My scrappin' life

My first 2 workshops for Scraptastic 2012

October 5-7, 2012 the by now famous International Scraptastic event will take place for the third time in Belgium.

This time it will be even bigger than last time, including a convention with multiple scrapbook- and stamping stores where you can shop. And who doesn't like to shop?? ;)

There will be 9 teachers from the USA, the Phillippines, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland and Belgium teaching a large range of different scrapbook, mixed media and photography workshops.

Look at this amazing list of names: Teresa Collins, Donna Downey, Iris Babao Uy, Sharon Laakkonen, Ingvild Bolme, Anna Dabrowska, Tanya Watts, Loredana Bucaria, Corinne Delis and little ol' me :)

Here are the first 2 of 3 workshops I will be teaching that weekend:

Scraptastic was fantastic!!!

Yes it was!! I had a wonderful time, great people, great enviroment, great food and the best possible roommate,Nat Kalbach! We had so much fun and very little sleep. Evelien and Katrien did an awesome job organisingthis all! I forgot to make any pictures at all but luckily other people did, so these are all borrowed :)

Nat and I saw this rainbow on our way from our hotel to the event.

Me teaching :) Can you tell we had fun!???

Ohhh happy days!

Ohhh happy days! Days worth to be remembered, pictures that are worth a special place!
In this workshop we will be working with a blackboard photo box and the beautiful Garden Variety Collection of Cosmo Cricket, Jenni Bowlin stickers and Color Conspiracy transparencies. We will be making a mini album in bright summer colors and you’ll be surprised about the amount of pictures and journaling that will fitt in there!

Scraptastic workshop "design your own life" and taking a little break...

 

Click here for more information!

We decided to take a 2 day break over Easter. Anne has to work on Sunday afternoon and is going to “Spring”, a music event, in the evening. She stays the night at a friend’s house and has to work again on Monday (she’s a waitress in the local Chinese Restaurant). Besides that she’s not keen on sharing bedrooms with us anymore, so Erik, Lennart, Marlijn and me will be sharing a family room in a nice hotel at a Frysian lake. The weather is probably not great so we will take books, laptops, nintendos and magazines and spend most of the time in the closed veranda and relax! Read a little, eat a little, drink a little…

Of course we could do this at home but the “being-served-and-not-need-to-clean-up-afterwards” part is what makes it so nice to go away! J Because even when you’re free there’s always something that needs to be done at home. Even if it’s just the cooking and the dishwashing…

Maybe I will update about our little holiday while we’re there, if not I’ll be back on Tuesday!

I leave you with some of the Easter tree ornaments I made last year for Creatief met Foto's:

 
Have a wonderful Easter weekend!!

Enjoy the good life!
