Will make more pictures this week...Hope you all had a great Christmas time!!
Got some new asignments,so i will be working on that the upcoming week.


Hate it that the second one(and some other cute ones)is blurry!!

Busy!!

Okay,my new assignments just arrived and i can't wait to get started.Sorry i can show you nothing jet,but it won't last long!So be sure to check out my blog soon.

I started making an altered hat,as seen on the red velvet blog and i really like it.
Will make pictures this weekend so you can see how it looks.(In combination with my new jacket!!)My mommy bought me a new pair of cool boots from WRANGLER,and i really like them.They look a bit like biker boots with a fur trim.Looks cool in combination with Julian's cool biker boots.

I wish everyone a nice weekend and Happy Holidays!!

Dortmund ROCKS!!

Don't forget to email me your addies for the Christmas cards!!

I went to Dortmund this Saturday with my mom and her husband and it was sooo cool!!There was a big Christmas market with LOTS of nice food and cute Christmas gifts.There was a huge Christmas tree with 13.000 lights!!We also did some nice shopping and my mom and me both bought a new coat.I was looking for a nice pregnancy coat and i finally found one at C&A in Germany LOL.It's a short trenchcoat in a nice camel color with two buttons,so you can show your bump.I loved eating a crepe with "kinder riedel"(the nice chocolate bars from Kinder),but i couldn't finish it...Hope to go back there again next year!!

Here is my pretty Christmas tree :D
I like it sooo much,it's so me...

Sorry sorry sorry!!

I am sorry for keeping you all waiting and wondering where i was!!But the last couple of weeks i have been really tired and lazy.I havn't done any scrapbooking or other creative things,so nothing to show...

Thanks for all the sweet emails and comments,that REALLY feels good!!
I don't have internet in my new home jet,so i have to go to my mom for that.(that rimes :D)

I am 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant today,and the baby is doing fine!!
I had an ultrasound this week and i was really excited.They gave me three pictures,and on 1 of them you can really see the hands.Unfortunately my scanner s*cks so you can't see nothing,but i will try to make some pictures from it.

Please email me your addresses for a Christmas card(fauve.van.maanen@home.nl)
I won't prommise that i will make them myself,but i will try my best :D

Please tell me some fun stuff ,what you have done lately etc.
I am loving all your fun comments :D Thanks again ladies

Big Smooch!!

*Edit* I don't know why,but i can only post comments on several blogs.
Hope i can find out why this is,so i can post more comments...

Just wanted to share this with you girls,and hope you can get some inspiration out of it.I know i can :D

I also made a list on the right,with some good links for Inspiration.
Check out Karen Michel's page,it's so inspiring!!

And if you like altered art,please check Teesha Moore's site.(thanks daphne)

Some news to share...

I wasn't feeling so good the last couple of weeks,so i made an appointment at the hospital.I went last friday and i turned out to be 10 weeks pregnant.Although this is not really planned :),i am really excited and happy about it.Don't really know how things will work out,but i am sure we will be fine.I will show you the pictures from the ultrasound as soon as possible!!Love you all :D

i {heart} you

Here is my new attempt @ Freestyle,inspired by the lovely Elsie Flannigan and Celine Navarro.I removed the staples from the
ribbon,because it didn't turned out that nice...
Love this picture from Julian,he looks so Happy :D
















Who's going to the opening of the new scrapbook store in Amsterdam?
It's the second Scrapland store in The Netherlands,hope to see you all there Saturday!!

Best buds

Okay so i guess it's just my new photo's that really got my MOJO back.
The page is a bit simple,but i like it.Really loving this picture!!















Okay so now another question...Has any of you Dutchies seen "REPORTAGE" this week?It was about the UFO in Roswell,New Mexico,and wow was that tape looking real or what??It was so interesting,but also kinda scary.I believe i have dreamed about aliens the whole night LOL.So let me know what you girls think...

Hope to show you some more soon,Happy Scrapping

Yummy

That is the exact right word for this layout!!It was sooo Yummy to make this page.FINALLY!!The scrapper in me is back :D The whole page just flew out of my hands,and that's really something that was missing the last couple of weeks.So get ready for some layouts this week girls,because i have some catching up to do!!Hmmm Where do i start...Any suggestions?

A day in the forest...

Love these pictures i took of my brother and Julian in the forest 2 weeks ago.We also went to the playground and Julian just loved it!!I lost my camera cable,so i couldn't upload my pictures.But here they are... :D

I did some scrapping

but i am not sure if i like it.I think i can do better then this,so i guess i havn't got my MOJO back... These are for the Scrapland DT,so i hope they like them...

Hoping that my scrapbooking will go better when i recieve my Elsie pictures...

I also wanted to show you my new ribbons,can you see i like polkadots??

I started my own art/inspiration journal,on advice of the lovely Elsie F.And i would love to see some for inspiration,so if anyone of you have an art journal...Please show me ?:D

I am feeling down

Like a lot of you girls know,i am having some personal issues.And because i am only human,i can't handle all those things at once.When i wake up in the morning i feel like doing nothing all day,i don't even feel like scrapping.And when i do,i don't like anything i do or make...So you can say i am kinda depressed,but oh well i think everything will be fine soon.So i can concentrate on important things to me,and feel happy again.So girls can you please help me with getting my MOJO back to me??Thanks to everyone for the nice emails and cards!!LOVE You

Ive got my stuff!!

Yeah we finally picked up my Scrapbook stuff at the "garage" today,and im so excited!!Can't wait to get started and show you some of my work.Sorry i have been a bad blogger this week,but i didn't had much to tell and show.
So if you miss me you know what i am doing!!I'm off to scrap!

