Weekend Sketch #1

Hi everyone.

Now and then when I'm "stuck" at home with my computer, I love to design and be creative in different ways, and to design sketches is one of the things I like to do. So when I do have the time to design a sketch, I will share it with you all here in my blog in weekends. Here is my first “Weekend Sketch”;



Please feel free to use this sketch for your inspiration, and I will love to hear from you if you do to see what you have made! ;o) Please just post a link to your work here as a comment, and I will love to check it out! - thanks! ;o)

Thank you for dropping by everyone, and wish you all a great sunday! *hugs*

New palette from The Color Room!

It’s Friday and time for a new palette from The Color Room!

This week’s palette is Palette #3 {Sun Room}, with really beautiful colors and a sketch that rocks! Here is palette #3 {Sun Room}:



It’s allowed to add white, black and kraft to the colorpalette, so I added a lot of black this time. I also used the sketch again, and here is my layout for this week’s colorpalette:



And some close-ups;







This LO shows how happy my daughter is every time she uses the swing, she really enjoys it! The pics are taken right outside our home just a few days ago, after her tonsil surgery. So, as you can see, she is doing just fine! :o)

It is really fun and inspirational to play with the palettes from The Color Room, it makes me try out new styles and colors that I usual don’t pick. I really recommend you to try this out! Just click in here at The Color Rooms’s site and sign up and play with us; - hope to see you there!

Galleries and some pictures

Hi everybody.

Today we had some beautiful hours on the middle of the day, so we took a trip to a little pond to feed some birds. Luckily I had my Canon with me so I could take some shots of all the birds flying around over our heads. And here are three of the pictures I took today;







I will try to post some pics here in my blog "now and then", but most of them I will post directly to my gallery for "photographs" in the bottom of the left column. All the other galleries are updated now.

And at last I would like to write some updates about my daughter and the tonsil surgery she went trough on Tuesday. I have got a lot of e-mails and comments from people around the world, wishing us the best and a speedy recovery. I really appreciate all your thoughts, wishes and prayers; - THANK YOU! We came back from the hospital on Wednesday, and the surgery went very well. She have been full of courage and kept her positive attitude trough the whole day at hospital, the same and positive attitude as she always has. She never complains at all, and I think her mum had more difficulties getting trough it all then she had ;-) Now she is playing right beside me here with her new Playmobil toys, and are eating ice cream all day ;-) Now we are all just looking forward to she can go out and play the whole summer, but first she has to stay inside for 14 days before she has fully recovered.

Thank you everyone for dropping by, and I wish you all a great day! *hugs*

April's BAP layout for Prima

pril's sketch from Prima is here, the Build-A-Page challange. As usual Anam Stubbington created a very beautiful sketch, and you can all check out the sketch and all the amazing works from the rest of the DT at Prima's blog here!

Here is my layout based on the sketch;

And a few close-ups;





I used following products from Prima on this layout;
#841256 Raspberry Tea - Blueverry Pie (pattern paper), #84121 Pastiche - Seaside (pattern paper), #539320 Belle Arte - Butterfly (roses), #535872 Say it in Pearls and Crystals - Flower Black (pearl branch), #701260 Maxi Aster Flower Kit - Moda (large flower), #602284 Paintables Paper Collection - Cherubs (white paper die-cuts), #534974 Lace - Nikki (white lace), #812133 Whispered Words (felt letters), #841010 Wink - Devine Diva (background paper).

Tomorrow morning my little daughter will finally have the surgery to get her tonsils removed. Hopefully the surgery will go just fine and everything will be much better for her soon after as the tonsils are gone. But I'm not looking forward to the surgery tomorrow and the next days that follows; poor little 3 year old girl... But we just have to look forward and hope that she will recover quickly and hope this summer will be better for her then ever before, so she can stay healthy and go out and play with other kids as much as she wants.

Thank you for dropping by everyone, and I wish you all a great week!  *hugs*
