She has a "Pay it Forward" thing she got from another website and now it's my turn....

"Pay it forward is a wonderful thing that is going on in the blogger world. Once some one has payed it forward to you, you pic three people to pay it forward to. Here in this blogger world, you pick the first three people that comment your blog. Here's the quote for the rules:“I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”I look forward to making some one smile soon!Please leave a message with you e-mail adress and Pay it Forward by posting this message on your own weblog.

Feel free to leave a message as well if you are living outside the Netherlands."

So please.... leave a message with your email and your blog so we can all Pay it Forward :) Thanks!!

Will be creative within a few minutes.
I'm trying to make a header for my blog.... so wish me luck ;)

1000+ visitors and being creative...

Wow!

Can't believe I've had over 1000 visitors the last couple of months (2 or so...), so thank you all very much for visiting my blog :)

Many changes have been around overhere and one of the changes is I will be getting a Kindergarten group 2 next year.
The last 7 years I've had a group 1.
8 years ago I graduated from the PABO (school to become a teacher) and in my final course I also had a group 1 and after my graduation they made an extra group 1 and I was going to teach them, this was group 1d.
And now... after all those years, a group 1 is disappearing, and I'm the one who's going to group 2 after all those years... pretty funny in my humble opinion :)
So that will be a huge change for me.
I will be getting 3 of my kids who are now in my group, 9 others will be going to the other 2 group 2.
And 9 other children who are still in group 1 next year, will go to the other 3 teachers, so I'm really nervous how they will react :)

Anyways.... I guess 2008 is the year of changes for me. Personal and professional :) And with changes I mean HUGE changes for me **LOL**

Well...

I managed to get a photo of one of the projects I made for Tessa. I made this wallhanging with the newest papers of Sandylion's Kelly Penacci. Also used stickles, purple paint dabber, Junkitz jumprings, Kelly Penacci chipboard and photos of me at Scrap-a-Ganza last June meeting loads of cool people, like Donna Downey, CD and Jenn Starr. Love them all!!

Can you see I just amazed Tessa?? **LOL**

This week I also received the Magnolia Stampkit and I so love those stamps. Today I mounted them on EZ-mount and can't wait to work with them. I love them!!


Here I have a couple of cards I made today.

Stamps: StampingBella, cardstock: ClubScrap, Punch: EK Success (border) and Fiskars (small punches in the border), brads: unknown, Pencils: Derwent, ink: StazOn

2 colleagues of mine are pregnant. Will give them these cards this Monday.

Also made some birthday-cards for 2 people and a kid who's going to be 5 next week.

Stamps: StampingBella, cardstock: ClubScrap, brads: unknown, Pencils: Derwent, ink: StazOn

Stamps: SugarNellie, Cardstock: ClubScrap, brads: Karen Foster, ink: StazOn, pencils: Derwent

So I guess the creativity is getting back on track.
Only 2 more weeks to work, and after that..... getting a holidaybreak for 6 weeks!!! (oh... probably 5 as I have to make loads of things for my new class these weeks....)

See ya later!!

Some new goodies!!

Oh... I just love my new goodies.

This week I received a letter from the mailman my box was delivered at my neighbour's. Only one little problem: he didn't write down which one, so I asked 5 neighbours, but none of them recieved my package :(

So I phoned the office this Friday to ask if they knew where my package was, and they told me it was at the postoffice... **grrrrrrrrr**

So yesterday I finally had time to go there and just look at my new goodies:

I just love Stampin'Up!!

Bought some ribbonholders, more ribbon (who can live without it?? not me!!) and 3 punches.

Will make some with it this evening. Can't wait!!

Stupid me...

Let me just tell you how stupid I've been yesterday...

I totally forgot to take photos of the items I made!!!

I will ask Tessa if she can make some, so I can put them overhere on my blog.

Coming back to my blogcandy.... none of you guessed it right what I showed you :(

I altered a Maya-road tin with some Ranger distress crackle, put some Sandylion stickers on it, a bit of ribbon and what you saw are the 3 Prima flowers on top of the tin.

Inside the tin are handmade cards made with the new Kelli Penacci-line of papers.

Here you can see the tin with one of the cards... though it's a sneak as well...sorry **oops**

Yesterday I've been to a forumday at Tessa's. It was a blast. Really met cool people and we were pampered a whole day long.

Made 2 cakes and didn't need to bring leftovers home, as there weren't any :)

Here are some photos of yesterday.... enjoy!

