Another week, more challenges

Hey everyone,

Sometimes it seems that several things come together at one point and that doesn't necesarely mean it's a good thing.  2 weeks ago, my washingmachine broke down, we did get a new one fairly quick but of course by then the laudry was huge.  Last weekend, well just say that the new washingmachine did a huge job, I did all the laundry, but unfortunately that also means a lot of folding and ironing.
It took an entire sunday to get comfortable!

On sunday we went to see my grandmother at the retirementhome, she's still quit well for her age (87).  Sometimes she's muttering about those old people over there or she gets annoyed by her daughter who she thinks is older in saying and doing, hahahaha...
Now, my grandmother is knitting scarfs for every grandchild and greatgrandchild she has, we just need to supply her with yarn, and this time it was my son's turn for one. He's quit pleased with it!

But now, challenges!

First one is from 'another freaking scrapping challenge' with a theme: PASSION.  Everyone who knows me well, knows that I'm a huge metalfan, more specific, Rammstein.  I've been following them since 2001, so in tribute to them I've made this LO.

I used white cardstock as a basis and a sheet of patterened paper of the Poppy beach grass from S.E.I.
As a title I chose 'Feuer Frei' because they use a lot of pyrotechnics in their shows as you can see on 1 of the pictures.  It's also the title of a song of theirs.

For the 2nd challenge I used the sketch of 'another freaking scrapping challenge' and chose a beautiful picture of my daughter Eleni. I used 2 sheets of patterened paper from the What's up collection from Basic Grey. From the leftovers I punched out flowers.

I've combined the challenge from Dutch Dare (Love is all around) with the challenge from Creanijn (to use journaling on strips of paper).  I used 2 sheets of patterened paper from the Marjolaine collection from Basic Grey. I immediately fell in love with that paperpad, the green and blue colors, the patterns they've used.  On new years day I took a snapshot of the grandparents with their grandchildren after they've read their new years wishes.  

It's clear to me that they love all their grandchildren, no matter what!

2 cards - 4 challenges

Hey everyone,

I've had a really busy week this week. I mentioned last time that I was headed for Ikea and I found a lot of storageboxes for my daughter and a nice lamp for my livingroom. But unfortunately no storagecloset/box for the shoes yet.

On saturday I had a lot of baking to do for my parent's in law 45 year-anniversary-party on sunday.  Together with my sister in law we baked enough cakes and pies for an entire army :-)
Of course, on sunday we had to party with the family!

I tried to combine 4 challenges on 2 cards and this is how it worked out:

I've combined the sketch from MOJOmonday with 'recycle something on your card'.  I've used plain red cardstock and 1 sheet of red patterened paper with white polka dots.  I've embossed a piece of white cardstock and used the image of a young lady (from an older card).  I've added a flowersticker and finally stamped 'You make me Smile'.

I've combined the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches with the asked colors in Pals Paper Arts.  Well I least I tried to get as close as I could.  I've started with white cardstock and I had some leftover pieces of patterened paper wich combined nicely.  I added the 2 circles in red to make more contrast.  And do we always need a reason to send someone a card?

See you next time! Kaat

A few more challenges

Hey everyone,

it's thursday again.  I've been home for a few days, my son was ill with the flu and was in need of some mommy attention.  Today was dad's turn. 

Also, vacation is just arround the corner and we got lots of things to do on our list.  We're going to Ikea because I'm in desperate need of some storageboxes for my daughters toys and craftingthings and please please something to store all of our shoes (because now they're just lying arround and it's really bugging me!)

Now, where you all come to see my blog, a new LO and a few cards for a few challenges.

First challenge is from MOJOmonday

And last but not least, another LO with pictures from the old hat.  These cute little cars are from 1929-1931 and still drive arround, but mostly their owners just like to show them arround.

See you next time!
