So true

You Should Watch a Fantasy Movie

You are highly creative and brilliant. You have a million thoughts flowing at once. In your mind, anything is possible. And you like your movies to be that way as well. You like to be taken away on an incredible journey. You like to see things you've never dreamed of seeing. In some ways, you never grew up. You're still fascinated by make believe... only the stories are much more complex now.

What Kind of Movie Should You Watch Tonight?

LOL, so true! Specially the brilliant part :P What did the test tell you? (btw: I'm going to watch House M.D. tonight, again, love that show!)

Be sure to come back tomorrow, new kit!!

Oh, and I'm looking for a designers assistant. With my work starting again tomorrow, and this new baby on his way, I could sure use some help with the non-designing part of my job. Are you an organised person? Then check out the profile here! Tell all your friends I'm searching! THANKS

Oh2: do you know a good ad-service? I'm looking for that too :) Please enable me!

Sail Away with me!

As the last day of my summer break approches, I have a new kit for you in store: Sail Away. It will be perfect for all the beach pictures, pics made on boats or even just pool pictures, cause it has a lot of blues and sand-colors in it. But wait, there's more! I've gone completely wild with this kit, and created 2 alphas AND a QP-set to match! Don't worry, you can get it all in one set for a great price. Let me show you!

I scrapped!

I did a lot of scrapping this summer break, too much to show you (and I don't want to bore you LOL). I scrapped a babybook for my nephew using only my own stuff. For Leonies book I rarely use my own stuff! I use other designers stuff in scrapping to inspire me. So this was a double challenge, cause I have never scrapped for someone else before. But I think it turned out pretty nice! I just have to let the parents tell me some stories to journal, and then it's done!

Yesterday I got pointed to a new-to-me blog, with a new-to-me designer. I picked up some lovely freebies, and today she posted a challenge on her blog. Since I love her style, I just had to try it! Here's what I did:

I journaled about what I learned from working with children and seeing Leonie grow up. I really believe that with the right environement children are able to educate themselves by experimenting a lot. I've learned this from teaching (specially 4-5-6 year olds), and this believe has grown stronger now that I can watch Leonie educate herself. I totally love watching her!!

On Thursday I participated in a SpeedScrap at Scrapable, hosted by the lovely Lindsay aka Spinky Dink Scraps. I joined the chat at step #6 or something... darn timezones! But I managed to get something done by the end of the SS, so I was proud of myself ;)

I used a kit I designed, but it will not be released yet. Hehehe, sneaky peeky!

This journaling is about our summer break. As soon as it started, Leonie stated she wanted to go to 'the beach'. This is funny, cause she has never seen a real beach in her life, so where did she get that idea? To celebrate the start of summer break, we took her to a swimming pool for the first time in her life. She got to pick her own swimming shorts, I showed her some lovely pink, girly ones with flowers, but she picked this one, blue shorts with Miffy LOL. She totally loved going to the pool, but after this day the summer weather was over in The Netherlands. Until this week! So yesterday we took her again, to the same pool. We had a lovely time!

Only one more week, and then my work starts again. Leonie will go back to preschool (she goes there one morning and one afternoon per week) and to the babysitter (she goes there 2 days a week), and our lives will turn back to normal. I only have to work 9 weeks till my pregnancy leave starts, so I think time will go really fast!

Ok, enough blabla, please visit Three Paper Peonies blog and leave her some love when you download her goodies. If you like the style of the layout, you will love her stuff!

Time Stood Still


Summer All The Way


Couch Cuddles

What else have I been up to? Well, I did a LOT of scrapping, finished all the pages I need for another book for Leonie, and I have been working on a book for my nephew (my first S4O project!). And I have been designing a LOT too, but there's nothing I can show you yet. I'm working on numerous collabs and have created some minis for Scrapable and charity. I have an amazing mojo these days, so I plan to keep using it for 2 more weeks. After that it's back to work! Well, only 9 weeks, after that my pregnancy leave starts *yay*
