layouts
Have been "creative" for a few weeks right now and like to show you some more I made...
This time it's layout time.
First we have a layout of the London Eye... wowie.... wanna go back there as soon as possible! Love London so much!!
I'm not that satisfied about this one, but I set myself a challenge to only use blue for this layout (and white cardstock).
And that's where this little problem came.... I hardly have any blue paper! Came to the conclusion I mostly have the more natural colours and girly colours *lol*
I must admit I have some blue papers, but they are winterpapers...
This blue paper of KI Memories has been here for a few years and finally used it.
Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: KI Memories; Ribbon: SU; Buttons: own stash; Cotton Cord: Rayher; Thread: own stash
Here's a layout I made with a weddingphoto I made during a photoshoot at a friend's wedding a few years back. I've learned so much that shoot and enjoyed myself very much.
Here's a detail with the flowers and bling-bling...
Here's the layout in totall (sorry, but blurred the bride's face for privacy...)
Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Basic Grey; Flowers and bling-bling: Prima; Brads: own stash; Chipboard letters: American Crafts; Ink: Colorbox

Scrapgoodies!!
Today I went with my mother to a craftsfair nearby.
Bought some lovely papers, 2 punches (and one of them I can use for some Stampin'Up stamps I received last week..yeah!!), rub-ons (really, and I mean really cheap!!), flowers, Prima Swirls, Magnolia stamp, Prima flowers and some other stamps....
Also bought the Allissa-line of Bo Bunny... already bought those papers, but already used them a lot for cards, so this is the first line I bought twice as I needed a bit more *lol*... love it!!
Yesterday evening I had an online crop and working with a skech is what I just love.
Here's what I've created...

Big Ben layout
Seeing all my Londonphotos I took last March, I want to go back a soon as possible!
29th March I was a tourist, walking around Westminister, taking loads of photos and here's a layout I made with some photos of Big Ben.
Made this layout during yesterday evening's online crop at Creating Memorys.

This is why I scrap...
Yesterday-evening and today was saying goodbye to my grandmother.
It was so lovely and it felt good. Just like I wrote before, no more pain, no more sorrow.
She will be missed, but it's ok, she had a beautifull life with loads of painfull and joyfull memories and seeing someone in so much pain... it was her time to say goodbye and be with her beloved ones on the other side.
Today, in the morning, the sun was shining really good, but just after noon it came colder and windier.
But when my grandmother arrived at church the sun was coming through the clouds, shining heavier than before and hasn't stopped shining since.
It was so beautifull and felt so warm inside.
And why I called this blogentry "This is why I scrap"??
The family had a photo of grandma, but an aunt didn't like it and said I had made a better, one that really captured grandma like she was. So she told her son to find it at the computer and when it was found, she was sending it to the others telling that this photo was better, more grandma.
And yesterday my father told me that photo was on her coffin.
Never thought a photograph could be so meaningfull for people, except me, who took that one.
And that's why I scrap... not only for myself, but also for others to remember, cherish the beautifull (and sadfull) moments in life. Just the little things that life makes so beautifull.
And we were talking about it after the funeral and there were so many people who agreed, but never thought of that before. Just the little things....
People thought I was crazy to take photos of the most weird (in their eyes) things, like things around your house, photos of clothes, etc. etc. Capture things in their reality, the little things that makes life so beautifull. But now they know better... why I do it and hopefully it opened a few eyes to cherish the simple, little things...

Shopaholic is my middle name ;)
This weekend, there was the Art Specially Event in Zeist with loads of scrapbooking- and stampingshops. You could also follow loads of (free!!) workshops as well.
Went there for the first time and wow!!! It was soooooooooo amazingly cool to be there with shops having the items you really, really like and want!
Didn't follow any workshops, as I wanted to go to Paper & Pictures as well as they had their re-opening and wow.... what a great store!!
Anyways... here are the items I bought at the Art Specially Event. Will be there next year as well, but probably will go the whole weekend as there was so much to do and see. And wow...the organisation was just fabulous!! *hands up!*
Here are some stamps... Penny Black, HouseMouse, Flower Fairies and Imaginisce.
More stamps... Cut of the wings of the boy-stamp as I wanna use it for Holy Communion cards and just... well, didn't like the wings at all *blush*
Some papers... As well as for scrapbooking as making cards.
Some cutiepatootie Prima swirls, though I don't really am a "bling-bling"-girlie, but sometimes it's just the finishing touch to layouts.

