My Delightful Everything for ***Renea Bouquets*** + Playing at ScrapAndMe & Splashy Mix Challenges!!!

Hi Sweeties,

I am so excited to show you my latest work for this amazing design team of Renea Bouquets. For this layout I used a picture of my wedding day back in 2012 & some amazing Scrap And Me papers called "Vintage Garden" and off course a bunch gorgeous Renea Bouquets products. I was so amazed by a sketch on the ScrapAndMe site from last month that I had to use it a second time here for this layout.   

 My Delightful Everything 

{Happy Valentines Day}

I cut out three strips of paper which I distressed & inked then I placed those on my background sheet slightly lifted with foam tape. Then I cut out two circles in two different sizes and lifted those also and placed them on top of the strips. After that I treated my background with stamps, a stencil & some lindy's sprays.

As you see in the three pictures above I placed some lace in the hearts of the phrase & a cute little dragonfly on top of one of the hearts. Some of the Beautiful Boards are treated with rust paste, acrylic paints,waxes and some just with a little gesso.

I cut up the pretty Beautiful Board Circuit Elements Lasercut Chipboard and placed in the ivy heart on the left page underneath my picture. To finish my layout I placed some lace randomly around my layout and used the bits and pieces also and tucked them in. For this layout I did a lot of fussy cutting because all the pretty papers are so made for that!

Beautiful Renea Bouquets products used: 
Beautiful Board Ivy Heart Frame Set of 3 Lasercut Chipboard Frames
Tiny Treasures Premium Paper Lissie Glitter Glass Dragonflies
Reneabouquets Trim Sheer Romance Lace White
Beautiful Word Medium Happy Valentines Day Lasercut Chipboard

With this layout I will be entering this months challenge at the ScrapAndMe blog it's challenge #85 and you have to use lace. I have also used last months sketch {I only rotated it} but I was to late to enter a second time!

Timeless Photograph 8x8 Layout for ***Cheery Lynn Designs*** + Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang's March Challenge

Goodmorning lovelies, 

Today I'd like to show you how I used my precious "Cheery Lynn Designs"dies. 

This time I made a 8x8 layout again {it's been ages since I did one for Cheery Lynn Designs} using a old picture of my mother in law, she is in her seventies now and on the picture she was just four years old such a cutie pie...

I ordered some foam from England last week because I saw some lovely flowers made out of them on YouTube...and I have to say I LOVE that stuff I am hooked now lol

Timeless Photograph:   

I cut out the flower dies times four then I used my heat gun to curl my flowers. This layout came out so easily. For the flower centers I used some steamen and a diamond gem on top of that. These papers I used are from such a thick quality that it's really easy to distress it. 

In some of the dies I left the cut out bits and pieces because I really think shabby chic is all about that The word stickers are inked with white ink and I added a treat underneath the picture. In my flower clusters I added some cheesecloth.





  I really adore how much depth the flowers have with the foam & dies I used wow. I am totally going to make more flowers with my Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies on my next projects so keep a close eye on this amazing blog.

January 2016 Kit at ***My Creative Scrapbook*** Layout 3 + Playing at Kaisercraft January challenge

Hi everyone, 

Today I would like to show you a layout that I made with the amazing January kit from "My Creative Scrapbook"! This kit has all pretty papers by Kaisercraft the Treasured Moments collection in specific also you will have the collectables from the same collection in this kit.  

For this layout I used the black and white papers but first take look at this beautiful kit:

For this 3rd layout I used a picture of my dear parents in law all about making their first selfie ever! We had so much fun seeing this picture the first time they are both in the age of 70 and still very much in love with each other. And I think it's a wonderful first selfie don't you think so too?

For this layout I went all pink that's in the kit. 

You Make Me Smile:   

On the bottom of these papers are some amazing sayings which are great to use on you layouts also the collectables are a amazing addition to the papers. Let's have a closer look: 

Don't you just love this kit as much as I do???

Forever Mine 8x8 Layout for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Goodmorning lovelies, 

Today I am up on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog with another 8x8 layout! This time I used the pretty "Mon Amour"collection by Graphic 45 it's a really romantic to work with. So that means I had to use a romantic picture so I used one of my husband and me this is one of my favorite pictures of us.

