2010-04-18T11:56:00.002+02:00

Hi Everybody,

What a lovely day, the sun is shining... A perfect day for Scrapper's Delights new kit Bee Happy. And she's got a great offer: the full kit plus add-ons plus two super furry alpha's, now for only $6.00. You can get it here.

And here are my pages:

And Mathildescrap has a great kit for you as well - and she is offering it as a freebie... Who can resist. But don't forget to check out her other kits as well, I am sure you will fall in love with them.

Here's a page I did with it. The painting is by my incredibly talented father in law!

So that's my news for today. Thanks for reading!

This makes me happy ;-)

And this as well - MathildeScrap's brand new kit Picnic time, available now at digiscrapbooking.ch.

My layout:

Have a great evening!

Great news!

2010-04-07T00:26:00.002+02:00

Yes, I have been so lucky the past few days.

First Heather of HK Designs asked me whether I wanted to become a permanent CT member. Well, that was a no-brainer; Heather is such a great girl and I love her designs.
Here's a layout I did with the new collab kit

A mother like no other collab by HK Designs & Marshmella Designs

But that is not all... I also was asked by MathildeScrap to join her CT after I responded to a one kit call that will be released later this week... I can't give any details but it is such a fun kit.

In the meanwhile I also got to play with Sweet Savannah.

And last but not least I responded to a CT Call by Jolanta Designs and I get to be part of her amazing CT. Here is her latest kit:

The Smell Of Spring

Thanks all for looking!

Today I started my Guest CT for HK designs... I created above layout using her fabulous Fresh kit.

Here's my first layout with this kit:

ave a great evening everyone!

Long time no blog..

2010-03-02T13:15:00.005+01:00

Hi Girls,

It has been quite a while since I have posted here. Real life got in the way...

Anyway, over the past few months I have managed to free some time to make new layouts. And just this morning I was chosen to do a guest CT for Heather aka HK-Designs. Did you see my blinkie... Don't you just love it! I sure do. Here's two layouts I created with her kits in the past.

Apple Cider Kit - HK Designs

Beyond The Sky - HK Designs

And tonight is a big night at GDS - tonight the new GDS Supreme Team will be announced. There are 4 rounds, and each round only about half the participants passed on to the next round. We started round 1 with 180 participats, and now in round 4 only 28 remain. And the judges will only choose 12 ladies to be the next Supreme Team. I have made it this far, and would of course love to be part of the Supreme Team, but there are so many awesome layouts. You can check out the gallery here.

Here are my entries for rounds 1, 2, 3 and 4

Bye for now!

Freebie: Valentine quickpage

2008-01-24T18:52:00.000+01:00

I just wanted to let you know that I have added a new advertising system called Pay-Per_Play. It plays a single 5 second audio advertisement to each new visitor, and you get paid on 100% of your website traffic, no clicks necessary! I figured this will not annoy my visitors too much, while I get a chance to get a little extra to spend on scrapping supplies. You can still sign up, but be fast - they are accepting new members for a limited time only...

OK, now your treat, Valentine is coming so here's a valentine quick page!

Wendy's verjaardag

2007-12-30T22:12:00.000+01:00

Feestje!!!! Wendy is vandaag twee jaar geworden.
Het was nog een beetje de vraag hoe het zou gaan want gisteren was ze nog heel ziek... Vanmorgen ging het gelukkig alweer een stuk beter al is dat aan de foto's niet te zien. Wendy heeft een superleuke dag gehad en is natuurlijk weer vreselijk verwend. Het zal me niets verbazen als ze morgen weer jarig wil zijn.

Top photoshop resouces

2007-12-12T12:55:00.000+01:00

I thought I would put down a listing of my favorite photoshop resources. I know, if you have a lot of time, it is fun to google for photoshop actions, brushes, shapes and other great time savers, but google comes up with thousands of listings... But if you want to go to great sites quickly, these are the ones I would go to:

http://www.panosfx.com
This man is incredibly creative, he has the most amazing free actions. For example the embossed labels shown below:

Here's his photobook action - the photo was taken by my during the Rob Acda awards preliminaries.

Pretty cool right...

You can find a lot more, puzzle effects, effects to let your pictures curl, a snowy text action. Well, just go over there and check it out (and come back for more of course...).

