Tweede LO voor wijDUS
De tweede uitdaging van wijDUS was een schets. een hele leuke vond ik en wist ook meteen welke foto's ik ervoor wilde gebruiken.
De foto's voor deze LO komen uit 2007, het Kerstgala bij Simone op school. Gepaste kleding werd erg op prijs gesteld dus gezellig gaan winkelen met z'n tweetjes. En ze heeft een prima avond gehad.Ik heb papier gebruikt van My Minds Eye, dit papier had ik al in huis voor een LO met deze foto's dus heb ik ze nu ook maar gebruikt. Verder mijn Cricut voor de tekst en een paar ijskristallen. De grote ijskristallen zijn met een Cuttlebug stans gemaakt. De tekst heb ik met de hand geschreven. Ik vind dat leuk om te doen ondanks dat mijn handschrift niet zo heel fraai is. Maar het is wel leesbaar.
This is a lay out I made with pictures of my daughter Simone. She had a Christmas party at school and everybody had to wear party clothes. So we went shopping for THE DRESS, matching shoes, a evening bag with lotsa bling and because I wanted her to look her best, her hair was done by a hairdresser. She really looked pretty as a picture.

CardPatterns #3
My take on this week's sketch. A great sketch byMichelle and great card by guest designer Hanneke. I made the card for a collegue of mine who gave birth to a baby daughter, called Suzette. I used the same DP as I used when I made a little present when she went on maturnity leave. The tutorial for that little present was on Hanneke's blog which is a nice coincidence. The DP is by Kaisercraft.

Cuttlebug be inspired #19 en Double Dutch.
Leeg. Empty.
Another combined challenge. For the Cuttlebug Challenge "embossing on acetate" and Double Dutch "anything but a card" challenge. I have never used acetate before. But I was clearing up my room and found a SCS tutorial, a triangel box and decided to use acetate for the box. I quite like the result. I cut out the little butterflies with the cuttlebug too.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge en bonus sketch 2s4y.
I combined Julie's bonus sketch on 2s4y with the challenge on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog. This week's theme is "get well soon". The rose is stamped on sticky-back canvas and then cut out. The text is stamped with a JustRite Monogram stamper and it reads "get well" in Dutch.
2s4y Kazan sketch#20
Ik heb weer het papier van Kaisercraft gebruikt. Dit keer is het een verjaardagskaart geworden. De swirl stempel is van Autumn Leaves gestempeld met grijze shaduw inkt en de tekst stempel is van Kars. Het vlindertje heb ik 2x uitgestanst, en op elkaar geplakt. De bling steentjes zijn ook van Kaiserkraft.
My take on Kazan's sketch #20. It gave me some headaches but I'm pleased with the result. It's a birthday card, the text says congratulations. I again used DP by Kaisercraft (I really like that paper) and some cream CS. The butterfly I diecut twice, and put one on top of the other. Added some bling. The swirl stamp is by Autumn Leaves and I stamped it with grey shadow ink.

Shout out to Sheetload.
It's time for another Shout Out to Sheetload. You can win a lovely Fiskars border punch. Sheetload of Cards have a monthly e-zine for card making. Very nice when you don't have much imagination, like me.

CardPatterns#2
My card for sketch #2 from CardPatterns. I liked the simplicity of this sketch and I needed another sympathy card so I made this card. I used DP from Kaisercraft again. I love that paper, ist's so beautiful. I made the flower with some DP circles and used a brad in the middle. The text is a rub-on which says: sincere condolances.

CPS#103
Another card done, for CPS#103. I didn't know what to do with it at first but this is the result. It's a card for my MIL whose eldest sister died last Saturday. The rub-on reads: be strong. I used DP and a brad by Kaisercraft, a SU stamp, a rub-on and some machine stitching. The ribbon is almost the same color as in the paper.
Cuttlebug be inspired #18
I finally decided what shape to use for the shape card. Only just in time. I really struggled with this. I made a heart shaped card. I used my BG papers again and cut the big hearts with my cricut and the small heart with a cuttlebug die. It's the die I won with the blog hop. I used thickers from American Crafts.

Mini milk cartons.
Om de pakjes heel te houden heeft Becky een ingenieuze sluiting onder op het pakje bedacht.
I bought this tutorial from Becky Roberts some time ago (way before Christmas) but I had no time to make it. So I decided to make these mini milk cartons for Valenentin's Day. The milk cartons have an ingenious closure on the bottom so the cartons stay whole when you want to take the goodies out. I love it. Thanks Becky.
Luv Bug weekend, blog hop prijs
A couple of weeks ago the Cuttlebug Challenge blog had a Luv Bug weekend. With a blog hop. I was one of the winners of that blog hop. I got my prize today. Lovely. Thank you.

Laura's sketch #19
Deze week heeft Laura weer een leuke schets en kaart gemaakt. Ook het werk van de DT leden is heel leuk. Ik heb een kaart gemaakt die tijdens het maken compleet is veranderd en niet is geworden wat ik eerst voor ogen had. Zo grappig wanneer dat gebeurt. Deze kaart was eigenlijk voor mijn buurmeisje bedoelt die morgen 5 jaar wordt. Nu moet ik nog even een nieuwe kaart gaan maken. De stempel is van Plaid en ik heb die enkele malen op verschillend papier gestempeld en uitgeknipt. Om 2 stukjes een lintje geplakt.
(please enlarge picture for a better view)
This is my take on Laura's sketch over on 2s4y. It is so much fun to try and make something of the sketch every week. My card started out as a card for a little girl who lives next door. She will be 5 tomorrow. But somehow I couldn't get it right and now it's a birthday card for someone else who has his birthday next week. I have to go upstairs and make another card now.
I paper pieced (first time) the stamp, and put some ribbon around it. I cuttlebugged the background with an embossing folder and used my MS double scallop border punch for the edge of the card. The DP is by Scenic Route (I think).

Eye candy for blog candy on 2s4y.
Deze is betrekkelijk recent. Vorig jaar in Makkum.
My eyecandy. This is Jack, my husband of almost 16 years. This picture was taken during our vacation in the North of Holland last year.
He is doing fine by the way. He went back to work a couple of weeks ago, he still needs treatment for the tumor in his breastbone but he was so bored at home and the pain was not as bad as in December so he got permission to work 3 hours a day, that means he gets home after 3 (o'clock). He is still on morphine but not as much. We are waiting for a call from the hospital and boy does that take forever!
CPS 102
Another card done for this week. This one is for the CPS 103 sketch. A baby card. I made the flower with a piece of ribbon. To see the card better, please enlarge the picture, I haven't got a very good camera yet.
Materials used: DP by Imaginisce, ribbon, brown CS, SU word window punch, MM tiny alpha's, cricut cartridge Jasmine, 2buttons, some greeen ribbons and 2 brads and a pin.
CardPatterns sketch #1
Another new blog, CardPatterns with a new sketch every Saturday. I made this card for their very first challenge. I kept the card fairly simple because I make a lot of cards for my mom to send out and when the cards are over 20 grams she has to pay double postage, and this paper is so beautiful it doesn't need a lot of embellishments. The rub on reads, congratulations, in Dutch. I used my new MS double scallop border punch.
Other materials used: DP by Little Yellow bicycle, some ribbon, a clear stamp by Artemio and a rub-on.

Cuttlebug be inspired #17 en Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
A card for 2 challenges, the Cuttlebug challenge and the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, LOVE and ROMANCE. I do not have manyPB stamps so I can not always participate but I bought this stamp yesterday even before I read about the new challenge, lovely coincidence. I used my SU markers to color the image and then sprayed it with water to get a watercolor effect. I used my swiss dots embossing folder for the background. Some ribbon, a button and a pin and my card is finished.
wij DUS.
Voor de eerste uitdaging moest je iets doen met het thema "tijd". Ik heb deze LO gemaakt.
Products used, Kraft CS, red CS, Heide Swap clear clock stamps, Jasmine circut cartridge, scallop punches, old dictionary pages, brown rickrack.

Papertrey Ink bestaat 2 jaar
I have been a fan of PTI for a while but have no stampsets. Yet! It's just too expensive to order them from the US. But I always follow Nicole Heady's blog and the blogs of the DT members. There is so much creative talents over there. It's a joy to read the blogs.
I read about the altered bag challenge and decided to alter the tote I always bring to crops. It's just an old canvas tote I bought at Michaels some years ago. Very plain. I used some stamps and the Bazzill InStichz templates with embroidery floss. Very fun to do and my bag is no longer plain.

CPS #100
My card for CPS #100. I entered this card for the contest they have together with CardMaker. Two winners will have their cards published in the September issue. I used DP by Little Yellow Bicycle. The hearts and LOVE I cut with my cricut. I used dark grey embroidery floss for the hearts. The wide almost white lacy ribbon under the hearts I got at a garden centre. They have quite a variety of ribbon.

Luv Bug weekend, treat tin.
Another project done for the Luv Bug Weekend. A treat tin. Tins are hard to come by over here. This is a tin which had butter in it. Ideal to alter. I used BG paper. I bought the 6x6 paper pack and I'm trying to use it all.

Cuttlebug be inspired #16
They have a Luv bug weekend over on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. With lots of tutorials, prices and lots more. Go over there and join in the fun.
This card I made for the weekly challenge. Ditress your card/project. Well, I distressed the edges of my card with an edge distresser. A bit too much as I tore the bottom part of the CS. But I folded that part and put some brads in. I quite like the result of that.
