here workshop was all about texture! Creating a 12x12" technique layout, using spray ink, Magic Mesh, hand stitching, stamping and thickers with an amazing result.

The teacher of workshop nr. 3 was Jo-Anne te Raa. She let us create a home decor project. A metal ring covered with lots of Cosmo Cricket fabric, Jenni Bowlin stuff and the result was lovely ...

The final workshop was done by Revlie Schuit, a cute felt mini album with transparencies, Making Memories papers, ribbons, buttons and journaling stamps. We learned the blanket stitch to cover the felt edges.
During the day lots of free moments for coffee, shopping, lunch and diner and last but not least the lotery and crop in the evening. I was lucky to win a few prices and driving back home I could only SIGH and think what a WONDERFUL DAY it was.

Sunday means another week of Page Plans sketches. I used a picture of our tame ducks dashing through the snowdrops. They are such a cute couple. Next week will be my last layout for Page Plans so my 2nd period ends with nr. 50.

Thanks for peeking and hope the weather will be good this weekend.
