Yesss it's Spring!

Finally i can look outside and see some sunshine!!It was really annoying it was raining all the time.Now it's time to enjoy the lovely weather and make some great Spring pictures!

So here is the scrapjack using Adrienne's layout as inspiration.Ofcourse i was too late with entering,but i'm still glad i made it.

And here's a layout i made for Scrap! 2 months ago,not my best period but i didn't think the picture in the magazine did my layout any justice...So i thought i show it here again.

Okay i'm off to enjoy the weather,and will update my blog on monday.Have a nice weekend!!

Back to FUN scrapping!

So my computer is working again,but it's verry slow which is sooo annoying.I have been working on some asignments for Scrap this week,but unfortunately i can't show them jet.I really like how they turned out,this was some FUN scrapping!Here are some "old" layouts i made some time ago when i wasn't feeling so great.I am not verry happy about them,but i thought i show them anyway.






























































I am off to scrap and fix my balcony,because the weather is starting to look nice :D

Woohoo

1000 visitors within 20 days,who would have thought that!!It makes me really excited :D

The Lipsmacker "winner" is Emine Pala,so send me your address and i will send you your smackers!

Lot of asignments to do this upcoming 2 weeks so not much too share i am afraid.But i have lot's to show from the past couple of weeks,so keep checking.Back tomorrow with some pictures.

Quick update and Lipsmacker give away :D

Well the computer is still not what it used to be,so another update from my mother's computer.I havn't done much scrapbooking lately,i just wasn't in the mood :S But i am planning to do some scrapping tonight,i guess more Elsie sketches.I am little bit behind schedule.I finished sketch 3,but the colors i used were just not working for me.Which were pastels...I guess i have to practice with the new baby coming up :)

Only 12 more weeks to go for the new baby arrive,can you believe that??Yes i'm excited but also a bit scared LOL The last time they gave me some good medicine,and i didn't feel a thing.I was all high to the sky!!So this time can't be just as easy as the last time,since i was already dying at 4cm...Oh well,it has to come out anyway.I just keep in mind it's the last time!!

I recieved my swaps for the Swap-Bot lipgloss swap,which are sooo cute!I love lip-gloss and especially "my childhood memory" Lipsmackers :D Now a days there are so many flavors,you can't even imagine!!You can see them @ www.smackers.com I recieved the flavors ice creamies and some cool Kool-Aid sticks,which i had never heard off.So i was glad that she added a package of the Kool-Aid drink.























And a big WOW for the counter!!Almost 800 people within 16 days,that's so cool...

So i thought it would be fun to do a Lipsmacker give away :D I know i know...this is for little girls but hey...WHO CARES!!Leave your name in the comments section,and let me know if you would like to recieve 1.

ow no!!

My computer crashed!!I CAN'T live without my computer,and especially not without Ebay LOL
I know...I am really addicted to internet/Ebay.But my computer is my nr.1 entertainment next to my cute son Julian :D I am sorry for the people who emailed me and havn't got any response.But as soon as my computer is running again,i will update everything and show you some of my recent work.Which isn't that much because of the lovely weather!!

Will be back soon(i hope...)

It's time to...

reveal my SECRET!I am the new designer for the German magazine Scrap-Art-Zine :D I am really excited about this and i can't wait to get started working with this great Designteam full of talented scrappers.They recently switch from digital to a paper magazine and i can't wait to get my hands on the first magazine.Here is the link to the website,so you can look around and/or order the magazine.http://www.scrap-art-zine.de/

Many thanks to Andrea and Jana for this great opportunity!

Cute Celine

So here are some pictures of Celine and me.Unfortunately they are all yellow because we made them inside.At the moment i dont have photoshop,so i was wondering if any of you would like to help and photoshop them for me??Of course i will be giving that person some goodies as a thank you!But they do have to look good :)

I havn't got the chance to finish my projects jet,but i am pretty sure i will finish them.I really REALLY like them,but it's not a small project so it takes a few days.Gotta do some scrapping today,i really feel like it.Just some FUN scrapping,i guess the Elsie sketch of this week.

Wacky Workshops

So yesterday Martine and i went to the Wacky Workshops in Veghel.And i had so much fun!The workshops were great,food was nice and i met a lot of friends.@ 10 am we did the workshop Funky Fabric book from Celine Navarro,and i can tell you:She is just the Sweetest!!We had a little chat with her and she wrote me a little message on fabric,so cute :D
But besides the fact that she is Sweet she is also verry talented!!Boy i just loved her fabric book.
We cut the pages out of thick red felt and embellished it with fabric,felt flowers,buttons,fabric tags,doodling,journaling etc.I am not a fast scrapper and i started with stitching,so i only finished the front LOL But i don't mind,because i really think i will finish this one...

So after that we had time for lunch and just time to chat and relax.Loved to see all of the people i know from blogging etc. in real life.A lot of people recognized me,which i always think is Fun!
But i am not to sure why that is?Well i guess it's just the preggo belly :D

It was time for the next workshop which was given by Corinne Delis.We made a mini album using paint,hambly,cherry arte pp,buttons,stamps,felt etc.Got to finish the front of the album and some of the pages,some just need some more embellishments...Great workshop with cute techniques and lot's of give away's.So thanks to Marcia,Celine and Corinne for this great weekend!Can't wait for the next cool Wacky Workshop weekend,count me in!!

Pictures will be added later.

Ouch!

My back is killing me!I guess i sat to long behind the computer on a wooden chair...
Now i can't hardly walk normal!So i guess no scrapping for me.Well maybe on the floor?

I found this cool website called swap-bot where you can swap a lot of things!
There are swaps that are scrapbook/atc related but also a lot of fun other stuff.
I just love those unusual stuff from other country's,especially from Japan :D

Need any fun ideas for scrapping?Come and join us with the Elsie challenges on Twopeas!
I think it's so much fun to see all the diffrent layout made from 1 sketch.

Sorry nothing to show jet,maybe when i am feeling better.

Elsie sketch 2

Okay here is my layout for the Elsie sketch 2,i had some trouble doing this sketch.So i didnt do the stamping,it was just not working for me...Kinda Elsie inspired this layout but i like how it turned out.Sorry for the bad picture.(Will try to make a better one today)

I am not working anymore for the Scrapland DT,since i havn't done any workshops and i guess i just didn't fit in their DT.Still i want to thank Nancy for this opportunity!

So i guess that makes it more exciting to tell my good news...Which i can't tell jet LOL I wish i could use a msn icon here as a devil :D

Not showing my Carnaval pictures jet,since i am planning to scrap them soon...

What a busy weekend!!

WOW so much to do and not so much time...There is carnaval this weekend and today we are going to the parade.Yesterday Julian was dressed up as a pirate,but i forgot to take pictures!!!!!!!Owmy what kind of scrapper am i???O well,good for me his father took some pictures with his phone.Today he is going as Tigger,since my mother bought me this really cute suit from Disney.Will make some pictures today!

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 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!!

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.

Big Smooch!!

*Edit* I don't know why,but i can only post comments on several blogs.
