* Clean & Simple layout *

I made a clean and simple layout of a photo I took today. It was a beautiful warm day (but enough wind to make it nice you know, not too stiffling or hot) and I used a mask and wordart from suddenly Artistic. I really love the outcome.

* Week 24 in Project Life *

I just finished week 24 of Project Life and yes I am still keeping up. That is with the weekly pages. I have still 5 more extra week pages on my to do list. I wonder if I ever get around to finishing them up? Who knows. But for now, I am happy that we are almost half year after I started this and I am still carrying my camera around everywhere to take photo's. I don't mind using a picture from the Internet as I did with this page. As long as it concerns something I am reading or watching, or something like that.

Supplies used for this page: write on tab from Misty Cato, Kit by Melissa Bennett Chemical Reaction & template by Yin Designs.

* extra page to project life*

Yesterday I had the worst stomach flue ever. I have had it in the past but never as worse as it was and is still now. I never could imagine you couldn't go to work. Guess what, Now i can.

It is horrible! Couldn't eat, couldn't drink (that's the worst part) Stomach pains & cramps. Lying in bed all day. Doing nothing.

Well I think/hope that the worst part is over now. I am trying to drink some water. The first 2 sips went totally wrong, but it seems to be doing a bit better now. Currently nibbling on a rusk now. I do hope I can at least do some digi scrapping today or some reading & hoping it will all be over soon :)

Anyway, I am still keeping up with Project life even though I have been struggling at times. I have been a bad blogger with my layouts though. I cannot promise to change that anytime soon, cause I am very busy besides work with all my "side" projects.

However, here is one more extra page I did for last week. It wasn't an easy task to find papers and embies to fit with this page; I ended up using 2 kits of Eva Kipler Little moments & Best day ever & climp me. And some of Kristin Cronin Barrow's Sweet Escape & brushed up text from misty cato, all from Sweet Shoppe Designs.

* Texture Tuesday & Week 18 Project Life *

I am a little late with this week's Texture Tuesday, but there are still a few more hours to enter and I love playing along either way :) this time I used the new texture of this week Believe and one of my favorites Chamomille. And some actions from Coffee Shop.

* Project Life Week 01 *

Yes, second post of today. Again a new digi layout. This time for Project Life. I managed the first week of 2011 with a photo a day! Yeah! Never thought it would possible, I am proud of me.
I took photo's of the "daily" stuff. Nothing really special though. I used Zoe Pearn Winter Wishes and some out of the latest kit of Kristin Cronin-Barrow Sweet Escape and again a template of Simply Yin.

The weekend is over, got to get back to work tomorrow.

* First layout of 2011 *

I am planning on taking a photo each day. That's my first goal for 2011. However, I am not calling it project 365 but project life. So I am "safe" if I don't succeede in getting a photo a day. (I made a December Daily last month for the first time and it was a daily struggle to get a photo, but I managed and kept up and my album is waiting to be printed, YEAH!!! But doing this the whole year, is quite another challenge. But I am aiming for it so let's see how it goes.
This is my first layout made for this album. I used Zoe Pearn's Winter Wishes, Masks from Eva Kipler and a template of Yin. (I don't remember where I got the digi date stamp from) So keeping my fingers crossed that I will keep up the good work :)

* Happy 2011 **

You all will know Ali Edwards One Little Word, and my word for 2011 will be ENJOY.

* It's Freebie Friday *

Since we are having such cold and snowy weather (or at least we did at the time I made it), I decided to make a digi that would fit the season.
Don't look at how the picture looks here, it real it is straight and in proportion. Have fun scrapping and please leave me a comment (or show the card you created with the stamp, would love to see that.)

* freebee digi stamp * Happy Birthday card *

One of my resolutions is to be more creative digitally speaking. So I start rather simple; a free digi text stamp. You can download the stamp by clicking on the picture. The stamp is for personal use only. Have fun scrapping and please leave me a comment.Above an example made with the stamp.

Supplies: white cardstock, We R Memory makers Madame Royale papers, Fiskars borderpunch, Crafts too cornerpunch, scalloped scissors, prima flowers, jewels pin, ribbon, oranza ribbon, digi stamp.

* brrr.... it's cold outside *

I was planning on writing this blogpost last Sunday, but I hadn't had the time, I was only able to upload the photo's and thought I would write it the next day. It never happened. I was busy this week and not feeling too well - looks like I will have the flue again this winter. And besides that the room were the pc is, is extremely cold this time of year with -8 degrees since there is no central heating.
Anyway this weekend it was snowing, the first snow of this winter. I took these shots at Saturday when there wasn't too much snow yet, but it was freezing cold with -8 or something like that. The landscape was lovely. I also received after some long waiting my parcel from Creatief Scrapwork: some nice flowers from Kaiserkraft. I *adore* these. Specially the pink ones since I seem to be having lots of papers with pink in them.

And I got some stuff from Scrapbookdepot; some nice Studio G x mas stamps. I love those tiny little stamps, so easy to use on cards and tags, letterstickers, some bling, some more flowers and glue dots.

I created some X mas like wallpapers for my PC background as well. This one is my fav and it is proudly placed as wallpaper. Don't you love Benji?

With these long winter days, I love to read. I have recently finished a novel from Simone van der Vlugt, Het laatste offer. A novel that reads like an adventure story, a nice change. Now I am reading Iris Johansen Pandora's Daughter.

This week I had no time what so ever to create a layout or even a card or tag. With the holidays I do have some more time, but I am not sure if there will be time to create anything.
