Sunday scrappage: Friends

This week I had friends over from the United States.

Me and DH had been staying with them and finally we could 

return the favour.

Papers end sentiment are by Club Scrap

Tulip stamp and die by Michael Strong.

Of course I had to take my friend to a craft store

and we found some great Dutch vintage stamps, dies 

and this embossing folder that I had to buy.

You can see all those products here.

I loved using the embossing folder and colored

it like the Dutch national flag.

The tulips are also in those colors,paper and embossing

powder. Then cut with the matching die.

This windmill is not very far from my house

and great for taking photo's. I just found this great

sentiment between all my stamps. it is from the 

Woven Strands  rubber stamps.

Laura, it was great to have you here and way to short!

Hope we meet again in the future.

Have a creative day!

I Love Holland

The Netherlands is in a very festive mood

this weekend until Tuesday.

Today is the birthday of our crown prince Willem-Alexander

and he will be inaugurated as the new King on Tuesday.

So you can imagine all the orange

gadgets that can be found and

all the orange flags that are hanging everywhere.

Yes, orange is our national color,

 next to the Dutch red white and blue.
This is because the Queens is

from The House of Orange.

 These cards are made with a Technique Junkies technique

called Designer Paper Starbust

and is from the April/May 201 newsletter.

I used Michael Strong's  tulips and the mini heart stamps

with some scrapbook paper in the back.

The stamps are embossed in white on colored paper.

On both cards i used a few sticky gemstones to give the

cards some extra bling.

Have a creative day!

 

 

 

Holland by boat

Ben met mijn laptop onderweg op de boot. Het is geweldig hoe je nu overla en altijd bereikbaar ben. Helaas gaat het niet al te snel. Wel wil ik jullie dit mooie plaatje in de buurt van Leiden niet onthouden. Weer genoeg foto's gemaakt om te kunnen scrappen, zodat ik me straks thuis niet hoef te vervelen ;-). I am on my boat at the moment and it is incredible that you can be online almost anywere. It is just not very fast, so lots of waiting time. I just wanted to share this picture with you I took near leiden. I have lots of new pictures for scrapping now, so I won't get bore when I am home again ;-).
