Nog een boekje: Een "circus"boekje met Color Wash

2012-02-05T18:45:00.002+01:00

Ook vorige vrijdag 03-02-2012 heb ik een workshop gevolgd bij ArtJourney. Dit keer liet Liesbeth ons met Color Wash werken. Lekker kliederen. Erg leuk (en verslavend!) om te doen. Het was een intensieve workshop, want er moest veel gebeuren. De pagina's kleuren, de canvasjes eerst in de Gesso en ook weer kleuren. De circusartiesten stempelen, kleuren en uitknippen. En er tot slot een enorm leuk geheel van maken!

Yes it is still the same: I'm a bad blogger!
Since august 2010 (since i'm 50 years old) I have a new job. And it's my dreamjob but it neads all my energy, wich means there is not so much time left for scrapping and other addictions. But . . . Every now and then I found some time to make some nice LO's I want to share with you.

New Year, Right Age: I am 50 = Let's Celebrate ?!

2010-08-23T17:36:00.004+01:00

Since last wednesday it is a fact: I am 50 years old now (!)
So I think it is the right time to pick up my "old" hobby and share it with all of you.
My birthday started with a perfect breackfast. A gift arranged by my dear colleagues from Exloo. The rest of the day we spend in a wellness resort, called "de Zwaluwhoeve". It was nice, but . . . too big. Last saterday we had a party with delicious Spanish food. Homemade by our son's colleague. And while I thought I was lucky, they bring me a puppet in our garden. It says that our house in Sweden is ready and in 10 years we will cellebrate my birthday in Sweden. I hope so.

Allthough it was quiet around me for more then a year (because of many different things . . . ) I managed some LO's.

Cards with Graphic45

2009-08-03T17:38:00.003+01:00

After my accident with the dogs last february in Sweden (http://www.shagelukkennel.blogspot.com/) it took a long time till I can use my arm the way I would like to, but . . .

Last friday I finally find (read: take) time to go to a worshop at Art Journey (http://www.artjourney.nl/) in Sleen. The best stamp shop in The Netherlands you can find.

We've made some cards with Graphic45 paper. Louise had made some samples, but it was up to us to try some more . . .

It was a very nice afternoon and it stimulated me to pickup the scrapping and card making again.

Thanks Louise.

"Crea dagen" Hardenberg

2009-02-16T21:23:00.004+01:00

Last saturday I visited the "Crea dagen" (exhibition) in Hardenberg. Most of the products and ideas were ment for card making minds. There were just a few exhibitors with scrapbooking suplies. My personal favorite is "Art Journey" (http://www.artjourney.nl/). This shop is the best for stamping supplies in The Netherlands.

And .... I found a nice shop with several dolls made of felt. I needed to buy the eskimo's and take them with me to Sweden.

I am still a scrapbooker (!)

2009-02-14T10:19:00.001+01:00

After a long term of absence, it’s time to show that my scrap mind is still there.But . . . after my mother passed away may last year and all the things to arrange, I hadn’t the energy to work on my blog. And I was very bussy with my new job, so bussy that I hadn’t had any engery left. Lucky me, there was Anniek. Anniek and I had several times a scrap afternoon or scrap evening. And Eppie my concerned neighbour she stimulates my a lot.When her husband Nico and my Henk trained our huskies, we scrap many evenings.Meanwhile I’m feeling better and going on holidays soon. It will be our first visit in our own house in Sweden. If you want to have an up date from our adventure in Sweden, take a look at http://shagelukkennel.blogspot.com/

Some latest LO's

A lot of news!!

