HOT HOT HOT!

Seriously,why does everything always have to be extreme in Holland?Talking about the weather here...Seriously it was HOT today!And that after a week of rain rain and more rain.I saw kids playing in swimming pools.Not sure if it was THAT hot,but maybe it was,cause i was really dying outside.I just can't stand it when it's so hot.On the other hand i hate the rain...So yeah i am a complainer...But seriously it's Spring!!It's supposed to be nice and sunny with a light brease...Not hiding inside,away from the sun!LOL

Well enough about the weather.I finished two layouts i started last weekend,yay!

Life can be Enchanted.Well my life has been crap for a long time(still is now and then...),but i like to keep it possitive.I made this "fairytale" layout,to remind me that life CAN be Enchanted.(I need a lot of reminders)Just have to focus more on the little things.I used one of the Angie Delarie Cinderella tags on this.This one is about my brother and his girlfriend.They were here,together in 2008.So if someone finds my scrapbook in 2200 they would know "they" were here in 2008...Makes any sense,no?Hmmm okay moving on.(freakshow...)

Julian and i made homemade cookies.Well i am not a really good baker(like my mom),but they turned out fine.Not better then the store bought ones,but good for a first timer!Atleast we enjoyed ourself yesterday! :)My mom also started a blog.It's called contagious,for her (cup) cake addiction.She is really good!

I have a TOOT coming up,fun fun fun.Waiting for permission to share!So i'll be back...

HappyScrapping!

A productive weekend indeed!!+TOOT

My crop weekend at Martine turned out quite productive!We often end up chatting the whole evening,but we actually did some scrapbooking this time!It's always fun to see how different our styles are.Which is strange,since we like the same stuff!I will show you three layouts now,and some more later this week.Gotta save some eyecandy!


These pictures are some of my favorites from Julian.I love the vintage look it has,and that cap...i just love it!I used the title Nature Boy,inspired by the song from Nat King Cole.Such a beautiful song!I am still in doubt if i should some of the lyrics as my journaling...Maybe i'll add it later.This is one of my "just do it" pages...I burned my paper,used aluminum foil,teared kraft paper from an envelop etc.(Thanks Martine!)You know...A have fun page!!I simply can't get enough of this color combo too.And a kiddy page for Maxim.These are kinda hard for me,but i like how it turned out.And i used one of those Jolee stickers...WOW,somebody call the newspaper!!I never use Jolee's,they are just so hard to use.I think they are super cute though...And it's a Disney page.I believe you can use anything you like on a Disney page :)I also have two TOOTS to share.One of my layouts is going to get published in an Australian magazine,and two of my layouts in an American magazine.I won't spoil everything jet,but i will share everything with you when the magazines arrive :)

Martine took some pictures from me while i was staying at her place,and they turned out really cool.Atleast i like them...Now i can't wait to see the ones i took from her!! This is my fave!Gotta love the attitude :)Not a real flattering outfit,but oh well :)


Thanks for looking everyone,happy scrapping!

I Love Bam Pop!

So the people who have been following my blog,know that i have been a Bam Pop! fan for a long time!I loved their stuff from the beginning.So i thought it was time to make an ode to my favorite Scrapbook company.Hope they like it!!
I'm going to scrapbook this whole weekend,so much fun!I hope Martine is ready for it :D
In my next post,i will share some toots with you,yay!
Thanks for looking,happy scrapping!

photoswap time!

So i did two photoswaps,one on SIS and one with my awesome friend Roberta!

This is the layout i made for SIS Amy Gleason.I used the OLW Ready for this one.I pimped up her picture,hope she likey!Such a gorgeous shot...And eventhough i am not good in scrapping action pictures,i had a lot of fun with this one!!

This was my first random photoswap.I only swapped with friends before,so i hope she will like it.This is the layout for Roberta a.k.a. ladybastard.She is totally Kawaii in every single way...Love her,and i hope she likes this!!I def. had fun playing with her awesome picture and all the cute Kawaii stuff :)And last but not least(I hope...hihi),my retro page.Wanted to keep it simple and focus on the picture.I used my sewing machine again,yay!!!So good to have him back...

I took a little break from the unpacking.It was getting so frustrating,i will continue with it tomorrow.Today is scrapbooking day...Same as yesterday :)

Gotta tell you something funny.We were in a real hurry getting ready for school(as usual),and as i was putting on Julian's shoe's i was getting really frustrated because i couldn't get them on.Now it's a fact that All Stars are a disaster to get on,especially kids.So when i gave up and took off the shoe,a little play car fell out.I had to laugh out loud!!Crazy kid...Why didn't he say something?Oh well...something nice for the scrapbooks :)

Happy Scrapping!

Pimp my Blog

My blog needed some changes...It was getting way too boring!!So i changed my background(totally luv the lion lady!!)and my banner.I think they match together very well.Maybe one day when i found time to learn photoshop,i can make a professional banner :)

So the last couple of day's i have been unpacking,sorting and moving things in my house.My whole house was filled with boxes and garbage bags.It was so frustrating!!I actually started crying once,because i didn't know where to look for it anymore.There was stuff laying around everywhere!I moved all the boxes to my scrap room,because i needed an empty livingroom.Feels better now!Although i am kinda hiding from my scraproom now...

Luckily i made a layout before all my stuff arrived,so i have something to show you :)

So what i wanted to ask you Scrapbookers...What are your all time favorite Scrapbook brands?

Mine is 100% BamPop,i love all of their stuff!And i can't wait for the new stuff coming out...I also love the amazing ScrapDiary pp,their stuff is so amazing!!!!!But since i am into all the shabby chic stuff now a day's,brands like Melissa Frances and Tim Holtz also catch my eye.

Well thanks for looking and Happy scrapping!

carnaval 2009

Went for the retro look...Played with Gesso on top,i'm addicted to it.Not the most charming picture(I look like a man!!),but hey...I scrap it all! I am feeling kinda sick...I have this nasty cold,think i got it from my kids.Such a bummer since the weather is soooo nice!

We went to the playground yesterday.It was so much fun,untill...Maxim walked away!I totally freaked out because i couldnt find him anymore.And then a mom brought him to me...Such a relief!Hated him at that moment though.It's my own fault i know...I turned around to check on Julian and the next minute when i turned around,Mr.Maxim was gone.Ofcourse they didnt want to play with the same things.Sooo next time its going to be the little playground again!!

Tomorrow my parents are bringing my stuff over.When i moved here,i didn't bring all my stuff...So now it's coming for me!!My house is going to be exploded,that's for sure.I am one of those people that just can't throw away stuff...Now i HAVE too!!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend,happy scrapping!

frendz (KITTYROBOT)

I made this layout using some of the new pictures from my boy's.I went for a Graffiti/Urban look,with lot's of paint and colors.I also used buttons from KITTYROBOT!!The pink mesh on top is Anti-Slip :)

My friend Marieke made an incredible layout using Julian's picture.She used her own products from Marieke Vermeulen Designs for it,and as you can see...They are very cute!

Hope you all had a great weekend.Happy Scrapping!!

If nothing...

ever changed,there'd be no butterflies.
-unknown-

This is my new thing...I am totally into the whole Shabby chic look.Pastels,lace,pearls,bring it on!!Happy Scrapping!

inspired by Amelie Letter challenge

The new challenge @ inspired by Amelie is online.It's all about letters!Come along and play,we have a great price by A Million Memories.An awesome kitclub with cheap International postage!

I played around with some paint and gesso.WOW finally some real scrapbooking!I was done with the "quickies".... :) I like how this one turned out.I really enjoyed using all the clothing tags!! I recieved this blog award from my friend Miranda.Thank you so much!!I feel like i don't really deserve it,since i've been such a terrible blogger in the past...But it makes me really happy to have friends that still read my blog after all this time and all the non blogging!I am waiting for my new pictures to arrive...New pictures alway's give me some creative boost!!
Sooo,i'll be back.Happy Scrapping!

If i could rule the world (ScrapMojo)

Rock Star!!

Yesterday i decided to make some Rock pictures of Julian.I was LOL seeying him in his skinny jeans.He thought it was pretty cool :)This is his Rock face...

We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary on the Amelie blog.We are giving away fabulous prizes and are doing some fun challenges.be sure to check it out!

Picture update!

It has been a long time since i updated with some pictures.I didn't have any new ones,because i was too lazy to go outside and take some.(Not afraid to admit it!!) The weather has been terrible,and i can't stand the rain!We didn't do a lot these past day's,but yesterday i needed to go to the city and i brought my camera with me.We went to the skatepark,but unfortunately the graffiti in Lelystad sucks...My boy's look cool anyway :)

Quickies!

I have alway's been a fan of scrapbooking "weird" topics.The things that make you laugh out loud when you think back at them,or those moments that were sooo embarrassing ;)

Ofcourse we all scrapbook about important events in our lifes,but i like to remember the "weird' things too...So if you have a layout about a weird topic,please link them.I would LOVE to see!!

This is one of those "weird" topics...The messy room from my brother.He is totally going to hate me for this because he had no idea i even made these pictures... :) I made this page in honor of my loverboy Mc.Dreamy.He is sooo cute,and i wish i could drink a cup of thee with him... :)

Both quickies,which was kinda fun.Happy Scrapping!

Love yourself

There were times that i hated myself.I thought i was just plain ugly,stupid and fat.Through the years i learned to love myself and accept who i was.I still have moments that i totally hate myself(When i stuff down a 2nd peace of cake!!),but most of the time i just love who i am.I am blessed with 2 beautiful kids,that i adore too much!I feel better about myself since i lost some weight.Still hoping to loose some more...but that will never change LOL ofcourse i am still busy getting my life on track,but i hope that when everything is settled i will be truly happy again.

So this layout is just one of those pages to remind myself of something.Love yourself!

Off to do some more scrappage now.Happy scrapping!!

Carnaval...so NOT my thing!

Yes,i went to Carnaval with my brother and his girlfriend Andrea.We watched the parade,which was way boring!I mean come on,look at the brazilian carnaval and then look at the Dutch carnaval...Seriously??!!

Afterwards i went to my brothers place to "chill" and eat.It looked great and comfy,fits my brother that's for sure.Around 7Pm we went to the city looking like this!Notice my brother didn't catch much sleep the night before.LOL Andrea went as a girls scout,totally cute!My brother went as Super Mario and i went as a "sexy" (UHUM) Secretary.Totally hate that 2nd picture of me,but oh well...It was sooooo crowded!We didn't really enjoy ourselfs so we were home around 12!!WOW a new record ha!

We watched a movie and went to bed.Guess Carnaval just isn't it for some people?Oh well,maybe next year we give it another try :)

The next day my brother and i went to my mom's for a sleep over.We had a really great evening with lots of laughs and alcohol hihi
Didn't do any scrapbooking but i can show you my layout for the ScrapMojo challenge.Didn't use stitching for a long time...Kinda liked it,so you'll might see that again on my next layouts...

Julian is finally getting potty trained!I tried everything,but nothing worked.He just didn't care LOL It is going really well and i hope he will be done with the diapers very soon!

Okay that's about it,nothing more to share...i think.Happy Scrapping!

Autumn

Yes,i'm probably the only one who is making Autumn layouts around this time of year...But,ask me if i care?Love this picture of my boy's.And eventhough they don't really look a like,they are obviously brothers.They are alway's playing and having fun together.I am not really an Autumn fan so these layouts are rare :)

Yesterday i wen't to my mom because i am staying here for a couple of day's.On Saturday i am going to stay at my brother's new "crib".Very curious to see how it looks!We are going to the carnaval,so i am guessing we will make some pictures to show you afterwards.

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrapping!

Don't look for Mr.Right,look for Mr.Right now.

My favorite quote from the movie 'The sweetest thing'.A really great girly movie with Christina Applegate,Cameron Diaz and Selma Blair.I made this layout to remind myself to just enjoy dating and stuff,and stop looking for that Mr.Right!I used the prince playing card from Heidi Swapp(Thanks Larissa!),and turned him into a "regular guy".The notebook paper is from a magazine called Flow.Seriously can't get enough of that magazine...I used my tiny alphabet stamps again.And eventhough i can't stamp straight,i love using them a lot!

Happy Scrapping!

No internet...SUCKS!

It has been FOREVER!I know that...I didn't have internet connection,and i was going CRAZY!But i'm back and can't wait to visit all my bloggin friends again :D

Havn't done a lot lately...Had some dates with a nice boy,so that was fun!I am not a big fan of dating since i alway's feel like it's some "meet inspection".But i might change my mind about this one ;)

Alway's wanted to be on a great Design Team??Well good news for you!ScrapMojo is having a Design Team call,and if i were you...I would totally apply!!I LOVE being part of this team,these girls are amazing.

Did some scrapbooking,but not much...Hope i am not loosing my groove!!Well i have had a lot on my plate,so i guess i am still busy on my comeback.Too bad it's taking longer then i expect.I guess it comes and goes with fases.

Anyway,here they are,hope you like them!I am probably forgetting something...But hey,this way i can update tomorrow :)

Happy Scrapping!xoxo Fauve

p.s.Will i get something for Valentines???
