Club Scrap Ivy League Linky Party

Here my contribution to the Club Scrap linky party.

I share with you two pages I made with pictures from last weekend

celebrating my husbands birthday. We went out for the weekend.

We cycled 40 km (25 miles) and had a 2 hour walk through some castle gardens, 

lovely lunch and dinner and a great hotel.

This months Ivy League papers were just perfect for scrapping.

I used the Ivy Leaugue hybrid kit.

We were in the south of The Netherlands, in Limburg.

The weather was not so very nice on Saturday, but

sunny and lovely on Sunday.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Back to school again

I just couldn't resist making another notebook

matching the post-it holder like I did the other day.

You have seen the post-it note holder and instructions HERE.

All stamps and papers are Stampin'Up!

and I enter this for the

Monday and Wednesday challenge on 

the Simon Says Stamp challenge blogs.

Here a close up of the sentiment and the pens.

These are colored with zig markers and on top

glossy accent to make them look even more

like real pens.

Inside peek.

PS. no special template. Just measured the inside 

notebook and made a cover around it with 0.25"

extra and 0.25" extra as the spine.

Decorate to your own liking!

Back of the notebook.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Happy Birthday, Raymond!

Today is the birthday of my dearest husband.

I wish him health and happiness and say

cheers to a long and healthy life!

Here my card for him with the great wine stamps from

Tim Holtz and a matching envelope.

Here a close up of the card, that I also want to enter in 

the Food and/ or Drink challenge on the

Simon Says Wednesday challenge blog.

I started this card with a pice of music paper

and stamped the grapes in versamark and embossed

these with white embossing powder.

Next coloring with a few oxide ink.

When you go on top of the embossed places,

these work as a resist.

Here the finished page after coloring.

Next I stamped the wine glass all over

and colored it with zig margers and a watercolor brush.

Also some extra images where stamped and colored

and cut out.

Here you see how everything comes together.

I also used on of Tim's paper dolls, sentiment ticked

and sentiment meta; to finish the card.

This is the inside of the card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Back to School 2

Today I created this back to school set with

Club Scrap papers and Ivy League digital images for:

where there is also a Back to school challenge on the

Monday Blog of Simon Says Stamp.

I made this notebook cover with the library

image and sentiment from the Club Scrap hybrid kit.

The boy and mother is a figure from a bag of

paper dolls by Tim Holtz.

Here a peek inside the notebook.

This is the back of the notebook

with another paper doll and a sentiment

from Club Scrap (Oct 2010 Scholarship).

I colored the image with zig markers 

and a watercolor brush.

Also I made another  post-it holder

and I made one before. You find the instructions HERE.

This is the back of the post it holder.

It is blank to leave a message.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

More inspiration for Jewish New Year cards

As Rosh Hashanah - Jewish New Year - is around the corner

(September 10/11) I am busy making cards. On my other blog

Creative Stampin4you I have a blog hop going with

a group of Jewish Stampin'Up! demos. Go here.

For these cards I used an old cardbox I have from 

Stampin'Up!. It came with great bakgrounds

and easu to use flowers and leaves.

Here you see some of the parts from the box that was used.

From the recent catalogue I used 

the set Jars of Love (for the honey jar)

and Pick me Up (for the apple)

The sentiment is from an old SU! set

called Mazel Tov.

Here the sentiment is from Ruth Jewish Stamps.

As you can see i added the flowers with a piece

of foam tape and on top of the flower you find

an adhesive enamel dot.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Back to School

Here my contribution for the challenge

on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog:

Not only all the children go back to school,

the teacher come back to with all new ideas

and inspiration on how to make it this

another great school year. 

So I made this little post-it gift set for my

fellow teacher to give them a boost.

You find all the details of the challenge

Back to School here.

I used some Stampin'Up! design paper

and the cup is a rubber stamp also by Stampin'Up!,

but the sentiment is by Stamplorations.

The sentiment end with the word day, but i cut that off

and repleaced it by the word year, that I cut out

with a thinlit die.

On the back of this post-it stand I made some room

to write a wish for my fellow teachers.

I found this great pen with cm and inches to go

with this set.

Here are some measurements for making your own:

You need a piece of cardstock 5.75"x 12"

scoring vertical: 0.5 - 1 - 4.75 - 5.25

scoring horizontal: 2 -2.5 - 6 - 9.5 - 10.5 11.5

Decorations to your own desire.

I found the instructions here.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative year.