2008-04-10T18:40:00.002+01:00

After my super crop weekend with two leading ladies, Corinne en Celine, I was satisfied but also……… done! It took some time for me before my tiredness was over. My new job costs a lot of energy. And there is still no deputy for my old job. At the moment, I have 3 jobs exactly. Heavy times for now.
But my new job makes it not so difficult. Every day I come home more and more enthusiasticm because I enjoy it very much. I missed the contact with customers.
Nevertheless a few pictures of my scrapalicious weekend, I enjoyed all they offered. Corinne en Celine are wonderfull! I finished the little books at home, because there was not enough time to finish it in one weekend.
I really love boths layouts very much. It’s for sure I will make more of it with the learned techniques. Because of mine enthusiasm I ordered the book ‘Scraptastic’ with more fabulous ideas. I know that I reach the age of 100, but at the moment I miss a lot of time to scrop.
For now: enjoy the layouts I finished . . .

Busy weeks

2008-03-01T18:30:00.002+01:00

We had some busy two weeks. I had two intervieuws for a job and finaly got the one i wanted most! Yes, next week i'm starting a new job for the council i'll be working for almost 30 years. I'm totaly happy althought it's gonna be a rough year. I keep working for anonther council too and togehter that will do: 38 h/w. That's much, but i give it a try. After a year i'll decide if it's too much. And with sooooo much work there will be less time to scrap(!)
But ... i keep my cropmoments with Anniek and the crop evenings at Birgits. I have to (!)
At the moment i'm preraring for next weekend. Together with Anniek i'm in for the cropweekend with Corinne (Delis) and Céline (Navarro) in Utrecht. Cropping a whole weekend. No worries about cooking, cleaning etc. Just enjoy cropping and nothing else(!)

Finaly i managed to make a composit of a calander i made for my LOL. It's on his office desk now so every month he is able to look at another picture of me ........

Some new Lo's

2008-02-13T18:03:00.002+01:00

I needed some time to place the latest LO's. The damage on our PC was more as we hoped for (pfff) ..... but it is fixed now and ..... I am so happy I can use again my silhouette and the photo printer(!) Silly how you get used to using them every day.
The LO with the big bird foto is born at Birgit's place. To finish it I needed my Silhoutte ....
The other one is with one of my favorite huskies: Jacob. Jacob is imported from the USA and is one of the best that ever came to us. He's such a calm, generous, hard working dog that make you love him too (?!)
Last friday I have been cropping again with my girlfriend Anniek (http://scrap-love.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html). Not very productieve but lot of fun (haha). We are looking forward to the 8/9 March weekend. Then we join the Scrap-a-Licious Scrapbookweekend (http://corinne-delis.typepad.com/findingyou/) where Corinne Delis and Celine Navarro are teaching (yammie).

Back to life

2008-02-05T16:22:00.000+01:00

Well …. I’ts about time to bring back my blog to life. For a long time there was not enough time to write down a thing. Or there was no power left in me to take a seat in front of the PC at home. It was a very busy period at work, so I just could not force myself to do the blog too.
At the moment my PC is ‘dead’ and at our son’s place to fix it. And that for almost one week ….. I’ll never realised that a computer is so much needed. There are no mailings from friends, no possibility to look at interesting sites. I even can’t use the Silhouette or print out the pictures.
So for the moment I am not able to place some pictures of my latest works.
As soon – I think next weekend – the PC is fixed I will start placing pictures of some LO’s and promise to keep my blog alive.

Busy week

2007-11-13T19:50:00.000+01:00

I have had a very busy week. My mother is still in hospital, but it goes better and maybe she will come home on a short term. I never really mist brothers and sisters.
Until the time my mother needs more attention. Besides my work it is loaded up.
Every two week the wednesday evening is my crop evening at Birgits. I will never miss the Wednesday evening at Birgits!

Friday evening we had a breeders meeting from the Australian shepherd club at Zaltbommel. At our way back we had terrible weather, it keeps raining all the time and there was a lot of aquaplaning. We had to drive very slow and because of that we were home very late. Saturday morning we had a long lie-in and in the afternoon we visit my mother in hospital. So Saturday evening we sit on the couch watched TV and had the fire on. What a pleasure!

