Merry Christmas Blog Train!

Hi there! 

Here I'm again, crawling from under a big pile of school work. Urg. But what needs to be done, needs to be done. Somehow I managed to get me back into designing while working for school. And I collabed again with the other ladies of the little lowlands. 

I don't fancy a really long post so let's take a look at my part:

And I'll be back later today to share some nice things. See you later!!

There's a new store in town!

Finally the day has come that I can present you my lay outs made with kits from Digital Paper Press! 2 weeks ago I applied for a spot on a special CT! I needed to scrap all I could in 2 weeks with the kits from the new store. But the hardest part was not showing you my LO's before the opening day! Glad that day has come!!

First of all: a BIG thank you to Casey of Digital Paper Press for giving me this opportunity! I had such a nice time making LO's with her kits! So thank you for taking me abroad in this fun 2 week CT!

So who want to see some LO's? I bet you would! So here they are!

First I started scrapping with the Abby kit. 

I liked it very much! So I dug into my Disney photo's and created these 2 lay outs:

Those 2 were just the start! The next kit I picked out of the store was Retro Diva.

Once again I made 2 lay outs:

 

 I can't help it, but I'm in love with the second lay out! 

I never thought I could make such a lay out for Tarja with that kit!

The next kit were I laid my eyes on was: Birthday Wish

I chose it because of the nice colours in the preview. But it was much harder to scrap with then I thought! The fact that I didn't have so much birthday photo's had something to do with that. But did you see those awesome candle numbers? I like them so much!! 

Enough chatting about it! here are the 2 lay outs:

For the first one I also used a template from WM squared!

And for the last kit I chose All I want for Christmas.

 

Yeah, I know It's July. But the weather here is horrible! So my thoughts are already with Christmas and the end of the year! 

These are the last 2 lay outs of my 2 week CT commitment:

These 4 are not the only kits in her store though. Here are the previews of the other 4 kits:

 

So what do you think? I think these are some Awesome kits! And the nicest of all: they're all on a sale price to celebrate the opening weekend! So what are you still doing here? (no no, I don't want to kick you from my blog. But you definitely need to check out the store!)

Hop over to Digital Paper Press and grab those kits all on 35% off! (until 31th July)

But to celebrate a bit more, you can also hop over to the blog were you can find a contest and freebies! With that contest you can choose your favourite kit from the store and get it for free! All you got to do is leave a comment on her post and telling that you've heard of the store from me, Jolien/Jojo, and that's it! So grab that chance of winning one of these awesome kits! But like I said, there are also freebies! Everyday of the next week she will highlight one of those kits and you'll find a freebie with that post! So go check out that new blog: Digital Paper Press Blog

While you're at the store or the blog, I'll be scrapping again. The photobook Competition of the store called "Kruitvat" is coming up again! And like last year, I'm going to enter again, but therefore I need to finish my book! I still need to make 3 pages and I want to redo some. And I still have that Disney trip for the first 3 days of august. So I know what to do! 

See you soon!

Relaxing and introducing

Hi everyone!

How are you all doing? I don't have to go to school any more!! Okay I still need to pick up my results next week, but apart from that, I got vacation!! I already know how to fill it. Scrapping, scrapping and scrapping! Also a bit designing and a trip to Disneyland Paris! Half August it's out with the fun, cause then are my second chances for a couple of exams. But that's far far away!

So that was the relaxing part, now the introducing part! I wanted to write something today about my scrapping friends! We all are members of the same Dutch Scrapbook board and recently we all started with designing and some are really talented!

Let's start with Raoul.

His latest creation is also a toy block alpha! but really different from mine! I really like his designs and maybe you do too! He also made his own handwriting font, awesome Disneycharacters in 2 different ways and other alphas! You can pick up his freebies at his blog: Scrapbooking Raoul (you get directed to the toy blocks post)! Not all previews shown!

Next in line is Sarah! She is unstoppable at the moment! Wordbits are coming from her, like she was a mass production industrie! But she also has amazing alphas! She's also an upcoming designer you must check out! I'll post some previews of her work here, but for the download you need to head to Sarah's blog: Sarah Online! (you get directed to her post labelled as freebie)

 

And as last I want to introduce you to the work of Fiona! She's the reason I started scrapping and I really love what she does as a designer! She has such a nice style I really love her templates, because they're just perfect, and her buttons. For the alpha lovers, don't be afraid, cause she got them too!  Just go over to Designs by Fiona and grab them!

  

 

So that was all for today! I saw I need to practise a lot with those images in my blog messages. I may change the layout of the post later today because of that. 

But for now: It's relaxing time! Me and a friend go to a sort of market in a nearby town. I didn't see her for a very long time so it's going to be a lot of fun!!

See you later!!

Another Freebie!!

Hey!

5 of the 7 examinations are already past. Only 2 to go! But one is just a paper and must be finished on Sunday, and the other is one harder subject, but that examination is miles away! (23 June) So I decided to take a little break from learning for school and I started on learning to design proper elements and other scrapstuff! I started with an Alpha that was in my mind for a very long time! And when I was busy, I dicided to make it in 6 different colors! Yeah, 6 different colors! Right now they only contain the upper case letters. Maybe later there will come one with the lower case. But for now, they're finnished and I can't wait to share them with you! Please make sure these freebies are for your personal use only.

Hope you like the alpha! I'll post a example of it when I used it in one of my lay outs. But I havn't had the time yet to make a LO.
