Paper Bag Album

I finally finished my paper bag album last night. This album is based on an album created by Iggydodie. I almost ruined two pages of my album, but fortunately both pages turned out well in the end. Larger images can be viewed on Two Peas in a Bucket.

Meeting Mandy

This morning I went to visit Mandy who also lives in IJsselstein. We visit each other's blog and now we also met in person. A while ago - when I posted a picture of a photo swap layout on my blog - Mandy suggested to do a photo swap together. I liked the idea, so we set a date. Today we had a cup of tea together and exchanged pictures. I got a nice picture of her husband and little boy Max, and I gave Mandy a picture of Fleur made last Sunday. It is always a challenge to make a layout with a picture of someone else, but a fun thing to do. Of course I will do my utmost to make a nice layout. Mandy, it was nice meeting you and Max (so glad he is doing better now). Next time when we exchange the layouts you also have to bring me the book you recommended. :-)

You've Got Mail

I received this Sizzix die in the mail this morning. I have to finish some other projects first, but then I can start on a project I have in mind inspired by my sister-in-law Lisette.

A little update

I haven't scrapped much this past week. Hopefully I will be able to do a little more this week. I finished a few pages of my paperbag album this weekend. I have to create about 4 more pages and then my little album is finished. To give you a little update.....here's one of the pages.

It's a Beautiful Day

Scraplift

When I went through the gallery on Two Peas in a Bucket today I came across a layout that looked pretty familiar to me. I opened the layout and was totally surprised to read that one used one of my layouts for a challenge on a French message board. Some of you may remember this layout of Sanne I made for a Dutch challenge in December.



It is my favorite layout, but I had never thought it would be good enough to be used for a scraplift challenge. I use other people's work for inspiration as well, but I must say it is a pretty weird experience for me to see that my work is scraplifted by others. I have only been scrapping for a year, so I am a little flattered.

Here are the two scraplifts.

***edited***

Here's another scraplift by Daniela sent to me by Alexandra (Calexandra). I really like the bright colors. The circles are created with paint, but it looks like patterned paper.



Not much else going on at the moment. I am working on a few mini books in parallel, but since I haven't finished any of the books I can't show you anything yet.

Only for 1 Day

Eric was the proud "owner" of this Aston Martin DB9 for just 1 day. What a car! He came home a little earlier, so we could drive a few miles together. It is a beautiful car, but absolutely not my style. Of course I can't afford such a car, but even if I had millions in my bank account I wouldn't buy this car. There are other brands that I like more. However, it was fun to drive the Aston Martin. A dream came true......for Eric.

Birthday Card

I have to send a birthday card today, so I quickly made one myself. I came across a card on Two Peas in a Bucket last week, and scraplifted that card.

My Little Diva

I made this simple 6x6" mini book yesterday. I used Hambly Screen Prints overlays and My Mind's Eye provided by Dolls & Decorations and Basic Grey's Blush. I wanted to create this mini book for the Dolls Day last Saturday, but as I was ill last week I didn't create anything other than the layout I showed you. Pictures of Sanne were taken on 28 March.

Scrapbook Goodies

Here are the pictures of the scrapbook goodies I purchased yesterday. I had a gift coupon to spend, and I used it to buy the beautiful Fancy Pants clear stamps.
