Happy Sunday to all off you,

For today I want to share another layout I created this weekend! It's for the magnifique sketch at My Creative Sketches 

I'm always a big fan off their sketches this time it's one designed by Michelle Fowler.

I was fortunated enough to work with their kits two months in a row and I had a blast both times.

There such a great kitclub with so many talented ladies on the team to inspire us all.

Now for the sketch isn't it gorgeous??

For this collection I used the amazing "Lyric" collection by Prima Marketing I just love the soft tones off the papers with the pretty designs on them!

A real Prima love here lol.....

I also used a pretty Manor House flower on this layout and a beautiful keyhole by Tim Holtz

At the bottom off my layout you see a new thing I tried something I saw on Rachael Surgeson (sorry iff I'm not spelling it correct) her blog!!

I think she is amazingly talented love here layouts so much.

So this is my take on the sketch:

Love you 4 ever

Here a couple off close-ups:

 I sure hope you all like my take on the sketch I really enjoyed doing a My Creative Sketch challenge again!!

Today I want to share a layout I created for Once Upon A Sketch May challenge

The theme is: numbers

Ans this is what Nadia has to say about the challenge on the blog:

This month, we ask you to include a number , ANY number, on your layout. It has to be VISIBLE on your layout and it can be in your title or part of your journalling. It can be a date, an age, a house number, an anniversary, the number of children you have, the number of pets ....anything you like. But please make sure that there is some explanation through your journalling, somewhere on your page or blog about what this number means to you. 

You have use this amazing sketch:

Amazing right???

With this layout I'm also entering another challenge at:

Cheery Lynn Designs

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 78 - Bling it Up

This beautiful lady is my great grandmother Johanna the picture on the left is a picture back in 1954 with my mom on her arm and the other picture is when she was much older.

Now you can see I'm not a whole Dutch lady at all.  She's from Indonesia.......

I loved this theme so much I almost made two layouts but could not finish it because off my school work.

This is the pretty sketch:

On this layout I used the amazing Phrase by the BEST chipboard company ever!!!

I still feel so blessed to be on there Design Team.

The day you where born

and 

a lot off amazingly gorgeous dies by Cheery Lynn Designs  

and

offcourse paper from the BEST paper company in the world

Graphic 45

I used the cute "Little Darlings"Collection!!

Next up also gorgeous flowers by Manor House Creation.

On the backside off my layout I wrote something special for our son to see when is all grown up and has a family of his own (it's a little poem.)

Hope you all don't mind for not telling it.

I used the sketch in a creative way this time:

I rotated it LOL......

and this is my take on the AWESOME sketch.

and now a couple off close ups:

This also was a one off my final projects for the Graphic 45 DT audition.

I so love this picture off my hubby and son.....

Did you see that I didn't paint or do anything with the chipboard pieces?? Sometimes I love it when they are just plain the way they are...

I hope you all like my take on the sketch.....tomorrow they will announce the final Design Team on the Graphic 45 blog ==> here <==

Oh I can't wait, have a wonderful rest off the week.