When our son saw me on it he said oelala sexy picture mommy ;-)

This layout has a lot of layers

Forever Mine: 

This weeks challenge at the Cheery Lynn Designs blog is about thank you for me that also reverse to being thankful. And I am very thankful for the love my husband and I have together. He is my soulmate and I could not wish for anything more. For the background of my picture I used the 

Dutch Daisy Boutique I thought that was very appealing because we live in The Netherlands. 

And for the banner in the middle of my layout I cut up the outer die of the Royal Scandinavian Boutique to make a border and for the centers of my flowers I used a diamond gem but for two of them I used a vintage screw brad {which are my favorite pieces to use as flower centers}

DL313 - Royal Scandinavian Boutique Stacker A2 Frame
DL293 - Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker A2 Frame

Guest Designer for ***My Creative Scrapbook***

Hello my sweet followers, 

In the month August I was asked by Pam Rangel to be a guest designer for "My Creative Scrapbook" for the month September & October but something went wrong with my October kit

 {sadly it got lost in the mail}. 

So Pam asked me to design again in November with the super pretty Limited Edition kit. 

Luckily sweet Pam sent me the October kit again with my November kit, so that allows me to also work with that amazing kit too. Thank you! This November kit is filled with the pretty Royal Menagerie by Prima Marketing but it also has some papers by Marion Smith design and We R Memory Keepers in it. It was really a delight to work with it all.

My Favorite Memories of You: 

At first I looked at the papers and thought how in the world can I make four layout's with it, not that there isn't enough in the kit by far....there is lots in it! But I am a scrapper with a soft paper tone on the first sheet and in this collection there aren't enough soft tones....so that really got me to think outside the box for once! They say that that is a good thing right? Hehe

When I showed this layout to my husband he said hon please give me my shades WOW that's colorful it's not really your style isn't it hon and I said "yup! {he loved it though}

Let's have a closer look 

Wonderful Smile: 

For my second layout I went for the purple & aqua tones in the kit. This cute girl in the picture is my mother in law when she was just a three year old girl back in 1948 {I really love this picture of her} 

For the other three layout's I don't have close ups.I just forgot to take them ughhh.

Favorite Moments: 

On my third layout I scrapped a picture you must have seen before it's my sweet mommy back in 1958. I love the look in her eyes it's kind of in a glaze she is there but isn't really there, do you get me...

Special Day: 

And for my fourth layout I used a picture of Lily {she is the little niece of someone I know}.

Isn't she the cutest girl ever.....

It was so much fun working with this amazing kit thank you so much for your visit and have a wonderful day. 

Love 

Guest Designer for ***My Creative Scrapbook***

Goodmorning lovelies, 

I was asked by the wonderful Pam Rangel to be a guest designer for the month September & October at My Creative Scrapbook! I accepted that amazing opportunity and luckily I did because the Limited Edition this month is heavenly. Just take a look:

It has the pretty "Frolic" paper collection by The Blue Fern Studio's in it and it was a delight to work with such amazing high quality papers. I made four layout's with these papers and I had so much fun thank you so much for having me on the GDT. 

A Perfect Day: 

For this layout I wanted the softer feel more like a lace feel to it this was such a amazing page to make not really my style but it worked out pretty nice I think.

Let's have a closer look: 

Mon Tresor: 

For my second layout I went with the pretty birds sheet in this gorgeous collection with the soft red and shiny blue. This picture was taken a long time ago in our backyard. 

Let's have a closer look: 

Celebrate Everyday: 

My third layout was based on the new sketch at: My Creative Sketches Blog it is such a great sketch I hope you are all going to play too. I tuned the sketch sideways this is the original sketch.

Let's have a closer look at my layout: 

Lil' Darlin 

For my fourth layout I let the chipboard piece be the focus point on my page I never make layout's starting in the middle of my page but it turned out very nice. ;-) The stencil that was in this kit I used on every layout and is so versatile. The big yellow flowers I made myself and I will give a photo tutorial later this month. Let's have a closer look; 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today! I had so much fun creating all these layouts that I went to look for these papers which was really hard but I found them yeahhhhhh

So I can make more layout's

Have a wonderful weekend.

Love
