Scrap: San Clemente + free sketch!

And this week a layout about a little piece of paradise, San Clemente. I like using lots of photos in layouts. Gosh, I miss California!

And here's the sketch:

Scrap: We are family + free sketch!

Another one made with just Instagram photos, It's a simple layout, but that's what I like. I love memory keeping, but in my opinion it shouldn't take a lot of time and effort to do so.

And I also made a little sketch for you to use, hope you like it!

Scrap: Willis Tower + free sketch!

I finally had the time to scrap some photos of my USA trip! For this one I've used some Instagram photos I've made from the skydeck of Willis Tower, Chicago.

I've made a sketch before I made this one, you can use it if you like, and if you do, I would love to see what you've made with it, so leave a link in the comments! :)

Scrappy Saturday #42: Fishers in the forest

Oops! I almost forgot to show this little minibook here! I gave this to my mom for mothersday and I didn't even made proper photos of it. Just these ones I took before I binded it!

DIY: Chevron patterned paper

For this layout of Buddha I used a patterned background I made myself. Let me show you how!

Supplies: White Bazzil, watercolor, water and a brush.

Use any color you like and just add the pattern! It doesn't have to look really neat.

This is what mine looked like!

Now let it dry completely and start scrapping!

Some close-ups of my layout:

Scrappy Saturday #39: Yara

One of my colleagues ordered this name painting for newborn Yara. She told me the parents like blue, the nursery is green and they like pink too, 'cause it's a girl! So I found this awesome paper in my old stash and I was happy to finally use it!

Scrappy Saturday #37: Vince

I'm really into the name paintings lately, orders keep coming in and I'm so thankful to make some extra money on something I actually like to do. I wish I could pay my mortgage with it, lol. Well, here's one for newborn Vince! His birth announcement card was with a tattoo style heart with wings and a crown, so that was my inspiration for this one.

Scrappy Saturday #36: Zoë

Another name painting, this time not for the parents or the baby, but for the grandparents! Such a cute Idea.

Scrappy Saturday #35: Sunny at the park

These photos I made while we were shooting my 'What I wore' photos, it was the first real sunny day of the year!

Scrappy Saturday #34: Winter Wonderland

I know, I know, it's spring (and I'm soooo happy with it) but I wanted to share just one wintery layout I've made with the photos I took in our garden.

The crocheted flowers are made by my mom!

Scrappy Saturday #33: Urban Shoot

A layout about the photoshoot I did for my outfit post last monday. I used some old Basic Gray patterned paper, AC thickers and Elsie stickers I've had for ages. I added some bling, journaling and washi tape and I was done. I love simple and fast multi photo layouts!

A close-up:

Scrappy Saturday #32: Saar

Another newborn name painting! This week it's Saar. I kept it quiet simple because of the busy background. 

 

Scrappy Saturday #31: Jonathan

 Another name painting for a newborn today!  This time Jonathan is the lucky one :) I used Sassefras Las and Making Memories. I also used the birth announcement card, washi tape and some of my own paintings with pencil.

 

Project Life 2012: Week #05

 Time flies! Already week 5 and still loving this project. In week 5 I went to eat sushi with Lianne, it started snowing big time, I made some paintings, goat's cheese and lentil pie and we went to the Amsterdam Concerthall to see my uncle playing. I'm only using my Instagram photos lately, but I don't mind. It's fast, simple and looks cute.

Project Life 2012: Week #01

And here's week one! I made an Ajaxcake for my little brother, started an Art Journal workshop, went out for dinner and lunch with friends and saw a beautiful sunrise!


Do you see that little journalingcard at the bottom.. It'll be downloadable for free monday morning a long with some other journaling spots as a pdf file. So make sure to check back monday for the link!



I made a little box for some paper scraps I trimmed down to 6x7" (10x15 cm) I also made a guide from cardstock, to make the trimming a bit easier and faster:
