My girls

Heeeeyyyy fans...

I know, I know, waaaayyyy too soon after my last post, but hey, I finished a project, and I want you to take a look at it! I actually got a little scrapping done yesterday at my friend's house. She's chatty, that one ;) Next time we should just sit down and scrap immediately, and talk while we're at it...:P

I have to say dragging all my stuff over to someone else's house to scrap, isn't all that...:S Especially since I was in the mood for some "fun" scrapping, in which case I can almost use anything...When I scrap with coordintaed colorschemes, I find it easier to gather my stuff. It's mostly just stuff in 3 or 4 colors then. It probably would help too if I started to think about what I wanted to scrap in time...

The idea I had involved painting, so I brought along the colors I wanted to use. But when I opened my bottle of aqua blue paint, I discovered it was hard! :( I mean, HARD! One solid block of paint. Which...I don't get, because I think it's a new bottle! So how the h*ll did it get hard?! It was in the same drawer as all my other paints! Unfortunately my friend doesn't have that much scrapping supplies and/or paints, so I couldn't paint that part of my project. Ah well, my mojo disappeared along with the sunlight anyway...

But... today I sat in my attic for hours, and I finished it! I painted a little wooden container/box which housed an alpha-stamp-set once. I used some very merry Sassafrass Lass papers, felt flowers, tulle, etc. The picture was taken on my last birthday. It's a pic of me and my dearest friends, so I called it "My girls". Dunno if I am pleased with the result though, I think the colors are a bit too harsh, too bright I mean. Too LEGO-like. But who cares...I'll just scrap something else with the same pic and have a rematch...;)

Please, take a look, and let me know if you like it! Lovelovelove comments...!!!*grin*

Happy scrapping! XOXO

KREADOE...or...hybernation...?!

Hi all,

here's a post from me again. Haven't scrapped that much lately, since it's always difficult for me to get adjusted to the lack of light during these months. As soon as it's dark outside, I want to curl up on the couch and never leave it again. If my boss would let me, I'd probably go into hybernation ;) Going upstairs to my lonely attic to scrap doesn't appeal to me at all :(

But...fortunately there are weekends. Last weekend I have been busy though, busy shopping for scrap-supplies that is =) My sis in law Ramona, 2 colleagues of mine (Esther & Natalie) (all infected with the dangerous money-consuming scrap-virus by me) and myself ofcourse went to the Kreadoe fair in Utrecht.

It's an annual hobby fair, where you can buy stuff for all sorts of hobbies: scrapping, mosaic, 3D, knitting, jewelry making, etc. You can even participate in some workshops and do make and takes. But my friends and I just shopped till we dropped! At first we galloped from one booth to another, loaded with enthusiasm...But as our budgets got tighter, our bags got heavier, and our feet hurt more and more, we lost our enthusiasm.

I found some of the things I had been hoping to find, such as Maya Mists, Glimmer Mists, and Tim Holtz Crackle Paints. The picture is a bit overexposed I am afraid, I shot it with my cellphone which I haven't got used to yet...
Further more I bought some fun and pretty brads: owl-shapes, skeleton shapes, and bling bling. And some cute pins with star and heart shapes on top of them, in different colors.Here's all the stuff I bought (excluding the papers and painty things): some deep wooden frames, ribbons, Prima tapes, felt swirls, chipboard swirls, flowers, bind-it-all rings, velvet and glitter sheets for glue motifs and colored chains.

I didn't buy that much paper, but I couldn't resist some of the latest Sassafrass Lass ;)And this cutie pie begged me to take him home as well (aaaaaaaaaaaaw):After the fair we sat outside for a wile, while 3 of the 4 ladies in the picture had to smoke...(I am on the top left of the pic and I was the only non-smoker there...)

All in all this was a fun and cosy day and I am happy with my new stuff. I was BEAT when I got home eventhough it wasn't late in the evening. I went to bed pretty early and started to sort out my stuff next morning. Only thing is; I didn't have much time to do it, because we had to go and pick up my brother who was coming home again!

Off to my friend Monique today, maybe we're gonna do some scrapping together...So, I have to cook up a project and find my materials...(Considering my indecisiveness and waaaaay too large scrap-supply-stack combined with my too big photo-stack that's going to be tough...)

Thanx for reading/looking! Happy scrapping! XOXO