Sunday morning Henk went for training with the huskies. And I was with Evita to agility. In spite of our 4 lessons, she goes very well.
In the afternoon I have finished the LO I started last wednesday at Birgits.

Because Evita grows very fast I would like to show you the latest picture.
Isn’t she a beauty?

This evening I must finished a task LO (I have a deal with Anniek), so we can start Friday with a new challenge.

Bad Blogger

2007-11-09T16:50:00.001+01:00

I know I'm a bad blogger. At the moment there is not so much time left to scrap, because my mom is in hospital (again!) for over 4 weeks now. The best thing happened the last weeks was my 'blind date' with Anniek(!) We got in contact because she take part in a contest at Birgit's. And ... she became a winner. Then she contacted me by mail for thanking I'll voted for her LO. But: she simple was the best. Since then we keep in contact and have been cropping together twice. For the next time we meet we give eachother an order for a LO.
Cropping together is very stimulating. Here are the latest LO's.

2007-11-09T16:35:00.000+01:00

A busy but fabulously nice weekend!

2007-10-23T19:18:00.000+01:00

Friday afternoon I had a sort of blind date with ‘Anniek’ . A lady who lives in
the neighbourhood and addicted to scrap. I felt a bit nervous about it, because we only had contact by sending emails. But it was a fabulous and fun afternoon. Although we were not creative (look at albums, materials and talk about, etc etc.) we had a very nice afternoon! We already made our next appointment.

Saturday, we bought a girl friend for our pony Snoopy, her name is Ashleigh. And she’s nearly 5 months. In the beginning Snoopy was not very nice to her and there for he was alone for 1 night. From Sunday they are together en everything turns out RIGHT!

Sunday, we brought our puppies’ box to our friends, because their bits are having young over 1 week. Our Jacob is the father so we are very curious about the puppies.
In the afternoon there was some time to scrap. The lay out from Marjolein (Niels his girlfriend) is the sign as you can see. In the evening Niels helped me with some adaptation to my blog. But unfortunately we could not upload the pictures. I will try today.

I certainly not give up the scarp evenings at Birgits and I will join the workshops.
But for me it means that I have to drive 1 hour for a single trip. I hope that there will be some ladies in the neighbourhood who will be enthusiastic to scarp,
and join the scarp evenings and workshops at my place.

My little big prince

2007-10-18T16:03:00.000+01:00

Oh how I love this LO. I love the paper and I love the subject. Eventhough he is 23 years old, he's still my favorite scrap subject.

Some new LO's

2007-10-10T17:09:00.000+01:00

Allthough there was not much time for scrapping, I did manage to finish some LO's. The one about Evita is because she is a very naughty dog, allways mischief on her mind . . . But then again she is so cute.
And the violets .....: Every early spring and autumn I love to have violets at our frontdoor. In spring they are telling us that summer is coming and in autumn the violets keep the summer a bit longer to us.

Last week the hairdresser cut my hair very short! I had to get used to it.
My men don’t like it. But I do!

Back again

2007-10-04T17:53:00.000+01:00

For TO long I haven’t updated my blog. Because of the holidays, illness, another update of my blog, a new design for the scrap room etc etc etc. Sorry for that.

Meanwhile we went on holiday to Sweden en made a few nice pictures from, elks and reindeers. We view a couple of houses, because we have serious plans to buy a second house in Sweden. Where we could spend some time with the dogs en for
our provision for old age. But unfortunately our dream house was not for sale. We love the country and the people so we won’t give up searching. After Sweden we went to Ameland for a long weekend and after that I was sick.

First it’s look like the flu: sometimes high fever, sick, dizzy. But after a week I still felt very sick, and the diagnosis was a virus. Meanwhile my gums were terribly inflamed, so I had to visit the dentist. In short, two weeks of terribly sickness.

I couldn’t work in my scrap room because of my illness. But in the meantime we painted, cover the room with wallpaper, whitewash, put laminate and, there is a big table with 6 chairs ready for lady’s who are just as scrapaddicted as I am . . .

I have to finish the last curtain, a hat rack and a mirror on the wall and then it’s finished!

Have patience for a while.

Here she is!!!

2007-08-04T08:14:00.000+01:00

How stupid can you be...
I promised to publish these photo's of Evita, but forgot.

I'm back . . .

2007-07-31T18:15:00.000+01:00

It's high time I started working on my blog again. I was not very consequent, lately. But some things happened:
We decided to stop with the sleddogsport and we try to find a good home for our youngest doggies. The older dogs stay and they enjoy their pension with us. That’s why we have more time to sail. Last year when my son Niels and I went to Scotland, my husband bought a sailing boat a 16m2. Meanwhile we sailed our first sailing race.
Our son decided to stop with his study and find a job. That means that he can buy my mothers house. He needs to do some things and we will help him.
Also we have addition to the family in the form of a Australian Shepherd bitch with the name Evita. She’s emphatic present and asks a lot of attention.
Last weekend we had a big party because my sweetheart celebrates his 50th birthday. There were ± 40 people for the BBQ and we had a real Irish singer!! That’s why I had not much time to scrap, but I would like to show a few last pieces of work.

Evita

2007-06-02T14:46:00.000+01:00

I am so happy;-)
In about 3-4 weeks we will have a new family member. Her official name is Casa Ambiente Exquisit for Shageluk and she is an Australian Shepherd doggy born in Germany. We visited her (and the rest of the litter) last saturday and sorry..... but not one of the pictures of her is good enough to show you. As soon as I got some pictures of her breeder I show them.

Il Divo

2007-06-02T14:41:00.000+01:00

Last thursday we went to the concert of IL DIVO in Rotterdam. It was more than great!!! The boys do not only look fantastic but hey have wonderfull voices too. We spend a few nights at our friends Doortje & Erwin in Purmerend and had some beautifull days with shopping in Rotterdam, concert Il Divo and friday shopping in Amstelveen.

Computer repaired

2007-05-24T16:06:00.001+01:00

Finally the computer is repaired. I had some problems with my power supply. But my son managed to fix it. But then I had no program to edit my pictures. But ….. everything is working now. In the meantime my mother is back home. She is recovering well and that makes my live a lot easier. No more trips to the hospital every day, but visiting at the day and time I prefer. Yesterday evening I was cropping at Birgits. In the meantime I made some new LO’s at home.
I’m looking forward to next Saturday. We go visit our puppy in Germany. She is born 29-04-2007 and is about a month then. Good object for new pictures ;-)

Puppies

2007-05-01T14:34:00.000+01:00

Yesterday we planned to visit a friend for a boat trip. But he was not at home… So we took the time to make some pictures of the puppies. And they are so pretty that I would like to show you some.

2007-04-28T08:19:00.000+01:00

Painting

2007-04-28T08:14:00.000+01:00

This week we have been very busy painting our livingroom. Everything was still in the colours we chose 11 years ago. We waited that long because our ceiling is 6 meters high! My love has fear of heights and so I had to wait 11 years for another colour.
But …… it was worth it! And I even had some time to scrap last week. The first LO is with my cousins son from Germanyand Niels. As they were young they played a lot together because their mothers(!) are good friends. Now they’re growing up and have their own lifes. The other LO is with our Cairn terrier lady Dunja. She is the youngest and totally fixated on me. Our other lady (her mother) Energy is Henk’s dog. So in the evening – when we are watching TV – Dunja is lying on my lap, Energy on Henk’s. And then there is also our Ragdoll (cat) Lucy. She immediately jumps on my lap if there is a spot free!
We hope to finish the livingroom this weekend and will arrange the furniture.
Next Monday we have a holiday because of Koninginnedag (Queen's birthday). We still celebrate the birthday of our former queen Juliana. A lot of activities are organised in the city and it’s a good day for taking pictures.
My mom is still in hospital. Yesterday they transplanted skin to fill up the hole in her leg After that she has to stay for at least two more weeks. As an only child it's a difficult task to go to the hospital every evening beside my job and our housekeeping. But if there is time for some scrapbooking every now and then, I’ll manage it.

