Kids

Hi everybody!

This minialbum was made almost a year ago! And I forgot to show you...

It is an album for my parents in law with pictures from our girls :o)

When you open it, you can display it on a table or something. 

Seen from above....

Every part has pictures from each granddaughter...

and when it closes, ....

....  the pictures are neatly hidden.

Such a fun little gift, don't you think? My inlaws were very happy with it. 

Hope you like it too :o)

Thanks for visiting and see you soon!

Happy Birthday Malin!

Hi!

For my oldest daughter I made this box for her birthday. I found it on Renata's blog, but there was no description. I found that on Thea's Creations. Thank you both, ladies!

On the inside there are many surfaces you have to decorate. 

And the centerpiece is a cute little cake!

I scanned the Magolia-stamp and made her very tiny :o)

I stamped a greeting on the inside as well and wrote of course some words for the birthday-girl :o)

It was some work, but I think it is so cute, this box, just like my girl :o))

Bye, bye, see you next time!

Treats...

Hi everybody!

A little while ago I made these treats for my daughters birthdayparty. She gave them to her guests after the party as a little thank you. 

I made a photo-tutorial for you. It's very easy and I think the pictures tell it all. 

14 x 14 cm.

At this point you fill your box with some goodies and tie it with a nice ribbon.

I didn't glue it by the way :o)

Try it sometimes. And if you have any questions please let me know!

Bye bye :o)

Filefolderbook (with tutorial)

Hi scrappers!

A little while ago I made this filefolderbook for my neighbour. She turned 70, so I wanted to make something special for her. Browsing on the internet I saw 3 pictures of this book and I started crafting. Because I liked it so much, I decided to make a tutorial for you all.

   Start with an A4 – cardstock and cut at 21 x 28 cm. 

Score at 14 cm at the short side (therefore in the middle) 

and at 2 cm at both the long sides. 

On the longer sides, cut half of the scored lines opposite of each other.

Apply tape on the remainder at the long sides

Cut afterwards a corner.

Glue the page together.

Make as many pages as you need following the above (I made 10 pages).

Apply tape at the closed longest side of your pages, except for 1.

Glue the pages together, the inside of your book is ready.

Cut a cardstock at 30 x 18 cm.

Score at 14,5 cm on both short sides, this is the book cover.

Glue the pages between the book cover with wide sticky tape.

I cut out some tabs with my Silhouette.

Glue the pages together with some sticky tape.

You can attach the tabs on the glued area on the pages.

Create a lock by using some ribbon or Velcro.

Attach the other ends of the lock on the backcover.

Cover up with cardstock and designpapers. 

Now decorate your book and enjoy! 

I colored my Tilda with my Copics:

skin: E50/51/53/93

hair: E31/33/35

shoes: B91/93/95 and 100

dress: R81/83

apron: R83/85

butterfly: Y32/B91/E35

shadow: W2

blender

A little bouquet of flowers and a dragonfly-charm.

and some droplets to embellish. 

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial. If you made one, let me know, I would love to hear from you.

For the record, this wasn't my idea. I just made this after have seen a few pictures on the web. So if anyone needs to feel they have to claim it as their own, please let me know and I will give you credit for your design.

I won!!

I have some great news to share. I won this beautiful book...

...by just giving a comment on the Pagemaps blog. Isn't that great!

Thanks Becky, for giving away this beautiful book. 

I'm walking on clouds right now 

(and we have plenty, the rain is pouring down at the moment)

and there is a big smile on my face! 

Can't wait to get more ideas for cards and stuff.

Have a great Sunday (like me)!

Challenge nr. 3 at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}

Hi there!

Again, two weeks ago I posted my last blog post. I don't know what it is, but time flies me by these days. 

Well, time again for another challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. And this time it was my turn to  design a sketch for you to work with. Check out the challenge-blog for it and for the beautiful cards from my DT-colleagues. 

I used my sketch for the month December on the calender for my friend Heidi. 

It is almost finished now and I can send it to her. 

Reindeer Tilda was colored with my Derwent coloursoft pencils.

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 010-570-590

suit: 150-350

socks and bells: 430

her horns: 530

I punched out a bunch of snowflakes and decorated them with little pearls. 

With my Martha Stewart punch I made 3 big snowflakes in 3 circles. 

Now it is your turn again. Go to the challengeblog and enjoy the cards made for you. They are really inspirational. And to top it all off we found a great sponsor in:

Hope to see your card soon!!

Bye!
