A very big secret! SSShhhhhhh I can reveal now!!

Whoooowhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm soooooooo glad I can finally share my biggest secret to all of you!!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!! I can now say I'm officially a part of the Spectrum Noir DT!!!! *doing a really, really happy dance*
I already knew this for about 2,5 month, so after working behind the scenes *lol*, today is the day I can finally reveal it.
You've already seen a couple of cards on this blog made with Spectrum Noir markers, but I just haven't told you I worked with those markers..hehehe... And there is a lot more coming!
Ik ben zo blij dat ik eindelijk mijn grootste geheim aan jullie kenbaar mag maken!!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!! Ik kan nu eindelijk officieel zeggen dat ik deel mag uitmaken van het Spectrum Noir DT!! *doet een behoorlijk grote vreugdedans*
Ik weet dit al ongeveer 2,5 maand, dus na weken achter de schermen bezig te zijn geweest, is vandaag de dag dat ik het kan onthullen.
Waarschijnlijk hebben jullie al een aantal kaarten op mijn blog gezien die met Spectrum Noir markers zijn gemaakt, maar ik heb gewoon niet verteld dat ik met deze markers gewerkt heb..hehehe... en er komt nog veel meer aan!

Today, I like to show you a card, something really different I normally show overhere, but I like to get the most out of my markers, not for just coloring stamped images.
And this technique is just perfect for it, so here's my card:
Vandaag wil ik graag een kaart laten zien, iets totaal ander dan dat ik normaal gesproken hier laat zien, maar ik wil het meeste uit m'n markers halen, niet alleen om ze te gebruiken bij het kleuren van stempelafdrukjes.
Deze techniek is er perfect voor, dus hier is mijn kaart:

If you like information how this project was made... just go to the Spectrum Noir website and visit the blog. There you will find the step by step tutorial for this card and also a lot more inspiration from the other DT-members. It's updated really regular, every day :)
Als je meer info wilt hoe dit project is gemaakt... ga naar de Spectrum Noir website en bezoek daar het blog. Daar vind je de stap-voor-stap uitleg van deze kaart en nog veel meer inspiratie van de andere DT-leden.
Het blog wordt met regelmaat geupdate, iedere dag :)

Wow... I still can't believe it *whoop whoop*

Anyways... if there's something you like to know about Spectrum Noir markers, don't hesitate to contact me, would love to help you out! :)

I just looooooooooove my Speccies (for the Dutchies: I just loooooooove spekkies, so I thought it was quite funny to name my Spectrum Noir markers Speccies *lol*)
Wow... ik kan het nog steeds niet geloven *whoop whoop*
In ieder geval... als je iets wilt weten over Spectrum Noir makers, schroom je niet om contact op te nemen, ik wil je dolgraag helpen! :)
Oh... Ik houd van mijn Speccies (Ik houd gewoon ontzettend van spekkies, dus vond het wel geslaagd om mijn Spectrum Noir markers "Speccies" te noemen en het is net wat minder lang om te noemen *lol*)


Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later on!
Bedankt voor het langskomen en ik hoop je later weer te mogen begroeten!

Christmas Cards {with sketches} #28

Hi there and welcome to another CCWS challenge.

Didn't use a colored image this time, but just stamped images and cut those out. Oh, I really love this SU-set and is so versatile!
IRL this card is pretty small, used the largest nestabilities scalloped circle and everything is right there *lol*

This time we're sponsored by "Alles om te scrappen".

Thanks so much for coming over and would love you to join us in this challenge. Oh yeah... a real challenge for me as well a round card :)

MCM #2: Merry Christmas Monday, Sunshine!

Hi there and welcome :)

Today I like to show you another Christmascard I recently made with two of my fave PTI stampsets. So versatile, which I love! Love to challenge myself using stamps in different ways.

And this is what I like to show you today... Guess I already finished my Christmas 2012 cards! *whoowhoo!!*

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you later on...

MCSC: Rainbow/Regenboog

Hi there!

It's time for another MCSC-challenge. This time we are using the theme "Rainbow". You can make a real rainbow, you can be inspired by the colors of the rainbow... just a few ideas :)
Anyways... here's my card:

Het is tijd voor een nieuwe MCSC-challenge. Deze keer gebruiken we het thema "Regenboog".
Je kunt een echte regenboog maken, je kunt geinspireerd raken door de kleuren van de regenboog... een paar ideetjes :)
Hier is m'n kaart:

Actually this is my 3rd card I made with this theme. The first 2 didn't make the camera, as I had put the colors in the wrong place *oops*
Thanks for coming over. Please visit the MCSC-blog and hope you are able to join us! :)
See you later!
Eigenlijk is dit mijn 3e kaart die ik voor deze challenge gemaakt heb. De eerste 2 hebben de camera niet gered, omdat ik de kleuren in de verkeerde volgorde had geplakt *oops*
Bedankt voor het langskomen. Neem ook even een kijkje op het MCSC-blog en ik hoop dat je meedoet! :)
Tot de volgende keer!

ABC Challenge: Q for Quilt

Hi there and welcome to another ABC Challenge.

This time it's Q for Quilt and to be honest, I really found it a hard challenge. Really had no idea what to make. Then I suddenly knew the answer... making a quilt out of hexagons!! Hmm... this idea was easily dropped, as I found it quite hard to make them without a great liner.
So when cleaning my room, found these papers, stamp and just the perfect purple ink (SU's Perfect Plum!) for this project.

And here it is...

Thanks so much for coming over. Please join us this challenge and visit the ABC Challengeblog. Thank you!

See you later! :)

Guess where I've been :)

Hi there!

Guess where I've been the last 3 days.... oh yeah.... Been in Paris, city of lights, city of loooooooooove.

Photo wasn't taken by me... got it from the internet.

 Been in Paris 2 more times, but not longer than 24 hours and the last time I only spend 2 hours around Sacre Coeur before the Thalys left to The Netherlands.
But now... 3 whole days, started last Tuesday, waking up at 5.00 am!! to get the tram of just before 6 am, train just before 7 am, to be in Paris at 9.30 am!! Whoowhoo!!
Now that's what I call making the most out of everything.

Anyways... thanks for coming over.
Oh yeah... really loooooooove Paris as well (but not as much as Londen *lol*)


By the way... this is a sceduled post (love it!). As I will still be in the Thalys going home when this post goes live *lol*
A "live"-update will follow later on :)

With Sympathy

Hi there and welcome to this blog :)

Today I like to show you a card which isn't a card you like to make daily, but is a part of this life as well.
Made some sympathy cards, just in case I need one and don't have any time to make one.

Very CAS, but I like it. No embellies at all, just 2 stamps and 2 different shades of grey ink. Love it!


Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you later!