Magnolia also had a stand at the Event and wow.... just couldn't resist myself for buying some stamps. Already have been creating some Spring and Eastercards with them today. (like I don't have enough Magnolia-stamps already *lol*)
Some baubles (love those!!), buttons and loads more Prima flowers (though I "only" bought 3, got the 4th one free). Also some home deco to scrap.

After the Event, I went to Paper & Pictures and my basket was filled with loads of great items real soon. Really love this shop and hope to come back again soon.
Some Imaginisce, Prima and Sassafrass papers...
Really love the monkey-papers!
Can't wait to scrap some zoo-pictures with these! Bought the frogpapers for some stamps I already have of Penny Black with frogs on it.
Some baubles (love those!!), buttons and loads more Prima flowers (though I "only" bought 3, got the 4th one free). Also some home deco to scrap.
Really love the new Paper & Pictures shop. It's warm, friendly, really beautiful with loads of greats items in it, as well as home deco as scrapbooking/cards ones.
By the way... this Thursday there will be an online crop at Creating Memorys. It would be great if we could meet overthere.

It's been...
SNOWING today!!
I went to a craftsfair today (only a 20 minute drive by bike for me...) and when I went there it only rained just really minimal, but when I left the fair at about 13.15 it snowed (even though the streets weren't white)!!
Yahoo!!!
Went to the supermarket to buy some to eat and drink, and when I stopped there, I was like a snowgirl...all white, but the streets...still not white until I came out the supermarket!
It was snowing! And I just love it! I really felt happy today when I saw all the snow coming down.
Right now it's raining and there's hardly any snow left, but hee... the weathermen predicted there will be loads of snow tomorrow where I live! *YAHOO!!*
Here's a bit of a "snowimpression"...
This one is taken from my balcony...

These little ones will come out in Spring... some daffodills and "blauw druifjes". I just love how these photos came out with the water on the leaves.
And this is what I totally love... candles! Just put some new ones on the plate. I love the atmosphere when there are some candles.
Helped Tessa out this Saturday on the fair and it was great to do it! She had 2 bouths with everything on sale!
And this is what I bought at the craftsfair...
Patterns to make the following things... Will buy the things I need this Thursday at a shop nearby.
On the first photo you can see two dolls dressed like "Appelflappen" which is what we eat in The Netherlands with New Year's Eve. Love to make them myself!
If interested, I can put down the receipe to make it...
And we also eat "Oliebollen" with New Year's Eve. Love them, but when I ate 2 of them, it's quite enough, while I can eat the Appelflappen the whole day *LOL*
This one is a complete one... Hopefully I can hang them in my Christmastree this year.
And this is the "scrappy"-part of what I bought... not that much in comparison with the Kreadoe, but that's ok. Bought a lot of this for 50%. I just love bargains! *LOL*
Helped Tessa out this Saturday on the fair and it was great to do it! She had 2 bouths with everything on sale!Got some items from her for helping her out. Tessa, it was no problem! Loved it!
Have been making some more Christmassy items for the Christmasfair 6th December. Love them!
Have to get more items and I think I will make it in time, at least I hope so ;)

