New Teams

I have so much to tell..so many great new things to share but first of all..I decided to start blogging on a daily base. I can take more time to promote my designers stuff when I blog every day and it doesn't take hours like it will take me now to show you all layouts.

I have been published again..this time in 'The Daily Scrapper, issue October 2008'..I feel really honored as they just pick a few layouts every month!!

So..my layouts..first of all, Phuong Ton asked me to sort of guest for her. She made two great kits.. Orchid Dreams, Reawakening and Orchid Dreams, The Beginning and I made a page with both of them.

For Juno Designs I made a page with her new collab kit with Anja J. 'Colorful Nature'. Really love the bright colors of this kit and love how this page of my youngest son turned out...

One of my new CT's is of Lorie M. Designs. She is a 'new' designer and I really love her style, a combination of digitally made and realistic elements. I worked with her Ma Boo Hay collab kit by Crop Dreams (Lorie M. Designs, Aimee Designs, Cactus Mango). It is a charity kit to celebrate Filipino American History Month to benefit Opportunity House - a Pearl S. Buck Foundation International program that helps children in Asian countries, like the Philippines.

I also made a page with her Halloween kit, Spooky Fun Halloween..

I made two Halloween pages with Symphonie's new kit 'Halloween Spirit'...a wonderful kit for halloween and fall pages!

..next page made it to 'Layout of the Day' at ScrapScandiStyle'

A new kit by Nikki Scott named 'Monster Madness'...I asked my kids to make scarry faces but that was not so easy as they thought it would be...I think they look more funny than scarry ;)

During the autumn-schoolholidays we made a long walk and I took some great pictures of my boys...with one of them I made this page with Juno Designs kit 'Fallin'. I think I rather have fall kits than summer kits, love the colors!

Julie Mead of E-scapeandscrap asked me several times to join her site-CT and she is such a nice lady so how could I refuse....I made a first page with Kay Eflin's kit 'From Boys to men' and it is a page of my youngest son fishin'.

Another new team....Glam Fairy Designs aka Stephanie Trouve...her work is amazing. I already knew some of her kits and I am very happy to be on her team. I made two pages with her kit 'Witch Out!'

Pepeetje/Petra made a new kit 'Memories'. I really loved to make some vintage layouts with it of my family...a first one of my mom being pregnant of me and the second one of my grandparents seeing me for the first time...

Jen E. made a new kit called 'Oh Brother' and I used some great pictures of our walk to scrap a page with.

Gina Marie Huff made a gorgeous new kit 'Full of Wonder' and I made this awesome page with it, sorry..I really love it myself ;)

Rest of the pages I still didn't post here, will be in tomorrow's post...as I have to go and celebrate my uncle's birthday! Tomorrow I will also give you a sneak peak to Lorie's new coming kit ;)Oh..and don't forget..all images are clickable for further credits!

See ya tomorrow!!

Toooooooot...I am Published

Yeahhh...above layout page is Published in October's Issue of 'Artisan Notebook'. It was published in an item about blendingtechniques. Can't tell you how proud I am to see my page there!!

Since last week I am in Juno Designs'CT..she is Dutch, very talented and fun and I really love her designs. I made above page with her wonderful kit 'Rainbow Punch' which is collab with Valorie Brown.

Jill (of Juno Designs) teamed up with Nikky Scott (I am ct'ing for her too..lol) and they made a great fun kit 'Beyond the Sea'. I used pictures of my son, playing in the swimmingpool during our stay in Italy!

This is my third page for Jill's team and I used her gorgeous kit 'Another Sunny Day'. I thought the colors of the picture really would fit great with the kit but later on they pointed me on the snow and summer flowers..strange combination..but still..love it!

A picture of me with my oldest son...I always loved this picture and finally found a moment to scrap it! I used MK Designs' 'September Grabbag'.

My Guest CT at MK Designs ended and this was the last page I did for her. It is my oldest son and our dog Daisy, just 9 weeks old. I used MK Designs'kit 'Wauff' for it and love how it turned out! A cool page!! There is also a cute cat in this kit..you should really take a look! And guess what...Marlies is having a huge sales this weekend!!

Gina Marie Huff at Weeds and Wildflowers released her wonderfall new kit 'Kickin' Up The Leaves'. It is huge, wonderful, colorful and filled with gorgeous elements and papers! I scrapped a picture of my boys..almost 2 years ago! I just realized that they grow up sooo fast now!

This layout has been made for the '3-things-challenge' I am playing at the W&W-blog. The challenge? Well..create a layout with 2 frames, leaves and some blending..not a big deal..everyone can do that! I used pictures of my hubby with our oldest dog Quincy...don't they look great together!

This layout has been made for a scraplift challenge at Shabbypickledesigns. I used Holly Designs new kit 'Portland'. I used a picture of my youngest son. He looks so happy on the picture..can you believe that I took this picture just after we left 'first aid' as he had an accident in the swimmingpool and his chin has been stitched by the gorgeous Italian doctor Alessandro, who might have been a doctor from ER with his looks..lol.

In October I will be Guest at Faith True's CT. I made my first page for her and used 'Belly Pop Pregnancy Collab' by Faith True and Tara Dunstan! During my first pregnancy I only made this picture of my belly, I had totally forgotten to do it before and I had already had contrations as we rushed to take this picture.

For my CT of Nikky Scott I made 2 pages with her kit 'Space Ranger'..it turned out to be real fun layouts! Both layouts are made with pictures of Disney, Paris...we went to 'Buzz Lightyear' over there and did some lasershooting...funnnn!!

