Pickleberrypop

Because of the closure of Gottapixel my designers have to find a new store. Kristmess is opening at Gingerscraps. I already have an account there. I love that site so I'm glad she is opening her store there. Katrhyn Estry is opening a new store at Pickleberrypop. I heard of the store but I never visited. But after making an account I visited the forum, lots of fun overthere! I also made a few challenges. I think I'm going to like it there.

This page I made with the free minikit "Merry & bright" by Dita B Designs for the "use it all" challenge. Fun to make!

To my followers

It is almost Christmas again. I can hardly believe it. Times fly! 2016 was a good year for me, this year no health issues like the last few years, we made our dream road trip to the United States of America. There were no losses and also business wise at work all went well. I can only hope that it continues in 2017.

I wish all my followers and other visitors to my blog a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2017.

Lots of scrappies

There were so many kits released by my designers that I hardly could keep up making pages. Unfortunately I could not upload to Gottapixel, the site stops at the end of this month due to technical problems (high maintenance costs). Also DST has technical problems, it doesn't show the gallery, so uploading there is also not possible.

For Kathryn Estry I made two pages of Woodland (free for DST members), two pages with Sing Christmas and one page with Frosty toes. For Kristmess I made two pages with Kristmess Express. All kits are available at My Memories and Daisies & Dimples (except Woodland).

Because Gottpixel will close her store Kathryn opens a new one at Pickleberrypop and Kristmess at Gingerscraps.

Baby Flakes Christmas

It is the time of the year! Almost Christmas. And of course all designers are releasing Christmas kits. Baby Flakes Christmas is an adorable kit by Kathryn Estry. It is a cute kit in lovely soft colors. For Christmas photos but also for snow photos.

The kit is available at GottaPixel, My Memories and Daisies & Dimples.

Autumn's Paintbrush

I'm in a scrapping mood! Made another page with Autumn's Paintbrush by Kathryn Estry. I'm in love with the warm fall colors in this kit!

Indian summer

My most favorite season of the year is fall! The beautiful colors in nature, walking through the woods, looking for mushrooms, I love it! But I also like to stay inside when the wind is blowing around the house, just warm and cosy. And above that designers bring out their fall collections with lovely orange and brown. The latest kit from Kathryn Estry is called Autumn's Paintbrush and that is just what I needed to scrap my fall photos! It is available at Gottapixel. This is my first page.

Spike & Co.

The second Saturday each month is GGI time (Gotta Grab It) at Gottapixkel. The new realeased packs in this event are only $1 each. You can combine whatever you want, all designers use the same color scheme! In this event there is this wonderful collection by Kristmess Designs called Spike & Co. This collection is perfect for all fall photos. I love the little hedgehogs!

Made two pages with this gorgeous collection!

Licensed 2 drive

Licensed 2 drive is the latest collection by Kristmess Designs. This collection is great for learner drivers, new drivers, seasoned drivers, car lovers, road trips and much more.
This collection is available at Gottapixel. There are also matching shabby papers, journal cards, word art, clustered borders, quick pages and stacked papers. On top of that there is also a matching alphabet and a license plate maker (my favorite!).

I made two pages with this collection. Did you know that I also make the Quick pages for Kristmess Designs? Her collections are awesome!

You're so tweet

You're so tweet is the name of the newest bundle from Kathryn Estry. It is not quite new, it is a remake of her kit Little Cuties but packed with lots of new elements. It is all about little birds. Also new is the matching alpha, fancy stamps, labels and torn papers. The bundle is available at Gottapixel.

I love birds and have lots of bird photos in my collection so I made two pages. Aren't they cute?

Team Hope

Hi everybody! It has been more than a month ago that I put a message on my blog. I was on vacation. My husband and I made a fabulous road trip through the mid west of the USA.
It was really fantastic. But back again, duty calls.

Kathryn Estry has a wonderful new kit called Team Hope. Kathryn says "Team Hope is a feminine collection designed to celebrate the battle and the victory over breast cancer. Breast cancer has touched the lives of almost everyone I know in one way or another. This kit and 6 extra packs is for those women who have fought and who continue to fight. Let's celebrate their lives! The majority of this collection can also be used for other subjects as well"

I love this kit, the colors are so beautiful and soft, so perfect for girlie pictures or as I used, nature photos.

Girly Pink

If you make a boys kit there also has to be a "girls kit" And yes Kathryn Estry made one! It is called Girly Pink. With lots of girly colors and other girly stuff. The kit is available at Gotta Pixel.

I made two pages with this kit, thanks to my colleague Femke. I always may use some pictures of her daughter Fay.

Little boy blue

Kathryn Estry has released a boy kit, called Little boy blue. This kit is available at My Memories. Although it is a boys kit, I'm sure you can scrap all sorts of photos with this kit. I made two pages with this kit, both have my little nephew Mirii in the lead.

Positano

It was a rainy day today. Time to scrap, what else. At Gingerscraps I just had to make the second template challenge of this month. It is a template by Neverland Scraps. I filled it with the kit Spring has sprung by Cathy K Designs. Subject of my page is the village Positano in Italy. Lovely memories of our vacation last year!

Daddyyyy!!!!