Happy Scrapping!!

M&M's...

Well everytime i am eating peanut M&M's,i am thinking to myself...They all taste diffrent!!I am so loving the Yellow and Green ones,please tell me i am not nuts :D

I think i can share the good news now...I am on the

Scrapland

Designteam!!Woohoo Looking forward to meet all the other Designteam members.Starting with making some new pages for my Doodling workshops,so exciting!!Unfortunately i had to choose,because Scrapart also asked me for they're Designteam.Really hoping everything works out this time!!But since i met Nancy(who is such a sweetheart),i am having a good feeling about this.

Little shoutout for Elsie's little skelletons,they are so great!!So drop your name on her blog and you can win a real Elsie goodie.












By the way Girls,have you seen the new Doodlebug?Owmyyy so gotta have those paperfrills!!And the polkadot albums....and....:D

I wan't to Scrapbook!!

All my stuff is stored in a big "garage",so i can't Scrap untill i can get some of my stuff.But my Mom is still busy redoing her house,so i have to wait.Still i feel horrable that i can't Scrap.I would love to Scrap those funny pictures from my Elsie workshops.Too bad i forgot my Bampop kit @ Scrapboek.nl :(

Well i have some excited news,but i can't tell anything jet...sorry!!
A question to all you Scrapbookers out there...
How do you store you Chipboard?

What a day...

Wow what a day yesterday...Julian and i woke up at 5 AM.At 5.30 we took a Taxi to Tilburg CS,and had to wait for our train.(6.09)While sitting in the train,i suddenly realise that i forgot my baby stroller.(Duuuhh)We arrived at 8.30 in Lelystad CS,and we took the bus to the babysitter.After that,i had to return back to Lelystad CS.And i arrived at 9.30 at Scrapboek.nl,wow what a journey!!After some cleaning and reorganizing,it was time for some Elsie Cupcakes.















I met so many Great/Fun people!!Thank you all for this FUN experience.You guys are AWSOME!!And Elsie you are such a sweetie,please come back soon!!
It was so cool to finally meet some people,i have been looking forward to meet for so long. Photos are coming soon,but here are some photo's from Rianne.


























The journey back was terrible!!We took the train in lelystad at 7.23 PM,but we had to go to Arnhem and take the train there to Tilburg.But the most terrible part was...I had no BABYSTROLLER!! and two bags :(
We arrived at 11.30 PM in Tilburg.It was a "special"day...

Natural Beauty

This page is about my beautiful cat Chupy,made with the new Around the block papers.
Too bad you can't see the BG rub-on...TFL

more Elsie...

Here are the pictures made with Elsie's AWSOME camera!!Don't we look cute?LOL
The second photo is a shot of my "marilyn" page.

Groovy

Here is my latest layout made with some Urban Lily papers.Love the tough look with the motorcycle photo's.Hope to show more soon,i am still busy finishing my Elsie album.





















p.s.Journaling is under the right photo.It says how happy Julian was with his motercycle,and that grandma likes to call it "buy of the year".

I LOVE Elsie

Went to Elsie's workshop @ piens today,and wowie Mari and i had so much FUN!!
We made a cute mini album,which i am going to finish (tonight) this week.
I've took a lot of cute pictures,and she signed my book.She also wrote me a cute little message on her picture.Will show you my album when i finished it.

THANK YOU ELSIE,for this great day!!

Splitting up

This might come as a shock to some of you,but my boyfriend and me are having so much troubles we decided to split up.Which isn't easy after 6 years and having a "baby" together.
I am staying at my mom in Tilburg until i find something else.So it's going to be a hard and difficult time for me.I will leave Lelystad in 2-3 weeks from now.So i will be packing the next 3 weeks,after i finished my deadlines.

***More bad news...Akkefietje and i emailed a couple of times,and decided to quit.There was no connection,so this is probably for the better.






















And i just had to show this picture,makes me happy!!

Workshop Doodling+Handwriting

The workshop went really nice.There was also a man following my class,how cool is that?
We started with the Doodling techniques,continued by the handwriting techniques.
And then made a layout using those techniques.Here is my example,sorry for the bad picture.

















Will make a good picture tomorow,and add a chipboard title.

excited!!

I am all excited about my workshop on Saturday!!Hope everything goes well,because the owner of the store is not there...I am almost done with my projects for Scrap!,and i think they turned out nice.

I also subscribed for the Twopeas rolodex swap...What was i thinking?? :D
But it's so awsome to recieve all those cute cards,and they look really nice in my little rolodex...


Here is my finished Make&Take,it's my mother back in 1982 :)

Ow my...

I LOVE Julian sooo much,but sometimes...His "new" thing is to drop himself on the floor and start screaming when i say NO!!I am soooooooo not able to handle that.It's really freaking me out,especially since he is just 16 months old!!Ow well they say it stops...(but when??)

I finished a NICE make&take i started at Akkefietje,i will show it later here.

What do you girls think of my new banner?It's my first attempt at doing something digital(so be gentle :D)

Akkefietje

was COOL!!Fun scrapbook store and nice people.I didn't get to know them all,because it was really busy.The make&take went well...When i told people it was my first time,they said it looks like i have been doing it for years.So that's always nice to hear.(true or not :D)

Bye bye

I am off to Tilburg for now.Have to give the make&take tomorrow at 10 am.
Julian is staying with his grandparents,so they are going to the Efteling(themepark)
I made some changes to the springpage for Akkefietje.
