Sewing time!!

I got these beautiful ScrapDiary pp all the way from Brasil,thanks to my sweet friend Lucy!!Since the Xtreme weekend i have been dying to use them and i am so happy i did.These colors are such a pleassure to work with,and i think they are totally perfect for my boys layouts.So i had this idea for a kind of quilt layout and i like the result.Gotta use my sewing machine much more often...Sorry for the bad picture,i really need a scanner!!The weather is just terrible and it's dark inside.Will make a better picture when the weather gets better...And here is a little sneakpeekie :)
Okay girls,i need a big favor from ALL my Dutchies!!I have these pots for my ribbons and buttons from Xenos and i need some more.They are completely sold out at my Xenos,so i wanted to ask you girls if you can take a look at your Xenos...



I need 2 of these little pots and they only cost 65 euro cents...And from the big pots i need 5 or more.But if you can only 1 or more would be great too!!There will be a nice package waiting for the 1 who helps me out!!
More sneaks soon!Happy scrapping!

I'm hooked on...

Photoswaps!They are so much fun :D I have had some question about what photoswaps are,so here's a simple explanation...You get several photo from your partner,this can be anything your partner choose.(selfportrait,children,pets etc.)You ask your partner which format they prefer and make a layout in your own style using 1 or several of the pictures you recieved.That's it!

I will be doing some more photoswaps soon,but first i have to finish some asignments!!

Here is a photoswap i did with a SIS on SIStv called Ellymew,you can see the layouts she made for me here.

And here is a layout i made for my friend marieke,hope you like it girly :D


Next time i will be updating with some sneaks!Happy Scrapping!

Got tagged...

by my cutie Nancy!Thanks dear :) Okay guess it's time to share...

1. My family and me are following the diet from Michel Montignac and i have lost 5 KG already!Now that my mom is gone on vacation i am having a little break,but i will start again when my mom get's back.Please pray for me that i didn't gain the 5 KG already...LOL

2.I am addicted to check my email...I do it every 5 minutes.(Or maybe less...)

3.Everytime i go to H&M,i am drooling all over the little girls section.They have so many cute things...

4.During my pregnancy i used to forget everything!I had to ask people the same thing several times a day.I still attend to forget things on a daily basis...

5.I LOVE eating French Cheese!!I am so glad i found a diet where i'm allowed to eat it.I used to eat the combo of pasta and french cheese,but that combo is not Montignac...

6.I hate BIG dogs,they always scare the S... out of me!

7.I am scrapbooking for almost 2,5 years now,the best hobby ever!And i believe it's almost 2 years ago i started working for Scrap! magazine,and i still luv it!

Not much to show jet since i can't take any pictures,but i will make a big topic when i get my camera back.So for now it's just a cute Halloween card i made for my aunt,she loves Halloween!It looks so much better in real life though...hmmm

I am recieving my new Bampop goodies this week,cant wait to play! :) Happy Scrapping

Xtreme weekend was really Xtreme!!

This weekend was amazing!!I did some fun scrapbooking and met some really sweet new friends.My good friend Barbara picked me up in Leiden,and it was so nice catching up with her while we drove to Katwijk aan Zee.Arriving at Tripodia we met my cute friends Lucy and Helene.They are both so sweet,and i am so glad i met them!!Lucy brought me this really cute stuff like 12x12 felt,handmade scissor cover,awesome brazilian patterned paper and much more.I loved every single thing and i will make a picture as soon as i get my camera back from Barbara.I forgot it in her car...

After that i met my sweet friend Adrienne,she is such a doll!!And i think she did everything verry well for a first time.Her first workshop was a layout and card using really great non scrapbooking stuff i didnt tried jet.We used bubblewrap,lollipop sticks and grid.So cool!

After eating real quick and buying some AWESOME Hambly i have been wanting for such a long time,Corinne took some great pictures of us outside.So much fun!!

Then i had the workshop called Freestyle.A really great workshop,but i totally messed up!!I had this kind of burned orange coloured cardstock which just wasnt working for me.I think i will redo the layout in my favorite colours.I was so loving the popsicle sticks idea,never tried that 1 before either...We did another layout which was really cute,cant wait to finish that one :)

It was time,we were going to make the Hambly album.WOW WOW WOW i loved it!I still have to finish it because i was a bit slow...You really have to think about what to put where,because it will show on the other side of your page.Going to finish it today i think,but i can't take any pictures jet.

It was 5 pm and Xtreme weekend was over.But not for us!!We decided to go outside and take some fun pictures.Adrienne couldnt stay that long so we needed to be quick.I really love this picture of us blowing kisses.

So when the other girls were gone Barbara,Lucy,Helene and me decided to go and take some more pictures.I have never done such a fun photoshoot,i really had the time of my life!!


There were all these kinds of cool doors and bright containers,and i really like how these pictures turned out.We also found this cute strawberry print,cute huh??






So after that it was time to say goodbye to my dear friends.(I am missing you girls already!)And the 2 hour trip back home started...

I will show you girls my projects as soon as i get my camera back.So i guess i will be sharing some more pictures we took these upcoming days.Happy Scrapping!!

So i thought it was time to show some of my published work,here are my layouts for the Summer issue of SAZ.Unfortunately my copy got lost in the mail,and they were completely sold out!So if anyone wants to sell it to me,i would be soooo HAPPY!And i will send you some goodies too!!

I'm Lovin it

















Plain Fun

















Look at Me

















I did a ribbon project for Scrap!WOW this was hard for me!I am not such a big user of ribbons,although i have wayyyy too much ribbons,so i guess i have to start using them...













And this layout was also published in Scrap!This picture doesnt do my layout any justice,because i took it in a rush before taking it to the postoffice.It's wayyy of center LOL
Will make a better picture when i recieve the layout again...
