Verjaardags kaart voor mijn broertje.
I made this card for my "little" brother who will be 44 next week. I won't be here so I need to put this card in the mail before I step on the plane to Portugal. This is the last I card I'll make for about 3 weeks. And I will not take any card making supplies with me. I do have some magazines I have been hoarding for the vacation. And a big pile of new books. I won't be bored the coming weeks!
The sketch I used is sketch#33 by Kazan on the 2S4Y blog.
Materials used:
Cream card.
Designer Paper, Crate Paper, cowboy collection
Cricut, Doodletype
eyelet
piece of string
sewing machine.

Weer een lay-out af!
Deze lay-out heb ik gemaakt voor 2 challenges, de ZON-ZEE-STRAND challenge op het blog van wijDUS en de challenge op het Cuttlebug Challenge blog "create a scene card", in dit geval dus een "scene lay-out".
Ik ben het een keer zelf op de foto, gemaakt tijdens onze super mega geweldige vakantie die ons jaar in de VS afsloot. Dit strand is net boven Los Angeles, 10 grade celsius is de water temperatuur. En ik had wel heel hard geroepen "ik ga in de Pacific zwemmen" , ik heb het toch maar niet gedaan. Zo koud!
I made this lay-out for 2 challenges, the one on the wijDUS blog, SUN-SEA-BEACH, and the challenge on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog, create a scene card (in my case a scene lay-out).
The picture was taken on a beach above Los Angeles where we stopped for a night. This was in 2002 when we had a 3 week RV vacation to end our year in the United States. The water was so very cold. I was going to swim in the Pacific but this is as far as I went in! The titel says: it was only 10 degrees Celsius in Dutch.
Materials used:
Bazzill, dotted swiss mermaid
Bazzell, kraft cardstock
Designer paper, K&C, Making Memories
Cricut, Accent Essentials, shells.
Cuttlebug embossing folder, distressed stripes
Alphabet stickers, Making Memories.

CardPatterns sketch #27
Kazan's sketch #32.
Maar gisteren had ik toch nog inspiratie genoeg voor een kaart voor 2S4Y. Weer een leuke schets van Kazan.
Because of the very hot weather over here this week (30° C on Thursday) I only made two cards. But I do need some cards over the next few weeks so I braved my very hot (no airconditioning) craft room. This is the result for Kazan's sketch over on 2S4Y.
My DH went into hospital last week on Wednesday for his second treatment. He came home again on Monday. He wasn't sick at all this time, just very bored and a bit claustrofobic. It's a room with lead wall so he hears no sounds at all. He can open the windows but that's all. He is not allowed out of his room and the nurses only come in for food and drinks, not to chat. He does have Internet and TV but he is not allowed visitors. He started working again on Thursday. His vacation starts on Wednesday the coming week and he had 4 (four) weeks. We are flying to Portugal on August the 20th for 2 weeks, we reckon we deserve it!
Materials used:
Patterned paper: October Afternoon.
Ribbon: Bazzill.
Brad made with the I-top tool from Imaginisce.
Stamp: Kars.

CardPatterns sketch #26
My card for sketch #26 on the CardPatterns blog. I liked the sketch. Paper is by October Afternoon. I used my sewing machine some staples and some prima flowers. I love the ribbon, I have had it for ages but hadn't used it yet. Goes very well with the paper.

Een vriendschapskaart.
This is my card for Challenge #42 on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. I should really be a gatefold card but mine is almost that;)
I'm going to send the card to my best friend Martha, she is on vacation at the moment but she'll get the card when she comes back home.

Overlevingspakketje voor mijn moeder.
I made this bag and contents for my mother who is travelling to South-Africa later this week with my brother. They go on a 3 day train trip first (you really have to check this out), and then they go and visit some game parks. It's her 80th birthday gift (she will be 80 in November) from my brother.
The bag is a bit of a survival bag, it has chocolat, little tealights, matches and a bottle of stuff with which you can wash your hands without water. I went over this afternoon to give it to her and she really loved it!
This is also for Challenge #41 on the Cuttlebug challenge blog. To create an altered project from items in your bin, well, the bag I used I got in a store after I bought something there and I kept it and now I altered it.
