I had a wonderful time designing for Citrus Twist but decided not to reapply. I love working for Altenew and I felt I wasn't able to do both at the same time. I made this layout just before leaving on vacation and completely forgot to share it. I love the bright colours and think they match the goofy photo perfectly. 

The following two layouts I made just for fun. They really are the best layouts because the whole process is completely free. I love making my assignments but there are always constraints to take into account. When I scrapbook for fun I just go with the flow.

I'm currently working on a new blog schedule that will start in September. I hope to have at least one post a week and will be adding a couple of new themed items and challenges.

Thank you for stopping by and if you have anything you'd like to see here just pop it in the comment section.

Happy Scrapping

Getting back into it

Hello .... 
It has been a while. I have been resting and trying to get back into shape. I still experience pain daily but it is manageable and I'm working on strengthening my back. It is a long healing process and I might have a relapse but I am feeling a lot better. Getting to know my body and learn how to move correctly will in the long run help me. My back is my weak spot and I'll have to learn how to function differently.

I have been scrapbooing LOADS and I'm starting on filming my new class next week. I have so much to do but it'll be such fun. Today I have two layouts to show and I'll be back on Tuesday with a video.

This layout was created for a guest blog post at the CraftyMavenGetaway for a TwoPeas Throwback series.

The second I made for the Design Team call for HipKit club. I wanted to get back into the DT business and decided to have a go. Unfortunately I didn't get picked. I really just wanted to get scrapbooking again and making two new layouts for the call got me back in the groove.
This is one of the layouts. White space, layers, a little reminder in the corner: all things I love in a layout.

 See you soon.

 

Just around the corner

I prepared a video and a layout for a collaboration. Sadly the person organising wasn't feeling too well and it was cancelled but I can so my layout and video here. One thing I have learnt over the years is that we should first take care of ourselves. Sometimes we forget and we keep going on and on until one day we just can't. Our body shuts down. I hope my dear friend will feel better soon. 

Valentine's day is just around the corner. I don't really celebrate it because I believe we should show our love and affection for people all year round. Love should always come first. If it is love for others or ourselves. So here is a layout all about love. I used one of the very rare photos of my husband and I. And I think my sister's wedding photographer captured us perfectly.

I'll be back on Sunday with another video.

How sweet ...

Just popping by to show a layout I created using my Silhouette Cameo. Still love using it. I go through periods when I make most layouts with it and then I switch to something else. I have had it for 4 years now and think it is one of the best investments I made. 

Absolutely sweet

Busy. I thought that December was a busy month but January hasn't been very calm either. Once I'm back in the groove I'll start making videos again. Just need to get things sorted out a bit. I slowed down a bit on the scrapbooking side last year and I got back into music. I LOVE it but miss creating though I do still create. I hope this year I'll be able to continue scrapbooking and doing the things I love.

I created this layout a couple of days ago. Simple but I really love it.

Supplies: Studio Calico December kits.

Dream and let your mind wander

First of all, let me wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. May it be filled with love, health and creativity. I hope to keep on creating this year and start making more videos and teaching more classes. Here is my first layout of the year.

Robin is such a special boy. All my boys are. He has the ability to absord every word and every action and has an amazing memory. I hope he'll go through life and dream as he does.

Geometrical Designs with GLITZ

I love using geometrical designs on my layouts and while I was browsing through Pinterest I came across this inspiration piece:

I spent quite some time trying to recreate the same design with my silhouette designer software. It isn't perfect but looks pretty similar. I cut out the shapes and puzzled them all together. I kept the negative cut for a later project.The layout came together really quickly and I kept it really simple as I wanted the design to stand out.

Diamonds and leaves
