Kazan's Sketch 17 & ShortCuts Special Offer

I got back from my 4-day trip to Saint Sorlin d'Arves, France late Monday night. I had a wonderful time with my co-workers. I must honestly say that I wasn't too enthusiastic about this trip at first as I never went skiing before, but.....I had a great time and even went skiing on Saturday and Sunday. My colleague Marian and I were the only ones who couldn't ski. Our colleague Merlijn - who was a ski instructor - taught us some techniques on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. On Sunday afternoon we had a private lesson from Marco, a French instructor. I really enjoyed skiing and being outside all day. The weather was beautiful. A bit chilly, but sunny. Unfortunately I hardly took any pictures. One of my colleagues took some pictures of me skiing, but I haven't received them yet.

I was suprised to find out that Fleur and Sanne posted their cards on my blog. On behalf of Fleur and Sanne I would like to thank you for leaving such sweet comments. They were so happy and excited to read all your lovely comments. I am so proud of my sweeties.

I think it has been more than a week ago since I did some scrapping. This afternoon I finally had some time again to create a card. I made another card for ShortCuts and used Kazan's Sketch 17 over at 2 Sketches 4 You. I still enjoy the 2S4Y sketches. They always inspire me.

    Dat zal best even wennen zijn geweest om voor het eerst op ski's te staan of niet? Wel leuk dat je les hebt kunnen krijgen en het toch naar je zin hebt gehad! Je kaart is uiteraard weer erg leuk en ook om je weer even gezien te hebben...xxxWendy.
