On Sketchbook Saturday I found this nice sketch.

Made a simple birthday card with it.

The paper is form Crate, styleboard (strangely all papers beautiful on 1 side, ugly on the back ;)

SOUS Kim

You can use the sketch in many ways, and the picture is beautiful in the centre...


I made a layout with (part of and a bit photoshopped) a picture of my mum in 1963 ... not looking to bad for a mother of 4 young children ...

I've used authentic paper, lots of small strips and stamping and spraying. Love the Leeza Gibbons flowers, the colors are vibrant!

Sometimes I look at my old albums and really enjoy some layouts. Some are a bit bare without the sprays etc. but I noticed that paper, flowers and pictures often are more present in de the layout. So maybe a good reason to put the mixed media MM down for a while. Are there more scrapbookers that are a bit tired of MM???

Greetz, have a great weekend!

SOUS The Happydress

This layout didn't come easy. I tried some new things with the background but it was not good. So, I took the middle part of and made a different, simple background. Better, but stil not strong. The pictures are wonderful, Iris in the dress I bought for her in Disney Paris, so happy. The paper is super, Prima, lovely. But not a strong match I think.

Ok next time better, I hope.

Here it's about 30 degrees celcius....so staying inside and doing some scrapbooking is an option ;) :0

SOUSL Enjoy live

 SOUS: stuck on us sketches

Oh, I love this sketch so much. You can use it for everything. The pictures are of me ( hahaha) in the late sixties, with the hotpants, yo!

The paper is Authentic, lovely colors and design...

Sous: family in 1964

This layout is now on Stuck on us sketches.
It's so good. I love to use more than 1 picture, and do something with 'everyday' pictures (iso 'beauty shots).

The paper is Kaisercraft, 75 cents.

Join us on SOUS and see the work of the new DT members.

Sweet!

Have a great weekend.

Sous: Keep calm

Oh, what a struggle, this time. To me scrapbooking is always an escape, a pleasure, but with this layout it wasn't.










The sketch is fine, but I choose the 'modern girl' paper (BB) and that what a bad mistake. The colors are so loud. Strangely well fitting the picture. But.... brrrr. The paper is also very heavy, and some prints are very, very yuk .....



So the first layout I just put it in the bin. Took the foto and the flowers of, and made this one... not much better.
The paper is in the stash that I use for anything else but scrapbooking....
For the next layout I've choosen paper-picture well, so no more frustration hahaha.
Have a good weekend!

Sketchabilities: Baby Vince

This good sketch on Sketchabilities. Nr. 113 for april. Love it. Made it with one photo.





















Of a very very sweet baby and his older sister. Used Authentic paper 'Flourish' and did some work on the background with mask and stamp ....

SOUS Thankful

Good morning!
This super sketch can be found on 'Stuck on us sketches'. Check out the cool layouts from the other DT-members. Very good. Also, you can win a fine price bij 'scrapbook  circle', the kitclub.

I've flipped the sketch. Used a picture of my grazy (but lovely) cat 'String'. The journaling is in Dutch: your beauty and softness, bring me a feeling of sheer happiness, every day!
The paper is a line bij Kaisercarft; curiosity. Sometimes this scrap-paper is so bold in colours and design. Your need a very heavy picture to match up to the paper. But, wel it's beautiful... and I love how the green (eyes), orange and red in de picture is picked up in the layout.

Have a good weekend, hope to see you again... Greetz Patries

Sous; Misprint

So this week again a super sketch on Stuck on us sketches.

I've flipped it and used a misprint that came out of the printer when i printed the pictures for a layout some weeks ago. I loved it, so funny. The family somehow is closer in the 'misprint'.

Used EP paper, a leftover from some years ago, but stil ... love those backgrounds. Did a lot of work on the background. Used masks over the stickers, to continu with the 'misprint' theme. And, did a bit of the oldschool doodling....






















This month again a super price, so ... team up with SOUS!

Sponsor this month: scrapbook circles...

Have a great weekend!

Oud en nieuw

For fun I've remade some layout's:
This one I made in 2010 with Gr45 paper (aplied for dt but never stood a chance!). Made 10 pieces in a week, but well ever since couldn't face the brand hahaha.

I've used a sketch from Once upon a sketch, didn't join the challenge, still don't stand a chance.