DeviantArt
Great site for photoshop resources. Actions, brushes, textures, it's all there.

Photoshop exchange

Photoshop's own exchange - very elaborate. Default you see the latest additions, I usually go to the tab 'highest rated'.

Vecteezy
Cool vector graphics.

Brusheezy.com
Great collection of photoshop brushes.

OK, that's it for now. I am going to play around in photoshop, I am working on a neat little freebie!

Bye

* November SAS-y Princess * Talk of the Town * Freebie

2007-11-03T15:18:00.000+01:00

O boy is this my lucky weekend ;-) Three great things happened to me this weekend. I am so excited...

Let's start with a little royalty gossip. Do you know who has been crowned November SAS-y Princess? Well its... ME ;-) I am princess Randje... Now I just don't hope everyone is going to expect me to behave lady like.

For the SAS-y Princess of the Month, the fabulous SAS-y design team picks one layout from the gallery and the winner will receive a $20 store coupon and becomes the SAS-y Princess for the next month.

The only thing you have to do is use SAS design team products, and post your layouts in the appropriate SAS-y Princess of the month gallery.

This was the layout that was picked - and of course it is featuring the real princess... The LO was created with Phreephorm 's Rock My World Girl kit.

So I bet you can guess what I will be doing tonight - some serious shopping.

And that's not all. The second thing was that at Make it Scrappy they made me Talk of the Town for November, which means everyone is invited to scraplift my layouts. I can't wait to see what people come up with. And don't forget, the NovMember Roundup Kit will be released soon!

Well, now you all understand why I call it my lucky weekend.

And the third thing. Well, there really was no third big surprise, so I had to make one up. A little three of a kind quick page. I hope you enjoy it! Just click on the preview to download.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

2007-10-25T11:52:00.000+02:00

Hi y’all

Anybody knows Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams? It is just too funny… It is one of my favorite books of all times. For a colleague of mine who was getting frustrated with the project we are working on I just gathered a few of my favorite quotes from the book. And I thought I would share them with you as well. Owwww…. I should get back to work now.

“We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.”
There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”

“I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons.”

“The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair”

“You live and learn. At any rate, you live.”

“For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.”

“The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.”

“I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”

“Don't Panic”

“The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind.”

“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”

“It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.”

“We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!”

“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”

O, and for those of you who would rather see the movie – DON’T. It is just not nearly as funny as the book.

Lately I just can’t seem to find the time to do some serious scrapping. But… something fun did happen. Heather, aka Phreephorm, is the spotlighted designer for this week SAS newsletter. The featured kits are the Rock My World kits, and the newsletter contains layouts with it by Heather’s CT. My layouts are also displayed *proud*. Be sure to get the newsletter, it is full of great freebies!

And Pamela posted some of the entries made for her mix-it-up challenge at SAS. Mine is also shown on her blog. You can still enter, so get scrappin’.

At MIS, they are currently making a big, fat, juicy Thanksgiving member roundup kit and anyone can submit! So yesterday I was trying to create some elements and papers… Pffffew that’s not so easy…but it is fun though.

Well, that’s it for now.

CU Later

Fun challenge at SAS

2007-10-18T21:54:00.000+02:00

Hi everybody

Just a short message tonight - I just made my entry for the SAS-y Mix It Up Challenge . That was fun, and it is great to see what others did with the template - all the layouts are so completely different, and yet they are all using the same elements. This was my entry:

And this was the mix-it-up template created by Princess Pamela (who has some great freebies on her blog as well)

OK, that's it for now, my sweetheart just came home from work so I'm gone!

Thanks for reading,

Denise Holland AKA Lady Marine Designs

2007-10-15T21:27:00.000+02:00

Hi everybody

Do I have fabulous news - I joined another CT. MIS designer Denise Holland, to some better known as Lady Marine designs, had asked me whether I would be interested in joining her CT. Well sure - she is a terrific designer! Today I received her first kit Ancient Victoria , and of course I couldn't wait to get started. So here's the result!

Party!!!!!! Two freebies and a slideshow

2007-10-12T20:49:00.000+02:00

Yes that's right, it's real party here tonight! There are two freebies today...

