I am sooo tired!

Or you can call it lazy...Tired just sounds better to me.During day time i don't have much time to scrapbook and when it's evening,i just don't have anymore energy left to scrapbook.Kinda frustrating since i do wan't to scrapbook...Sounds confusing and boring right?Yeah,i think so too!

I wan't to give a big shout out to my B-day girl Celine.Hope you have a fun day girly!I had this picture laying around,so i made her a little Happy B-day card.Last Tuesday my best friend Marianne came to visit me!She lives all the way in Dubai,so we don't see eachother that often.But it's sure that when we do,we have the best time ever!So after we dropped Julian at his school,we ate some fish and did some groceries.(Like we ALWAYS do...)She brought me this whole pile of clothes that were sooo cute!Thanks again sweety,mwuah!We decided to go to the park and take some pictures.Isn't she lovely?She is one of those girls that is so pretty,you just feel ugly walking next to them LOL
And a pictures from my little chubby :DI'll be back with some new layouts,including my layout for the new ScrapMojo challenge!!Happy Scrapping :)

Scrap-a-licious weekend!

Sorry it took so long to update!I have been so tired lately,i needed to catch up some sleep...Okay,so somehow i always end up taking pictures with other people's camera's,so not many pictures to show...But i can tell you some stuff about the weekend.I went to Utrecht all by myself since my friend Martine couldn't come.I wasn't paying attention and ended up on Utrecht Overvecht...Great,just my luck!I was glad i had a train earlier,so i was still on time for the first workshop.

I knew a lot of people that were attending and i wish i had more time to say Hi to everybody.Still i got the meet a lot of people i know from blogging and from SIScrops etc.It was so good seeying some good friends of mine!I was sitting next to Natasja,and we had a great time together with lots of laughs!The first day we made an Art Journal,Hambly mini album and a layout.The Art Journal was my favorite since i learned so many technique's from that one.I never played with Gesso and water soluble crayons before,and yesss i'm hooked and need it all now!We had a nice lunch and talked a lot!I used the ranger ink applicator for the first time at Corinne's workshop and guess what?NEED IT!We stamped on 3d wallpaper and the results were way cool!I must admit that i didn't do much during the last workshop since it was so HOT because of the heater that was broke and the airco that wasn't working.I couldn't really focus so i was chatting a lot with my girl Celine.This girl is so crazy,she was cracking me up all the time!

This is my favorite picture from the weekend!I'm doing "my pose" and Celine is looking like what the f*ck??Love it!
During dinner i was sitting together with my girls Silvia,Antoinette,Natasja,Nat,Anke and Celine.Seriously i was laughing so much i got a bad headache.But ow so worth it since i had the best time ever!These girls are so crazy and we were laughing so loud!The dinner was yummo,and i think i choose the perfect combo!I had a goat cheese salad for start,followed by chicken with french fries and ice cream for desert.Not really diet food,but who cares!

After that we had a crop but we were all wiped out so we didn't do much...We all bought some tickets for the lottery and we all won something!My friend Anke won the cool spindle with cards from all these fab designers.No i wasn't jealous or anything :D
Afterwards we went to the hotel we were staying,which turned out to be a hostel.I thought it was great!Only the vegetarian breakfast was disgusting!!

Next day we started of with the vintage mini album workshop by Celine.She brought these cool tree stamps,which i loved!Can't believe i didn't use them!We also did a workshop by Corinne using a custom made wooden album(verry cool) and a layout by Celine.I finished the layout yesterday!We used a Brayer for the paint on the background,and i used tape from the technique we learned the day before.I love the way it turned out!A mixture of Celine's style and mine.At lunch time we made some pictures outside.The weather was terrible and i looked like crap!!Oh well... :)
Sweet Danielle,the owner from memorylane Scrapbooking was there the whole weekend and her store was filled with yummo goodies.I bought some things,i was meaning to buy for a long time!

So to make a long story short,it was a really cool weekend filled with cool new and old friends,awesome workshops and yummo products.Can't wait for the next one!And for the people who weren't there...You misted out BIG TIME!LOL
Happy Scrapping!

Oh,the places you'll go!

That's the title i had to use for the new ScrapMojo challenge.It was a rough one since i didn't know the book,but youtube helped me out!I had so much fun making this page,i love the bright colors!I also love to cute out shapes from paper.I think it gives your layout a unique touch.The shape is inspired by the book from Dr.Seuss too!Go check out what the other girls did,they are ROCKIN these challenges!

Scrap-a-licious is almost here yay!SO many friends are coming over and i am really excited to see them!My friends Anke and Nat are coming all the wat from Germany,how cool is that?I did a photoswap with Anke,hope you like it my dear!!I used the OLW Time for this one.

