Hey everyone,

I had a really creative day today!
After doing some shopping, I had the whole day to myself.
So, I decided to make some flowers that I can use later on a mini album, a card,...
I have tried some new techniques, some of them worked out just fine, others will need some practice ;-)
Thank you SaCrafters for your wonderful tutorial! You really inspired me!
Please check her out, she is so talented : http://sacrafters.blogspot.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/user/SaCrafters
So here are some photo's of some of the things I made today:

Very first mini album!

I finally finished my very first mini album!
Yoohoo!!!!

It is very basic if I compare it with all those wonderful albums I see out there, but there is room for improvement ;-)

I only have been scrapping for a couple of weeks now, so I don't have a lot of material yet.
I don't have any inks, so I wasn't able to distress the edges, I hope to buy some very soon.
I didn't have any cutouts, punch, lace, ...
I had to be very creative making almost all the embellishments myself.
For for example:
I don't have any flowers yet, so I had to make them all myself.
Luckily there are some great tutorials on youtube to help me how to make them and help me find some inspiration.
I have cut down and painted some old curtains and tablecloths for fabric, recycled used paper,... :p

I really love the beautiful things you're all making!
Most off what I know comes from :

LuvLee Scrappin : Leanne, you are the reason I started making a mini album, You have learnt me so much! thank you so much!

Tracys Treasures : I have watched all your video's! You have inspired me at so many levels! Thank you so much Tracy!

♥My Passion for Paper♥ : Leonie, you are so talented! thank you for letting uw enjoy the wonderful things you make! 

Thank you so much you all!
I definitely have found myself a new hobby!

If I found the courage, I will post some photo's of the inside soon.... ;-)

See you all soon...

yesterday my daughter came home from school with a self-made gift.
She had made me a pin board in art class.
She had painted it beige and had decoupage some hearts on it.
Finally she had connected some elastic cord on it so I can put photo's on it.

I really Love it!
Not only did she made it with lots of love for me, she did a great job!
I will hang it up above my desk and put some photo's and cards of her and her sister on it.

Thank You so much honey!

Hello All Out There!

Yoohoo!!!

Finally!
I have been doubting for a while now.
I really don't know if anybody is going to read my blog, but we will see...

Lets start to introduce myself:
Due to some health problems I am forced to be a stay at home mom to my 2 lovely teenage daughters.
They are 15 and 13 years old.
I have a wonderful husband who always was (and is) very supportive to all I was (am) doing.

Sinds I have lots of free time now, I have restart an old hobby: Crafting.
I like all sorts of crafting, but mainly I make some jewelry with all kind of pearls and I love scrapbooking and mixed media.
Those 2 last ones are fairly new to me, so I still have to learn a lot about making some masterpieces ;-)
Lucky for me, there are lots of wonderful people out here who inspire me endlessly.

As I am a beginner and don't have lots of material to work with, I have to be double creative.
I love searching for a low budget solution for all the material I don't have yet, but need to make a uniek piece of art.

My plan is to come here a least ones a week and keep you posted on everything I have been working on and hopefully I will be able to inspire one of you aswel.

Now last but not least, I'm from Belgium, so my English isn't that good and I will make some mistakes every ones in a while. I hope this blog will help me to improve my English.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I will be more than happy to anser them.

See you soon,
Bye...
