Can you tell

i just LOVE Easter?I was thinking about redecorate my room into the Easter theme already,but since it's SNOWING i think i will wait a couple of weeks :D So i went to the Xenos(cute dutch store)to look for Easter stuff and yes they already had a few things...Unfortunately i didn't like them.I so so so can't wait!Talking about Easter(spring),look at this cute Doodlebug ad. I just love those little houses,i think they are so much fun.Gotta try that sometime...I hope there will be getting a lot of new Easter scrapbooking stuff.





















Here is my Easter spread from last year,using the cute Doodlebug stuff.




















I am busy making a fun Easter project,so will show that as soon as i finish it.

*Edit* Owmy i just found this at the Doodlebug site!
The cute houses made from Chipboard!!




















Also please take a look at this cool scraplift *beaglesonthebrain* made,so awesome!

Thanks!

For all of your sweet comments and emails with congratulations about the little boy!! Since my ultrasound i am all excited and really busy with sorting out baby stuff etc. Now i only have to think of a name...I think i already got 1...But i'm not telling it jet,sorry! :D You've gotta keep it exciting right?Hmmm guess it wasn't so secret with my last pregnancy... Almost everybody knew it was going to be a boy and a lot of family did knew the name too.

Well did some scrapping...I made this layout for the pubcall of Blueprintscreens,but i didn't won. I didn't like the sketch and so my layout didn't turned out so great too... Sorry for the bad picture!!I sooo need to buy a new scanner.I am saying this for months now,maybe it's time to really do it?? :D













I also made a layout for Birgit's sketch,which was SO much fun!I really enjoyed doing this sketch,maybe i should do this more often?I'm thinking of continuing with the 52 "Elsie" challenges.I always loved to do the challenges,but i stopped doing them since my "personal issues".

Also joined Pealift 30 which i finished today,will show that layout tomorrow.

I am expecting...

A BOY!!I had an ultrasounds this morning and the baby was doing fine!He was really busy and kicked several times when i was having the ultrasound.So now it's time to find a cool name...wow thats difficult!!I went straight to the H&M to buy some cute baby clothes :)

I made this page inspired by the lovely Adrienne Looman.She is so awesome and talented,please check her blog http://www.acolorfulhouse.typepad.com/

We are going to do a photoswap,how cool is that?Can't wait!!

It's been a while...

I found this cool new line,which i think is awesome.

Here are some of my favorite things in my room!I love all the colorful and cute stuff.I saw Elsie's favorite's and i thought it would be nice to share mine.























I didn't went shopping in Amsterdam,but i did had a meeting with the Scrapland DT which was sooo nice.Hope we can do it over sometime!!Nancy from Scrapland gave us the mini tote from AMM and some green HS flowers(which are so cool!!) and a quickie glui pen.How awesome is that??

Will show some more work soon,and also the girls page because i added some doodling.

Here's another one...

for the Scrapland designteam. I have several asignments,so i am kinda busy but it's oh so fun!
Still it isn't flowing out of my hands like it used to do...Maybe i have to shop again!!Any suggestions for online shopping?What do you girls think is a fun "Dutch" online shop??I am looking for alphabets in particular...I was looking for the AC Thickers,but i can't find any nice ones.

Who is going to the Wacky Workshops @ De-Creatie?I ordered today,but i still have to fill in which workshops...Which ones are you going to follow???I have no plans yet so does anyone like to go with me?? :D

Going to shop this weekend in Amsterdam,so wish me luck for some great buys :)

Okay still a bit lazy,but lucky for me no more morning sicksness etc.I have another ultrasound on the 30th of January,and then i finally know if i am getting a boy or a girl!!Can't wait!!


Made this page for Scrapland,and i think it came out cute!Will meet those girls from Scrapland next weekend,can't wait to meet them all.

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

Hope i can find out why this is,so i can post more comments...

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.

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...
