Paris!!

Finally an update :)

Been on holiday for a couple of days to a friend of mine in France and I so loved it!!!
Had to travel to Paris first, stayed 3 days with my friend (and for 1,5 day it rained!! Can you believe it??) and went back to Paris again and stayed there 2 hours before my train left. Went to Sacre Coeur, so I had a marvelous view of Paris and saw all the famous attractions like Eiffeltower, Notre Dame, Centre Pompidou and Arc Triomphe. I so loved it and wish I could stay 1 or 2 days longer in Paris to shop and being a tourist, but I loved it!!!!
Here are some photos I took...

Thanks for watching my blog :)

Another one...

Made another card with the same sketch as seen at the post below this one...

Finally

To my humble opinion, I made too many cards lately, so I thought I had to make another layout.

I just love these photos of Jet, one of my cats.

She became such a beautifull cat with her own little habits... I love her!!!

Used some Basic Grey paper... love this line!!

Workshop

I rarely go to any workshops the last 2 years, an exception made for Scrap-a-Ganza, but yesterday I went to Tessa with my mother for an alcoholink-workshop.

Made a very nice card (a great addition to my Vienna-album), a teacupholder and a tag.

My mother really enjoyed herself as she has never worked with alcoholink before, so everything was new for her.

Love the copper and silver finishing touches a lot!! (read: I want it as well!!)

Loved the technique we did on the tag, so I guess I need a new pen for the blending solution as well...hehe...

Bought some more cottoncord (love it!!) and a pencilsharpener.

After the workshop we went to Heesch for the Doll Housemuseum. We didn't know we had to pay money to come in, so we only went to the shop (such beautifull things!!!).

Did enjoy yesterday a lot!

Really enjoying the weather lately!

Have been on my bike quite a few times, been to the beach and tomorrow I will go there as well :)

Well... see ya later!

Great site!

I came across this site about 2,5 weeks ago and really love it!!

You know I love to work with sketches and this site provides cool cardsketches.

So I added a blinkie to my sidebar and watch out for some more.... ;)

Finally!!!

Finally I have my summervacation!

It was a long ride this year, a lot has happened, but finally I can say I have 6 weeks off from work. Well... let's say 5,5 weeks as I always have to go back to school like the other teachers.

Have been making some cards again, will show you this evening and I did some scrapping, like this one...

Cardstock: Bazzill, Patterned paper: K & Company Berry Sweet, Flowers: Making Memories, Rub-ons: Creative Imaginations, Pen: ZIG, Brads: own stash

Nothing much happened. Been to school yesterday to get my classroom together and right now I'm quite ready for the new year.

Can't wait to go on holiday!!!

I've made some cards today and yesterday, but am unable to show them at this time :(

Will be making a layout later on during the online crop of the forum at Tessa Tegendraads. Love the sketch we're going to work with!

Rainbow in the sky

When I wanted to close my curtains this evening I saw this amazing rainbow outside.

Don't you just love rainbows?? I do and I always wanted to have rainbows on my photos.

Love them!!

Have a photo of a rainbow when I was in Vienna on holiday a couple of years ago as well and I just so love it!!

It's been a busy, very, very busy week for me.

Yesterday I had to move my class to the classroom I've been in last year and the year before.

I have the tables all set and the closets are also where I want them to be. Now I "only" have to arrange the little things for the coming schoolyear.

Finally my vacation has started and I so love it!!

Will be cleaning my house drastically, will be painting my hallway and have some more house-issues to deal with. Will be ok.

I also made a blogbanner today and got my blog a new layout. Hope you like it.

I loved the pink, totally adored it, but right now I love the clean, simple white background :)

Please tell me what you like....

Will be making a card right now... so bye bye for now :)
