So...

... it's been a while... AGAIN! Hehe... I guess bloggin' is a bit too much for me right now. But everything is going fine. I really really really love being back to work. I'm too busy to scrap right now. But I made two cards today. Can show you only one, because the other one is for my sister's birthday (on April 2nd). So you have to wait until then...
Made this card for my mom with the Dahlia Folding Technique. It's very easy and I think it looks very beautiful.



Oh... I told you I had a little toot to share, huh? Well... I can reveal the secret now: I'm one of the new Dutch Quickutz DT-members! Isn't that awesome?

Did you see the new Scrap! Magazine? It's in stores right now!!! Here's a little sneak of my work:


Thanks for visiting my blog!

Finally...

... here I am again. Oh my... I don't know where to start, but life is so hectic around here lately.

I will start with the news about my voice. Well... what can I say: it's still not ok, but slowly it's improving. So I guess I need to be a very very very patient (and quiet) girl. Yesterday I went to school for a meeting with my boss... I was a little bit scared to go back there, because it's been 4 months since I was there. I'm really happy that I took the step, it was really nice to see all of my colleagues and students. The students really missed me (off course I knew that already, they wrote me lots of cards and sweet notes), so that gave me a good feeling.
Now I will be back in the school for two days a week, but not as a teacher. My voice won't let me do what I love most, so now I'm going to write a new teaching method for my classes (I teach Dutch). I think this is a nice challenge too and I can honestly say thay I'm looking forward to get back to work.

The weekend at my mother's place was great! I really needed that! My mom is such a sweetheart! And Julian adores her (and she adores him ;)). Here's my favorite pic of that week:


I didn't do a lot of scrapping lately, but I can show you something. I made a little quotebook (4"x4") with my new Bind It All. I really LOVE this tool!!!




I also have a nice TOOT to share... but you have to wait a little bit longer for that one...

Finally I will leave you with a picture of me and my adorable little boy, taken last weekend. We spent the weekend with my father's family. It was a great weekend, but also a little bit sad, because my father died almost 4 years ago... but it was so good to see my aunt, uncle, nieces and nephews. We live very far from each other and we do not see each other very often. Some of them never even met Julian in real life. They were in love, that's for sure! ;)

I've been a bad bad blogger...

... I'm so sorry! But I really didn't feel well the last couple of weeks... my voice still lets me down and I really need a break! So tomorrow I will be off to Den Helder. Julian and I are going to stay with my mom for a little week. Sunday we'll be back... I promise to visit your blogs next week!

Too bad I'm not home on Valentines Day, but I made Otto a card (off course!). The scan is really not doing justice to the card, but I couldn't get it any better. I used a Pink Cat Studio stamp (Sweet Treats)... doesn't it looks yummie?


supplies used: cardstock, stamps (Pink Cat Studio, Technique Tuesday), craft foam, ribbon (The Ribbon Spool), Edding markers, Stickles, Stazon

Have a great Valentines Day!

Bella Bella Bella!

I really am a Stamping Bella addict at the moment! I love the Bella's, Fella's and Baby's. But I also LOOOOOOOOOOVE the Sentiments that go with the images! Last week I finished two Bella cards and a Bella bookmark:

Ladies Day workshop

This sunday Boukje and I will give a workshop cardmaking to the woman of Otto's family. Last year we had a Ladies Day also, then we made a paperbag mini album. Boukje and I were very busy making examples for the woman. Here are a few of them:



Off to make some more examples now... I will show you the rest of the cards later. Have a good weekend!
