New blog

Have you checked our new site yet??

Time flies...

when you are having fun... cannot believe the holidays are almost here...

Did quite a lot of scrapping these past few days mostly Christmas related stuff I'll show you later on this month.

This layout was made for last months MLS DT challenge. DD with one of her friends on one of the few summer days we had this year. The "dirty" in the tittle is because that is what they were (you can't tell from this photo) but they rubbed themselves with dirt ;-))

In my enthusiasm I forgot to write down what papers were in the kit, as soon as I remember I'll let you know ;-)) Other supplies used: American Craft thickers eggnog, a bingo card, clear buttons, some ribbon, a 7 gypsie stamp, paper from an old children's book, a flower, doodlebug letter stickers and posca pens for outlining.

This card was made with some scraps, same paper as layout above ;-)) prima flowers, a button and an autumn leaves stamp on craft paper.

Thanks for visiting, see you soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!

Today is the first anniversary of the Dutch Dare Blog! I would like to thank all the DD girls for the great inspiration this blog gave me last year. With all the new plans we have I am sure many more of these moments will come!

For this special occasion I made this layout.

It felt a bit awkward making a card for a blog, and I didn't have any anniversary pictures left, so just used "one " in the tittle.

Curious what the other girls made??? Click here.

Thanks for visiting will be back soon with a new post.

Work, work, work...

That is what I have been doing lately, even last weeks Dutch Dare was about work. Pictures on this lo were taken a LONG time ago at my old job, my guess is that they are from the end of 2000. I've been working for this employer for almost eight years, most of them happy ones... the ending however was not so good. To make a long story short... Remember good times, I had a lot of those with my sweet colleagues from over the world there, decided that I wanted to remember them with pleasure, and more or less forget the bad ending.

Used some Japanese handmade paper on the background, some velvet letters from a Dutch store, some brads, a Mayaroad swirl and the cutest owl stamp from Sassafrasslass.

I guess I have a new addiction, canvas ;-))

Used a lot of acrylic paint, paintdabbers, poscapens, gaffertape by 7 gypsies, AC thickers foam and chipboard, some looovely Hambly, doodlebug paperfrills, and my good ol' dymo labelmaker.


Thanks for visiting hope to see you soon, and oh, if you do visit ((I can see by the counter that you do ;-)), please leave me a comment, I'd love to know who visits, and would love to check your blogs in return!

Wonder woman Comic papers, AC craft thickers, Heidi Swap gost letter, clear buttons, red rick rack ribbon, posca pens, paintdabbers and some dymotape.

Thanks for visiting!

Sorry for being such a bad blogger.. but I will make it up to you!

Dutch Dare #22 came easy to me... totally my style... Love this bag Mandy bought, love the colors, the flourishes, the dots and the shine!!

So here is my take at the dare:

Sorry for the bad picture... couldn't get it any better. Here is what I used:background bazzill, patterned paper Tinkering Ink, Swirls and dots Fancy Pants, tittle lettering Basic Grey, and some paperglaze.

Husband and DD have been ill this past week, did not have a lot of creative time but managed to squeeze out this project:

This is what I used: Bazzill card stock, Patterned papers by Junkitz, Hamby overlays and rubons, a lot of Paint dabbers... American craft thickers, and some Heidi Swap bling.

Thank you for you visit... see you soon!

Happy Birthday!!

Hope you have a great day!