SAG
The last SAG... maybe forever?? I defenately not hope so, as this Saturday I enjoyed myself the best I could.
Did some awesome workshops, like the 2 of Karen Burniston (Joker's Wild & Oh Tannenbaum) which are absolutely great!!
Also liked the Poppetology workshop of Lucy a lot!!! Really, really lovely and I will finish this one this weekend.
Also did a workshop by Michelle van Etten. Already followed a workshop of her earlier this year, but this one..uhh... it was great if you didn't do this kind of thing already at home, and I did... so I thought it was ok, but nothing new for me.
Did a workshop with Cheryl Mezzetti (??) and she's a really lovely person. The workshop..uhhhmm... liked it, but not "that".
Had marvelous food all day, and the chocolate cupcakes were jummie!!!
It was so nice to see many people back, including Mary, a really sweet granny from the UK.
Mary... we'll defenately keep in touch! :)
And Lynn... you're always welcome here!!
Thank you all so much for a marvelous, never to forget, day!!
Hopefully we'll be meeting each other real soon again. Love ya!!
Did not take my camera with me, as I had to travel by bike and I already had my tote with me and my cropbag. Seeing myself with another large camerabag wasn't my thing...

Kreadoe 2008
Yesterday, I went to the Kreadoe, a craftsfair, and I sooooooo enjoyed it!!
I just love October Afternoon paper!! Bought the Christmasline with some stickers... love it!! Specially the paper with the musicnotes.
What do you think about the newest Sassafrass-line?! I love it and can't wait to cut the papers with the gingerbreaddoll on it!
Offcourse I also bought some more..hehe... some cool Christmasstamps, a Cuttlebug embossingfolder, some prima flowers, some Magnolia-stamps (wow!! I still so love them!!), cute ribbons (they were on sale) and cool fabrics (love to make a project with it).
Some more October Afternoonpapers... Weathervane.
Creative Imaginations papers and transparency papers... love to make a Christmas clearalbum with it!
I also bought a lot of Bazzill (uhhmmm... I'm a totally obsessed Bazzill-freak *lol*). There was a shop with loads of Bazzill for under 30 cents a paper... that's cheap!!
Been there from 10 am till 4 pm and bought some very, very nice items :)
Just look at the BigShot... isn't it cool and lovely with that black and pink?? I do think so!
I have my "old & red" Sizzix machine, but have some dies I can't use (like the Bigz). I can use them in my mom's Cuttlebug, but I saw some very, very nice Stampin'Up dies I'd like to have, the extended ones, but the platforms can't go through the Cuttlebug, so I "just" bought this very, very lovely machine!! Wowie!! I also love the Prima Marketing line PEACHES a lot (look at those cutypaatootie pandabears!!) and found it at Kreadoe. The shop I wanted to buy the papers, didn't have the pandabearpaper anymore, but found another one... sooooooooooooo lucky!!

So I bought a lot, but I have to tell you I bought a lot for shops prices or under for sale...not bad *lol*
Really enjoyed myself and hope to go to Kreadoe next year. Totally love it! Also to see loads of other crafts like "vilten" (dunno the English word for it), making cakes, making home deco-items with fabrics, and so on....

Nothing to show you yet...
That's because I've been working on my Dad's 60th Birthday Album the last couple of weeks.
It's been a blast working on that album with all those cool photos of familymembers, even my great grandfather and mother are in there!! Very lovely!!
Gave the album last Wednesday, made it very clean and simple, so the photos are the focal point and wow..... it was just great giving it!!
This weekend I've been working on my household...ironing, cleaning a bit and making loads more of Christmascards. Already made about 50 the last couple of weeks, but I just have to...
And I really need more, as I will be on a fair the 6th December, selling Christmasstuff (it's a fleamarket, but you can also sell some handmade gifts...). So I really need more *lol*
Today I got an email from the organizers of Scrap-a-Ganza, a great scrapbookingevent overhere, saying they will not organize an event in 2009.
I've been there a couple of times, my latest SAG was last June, and I really enjoyed all the times I went. Love meeting people from abroad!
And I also like the workshops! Workshops by Karen Burniston, Making Memories, CD Muckosky, etc. etc.... really cool!!
Fortunately I will be at SAG for the last time on 15th November! Can't wait to be there and meet old friends.
Will only be there for one day, but that's ok... got some great workshops to look out for.
Well... gotta go... nothing to show you right now...
Hope to do this next week...