Can't wait to see my cute friend Celine again.I havn't seen her for almost a year!So can't wait to hang out with her and my sweet friend Corinne.I am looking forward to the pyjama party i will be having with my friends Martine,Silvia,Antoinette and Anke.So i better do some shopping for that!!I bought some fabby PJ's from Ebay with cupcakes on it,but unfortunately they're not here jet.I better start shaving my legs...

And to all the other ladies who are going,come over and say HI!Love that :D

It's fun to see that so many people are inspired by our Amelie blog.I think it's going to be a great succes.And even if it doesn't,oh well we are having fun anyway!

So i had whole list i wanted to share,but now i can't think of any...I better start writing things down,these kids are eating my brain!I hope to be back before i leave.Going to be creative these upcoming days.And if i don't...Well then you have to wait for my LONG update from Scrap-a-licious.This is going to be a weekend to remember that's for sure!!Happy Scrapping

Does she inspires you?

Okay first of all...Sorry,i'm still a bad blogger!!I'm gonna work hard this week to change it,okay?Hope to visit all of your blogs this week and leave you nice comments.I have been working on asignments but i couldn't show anything!Now that's no fun right?But...Now i can,yay!
So remember this post?Well there wasn't much to see then,but there is now!I started this great challenge blog together with my girls;Larissa,Sofie,Cindy,Lucy,Celine,Dina and Rhian.It's called "inspired by Amelie" and as you may have guessed,it's based on the movie Amelie.It's a wonderful movie full of beautiful colors,music and idea's.So come on over and play with us!You must see what the other designers did with the first challenge,it's amazing...And if you havn't seen this movie,go rent it NOW!

Here is my layout.It's called "enjoy the little things from everyday life".

I love the little details that are being discussed that has nothing to do with the actual story.Amelie enjoy's these "crazy" things like sticking her hands in a bag of seeds and breaking the top of her creme brulee.She inspired me to look different at everyday life.Like for example,watching your children play and discover new things.

I can also show you my work for Fresh Pages Co. with the January kit.Beautiful kit,but it was a tough challenge for me since it had these beautiful soft colored papers in it and a lot of kraft.But you should def. check these kits out,they are so much fun!

And here is the announcement of my verry cool TOOT...I'm the new DT girl for SCRAPmojo!!Woohoo :) I love that blog!!And the girls are so fabulous.I also wan't to give a big shout out to the other new Mojo girls,huge congrats!These girls inspire me so much.And i have been wanting to do every challenge but "unfortunately" other things came up.But from now on,i can actually focus on it and really enjoy it!Can't wait to play play play!Will show you my layout for the new challenge,soon!

So what have you been doing?

He met his Hero!

We left friday night around 4 AM (European time) and arrived in Paris around 10 AM.The trip went well!Both kids behaved great and slept most of the time.We first went to the Carrefour and did some shopping.Seriously,i have no idea how these French people get to stay so thin with all of that yummy food!After that we went to the hotel and checked in.Around 12 AM it was time...We were off to Disneyland Paris!!The weather was nice,no sun but not cold.My mom bought me a passport and i am SO happy with it! :) When we entered the park we saw a train parade with all kinds of Disney characters,including Julian's hero Captain Hook.He cried his longs out when the captain left with the train.It was sad but also kinda funny LOL We first went to the castle from Sleeping Beauty and lookd at the dragon.Julian is a big fan of the dragon and the prince from Sleeping Beauty so he was pretty excited about seeying the dragon.After that we saw the sword in the stone,and ofcourse Julian had to try...He went on the carrousel with grandma(thank god!!) and picked out a horse.No suprise there.No idea why he likes horses so much,I think they're scary LOL At 4 PM it was time for the Once upon a dream parade.We had a great spot and Julian was sooo impressed by it all.Really cute to see!!And ofcourse the big Hero Hook was there too.He even got a handshake from a pirate and a big ribbon from the "treassure".Unfortunately Captain Hook was too far away for a handshake and you could see from Julian's face he was kinda dissapointed.We went to the boat from Captain Hook which as sooo boring Ha!But ofcourse our pirate fan totally loved it.We were all exhausted,so after we ate something we went to the hotel.We were all a sleep around 8.30 PM!!Next day we woke up early (suprise!!),ate some breakfast and checked out.Today we were going to the "new" park Walt Disney Studios and i was really curious since i had never been there before.The weather was REALLY beautiful,we were walking without our coats on...And it's still February!I thought the park was kinda cute,but not all that if you are used to the "real thing".It has many rollercoasters,so we couldn't go in there.I loved the Monsters Inc scene where you could take pictures with Mike.Julian and me went into the Cars attraction and it was great!Julian had a blast,that's for sure!While we were walking we spotted a big pair of black ears.Yes it was Mickey Mouse and ofcourse we needed a picture!I liked the kiss on the cheek so much,i'm eally glad i captured that.Next to it we found a rat from the new movie Ratetouille(Hope i spelled that right LOL),so ofcourse more pictures...Right before we wanted to leave the park,we saw a large group of people standing...It was Stitch,so i grabbed Julian and took a run for it!I'm good in pushing people so my turn came up quickly :D And suprise suprise,Lilo was standing next to him!So a little bit more pushing and some more pictures...Haha you must think i'm sort kind of witch now,well i am!So after that we went back to the "normal" Disney park and guess what?My battery went dead,so no more pictures for me!I said to my mom i didn't really care as long as we don't see Captain Hook.We wanted to do Pirates of the caribbean but it was sooo busy we decided not to.Then i spotted something.Ow no,is that what i think it is?Ofcourse...Yes MR.Captain Hook was standing right in front of us.I couldn't believe it!We were in Disney for two days and my battery went dead only 15 minutes ago!I had to try and make a picture!So we took another run of it and made a picture with "the Hero"!!Julian was totally overwhelmed and it was just amazing.He was talking about him 24/7 and now he was standing next to him.He shaked hands and just kept staring at him.I wanted to take a picture of him with Peter Pan too so we stand in line ofcourse.When two big girls came up,peter pushed them a side and said he was here for the little children.Then he pulled Julian next to him and smiled.My kind of Peter Pan :D Ofcourse i did my homework by smiling at Peter Pan before we were standing in line...We decided to do some shopping and then take our way back home.It was a fabulous weekend and can't wait to go back!

