New layouts

wow...I haven't posted any layout this year...mh...it was one of my resolutions...I had only two..post every day and loose some weight..and I did already loose some...yeah!! Ok..so...from now on..posting will be better, I promis!!!

The After Five Designers made this wonderful collab 'Light up the Night' and this collab is truly amazing, really the best they ever made in my opinion.

Irene Alexeeva released a new kit 'Kiss him he's green'....I love the kit and made this page with it. I used a template of Studio Crystal at SBG.

Sooo...loosing weight...one of my resolutions..I scrapped the start of my battle and after the first week. I used K-Studio's kit 'Motivated' and I will continue using this kit for it untill I reached my goal. I even saw she has made some according wordart so I really need that now...as extra motiviation (well..isn't that a good excuse for buying it..lol).

I used Kasia's kit 'Going Camping' to make this page...guess it turned out good.

This page is made for the 'On the House Challenge' at After Five. I used a freebie of Lily Designs 'Vintage White' and it is wonderful....you should really grab it as long as it is available.

For this picture of my youngest son I used Lotta Designs' kit 'Sleep Tight'.

This page, with pictures of my youngest son, is made with ET Designs' new kit 'Boy's Adventure'.
That is it for today..I made few pages more but kits are not released yet so they have to wait. I will be back tomorrow with another page! Thanks for looking!!

Christmas

It is December 26th already and in the Netherlands that is an official holiday...we celebrate 2nd Christmas Day. Yesterday my parents were here..we all got some lovely presents, had a great dinner *yeah..my timing was perfect..all food was ready in time* and we had a lot of fun with the new balance board for the Wii...so we lost some weight during the evening, which was great after a huge meal.
This page has been made with one of Kasia's $1 kits.. 'Pieces of Christmas'. Tomorrow is the last day of her $1 Christmas Sale so take your chance! For the shadows I used K-Studio's 'shadows perfected layer styles'. I wanted to buy them for longer time and I am really happy to have them now..they are great!
Well..I am leaving now..we are going to the Christmas Circus in town...so wish you a great day!

Chistmas Eve

Wow...it is December 24th already and I have been running around last days doing Christmas shoppings. Today I will have to pick up last little things that I have ordered and buy a few presents and then I am ready to celebrate Christmas with my family. This evening I will bake my Christmas bread and we will watch 'All you need is Love-Christmas Edition' what is always good for some tears hihi....then tomorrow my parents will come and as we celebrate a second Christmas here in the Netherlands we will go to a special Christmas-circus on December 26th...I am really looking forward to all these celebrations...and I hope to find some time to scrap as that is what I love to do after busy days. I have some last Christmas layouts I made these last days..hope you like them.

This page is made with 'Merry and Bright' by Natali Designs, think it is my favorite Christmas-kit of this year..well..I love so many of them...mhh..

I used one of my wedding pictures and Lily's kits '9 days of Christmas' and 'Winter Skating'. I think JJ's wintercollection was absolutely amazing and she is really my all over favorite designer...can't wait what she will come up with next.

This page has been made for the After5 'On the House Challenge' and I used Nikki Beaudreau's freebie 'Winter Morning'.

I could not resist Karina's kit 'Joy of Baking'. I made two pages with it and really enjoyed playing with this kit.

Kristen Rice/K-Studio is December guest at Catscrap and released a great kit 'Feeling ick (&Boo - Boos too)'...it is filled with great elements to scrap you sick or hurted kid's pictures. I realllly love all her designs :)

Kasia relesed a new kit 'Kit For a Girl' and I used pictures of our sweet little friend Julia. Kasia has some great '7 days $1 Christmas sale'..everyday there are some $1 kits in her store..a wonderful chance to complete 'my Kasia collection'..

That is it for today....I wish you allll a very Merry Christmas.....enjoy all good things...your friends and family....the little presents...the music...the dinner....and all good things we have in our lives...

Merry Merry

Irene Alexeeva released a wonderful new kit today 'Merry Merry' and it is on sale now!! It is really very versatile and the red really pops out!! Here is my page with it!

I made this page for a journaling cahllenge. I used 'Halo' by Holly Designs and Jofia's Little Labeled Alpha. The page is about how guilty I feel about the death of my dog Quincy...maybe it is not true the way I see it..but this is how it still feels..and that hurts.

This layout is made with Kristen Rice' Earth kit. Few weeks after Quincy died, my parents' Golden Retriever Ashley died too...I made this page for her in loving memories! We miss her a lot....

Fun pages

This week I planned to scrap just for fun..well..scrapping is always fun but I mean..no designing, no CT work but just scrap those kits that I once bought but never had time to use. For inspiration I played several challenges at After Five Designs and Shabby Pickle Designs and that was great (and I earned some Gift Certificates with it which is great too). I will show you my pages of this week and will end with a few birthday-pages I did (for fun..lol).

There is a little story behind this kit. When it was released, last week, my friend Anja and me...we woke up at 5.00/5.30 to keep our eyes opened on Lily's blog. At release date she gives a few coupon codes for the first 5 girls to get the kit for free..and this time..we wanted to have luck too...but...it took hours for the kit came up in the shoppe and by that time, other girls used the coupons for other kits of Lily (what of course was not meant to be done)..so...after waiting for about 7 hours..lol...I bought it..but...hey..I was the first to buy ;) and later this page made it to GSO (Gallery Stand Out)
