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.

May challenge

For the challenge of last month at the Hobby Farm blog I created a layout about moving to our new home.

Thanks for visiting and have a good week.

February Sketch

For the challenge at the HobbyFarm blog I created a layout with a picture of our wedding day on 19-9-1991 and one taken in September 2011. It was our 20th anniversary, not a happy one but filled with sadness because DH was fighting cancer at that time and on our special day his operation was scheduled.

On this layout I used an old silhouette sheet of K&Company as a mask.

For this layout I used the following items:
Graphic45 - Le Romantique (papers).
Basic Grey - Sultry (paper), clearstamps journal.
K&Company - Silhouette sheet.
Prima - Blooming Retro (paper), Leaves, Flowers #537456, #552473, Chipboard #551254.
Tattered Angels - Glimmer Mist Latte, Meadow Green.
Ranger - Distress Ink (Scattered Straw, Brushed Corduroy), button.
Maya Road - Flower Pin.
Other - Staples, Waxcord, Ribbon, Fiskars Border Punch.

Now, six months later, DH is doing fine. So happy that this emotional and stressful period is behind us.

I want to thank Nathalie for the award she gave me.

Thanks for visiting my blog hope to see you again.

Time for a challenge

At the Hobby Farm blog you will find the sketch for the January challenge.

Here's my take on the sketch.
The story about this layout is that my brother and his family were in Holland last summer. Eline likes to tinker and here she's working on a figure with ironing beads. It was great to have the family around and spending a lot of time together.

The stuff I used for this layout:
Core'dinations - ColorCore cardstock (snowflake).
Me & My Big Ideas - Modern Milan (paperpad).
Tilda - Autumngarden (paperpad).
Tinkering Ink - Trofiette (papier).
Basic Grey - Doilies (paper), brads and clear stamp.
Fancy Pants - Rub-ons #462.
Prima - Flowers #537456.
Webster Pages - Bloomers.
American Crafts - Thickers (Poolside).
Ranger - Distress Ink (Peeled Paint).

Have fun and join the challenge and create something nice based on this sketch. You have the change on winning a € 10,00 voucher to spend in the Hobby Farm store. Email your layout before February 15 to hobbyfarm@pandora.be.  Please take a look at the blog and see what the other girls created.

Have a nice sunday and enjoy the week ahead!

Fresh start

My first post in months is a happy one.

Serious health problems with DH kept me from blogging. Now everything changed for the good and I'm happy to pick up my creative things.

Evelien asked me to join the DT again, so the first layout I created in ages is for the Hobby Farm blog.

A typical boys layout about Jeffrey passing his tractor exam. The title and writing says: Tough - Since you were a little boy you drove on the tractor but today is your day and you can hit the road.

Tough

Materials I used:
Prima - Harmony Collection, Blooming Retro (paper), Chipboard # 551254, Flowers #552473.
7Gypsies - Familiy Documents (paper).
American Crafts - Thickers nutmeg.
Cosmo Cricket - Tiny Type # TT581.
Other - Ribbon, rope, buttons, staples, fineliner and sewingmachine.

It's good to be back, wish you all a good week.

A weekend at Hobby Farm

Just another fun weekend, this time I was in the store in Eeklo. Evelien and Katrien invited me to do a demo with Webster Pages.

A little impression of my table ...

One of the cards I created with the gorgeous "Bloomers" and "Sparklers".

Tanya and I stayed in a great place, the Hampshire Classic Hotel "Het Godshuis". The place to be for Scraptastic 2011. Next year I hope to be there too.

I will show more cards and layouts in my next post.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

No excuses ...

why it took me so long to update my blog. At the moment other things have priority. I finished my layout for the September challenge at the Hobby Farm blog. Evelien send my this sketch and from time to time it's nice to work on a 6x12" layout. Surprising that even when the size is smaller so many pictures fit on the page.

Congrats to Ann Goesaert for being this months guest designer. She created a colorful double page boys layout.

Next weekend I will be demonstrating in the store of Hobby Farm in Eeklo. Last year I had a great time and I'm looking forward to go there again. Webster Pages and Prima is my stuff to play with.

Tomorrow and Monday I'll be at the KKD. This time no demonstration but a little make 'n take with the new Kars X-Mas Collection and styropor. The item is a cute christmas tree. In my next post I'll show you the tree and maybe some pictures of the KKD.

Wish you all a very good weekend.