I made a layout a couple of weeks ago about our Disney in April last year.Sorry,terrible picture though...

I'm getting pretty excited about my weekend at Scrap-a-licious!Are you going?Happy Scrapping!

So remember the blog i showed you ;inspired by Amelie?Well this is so exciting!!I don't wan't to share much about it,but all i can say is...It's going to be amazing!!I have found some awesome girls from all over the world to join me on this journey,and you are going to LOVE them.(But you probably already do!)So be sure to keep an eye out for the first challenge and the fabulous girls!

I also wanted to share that i'm a new designer for KITTYROBOT.The owner Jodie makes these amazing buttons,and the designers get to use these on their layouts.Can't wait to have the little cuties in my hands :) You should really check them out if you are in to owls,cupcakes,rainbows,mushrooms etc.

Urban photoshoot+RAK winner

Last friday,i did a photoshoot of my brother at the skate park.I knew it was a cool place to take pictures,but i had no idea it was THIS cool.We only had little time because i had to pick up Julian from school,but the ones i took really turned out great.My brother is really the most crazy person in the world and he is just a natural when it comes to taking pictures.He comes up with the most fantastic stuff,i would never even think of.So we decided to go back the next day!I still have to load them on my computer...But i will put them up soon.Look at this cool tree,it's full of shoe's!!Guess it's time to reveal the winner...I let my father pick a number and he choose 23.So that makes Charlotte the winner!!Woohoo congrats girly,just email me and i'll send it out to you.But don't worry if you didn't win this time.I'm planning to do another RAK soon!!

Okay off to do more scrapbooking for Fresh Pages Co,be sure to check out my work on the site these upcoming months!

Slicker then your average,RAK time!

Woohoo more then 20.000 visitors!!That deserves a RAK,don't you think??Thank you all my blogging friends,i wish i could give you all a nice RAK but unfortunately i'm not Oprah Winfrey :) These are the worst picture ever!I know that,but i was in such a rush...So i made a list with all the supplies included.I made a RAK with some of my cute finds,and things i have been saving like forever to use for that "special" layout.I thought it was cooler to give away a non-scrapbooking RAK,instead of including all kinds of products you can get at your local scrapbook store...So just leave me a nice little message and maybe you win my fun RAK!?

Some things...

are just not meant to be.I had this feeling from the moment i entered for the SIStv fashionista call.I had so many deadlines and other stuff to do that i had to finish my layout for SIStv on the last moment.It didn't turned out like i planned and so i didn't make it to the next round.Which is okay since there's probably something else in store for me.Like i said,it just wasn't meant to be.But i'm still gonna show you my layout,since i know how curious you ladies can be :) I think i'm going to change the layout,since i do like the design.Any ideas are welcome!!By the way,this fab picture is taken by my friend Corinne Delis.
So Maxim has a new food schedule,and it's completely different then before.He has to eat something every 2-3 hours.So if you are wondering what i am doing all day...Well feeding my children!!The good part is,they both go to sleep at 8 PM and sleep till the next morning.Atleast Maxim did so on Mondag night,but last night he woke up like 10 times...
So here are a couple of pictures from my boys :)
Yes,yes i know.The cutest kids on earth right?They got that from their mom LOL I am probably forgetting something,but i can't remember so i'll be back soon!Happy Scrapping