2007-04-16T20:11:00.000+01:00

I have to visit my mother everyday, she’s still in hospital. So there’s not much time to scrap. And with this lovely weather the garden is calling! Still I succeed to finish two layouts.
During the Easter weekend I made some beautiful pictures, these ones can be admire over a while on my blog. Also I collect the first order I made by the AH photo shop. And I’m very pleased about it. Nice pictures, good colours and a smart price……

2007-03-29T17:30:00.000+01:00

One new LO

2007-03-29T17:25:00.000+01:00

Last week I finished a layout at Birgits. But under some circumstance I had no time to publish it on my blog. But now I have! I started cover a little child book.
First I made it totally bare, after that I covered it with “Blush” from Basic Grey. The start is made, now I y only have to finishe it with pictures from the trip by balloon of son Niels with his grandmother. Temporary I have no time to scrap or to work on my blog.
I took my mother to the hospital, yesterday. I have no brothers or sisters so our little family have to take care of everything. So there will be not much time to scrap. At least I will try to publish a little note every week.
Better times will come obviously. After all there are enough pictures waiting for a LO.

Here I am again.

2007-03-21T16:52:00.000+01:00

For a while I was busy with other things. We went for a weekend to Berlin for a sleddog race, just for fun. Henk run with two dogs en was the second in line. With his larger team he went in the wrong direction twice en that costs a lot of time. Also we brought a puppy for friends; this little one will join our friends who live in Berlin. It was a very nice weekend we enjoyed it very much. But unfortunately a few days later I had the flu, I went to bed Wednesday. And back to work on Monday. I had a very important appointment, and was not feeling very well already but duty calls. After that the weather went out lovely so I did a few things in the garden. And was not in de mood anymore for scrapping, even in the weekend I was not in the mood.
And…….. bad luck Henk is ill at the moment. Yesterday when I went home I had also a very bad cold. Anyhow I have been to the office because I MUST go to Birgit this evening. Two weeks ago I also didn’t go to Birgit because of my illness. I will not give up my scrap evening again. I started a new LO at Monday; I'll try to finish it at Birgit’s scrap class. And one way or the other it’s stimulantes me to do something, to show something. I will do my very best to make and show some things on my site. But sometimes there are periods in your live (even in mine) that some things getting a higher priority.
I promise to show more soon ;-)

Vati in Lederhose

2007-02-28T10:52:00.000+01:00

Although there was hardly time for scrapping this week I managed to complete 2 LO’s.
One with a picture of my dad in “Lederhose” and the other one with a picture of me holding my cousin during her baptism.
This week will be the same menu: working and preparing the dogs and the caravan to get ready for the weekend. We are leaving to Berlin for a race with our Siberians. I’m really looking forward to the weekend, because most snowraces were canceled.
And ….. Saturday my loved one had an appointment in Nieuwegein and asked me to join him. Well …. with a little changing the direction I was able to visit Paper & Pictures in Doorn. You can imagine how that ended: an expensive visit but oh so yammy ……..

This week inspiration has gone

2007-02-20T17:28:00.000+01:00

The last weeks I was full of inspiration. At the moment it’s over a low flame.
Maybe it’s because of my application which I was not the right candidate or maybe just the spring is in the ear. When the sun shines it’s an invitation to do things outside and when it rains I rather be inside and enjoy my scrapping. We had a lovely and busy weekend: Saterday we take care of the dogs and Sunday we had a really holiday feeling. Early in the morning we drove to Purmerend to visit our friends. Over there we had a delicious breakfast. After that we drove to the beach with the 4 of us and our doggies, 2 cairn terriers, Energy and Doenja for a nice walk on the beach. After our walk we had a drink somewhere on a terrace and went back to Purmerend through a tourist way. When we arrived the lady of the house made a delicious Italian meal. In a word: a super day! This week I MUST finish at least one LO. On my desk there’s a picture from my daddy in “lederhose” waiting for an nice LO.