You know, I just love surfing the web in search of inspiring layouts, fun challenges, amazing designs and of course freebies... So it is great to finally be able to give something back.

Of course the first freebie for tonight is not mine - I am a CT member for Phreephorm and she asked her CT to post this great goodie bag (I have already opened it and have used some of it right away...).

Just click on the image to download it. If you already downloaded it at one of the other CT blogs, the goody bag is the same on every blog. If you want to leave Phreephorm some love, here is the link to her blog.
But... it's certainly worth while to visit these great ladies this weekend - Phreephorm also asked us to make some quick pages for you using her kits. And these will be posted on each individual CT member's blog.

Maria Nicole Erika Kelly

And here's my quick page freebie for you:

It was created using things from the goody bag, polka dot papers and based on a template all creations of Phreephorm. Click on the image to download!

Just now I have been playing with the slide show functionality provided by photobucket, and the slideshow on top of this page is what came out. The pictures were taken this afternoon at the playground.

OK, that's it for now, I am going to try finishing another layout tonight...
Hope to see you again soon!

More layouts from me...

2007-10-12T13:59:00.001+02:00

Hi everybody,

My little girl just went to bed so that leaves me some time to update my blog. As soon as she wakes up we are going to the playground, she gets all excited when she sees where we are going...

During the summer holidays we were in Italy, Manerba del Garda, and the camping had a small playground. Whenever we went to the playground, Wendy's eyes started shining and she called out 'ground, ground'. She loved the merry go round and the slide, but her true passion was the swing.

Another layout I made using this kit is this one. We went to Velserbeek last fall and the gardeners had made a huge pile of leaves. Dylan went in first, afterwards Wendy, Susan and me.

Well, that's it, I start hearing noises coming from upstairs... But tonight I'll be back with a surprise freebie!!!

I'm back... with a freebie

2007-10-11T17:06:00.000+02:00

Hi everybody

Scrapneko just made a blinkie for the Phreephorm design team members _ don´t you just love it..

I made some new layouts using Phreephorm´s kits

Journalling reads:

WHEN I LOOK AT THE STARS AT NIGHT ONE ALWAYS WINKS BACK

Credits± Phreephorm Designs - Super Stars

Based on template by Theresa Borntreger

Journalling reads:

Your eyes are so special; depending on the colors around you they are bright blue or mysterious green. But they are always the eyes I fall in love with again and again.

Rock My World Chick kit by Phreephorm

Doodle Words Love by Marcee Duggar

My little girl Wendy loves her Bumba, so I had to scrap the both of them. And because I could not find a kit featuring Bumba, I created something myself.

My first post...

2007-10-04T15:00:00.000+02:00

Yesssss my first post on my new blog, dedicated entirely to scrapping... When my daughter was born on December 30, 2005, I started scrapping, just a bit, no real problem. But the past couple of months it's become worse and worse. Yes, I have to admit, I am addicted.

I recently joined Phreephorm's CT and am having so much fun using her kits. That's one talented lady.

So, now for a few layouts I recently created...

Wendy was in the tub when I made this one. It is one of my all-time favorites. I converted it to duotone (slightest bit of blue) and really pulled on the curves. And I guess that was it. I didn´t think it needed more. That´s why I kept the layout very simple, I want the focus to be on the picture.

This paper by Phreephorm is just perfect.O, and wimpers is Dutch for eyelashes...

Designer Credits: Phreephorm Designs - Rock My World Chick kit

Fonts: Felix titling

My baby at six months, her first time in the bubble bath..

Perfect picture for the lettre B in the the SAS-y ABC Challenge. By the way, the layout was based on the sketch provided for the SAS-y Sketch Challenge.

Credits: Phreephorm's fantastic Bubblegumpop kit, available in the SAS store.

Which means as much as A is for strawberry. Which would be rather ridiculous 'cause strawberry does not start with A. But in Dutch it makes sense.The journalling reads:A is for Aardbei, because when you are born in Beverwijk, you are called Aardbei (strawberry). Mama is a Mug (musquito}, because she was born in Haarlem. And daddy, well, he's an original IJmuidense Vissenkop (fish head).

The template used was by Tracy Drane, who hosts a biweekly template challenge at Make It Scrappy. The templates she provides are amazing, check them out here.
