Baby boy card

I've been such a bad blogger and cardmaker lately :(

This is the only card I created during this last month. It was for a collegue's first grandson (after 2 granddaughters): Mauro.
I scraplifted this idea from a great Dutch cardmaker: http://nancyvandenberg.blogspot.com/

I hope to be back soon with some new cards!

Stamp Something Challenge: Anything Goes

I've been on a holiday to Spain, so it's been a while since my last post. I had a fantastic time there, but back to reality now. I'm entering this card in the Stamp Something Challenge (http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ ). I think this is my best Copic coloured image so far. Mostly it ends up darker than intended, but I hope you can clearly see the different shades here :) It was already a bit dark when I took this picture, so sorry for the bad quality.

Sketch Saturday

I heard in the news that Belgium is the warmest place of Europe, so the weather is perfect for some crafting outside! Although the little wind makes it difficult sometimes :) I worked with the sketch from Sketch Saturday. I changed it to a rectangle card ('cause postage is double for square cards in Belgium). This also meant I had less space for the 3 embellishements, so I moved them to the corner. I'm quite satisfied with the result, although I think the orange part would have been better a bit bigger.

Paris: Champs-Elysées

http://creanijn-sketches.blogspot.com/ I'm actually getting to the end of my second scrapbook album ever:) I still have 2 double and 2 single layouts to go :) This layout is about the Champs-Elysées. The name says enough so I didn't add extra journaling. There is not a lot of colour in the pictures, so it was not easy to choose a colour scheme. I've finally choosen yellow-gold cardstock to reflect the glamour, although I have to admit I'm not really impressed with this avenue.

Paris: Jardin des plantes

This layout goes perfect with spring temperatures of the last days:) I've choosen patterned paper with flowers as this layout goes about the botanical garden of Paris, a really nice place to hang out for a couple of hours. I've worked again with a great sketch from Vicky. If you like sketches you should definitely check this great blog: http://creanijn-sketches.blogspot.com/. Something seems to be wrong with my recent posts. If I put an 'enter' to start a new line, blogger doesn't save this. I've found out this is a browser related problem, only with Internet Explorer. As solution they advise to temporarily use another browser, but I really don't know how I should do this. Hopefully this problem will soon be solved, but untill then my posts will look a bit weird :(
