Club Scrap Tapestry Linky Party

In the beginning of September I shared with you

pictures of applepicking my adoptive apple tree HERE.

So for today's Club Scrap Tapestry link party

I share with you what we did with all these apples.

For this page I used the Club Scrap Tapestry hybrid kit.

The apple and the "sweet" sentiment are from the 

Orchard hybrid kit from last year.

You see here my 3 grandkids helping me making

apple pie, apple in puff pastry and apple sauce.

As you can imagine we had lots of fun.

They were very proud when all was finished 

and of course their parents had to taste!

My Tapestry stamps arrived in the nick of time

 for this linky party

and here is the first card I made with them:

I used several colors on the big collage stamp

and applying it with the misty makes it come out real good.

The black flowery border and the sentiment in the middle.

Just a quick and easy card.

Finished off with a ribbon from my Club Scrap stash.

Hope to see your artwork at the linky party too!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day.

Sandsculptures

In Zandvoort. The Netherlands there is at the moment the

European Sandsculpture Championship. The theme of the

sculptures is Leonardo da Vinci. These pictures where taken

by the mother of my SIL, who happens to live in Zandvoort.

I made this digital scrap page with the July Sea Breeze

hybrid images by Club Scrap.

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!

Royal Wedding

 

Have you been watching the Royal Wedding?

Harry and Megan are married in a beautiful service,

beautiful surroundings and they looked stunning!

Did you have a good look at Queen Elizabeth?

Well she knew all about the Club Scrap

Lavender Fields kit and was dressed accordingly.

I made the pictures from the television with my ipad

and quickly made this pages after watching.

You find the Lavender Fields hybrid kit HERE.

Of course here one of the wedding pictures

I made from the television.

Soon there will be the official pictures.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap April kit: Shibori

Welcome to a new month of Club Scrap goodies.

This month the kit is called Shibori?

What?! you may say, so here a little explanation:

Shibori is a Japenese indigo fabric dying technique 

dating back to the 8th century.

There is more explanation on the Club Scrap Blog HERE.

For me this blue and white kit is perfect

to play with for my Jewish Holidays.

For my scrapbookpage, I snapped some quick

photo's of my grandsons, when they where here

for our annual matzo lunch.

(I won't show you how the floor looked afterwards!)

This kit is also great for cards

and because of the blue and white combo,

it combines great with other kits.

For this birthday card I used the cake from

the Club Scrap January Surprise kit.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Steamworks linky party

This week I received the perfect picture to make a scrap page

for the linky party of Febuary's Club Scrap Steamworks images.

I used the digital Steamworks kit and photoshop to make this page. 

My grandson was in a museum with his other grandparents.

We share pictures in a family group and when I saw this,

I knew I had found the right picture for this month.

I am getting better using layers in Photoshop, now I need to learn

more about effects. I learned to color the background, but

would love to have a more gradient border. Step by step it is

getting better, but not as good as some I see around.......one day!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Some favorites from 2017 - 2

Today I share some projects from May - August 2017

from various of my favorite companies.

You see Club Scrap, Stampin'Up!, Michael Strong stamps.

Art Neko, Create with TLC and of course Tim Holtz.

Looking forward to what they all have 

in store for us for 2018.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Some favorites from 2017 -1

Before I start to create for this year, I looked back to all the creations

I made last year. It was so hard to pick some favorite, so here 

are some I picked from the first 4 month of 2017.

There are cards, projects and scrapbook pages.

There will be more tomorrow.

It gives me a few days to clean my craftroom!

I guess some of you can relate!!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap December A Night at The Met linky party

Usually you expect a Club Scrap Blog Hop of the kit

that is out in this month. Well, things have changes

and from now on there is a linky party.

This means everyone with a Club Scrap kit of the

month can play along by adding the project made

with the kit to the Club Scrap main blog HERE.

For my project I used the "A Night at the Met"

digital images. The pictures are of our Hanukkah celebration.

I used an existing CS template, but I am not very 

good at using it and changing the colors. It took me

a white in photoshop to get this page. As I am trying to

use more of the digital kit, I learn along the way.

