Sunday scrap page: Raymond's Birthday

This week we celebrated a special birthday for 

my husband and here are some of the pictures

in a pocketpage with Club Scrap papers

and Michael Strong alphabet stamps.

Name stamped on black paper and embossed with red embossing

powder and cut with an oval punch.

The banner was on the printed Club Scrap paper and I added

the stichers with the name of the city were we went for a boat trip.

It is a beautiful old city, down south in The Netherlands.

You can see more about this city HERE.

The number dies are from Stampin'up!

The birthday sticker and the letters are from some old Club Scrap kit.

In the past we used to get a sticker alphabet with the kit.

On our trip Raymond's mother was with us (she was there 65 years ago too!)

It was a very, very hot day, but with enough shade we had a very good day.

Here we were on a historical boat trip on the Maas river.

 Here some extra pictures of our trip:

We even passed the house of  André Rieu, 

famous Dutch violonist and conductor.

On Saturday we had a party in our garden with all the family.

I made the background paper with red and blue distress ink

and a stencil for the wavy impression.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Sunday scrap page: Lego

I love playing with Lego and I have lots of it

and have so many fun hours with my grandkids building.

Last Tuesday started out as a rainy day, so we got the boxes 

out and had a fun day.

I made my page today in one of those pocket pages.

Papers are by Club Scrap and the 1 inch circle stamp

is by Michael Strong. For the journaling i found a fun Lego Brix

free font here. 

To make the lego bricks  cut squares of 2 x 2 inch and strips

of 2 x 1 inch. I ambossed the circles in the main colors and 

puched them out with a 1 inch circle punch.

Behind two of the photo's I made my own papers.

For this I used the main colors green, blue, red and yellow

(that you see in the lego bricks) of distress ink.

After coloring the paper, I stamped the circles and used 

a stencil for the circles.

On this one I embossed the circles in red.

These papers look great behind the photo's

(but are also great for using as a background for a card).

Look at them having fun playing!

In the afternoon the weater became nicer and when the twin was sleeping,

 Owen and I build a zoo outside on the terrace.

I found thi image on internet and used it to make the little

lego dolls. I printed these on yellow paper, cut them

out with scissors and made a face on it with a black marker.

Feel free to safe the image to your computer.

Thank you for looking

and have  creative day!

Sunday ScrapPage: Festival of Lights

This page has a lot of dark photo's. Yes, that is

because we took a boat trip in the evening. In Amsterdam there 

was a Festival of Lights and that is best seen when itis dark.

You find more info about this Festival HERE. There are

also more pictures there with a better view.Making

pictures in the dark (and especially when it is raining as well)

is very hard.

So we took one of these special canal oat trips that took us around a lot of 

the sights. The was also a walking tour, but that is too much on one 

evening.

I choose to use Michael Strong's Paisley stamps to decorate

the page, because I felt the paisleys gave a kind of wavey

(water) feeling to the page.

The paisley elements are stamped with versamark and 

embossed with white embossing powder.

Thank you for looking.

 Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap Page: Spectre

Finally got the pictures from our Spectre Premiere Event.

 them to make this Pocket Page scrapbook page.

For decoration I used Michael Strong's mini star.

On the long stip the star is embossed with white embossing powder

and then i took a small silver cat's eye inkpad to color

the strip. When finished I used a paper towel to clean the stars.

Here you see the stars again,but used for decoration.

The are stamped on red paper and embossed with gold

embossing powder. A little gemstone for bling.

As Spectre is another James Bond movie, I thought

the 007 looked nice as an embellishment for my DH

picture. Here I used the Michael Strong number stamps

embossed in silver on black paper.

The paper I used for this page are mainly the back of the

Club Scrap Big Top papers I used here. And even

the the otherside of the tag used before.

We had dinner before we went to the movie.

Great chiken sate,with salad and french fries

and a Dutch Heineken beer.

Thanks for looking!