Made another page with Ice cream shoppe by Kathryn Estry. This kit, packed with Ice cream, is part of the GGI collection at Gottapixel. Each pack is only $1 for a limited time. So hurry!

Ice cream

Kathryn Estry has also a new collection in the GGI event at Gottapixel. This collection has everything to do with Ice cream. I love ice cream, who doesn't, but when I was checking my photo stock to search for "ice cream" photos, I only found one(!) photo. It is taken at the buffet of my father and mother in law 60th wedding anniversary!

You can find this collection here!

Greener

I'm just in a scrapping mood! Made a second page with Doodleydoo by Kristmess Designs. This kit is so versatile, you can scrap any photo with this kit!

Laugh

GGI time for August. I'm not so happy with the colorscheme for this month. Too sweet, not inspiring. But Kristmess made a wonderful kit called Doodleydoo! it is a fun artsy style collection, packed with doodle elements as the name of the kit already predicts.

This is my first layout.

't Woold

After some rainy weeks today is the only day this week it will be dry and sunny. Time for a long walk. We chose a trail of 12 km in "t Woold near Winterswijk. We had lunch at the Watermill "Berenschot" It was lovely!

Peacock

Just playing with camera raw and filters in photoshop. Scrapped the result using the kit Teal for two by Kristmess. Used a mask called Spring by Madelief.

Beautiful view

Just felt like scapping this afternoon. For the surprise challenge at GottaPixel you had to use "wood" I used the kit Denim & Lace by Cathy K Designs. This kit has a wonderful wooden background paper in it. The photo is taken years ago in 2008. I believe it is the Brienzer Lake in Switzerland.

Simple Simon Says

There is a new challenge at GottaPixel this month. It is called "simple Simon says" There is a very simple template to download in 12x12, 4x6 card or ATC card. The only rule is that you leave the squares where they are. You can rotate, use photos or not, add as much as you like.

For this template I used the kit Perfectly Paris by Kathryn Estry, because the colors matches the photo I used!

Hiking

We had to wait for a long time. Spring was cool and wet and summer started of wet too. But finally it is here: warm and sunny weather!
Yesterday we went foor a 12 km walk through the woods of "De Slangenburg" Of course we took our cameras with us. This scrap says it all, we had a lovely time!

Small world ~ France

In the series kits about countries Kristmess this time was inspired by France! France is one of my favourite holiday destinations and I love Paris! The bundle is available at Gotta Pixel and is part of the GGI for July. You can find this bundle here.

Made two pages with this lovely kit.

Anchors away

The colors of the GGI of July at Gottapixel this month are red, blue, white and beige. Funny to see how many designers chose the theme "sailing" This theme is also chosen by Kathryn Estry. Her bundle is called Anchors away. It is packed with elements like lighthouses, boats, sea creatures and antique treasures. More than 100 elements! For a limited time the bundle is only $8,- So hurry to the store!

Here are two pages I made, but I'm sure I'm going to use this kit over and over. There is so much in it!

Just a scrap for fun. I used the kit New Style by Dita B Designs. The framed mask is by Anna Aspnes.

Oleander

This layout is made with the beautilful bundle Women of faith by Kathryn Estry. This bundle is available at GottaPixel. This is really a bargain, for only $ 11.99 you get the pagekit, 3 alphas, artsy papers, borders, clusters, extra's, fancy stamps, frames, scripture cards, semi solid papers, torn papers and word art.

Pocket template

Templates are so easy! Just pop in your photo's, add som elements and papers and ready you are. For this page I used March Daze pocket pack template by Kristmess available at Gottapixel.

To fill the template I used Desert Adventure Page kit also by Kristmess. The perfect kit to showcase my lizard photos!

GGI - Man Cave

Kathryn Estry made for a huge bundle for the GGI event this month (Got to Grab It). It is called Man Cave. Man Cave is for scrapping the men in your life. Whether they have a man cave or not, you'll find plenty in this collection that will work with you husband, sons, brothers, father, uncles and best friends. The colors are quite soft though, you can easily make feminine pages too!

Here is my page.

GGI, Desert Adventure

It is GGI (Got to Grab It) at Gottapixel. All designerpacks are only $1,- each! Is that a bargain or not? Kristmess' kit is called Desert Adventure. This fun collection is full of unique elements and papers great for a multitude of pages from SouthWest to Native and much more. I love the color scheme this month. Soft yellows, greens, brown and teal!

Here are two pages I made with this bundle.

Pocket template

I have the flu! It is a persistant type, I'm feeling sick for more than a week now. The only advantage is that I can take more time for scrapping. I'm not the type that can stay in bed for long, LOL!
Kristmess Designs has a collection of page kits for every month. Last year she added the page kits extra's and this year every month gets his pocket pack, including a pocket template. For this page I used the pocket template of february. I filled it with the March Daze page kit. The colors in this kit matches perfectly with my photos.

"Deer" Valentine

"Deer" Valentine is a cute and adorable new bundle by Kathryn Estry. Now available at Gottapixel. Adorable animals are ready for Valentine's Day! Use this collection to make your Valentine cards and to scrap your Valentine parties or any sweetheart pages.

This is what I made with it. I'm sure I'm going to use this kit over and over.
