Nikki Sivils at CHA

Look at that!

Thanks to Julie Tucker I can show you this photo of my work hanging at CHA in Nikki Sivils booth. I'm sooooo proud...... Thanks Julie! (do visit her blog and Nikki's, you can find there some great CHA photo's and info) This is the eh.... can you call this a layout..... before sending it off to the States.
remember I showed you the steps of how I made this frame?

Funny, I'm thanking Julie for the photo and her name shows up here.... Lol! Our German Shepard is called Julie as well!

On this bread(less) tab I put some Glossy Accents and sprinkled glitters on it.

I also made a card with U R My Favorite

Sorry for the blurry pic, see the cute button?

And a tag, sprayed with Glimmer Mist, then stamped on with clear ink using the U R My Favorite stamps and heat embossed with Blonde Moments.

And another layout using U R My Favorite

The brads are so cute. I made the flowers with two different Nestabilities dies, Shimmerz Paints and Glossy Accents by Ranger.

These are the new buttons

And two of the new lines

Flaming Butterfly

Willow Bee Thanks so much for looking, hope you like it!

Will show you more new lines and another CHA layout soon

Prima's sketch contest

So have you seen Prima's blog lately? OMG, there is so much beautiful things coming.

Wish I would be at CHA at the moment to see it all.

But instead I'm scrapping, found this sketch (due today so if you wanna play, hurry!).

10 photo's on one page, it sure is a lot.
I used photo's of our vacation of 2006, it was so hot, all we did was hanging around the pool and when we wanted to visit something we had to do it early in the morning.
I used the Prima papers "the Tropics" and lots of Distress ink on the edges. Shimmerz Paints on the edges of the paper pieces under the photo's, on the flowers and the butterflies. The butterflies are cut out with the Cuttlebug with a Spellbinders die. The crystals are also Prima's.

I sprayed some colors of Glimmer Mist on the Maya Road chipboard swirl and then did some heat embossing (Blond Moments) with a Tim Holtz stamp.

The alpha is from Pink Paislee (red) and Basic Grey (yellow).

thanks for looking!

Hugs, Mieke

Be you

Friday again, this week went by so fast. I have had some quality time to scrap.

I'm gonna show you the layout I made for the Page Call at Pagemaps. It would have been cool, but I didn't get an email so I guess I didn't make it. Lol!

It was a very nice sketch to work with, but I was a bit naughty by using 2 photo's instead of 3 as was asked. Aye....... I so wanted to use these photo's of Mara and they just were not small enough to use 3. Too bad!
I started with a white piece of Bazzil cardstock, sprayed Olive Vine Gllimmer Mist and added some Webster Pages papers.

The border is Bazzil sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist.

The Prima flowers were white, sprayed with Olive Vine and Creme de Chocolate then added some Burgundy Shimmerz Paints to the edges.

The crystals are Prima's, the ornament is MM.

Take a look at Moniques blog, she also did this sketch and it turned out so different but oh so pretty!

Thank you for looking and have a great weekend, were getting some more snow here!

This came last friday

Look at this, it's the January main kit of My Creative Scrapbook and it was delivered at my door last friday! I'm soooooooo happy with it. I was looking for the Tattered Angels cards for so long and now I can play with them. Already sprayed on with the gold and an orange color of Glimmer Mist. And look at those flowers. I know, I'm a flower addict........

The Lily Bee paper is so nice, going to make a layout with a photo of our dog.

Only two more months and Monique and I are going on a scrapweekend to Ommen. Do you know there's a brand new scrapstore there? Oh we're so lucky!!

Now I'm off to make a White Chocolate and ricotta cheesecake for Robin's birthday tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Scrappin' for myself

No sketch, not for a call, no kit or any other challenge. Finally a layout for myself. That's fun!

I used Jenni Bowlin, Basic Grey and Crate papers.

It's also about me, on one of my favorite horses.

Laine, she's such a sweetie but so big! I neede a chair to get on her back.

Lot's of Prima flowers and crystals.

Stiched with very sweet soft pink color from Tilda.

In the corner I did some heat embossing with black color.

Difficult color, see how it sticks even without ink?

Thanks for looking and keep warm!

Mixed Media Tags

Reading my latest Somerset Studio magazine I had to try my new Beeswax and the Hot Wax Art Stylus Tool (bought on Ebay) so I started with a tag and this is how the first one turned out.

Not bad at all for a first, right?

Here I start taking picture of the second tag so you can follow the steps I made.

Started with Snowflake, Gold and

Harvest Orange by Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and added some Shimmerz Spritz Eucalyptus.

Then took some bubble plastic and added some water to my Distress Crackle Paint.

The sticker is by Crafty Secrets.

Now it's time to heat up the Hot wax tool. The rub-ons by Basic Grey and October Afternoon are rubbed later on the beeswax like the Ranger Perfect Pearls Blue Patina.

Then added some red (SS10) stones with the Hotfix.

Hope you like the result! Thanks for looking,

Hugs,

Mieke

My post on Nikki Sivils blog

Let I start this post with wishing you all a happy and creative new year.

May all your dreams come true.

It's the 4th of the month again and that means that you can find me on Nikki Sivils blog. This time with a personal layout with U R My Favorite. A few month ago Nikki held a contest with the DT Divas. The winner is invited to go to CHA, meeting Nikki, Dan and Susan.

This was my chance.

To go to CHA.... it must feel like a kid in a candy store.

So I made this layout the day after reading about the contest.
These flowers are handcut with little Prima flowers on top.
The shoe is from a mini album by Maya Road, clued some paper on it and coated it with Rangers' Glossy Accents. The label is printed from internet. Alpha is also Prima just like the crystals.

I love this little flag. Sprayed it with Shimmerz Spritz and stamped with Nikki's alpha stamps. I put some floss around the wooden stick.

In the back you see Gesso sprayed with Shimmerz Spritz.

Have you seen the Prima blog yet? Lots of sneaks for CHA.

You might also love Nikki Sivils' sneaks

And Graphic 45, love their Le Romantique line.

Will let you know if I find some more sneaks that I love.....

Sweet dreams for tonight and thanks for stoppin' by.

Ps. I didn't win the contest...... cry..... cry....