Thanks for looking again..hope you liked my pages and hope to show you many more next time!!

It's me again

So..I really need to update here and show you my layouts. I am still doing the guest CT for MK Designs. She is working so hard...I already made lots of layouts with her stuff and I really love it...I feel sorry the month is almost over. In October I will be guesting at Faith True's CT at ShabbyPicklesDesign and I am not sure when, but I also will have a Guest spot at Shabby Miss Jenn's CT but I am still open for other spots..guest or permanent sooooo...if anybody is interested!!

This layout is made with 'The Colorful World' by MK Designs and the little girl is Kim, the DD of webfriend Mo.

My first Halloweenpage this year..I used MK Designs kit 'Boo' and pictures of former years..both are my boys in case you didn't recognize them..lol

This is my oldest son, about 3 months old...I scrapped it with 'A Godsend' collab by MK Designs and Lia Designs...really love this page!

Connie Prince aka DigiDiva Designs had a 1 kit call and so I made a page with her awesome kit 'Slap Happy'. The picture was taken last week during a walk through the park.

Gina Marie Huff created a great new 'Ransom Note Alpha', I made this page with it also using her kit 'The Great Outdoors'. Really love those pictures of my oldest DS..he is such a cutie!

For this layout I used Jofia's new kit 'Painted with the Autumn Sun'...really love this kit. The page is for a quote challenge at Shabby Pickle Design.

I was RAK'ed by Natali with her wonderful kit 'Goodbye Summer'. I used it to scrap a page of Ana, my son's girlfriend, during the school's beachgames.

For a freebiechallenge at Weeds and Wildflowers Design I scrapped a page of my boys. I really love this picture.

Another page with my son..this time in Venice during the city-trip we did. Venice is the most wonderful place I know. I made this page for a colorchallenge that we finally did not post...I used mostly 'The Great Outdoors'.

This page is about how much I love Venice..as the title says. Pictures were made last August and I mostly used Jofia's goodies and Natali's wordart.

Both pages are made with 'All about Romance' by MK Designs. First page is with a picture of my husband and me on our weddingday...I just told him my weddingpresent for him was a bernese mountaindogpuppy, which made him a bit emotional. The other page is with a picture of our little friend Julia!

Thanks for looking and see you next time!

Buzzy Bee

I have been very busy lately...I had my 40th birthday last week (which of course was a bit painful), we had such a great day..it was sunny, sort of Italian weather which I thought was a little birthdaypresent from above..we could sit outside till way past midnight, had a great bbq and had some sweet friends and family over...nothing could go wrong (except the age...!) But okay, now, one week later I have to confess..nothing changed, lucky me. Then the outside walls of our house are getting pointed which means lots of dust to start with. I also did a lot of scrapping. I have done a few non-ct layouts like above one.
It is a picture of my youngest at the beach. The layout is made for a challenge at ShabbyPickledesigns. I had to make a layout for in my favorite room..well..that is my living room. It is off white with lots of wood (white painted ofcourse). You should see this layout as a reflection of my room. I used all Jofia Designs' products, mostly 'Sea oh Sea'

For a scraplift challenge at Shabbypickledesign I lifted a page of Sabrina Dupré and used 'Free your soul' of Kasia Designs. I love this picture of my oldest boy. It was also taken on the beach during school beachgame's..

Another Shabby Challenge....use lyrics for your layout. I used the lyrics of 'Pink' by Aerosmith and used Holly Designs kit 'Sugarrush' to complete it!

This layout is made for a Shabby scraplift challenge..I lifted one of Kasia's layouts and used her kit 'Coffeelicious'. It is my youngest son making funny faces in Italy. On the last picture he is doing is 'in love'-face..hopefully he doesn't scare off the girls in the future!

This month (September) I am guest at MK Designs. She is selling at thedigichick.com. I really love her kits and she works soooo hard, really..I can't believe how fast she is! This layout is made with one of her kits 'Fal(ling) in(to) the box' and I used a picture of Daisy when she was just 9 weeks old..she looks so sweat here...

Another layout with Fal(ling) in(to) the box..a picture of my youngest son, two years ago..he is a real model!!

Another MK Designs kit 'Tabzilla'. This layout is a Rak for Nicky and her DD Alina..

A picture of our wedding 2 years ago...me watching the balloons my boys let go. The owls you see on the Tabzilla layout's are from MK Designs '(Commercial use) Owls'.

This layout is a RAK for Uta and her DD Melina, made with 'Funky Princess' by 'Nikki and Jen'. Nikki and Jen are very happy as they no longer sale at their blog but since a few days they have their shoppe at 'Elementalscraps.com'...wayyyy to go girls!

Well..last but not least two pages with Gina Marie's Delightfull Collection..I keep grabbing this wonderful kit!

This layout is a actually a 'Thank you'-page for Elisabeth Willeboordse. She visited my youngest son's class the morning she came back from the Olympic Games in China where she won a bronze medal for Judo! Her little niece is in my boy's class so she came in and told all little boys and girls about China, about the games, the could hold her medal and finally my boy played a little judogame with her as he follows judo-lessons for almost two years now...and of course...he won ;) The day after this little visit we saw her on television when she visited our Queen with all other medalwinners..my little boy was realllly proud he beat her!

Here a birthday page for Sophie and her mom. After seeing these pictures I knew exactly which papers to use. Picture credits here.

Well..it really was a long post again...sorry...I just can't seem to find the time to post sooner..lol....but I will try next time, again! Thanks for looking!!