More than just LO’s

2007-02-15T18:46:00.000+01:00

Last Friday I found out I did not have enough photos left to scrap …..
I have LOTS of photos but not the right ones. So we decided to combine shopping in Assen with searching a direct photo printer. But there was NONE!
I got very sad and disappointed till Henk purposed to
look in the next city : Borger. But …… there was NONE!
By the time we got back home I was to tired to start scrapping. Saturday morning we went to the neighbour village and printed the photo’s there. Why did I try so hard on Friday?!

I was busy with an LO with a photo of me so I finished that one first.

Finally on Monday I started a LO with a photo I really wanted to have before the weekend. Because (I think) the photo is a beauty. I choose a clam LO. Hope you like it too.

The prommised layouts

2007-02-10T15:58:00.000+01:00

Lots of inpiration

2007-02-08T16:20:00.000+01:00

Since I have my own blog I’m very enthousiastic about making new layouts and publishing them even though not a lot of people have visted my blog so far. For me it’s a real stimulant! This week I have finished 3 layouts which for me is a record. In the past I was happy if I could scrap in the weekends. Now I just TAKE the time no matter what happens. Our neighbour, Kees, who brings me the newspaper that we share, noticed that lately I’m doing nothing else but ……. however, he knows better.

With a bit luck my dear husband will attend a fair tonight so I’ll have time to work on a new layout. When he’s at home I do (subconsciously) take his needs into consideration.

After tonight there will be more new layouts.

TOP SECRET

2007-02-05T22:14:00.000+01:00

Last weekend I’ve been working very hard to complete a LO for the Challenge at Birgit’sThat one I will public later on this week. For now it’s TOP SECRET . . .
Last Wednesday I started a simple LO about the love of my life “Henk” and finished it at the end of the week. That’s the one I published today. Saturday and Sunday morning (as usual) we trained the Siberians and Sunday afternoon we let the oldest puppies into the dogs playground. It truly was funny to see them exploring something simple as grass . . .
At the end of the playtime they were dirty as pigs but their mother taught them a lot of new lessons. And since we have a DOG DAY already, we’ve been walking with our Cairn Terrier bitches Energy & Doenja too. How about painful muscles today?Today I started an LO with an old photo of Niels and try to finish it this week . . .

I'm sooooo sorry . . .

2007-01-31T23:41:00.000+01:00

I was just a bit sad that I didn't get any comment. But this evening - at Birgit's - I found out what was wrong. My settings were not right. But now anyone can give as much comments as they like.

No scrapping

2007-01-30T18:38:00.000+01:00

Aaarrgh: Last weekend there was no time for scrap activities. Friday finaly finished the blog. Saturday we trained the dogs in the morning and then we cleaned the kennels. For the evening we were invited by friends to go out for dinner and that was realy good!!! Sunday the same ritual in the morning with the dogs. After that we ended up at my mothers place. Coming home late I fell asleep .....
I'm loooking forward for the planned cropping wednesday evening at Birgit's.

And because most of the time last weekend was for the doggies, here is some impression of the puppies.

Enough for today, finishing the blog.

But I like to show you one of the lessons Tracy White shares in the newest CK. This one really touches me: "If you want a little passion in your life, start scrapbooking. Scrapbookers are passionate".

And ..... I like to share some layouts of mine I made earlier. Have fun:-)

Finaly: My blog is ready.

With much help of son Niels I now have my own blog.
I want to mainly keep you informed of my scrapping live here.
Of course the daily things of live will be added here.
It won't be possible for me to update daily, but i'll do my best to post my newest creations.
Just check back often ;)