Just a sneak

Of a project I've just created for Tessa Tegendraads. Will bring it with me this Saturday as they've a forumday where we all meet each other in person. Really looking forward to it.

I know some people who are coming, but most of them I only know from the forum.

So here's the little sneak...

If you know what I made... please leave a comment and maybe there's even some blogcandy to win ;)

I tell you it will probably not be easy to guess it, but who knows...

I will show the whole project this Saturday, so you have time to comment until Saturday 7.30 am (European time = GMT + 1 hour) and I will pick a winner 7.35 am (European time = GMT +1 hour), just in time before I leave for the forumday.

Changes haven't stopped this week, big changes are probably coming within 2 weeks time... well... what can I say...hehe... just nothing about it really :)

Will update about it soon :)

Will also show you a sneak Saturdaymorning of another project I made for Tessa. Will also bring that one with me, so I've been pretty busy scrapping and I love it!!

I'm so glad my mojo came back with SAG, it's so much fun to create things again like the old days ;)

Goodies and cards

Been to Tessa Tegendraads yesterday to give a staralbum-workshop and as always, I couldn't resist the lovely goodies!!
Bought some new papers of Daisy D's and Sandylion. Also bought some maskingtape, EZ mount and a paintdabber. Can't wait to create something with it!!


And look what I got from Tessa for joining their team!
Can you imagine going to work with all those incredible goodies???
I sure can!!
Got the newest lines of Kelly Penacci and Sandylion with some cool embellishments from the same "Artsy" and "Girl"-line. Also got some Maya Road chipboardshapes, Junkitz jumprings, purple Stickles, purple ribbon and some awesome Prima flowers!!
Also got great Kelly Penacci-stamps and a Making Memories paint effects kit for the workshop. Love all the goodies!!
These photos aren't uploading the way they should be... have to find out why...


Also made 2 cards recently...
This one is for my uncle (one of the many..hehe). He celebrated his birthday yesterday.

Cardstock: ClubScrap, Stamps: StampingBella(man with beer) and Hero Arts (sentiment), ink: Colorbox and StazOn, pencils: Derwent

Made this card for a cousin of mine who's living together with his girlfriend since a few weeks. Just to wish them love and some good times together.

Thanks for watching....

**bye bye from Holland**

Wow!!!

Since today I'm a proud member of....

You can't imagine how honoured I am being asked to join their team of designers!

Did a workshop today at Tessa Tegendraads, a staralbum, went very well, enjoyed myself a lot and all of the attendees left with a good vibe, feeling really proud of what they did (they have to finish their album though... only the layouts though) and they were really proud of themselves as well and even bought more paper to make another album at home!

Will give an update tomorrow **jumping from joy**

**bye bye from Holland**

Show me some...

CARDS!!!!


Yes, here are the cards I made recently and gave you a sneak preview from in my last post.
They were very simple to make, but I really loved making them and I think things don't always have to be overwhelming.

This is the card I made for an old friend who's getting married Friday 13th June, so that's tomorrow. Hope she'll have so much better weather than today, as she deserves a sunshiney day!!

Stamp: Stampingbella, cardstock: Bazzill, patterned paper: PaperSalon, ribbon: Stampin'Up, ink: colorbox, pencils: Derwent coloursoft, glitter: stickels/Ranger

Made this card about 6 times. Just to thank some familymembers for collecting seals for some forks, knives and spoons.

Stamps: Penny Black (frog) and Hero Arts (sentiment), cardstock: ClubScrap, pen: ZIG, pencils: Derwent

Wanted to finish my apron this afternoon, but something of the sewingmachine broke, so me and my mother needed to buy that thing. Luckily the sewingstore had it, so we bought it and went back to my place.
My father installed the item and I was able to sew again.
I think my apron is looking really cool. I wore it last weekend at Scrap-a-Ganza and people recognized me easily. Even some teachers did.
I was having a workshop from Melodee Saturday-evening and also last Monday-afternoon. She saw me this Monday and asked me where my apron was!!
So funny to notice people are going to recognize me by this thing, and I must say it's a really "ME"-apron. Just love it and my hands also love it..hehe
When my hands are dirty, I just clean them on my apron... very handy indeed!! Will show you mine when totally finished. I was able to wear it at SAG, but it wasn't totally finished back then...

Feedback is always welcome....*LOL*
