Mojo is back

Oh yeah, mojo is back.... it started with jewelry making and when I put a piece of chipboard on a white cardstock it happened! One star and another one...... ink and sprays, great pics and lovely embellishments. Hooked all over again.

Here's the layout. The photo's are from our vacation in the U.K. These are made in Wales.

Lots of supplies:
Martha Stewart writing pen charcoal, MM paint capri, Ranger paint dabber gold, Tim Holtz Distress Stain picket fence, Distress Ink ice spruce and tattered rose, Inkssentials white opaque pen, Cardstock Bazzil white, Simple Stories awsome red dot/grid, Spellbinders nestabilities labels eight, Cuttlebug, Prima say it in pearls, flower allegra biscuit and butterfly, Webster Pages storytellers timeless letter, Terese Collins vintage finds die cut borders, Dutch Doobadoo art stars, Epiphany Crafts scalloped circle 25, Webster Pages your life beautiful, Ingvild Bolme black coal ink and last but not least Maya Road ticket and wood bingo motifs.

I had so much fun with this that I started (and finished) my next layout. I'll show it to you in a few days.

I'm working on redecorating my blog so the header is not matching the background yet. Also have some news but can't spill that yet! ;-)

I have a new toy

I'm so in love with Vintaj that I had to buy me the Vintaj Big Kick. With the embossing folders and metal you can do the most wonderful things. You will see in my next blog post.

Well, thank you for reading and perhaps for leaving a little message. I want to leave you with a few photo's I took this morning. DD with her favorite horse Apollo.

Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

Seems like the last two blogpost went missing here on blogger, hopefully this blogpost will stay put!
So I have to show you some layouts, 2 April challenges and 2 May layouts



This is the April 1st challenge



 

April 15th challenge, a sketch

 

 

May 1st challenge

 

and last but not least May 15th

 

I had fun playing with Gesso, mixing it with some glitter and Glimmer Glam so it was not as white anymore and had a little shine. The cut out leaves are colored with Copic Markers. The edges are scratched with the Invild Bolme tool and some Distress Ink. Loved to use some Epiphany Crafts on the layout.

 

Well, that's it for now......

Hugs,

Mieke

 

 

 

2 new layouts and some big news!

Hi all,

Two weeks ago I went away to the cabin up north with my friend Monique to create and boy.... did we create! A total of 4 layouts in 3 days. I got my hands dirty....sprayed, painted, glued and cut. Had so much fun!!

 

The first layout I like to present is one with a pic of DS, he's not easy to capture on film. I used the wonderful Glitz Design papers and I love the alpha's!

 

 

I need to get used again to write down what products I use while creating lol!

 

The next layout is one of my DD with her favorite horse called Apollo.
I used Shimmerz spritz with a Crafters Workshop template to make a custom background together with the lovely Fancy Pants papers.

 

And then the big news!

I'm on a design team again.... woooohooooo so happy!

Thank you Anne, for having me on the team.

You will see my layout on the first of next month, a wonderful challenge and on the 15th where I used a good sketch. Hope you will play along with the challenges.

 

And last but no least, you may have heard that Google Reader ends July first. I'm using Bloglovin now and loving it!

 

Have a great week!
Hugs,
Mieke

 

 

 

Finally!

Hi all, finally I have something crafty to show you. It's been a while, I've been busy with other things like a career change and a study so not much time to be creative.

Just before Christmas I made this canvas for my mum with the wonderful Prima papers Tea Thyme.

 

 

I cut a die cut sheet in two and played with the wonderful Epiphany Craft tools.

 

We've had a cold and snowy winter so far. Look at that beautiful Chesnut tree!

 

Our new German Shepard Vaya enjoys the snow so much!

She's a wonderful dog, very playful and so sweet.

 

Well, I'm working on some more canvas, will show you when it's finished!

 

Thanks for all your lovely comments in the past, I hope to read new ones soon! I love it "wink"

 

Have a great day

Hugs,

Mieke

It's been awhile!

 

Hi all,
It's been a long time since my last blogpost. I have been busy with work and other things and did not scrap at all....... Now the creativity is flowing, so feel like making beautiful pages again. And mini's of course ;-)

 

This wonderful give away I found on Facebook, it's Maya Road's.

Check it out, it's amazing!

 

 

What is your favorite line this season?

Mine is Prima's Romance Novel, just love every bit of it!

 

 

Remember our Julie died last december? Wel we have a new addition to the family.

Her name is Vaya, 5 months old now and such a sweetheart. Sometimes she is just too fast to make photo's but this time she watched some people passing by so I had the chance to a perfect photo!

 

Well, that's all folks! for now.....

Have a great weekend,

 

Hugs
