Happy Birthday

 

My entry for the More Than Words Challenge .

New Beginnings is for me Scrapbooking.

I hardly did any scrapbooking the last years, because I started thinking:

for who, where to store them, the kids will not keep them one day etc etc 

I overthought it because I miss my scrapbooking .

And now this is a new beginning for me, more time on my hands for scrapbooking, having fun.

And I do it for myself, if thrown away some day.....well , doesnt botter me than anymore :) 

For the creative challenge I did stick my overload of black and white washi to a paper.

Than I cut flowers and leaves from the paper.

It gave me good cutouts, very sturdy. 

I also used this behind my picture.

On her own......more than words

A busy month ,

 but I managed to make some time to play along with the  More than Words

July challenge

The background paper and every peace on the layout is 

OLD STASH

I was happy with the idea, I dont use my stash enough.

Thanks for visiting my blog

Well dressed

When I saw the moosboard at Scrap the Girls this month.., 

I had to think of one of my granddaughters.

Well, if someone is dressed well every day it is this little lady.

I dont think she will be unsure about the boys in her life.

Untill now at least.......feel free!

Pastel baby

A picture I wanted to scrap already for a long time.....

One of my granddaughters on a cold day in the start of spring.

Perfect possibillities for pastel colors...

I was inspired by the April moodboard from More than Words

Pastels and baby....

I really wanted to use pastels, but I did not want sweetness overload pastels.

I used some pressed leaves and kept my pastels very soft.

|I did not use the word baby, because the baby is already on the picture :) 

And the lovely moodboard|:

Guestdesign layout for 13 arts

The twins on the picture are two of my grandsons. 

It was the first time together in a bed without machines on them. 

They had a difficult start after they were born 10 weeks early. 

The Marchmoodboard from 13 arts spoke to me as natural and tender. 

I used a lot of real Edelweiss and greenery I dryed myself . 

As my background I took The natural beauty paper from Rose fields colection. 

This paper gave me the feeling of a ultrasound picture you get when you are pregnant. 

So I let the boys sleep safely inside .

The moodboard

Mixed media place , the lost layout for December moodboard

The colors in the middle picture from the moodboard inspired me .

After the 1st Januari I feel spring coming up. 

I know it takes a long time still, but I feel it will come again.

Working on my blog I was so stupid to remove the post with my challenge layout.

So here it is again, now I will not touch the post anymore :)

Masculine....

I find it hard to scrap masculine layouts, but we cant forget about the men in our lives.

I have a lot of  them, so many layouts are masculine.

No flowers or feminin details and embellishments ...it makes it harder.

But sometimes it is nice to leave all the sweetness away .

I was inspired by the 7 dots Studio Januari moodboard .

Especially the colors

And used a lot of their products on this layout.

Paper, stamps etc.

Goals and journaling

Doelen (goals) , this year no goals I have to get.

I looked at my youngest grandson and thought about goals .

Do very little children have goals? 

They reach new goals every day, but they dont make them for theirselves.

Thats a nice thought , and my idea for this year.

My journaling is in Dutch , but it is about that what I just wrote here.

I added many layers, but managed to keep the page very flat.

I dont want to many bulky pages in the albums.

I had so much fun making this layout, I missed scrapbooking .

I really want to try and make some pages now and than.

I used the moodbaord from More than Words

Collages....

Love to make collages......clean and fun to do inbetween other things

Tupac Shakur

I get a lot of questions to make posters like this.

I take a good poster, add clear gesso on both sides.

It makes the poster look matt.

Than I take modeling paste , mix in sand or color or both.

And just spread it random .

It gives a grunch feeling .

Petticoat for 13 Arts 

I was very busy the last two years, stopped all my social media and painted .

Last month I saw a layout somewhere on the internet and ..

scrapbook fever grabbed me again.

I have to be creative for myself again, and had big fun making this page...

I even had to make a new blog  and it feels great :) 

I was inspired by the moodbaord just by the word pettycoat..

I love this picture of my granddaughter , very rustical.

She wears a petticoat over ALL her clothes , its a addiction :)
