Twin Birthday

Can you belive it?! The twins turn 3 today!

We spend wonderful hours twinsitting and having

fun with these two boys. We cannot believe how time flies.

We LOVE Colin and Aiden and wish them 

happy hapy happy birthday!!

These are the cards I made for them,

fun little monsters.

For the monsters I used the owl punch by 

Stampin'Up! and the number 3 is a thinlit

also by Stampin'Up!.

The sentiment is a digital one by Create with TLC.

Now I am of to the party!

Club Scrap Firecracker Linky Party

It is that time of the month again that we share

with you our projects with this month 

Club Scrap kit: Firecracker.

If you have been following me, you know I have used this kit to scrap

the wedding pictures of my niece. For this linky party I made a 

fotoframe card/ boxframe card and i did this before. So have a 

a look at another blog post HERE for all the measurements.

The frame is 6 x 6 inch.

To decorate the frame, I printed the blue and red 

design from the Firecracker hybrid kit to make

the rosettes. Also I used the rubber stamps for 

some more firework decorations.

I love this sentiment, it fits perfectly 

with the picture.

As it is a wedding the frame of course needs

a lot of bling, these are from my stash.

For stamping I used red and blue markers directly

on the stamp to create these fireworks.

To make the card stand up I added a strip of

6 x 12 inch folded in half taped to the back.

TRhank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Summer is here!

Even though today is the first day of Summer

it is also midsummer, meaning the Sun is at it's highest

altitude in the year on the Northen Hemisphere.

So time to celebrate Summer with a card.

For my card I used the Club Scrap Hybrid Firecrackers

kit and the rubber stamps. The papers are from the 

Shibori kit. The sticky gemstones from my stsh.

 The pinwheels are made out of printed red and blue paper

and cut in little square pieces of 2 x 2 inch. 

I have made these pinwheels before and you find

a detailed tutorial here.

The sticks of the pinwheels are a stamp from the

rubber Firecrackers stamps as well as the

word "celebrate". The word Summer is from the

Club Scrap Just Dany kit (July 2011).

I want to enter my card in the 

Bright and Cheerful challenge on the

SimonSaysStamp Wednesday Blog.

I hope you all have a wonderful Summer.

Thanks for looking and

have a creative day!

Happy Father's Day!

Here you see my little goodie for

my husband, a very good dad of 2 

plus bonus 2, in total 4 daughters.

I made a tag to go with the present.

I know my dh has enough socks, but when I noticed

these, I just had to have them!

I knew i had this fun stampset from Stampin'Up!

called "Everyday Hero". 

It is a set from last years catalogue.

For the tag, I used versafine black ink

and the colorors are oxide distress inks

mermaid lagoon, candied apple and 

squeezed lemonade.

The super hero is colored with zig markers.

Wishing all DAD's a wonderful day!

CAS(E) this Sketch retro #3

Today I share with you my card for

a sketch challenge.

The image I used i won as a prize on the coffeelovers blog hop.

This is the sketch from the

CAS(E) this Sketch blog.

These are the digital stamps I won from

GraciellieDesign

Also a $10,- voucher to choose some more

The background paper is by Stampin'Up!

The cup with flowers is colored with my zig markers

and I added glossy accent to the cup.

The image is cut by hand...still thinking about

that cameo......

The coffee ring on top is a thinlit from Sizzix

I recently purchased.

Club Scrap monthly sketch challenge

Here is my card for the monthly

Club Scrap card challenge.

This is the sketch for June

and I used it by turning it 45 degrees.

What I love to do is to pick one of my

pizza boxes with past papers and use it

to make the card. This time my hand grabbed

the Shibori box from April 2018 and see

what I have left.

I started the card with the use of the stencil that 

came with this kit and used two colors of

blue Club Scrap inkpads.

When the background was finished I found a piece

of the cut aparts and fastned this with the

washi tape that also came with the kit.

I was going to stamp a sentiment, but then

this piece of cut aparts was also left in the box

and after adding some dark blue paper behindit,

 it fit the card perfectly. 

Great sentiment for graduations.

The paper flowers are from my stash.

I colored them a little with the blue ink

and added glitter glue to them. They come with a little

foam tape at the back to adhere to the background.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Firecracker: Wedding 2

So hear is page 2 of the wedding party lay out.

(Page 1 is here)

Here you see us and the cousins together with the bride.

Not the official pics, but luckily some brother took these!

Again these pages are made in photoshop 

with the help of the Club Scrap hybrid images

of this month: Firecracker.

The ribbon with the heartshape I found online

and was just perfect for this page.

Hope you got some inspiration to use your

hybrid kit, have fun.

Thanks for looking 

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap June kit: Firecracker

Sharing with you the new hybrid kit by

Club Scrap for June: 

FIRECRACKER.

It is a very patriotic kit and 

absolutely great for 4th of July

celebrations. But as you know 

I live in The Netherlands and so we

do not have this celebration, but I came up

with another great use of this kit.

I used the background papers and images to make this

wedding lay-out. It is why I went to Israel.

The Firecracker papers fit the theme wonderfully.

Working on some more pages, that I will share with you 

in the next couple of days.

I used photoshop to make this page

and on the Club Scrap website

you can find some tutorial as how to use

 the program and make your own pages HERE,

Sharon and Pinchas,

I hope your 4ever after will be 

so happy and wonderful.

It was such a pleasure to 

be at your wedding.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Lavender Linky party

Welcome to the 

Club Scrap linky party

where you see all kinds of projects

made with the Club Scrap Lavendar May

paper, stamp or hybrit kit.

As I was on vacation last week,

I had my eye on plants that fitted this kit.

So here I share my scrap page with flowers

from Israel.

I made this page with the Lavender Hybrid kit:

You can find this kit HERE.

With photoshop I created the scrap page. Each month

I try to teach myself something new in this program.

If you need some lessons in photoshop, 

Club Scrap has created some tutoials for you HERE.

I look at these over and over again to get the hang

of things. It takes me a long time to learn, but

I get it working more and more.

Hope to see you around with the new June kit soon.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop bonus

And here is my last, last really last card for the

Coffee lovers Blog Hop.

I have been away exactly the time of the

hop for a wedding in Israel and I had set my

blog before to go life every day.

Now I arrived back home and noticed there

was still one hour left for adding projects

to the link and I ran to may craftroom.

So for this tag i used all that I had left on

ny table before going  away!

Just breathe and have a home made coffee

again! Those are the best (except for PSL :-).

For the background of the tag I used a stencil

that came as a gift to the Cardmakers magazine

last month and colored with walnut stain  and

twisted citron distress oxide inks.

The twisted citron matches beautiful

with the ribbon that I have from 

Diana Larson, that was also on my table

(probably had this idea already but no time).

The chair, cups and "just breathe" sentiment

are left overs from Stampin'Up! papers and stampos

and the large coffee sentiment is by

Verve Stamps (so sorry Julee to see the shop

is closing, but understanding the reason - will miss you!)

Thank you for all your comments

this week and sorry I did not reply,

but they are very much appreciated.

Even just before I left I had some Israeli coffee

(the white letters say: aromain Hebrew),

while checking the latest additions to the

coffee hop. Now that I am home I will go 

back and check out all the beautiful cards I have seen.

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!
