Here it is...

...the LO I could only show a little piece of in my last post.

It's not easy to make a good picture of a LO on a white background using transparencies, but this will do:

My two cheerful daughters living life in full color, always! :)

   

The black edge isn't there in real I just added it to make sure the LO doesn't disappear in the background. And in real things are straight :)

And another LO I finished yesterday. It looks like Anne is considering what to eat at McDonald's. Fact is she has not eaten ANY meat for more then 1,5 year now, so the only choice she has here is McFish... and a McFlurry (M&M's) for dessert please! :)

 

Thanks for stopping by and your comments!

Enjoy the sweet life!

Back home

from a busy, wonderful, fun weekend!

The workshop on Saturday in Heesch was great! A fun group of women and a little girl who were very enthusiastic and creative. We made a couple of LO's using paint, bubble wrap, Hambly, clear tape and rubons. I had a really nice day!

I spend the night in Wijchen in my PIL's house but first I had a lovely diner and evening at my brother- and sister in law.

On Sunday morning I drove to Kars in Ochten to teach make-and-takes at the KKD. The people from Prima Inc. brought awesome kits from America! Oh how I loooovvee those Prima goodies!!! It was sooo nice to meet everybody (again), all the shop owners, the people from Kars, (blog)friends....

I had a great time, both Sunday and Monday, very busy but fun. On Monday I had the opportunity of doing a make-and-take myself, I made a bracelet, my first one ever and I very much like it! I'm not sure, but I might try this again, it was not that hard to do :)

 

When I got home yesterday this lovely card was waiting for me. Suus' send it to me for winning the RAK! Thanks Suus, it's gorgeous!

Well then, I will leave you with a sneaky of the LO I started during class on Saturday to show some possibilities with Hambly on your LO. I finished it today. The pictures I took of it were all crap though so you will get to see the whole piece later this week! :)

 

That's it for now! Off to see Dr. House (on t.v. :))

Pencillines #100

First of all congratulations to the pencillines team. 100 is quite a number!!

Although I never really participated in any of their challenges I always enjoy visiting the Pencillines blog to find inspiration there! This time, when I saw the sketch, I had this image of a LO in my head right away and I thought  this # 100 anniversary would be a good time to join in :)

So here's my take on the sketch.

Please stop time!

Journaling is about my little girl, that she will be 6 in a few months, that's she already in first grade and that she can do so many things all by her self, without my help. It feels like in only a little while she won't be needing me anymore...

Now I have to pack some bags. I have a busy weekend ahead. On Saturday I will be teaching at Creatief met Foto's in Heesch, on Sunday and Monday I will be doing make-and-takes for Prima at the KKD at Kars in Ochten. Looking forward to both events :) Maybe we'll meet?!

BTW: This weekend is your last chance of signing up for our "Summer is over workshop" on september 20th. It's going to be fun!! Go to The Buzz or e-mail me at birgit@thecreativebuzz.net. It's a whole day that will take place in Winsum (Gn.) and we provide a lovely lunch! Don't miss out! :)

Great findings and a LO

Look what I found at Action yesterday. Aren't they way cool! Totally love them!

And also this decorative tape for only 0,17 euro per role!

Cool huh?!

Called this LO "Birds of a feather". My two sweet daugthers definitely come from the same nest! :)

The birds are Heidi Swap Ghost shapes. I colored them with 2 paint dabbers and outlined them with a black marker.

The fun text button is from HEMA (a dutch store) just like these, don't you just love them?:

Thanks for your visit! My crop starts in 20 minutes, see you later :)

RAK-winners and a lovely weekend...

And here they are, the winners Random.org choose to receive a nice RAK! Congratulations ladies! Please e-mail me your addies at scrappen@birgitkoopsen.nl! I hope you will like what I send you!! :)

Brave girl and brave parents!!! I wish Polish hospitals looked like that one on the photos. My visit to the hospital when my Jeremi was one month old and caught pneumonia was a nightmare...

First of all well done Marlijn!! And I'm impressed with you guys taking pictures in these circumstances!!
As for your RAK give-away... I know what your scraproom looks like, so I'm pretty sure those RAKs will be awesome and I'd love to participate :-)

Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments!

We had a lovely weekend with my in-laws. The weather was wonderful, probably the nicest weekend of this whole terrible Dutch summer! J After coffee and cake and a lovely lunch we went somewhere to play midget golf. We had dinner at the Pannenkoekenbakker, outside on the terrace with a little playground right next to our table, just perfect! The food was great! Later we sat in the garden until after midnight, just talking and laughing and having a good time! Sunday was also spend in the garden and a walk around the little lake where my parents in law near by. So a very relaxed and nice weekend!

Marlijn made her grandparents a wonderful scrapbook page, which the loved of course! J

Thanks again for stopping by, have a great week all of you!!