I will confess, I have stopped my paper kit and want to

use all the papers, stamps and embellishments I still

have in the next year in combination with the digital

kits that come out every month. I hope you will come

to see me using up all the supplies I have still lying

around. You know I am not a hoarder, but not every kit

is finished and I now want to use all those items. It

will be quite a journey.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap November Blog Hop: Trattoria

Here we are today with the monthly

Club Scrap Trattoria Blog Hop

for November. Sharing with you ideas what to do with your

pizza box of paper and stamp goodies.

You find all the participants on the main

Club Scrap Blog, but I hope you have arrived here from

Pam's Blog

and seen what delicious work she had for you.

When you have been hopping, you must have noticed

that the Artist Team will stop existing and that

for next year there will be other ideas of sharing 

inspiration with you. Even though I will not be stopping

sharing my ideas with you, I want to THANK Tricia and 

Karen for the opportunity to be on this team

and being able to play with so many of the wonderful

goodies each and every month. I have loved the

challenges we were set and sharing ideas with

the other members of the Artist Team. 

I absolutely love the ALSB instructions, to get the most out

of the papers for scrapbooking, so I just had to do a spread.

As I do eat pizza, but never made pictures of it, now I needed

to do so for my pages this month.

On Tuesday we have the grandchildren all day.

The twins come early in the morning and the older brother

comes after school. When they go home, we are tired

and I do not feel much like cooking. We discovered New York 

Pizza has special Tuesday deals, so Tuesday is our 

pizza day now: double pepperoni and New York.

I love the moustache on the stencil that came with this kit, 

especially because my Ray has one :-)! 

I also wanted to make some cards and here are 3 cards

I came up with:

For these cards I used some letter dies (Stampin' Up!).

Lately I seem to see a lot of cards using big lettering.

Card #1 is an oblong card (8"x 4"), with no stamping involved,

just the paper, ribbons, love charm and cut apart from the kit.

Here a close up to some wonderful detail of the card.

The wonderful word charm on the ribbon and do you

see the great decorated paper through the cut out lettering?!

Card #2 is a bridge card that I really like now.

For a bridge card you use the 8,5"x 11" piece of paper

and cut it vertical in half and make the papers

I add the intructions here from the Orchard colection 

with all the scoring details.

The pizza letters are the ones I cut out of the panel

on card #1. The pizza's are from the digital kit

and colored in photoshop.

Inside the card I stamped one of the fun sentiments

from the Trattoria Art Nouveau unmounted rubber

stamps and glued some pizza pieces to it as well.

And because Christmas is near and the colors of this kit

are also great for Christmas cards I made this one as well.

Pizza delivery from the North Pole is card #3.

In addition to the Trattoria papers I had two gnooms

left and used Scandinavian Holiday Jumbo stamps.

The sentiment on the front is printed with the computer.

Inside the card I stamped a few Christmas baubles

in green and a sentiment in red. I used the same digital

pizza's as on card #2.

More Christmas cards we will be sharing on 

December 11, when some of us have put together

another blog hop (we just could not resist!!)

And because this is the last post with the team

I made a little more than usual.

When asking for pizza, how about another pizza box,

but not the big size, just a little one.

This little pizza box is 3,5"x 3,5" and  made by SU!.

For the top of the box I used the printed pizza colored

in photoshop. Behind the pizza the colors of the Italian

national flag. Behind the pizza a scalloped circle cut

with a spellbinder die. I love the fork charm that came 

with this kit and added it on top of the box, fixing

it with a little glossy accent glue.

Around the box I used some of the cut apart strips

ans stamped some of my own with the little pizza

slice in red ink.

And now for the inside of the box: it holds 4 small

cards 3x3 inch and matching enveloppes.

i made the enveloppes with the enveloppe punch board.

For the cards I used some of the cut aparts in combination

with sstamping, ribbons and more pizza.

Just some fun and silly cards. You never know when you

need some?!

And of course i could not throw away the little 

cut out heart and used it inside the card with

another stamped sentiment.

Well, sigh, this was it!

Hope you have enjoyed all my posts for Club Scrap

and got some inspiration out of it. 

Next for her last post go to

Jennifer's Blog

and see what yummy artwork she has for you.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a creative day!
