Westtour Madeira

Eindelijk had ik nog eens inspiratie om een layout voor mijn Madeira-album af te werken. Het is een overzichtspagina van een busexcursie die we maakten.

Worldwide Stamping Week

Yesterday was the last day of the Worldwide Stamping Week organised on 2peas. I had a lot of fun with the challenges and created a lot of cards. Because I wanted to have a line in the cards I made for WSW I used the same size for all of them (10,5x10,5cm). I don't like all of them, but I tried a lot of new techniques, used new stamps and enjoyed myself this week.

A Garden of Memories

You should definitely browse through her archive and be inspired!

Double challenge

http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/friday-sketchers-week-6.html

=> sketch

http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/2008/06/challenge-14.html

=> 3 different types of embellishments

A rainy Sundayafternoon in Belgium, so time do make another card.

The sketch wasn't really my thing because of the circles, but I wanted to give it a try with my coluzzle.

For the other challenge I added some flowers and brads to my card. The ribbon was already there.

opbergen stempels

Aangezien mijn stempelcollectie zich stilaan begint uit te breiden, moest ik op zoek naar een nieuw opbergsysteem. Een open kast leek mij niet praktisch aangezien dat veel te veel werk is om af te stoffen. En toen zag ik deze dozen in de Wibra staan. Ze zijn eigenlijk bedoeld voor charcuterie, en ik dacht dat de hoogte perfect zou zijn voor mijn gemonteerde stempels. Ze kostten maar 1€ (denk ik) en ze zijn gemakkelijk te stapelen. Ik moet er nog wel labels opplakken zodat ik direct zie welke doos ik nodig heb. Een ideaal systeem voor mij!

Penny Black Challenge

http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/2008/06/challenge-1-first-penny-black-stamp.html

=> use the first Penny Black stamp you bought

http://kimmerbe.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/a-hoot-a-toot/

=> scraplift this card

Since I only recently started stamping I remember my first Penny Black stamp very well. Although I like them a lot, I only got two of these great stamps. Starting stamping is pretty expensive, but I'm planning on expanding my collection very soon.

I still like this one a lot and have used it on several cards. I used Kim's card as inspiration for this one. I don't know for which occasion I will use it, so I didn't put a sentiment on it yet.

Tania's blog candy

http://poekietoe.blogspot.com/2008/06/friday-13th-blog-candy.html

Tania geeft 2 fantastische stempels van Justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet weg. Ga een kijkje nemen op haar blog en waag je kans voor volgende week vrijdag!

2 challenges in 1!

http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2008/06/drink-up.html
=> Make a beverage-themed card!

http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2008/06/13/weekend-sketch-challenge-52/
=> sketch!

I've combined these two challenge in this card:

nieuwe layout!

Vorige week was ik al met deze layout begonnen, maar vandaag heb ik hem afgewerkt.

P.S. Ik was nog vergeten vermelden dat ik me voor de linkerpagina gebaseerd heb op schets 21 van de Creanijn schetsenblog (http://creanijn-sketches.blogspot.com/2008/05/schets-21.html). Voor de rechterpagina had ik te veel foto's, dus die heb ik volledig aangepast.

Shoppen in Nederland!

Als hoogtepunt van een week verlof met rotslecht weer ben ik gisteren gaan scrapbookshoppen naar Scrap-I-do ('s Hertogenbosch) en Scrapland (Breda). Ik heb me eens goed laten gaan en ben met een massa nieuwe spulletjes teruggekeerd. Vooral met m'n papier hoop ik nu een tijdje voort te kunnen :)

Karin's blog candy

http://karinhoeve.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-own-blogcandy.html

Om te vieren dat op 12 juni een nieuwe challenge blog start (http://dutchdare.blogspot.com/), geeft Karin blog candy weg. Ga zeker een kijkje nemen op haar blog en vergeet donderdag de eerste challenge niet!

Another colour challenge!

http://louisestoo.blogspot.com/2008/05/sbs9-colour-challenge.html


Another colour challenge, this time we had to use BLUE & GREEN!
I used a sketch from Scrappers Anonimous, a Dutch forum which I only recently joined (http://scrappersanonimous.yourbb.nl/index.php). Unfortunately I didn't have the right pencils for colouring the image, but I'm saving for a huge box of Derwent pencils. So this will become better in the future :)

Challenge 2: A Colour Theme

http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/2008/06/challenge-2-colour-theme.html


I never did a color challenge before, and it took me quite some time to find patterned papers with only pink, green and blue. But I'm very happy with this result:

Page Plan Sketch 7

http://dragonflytime.typepad.com/page_plans/2008/06/page-plans-sket.html

A simple sketch, but it was not easy for me. I tried a lot of things and this was the result: a birthday card for my mother's friend who's celebrating her 95th birthday next Saturday!

Candy ontvangen!

Vandaag zaten 2 pakjes gewonnen candy in de brievenbus, dus kon mijn dag niet meer kapot, ondanks het slechte weer tijdens mijn verlof!


Het eerste kwam van Charlie: enkele stempelafdrukjes. Zondag gewonnen en nu al ontvangen! (http://hjemmehoscharlie.blogspot.com/)



Het tweede pakje was de stempel die ik gewonnen had op Justjohanna's Earth Day, en er zat zelfs een extra stempel bij! (http://www.justjohanna.com/)

Kim's challenge

http://kimmerbe.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/candy/

"All you have to do is create a card using any one of the cards within this post as inspiration"

When I read the blog a second time I found out that I scraplifted Tamara's card. I hope this counts since it was also showed in that post. I'm happy about the patterned paper combination, but not so about the text (which I forgot and had to write after I finished the card) and the flowers.

Theresa's challenge

http://craftingtheweb.blogspot.com/2008/05/challenge-and-swiss-dots-candy-blog.html

I've never made a special folded card, so when I saw Theresa's challenge to make a criss cross card I thought this would be the perfect time to try one. I wanted to calculate the inches on the pattern into centimeters, but the result seemed not right, so I took my own measurements. This resulted in a pretty small card (10cm x10cm), but I like it a lot!

Snelle layout

Gisteren op een rappeke een layout gemaakt van deze kerk die we toevallig tegenkwamen en zelfs niet in onze reisgids vermeld werd.

Scraplift of Helene

http://helene2311scrap.over-blog.com/article-11926937.html


I had no inspiration for these pictures of a graveyard on Madeira. The place wasn't sad as you would expect, but rather hopefull with lots of flowers, like everywhere on this island.
Since I like Helene's work a lot, I browsed through her blog and found a great layout to scraplift. I normally keep my pages quite simple but I loved doing this freestyle for once and it really suits the feeling we had on that place.
