guest designer at i heart {ippity} - week 2

hello bloggers!

it's friday again and it's time to share another i heart {ippity} project with you.

i used the WONDERFUL "fall for you" set IPK-120.

if you LOVE this set, you can find it HERE.

i used the ELINE's babies paper pad from marianne design and some petals and pearls from PRIMA marketing.

stay tuned, because there are more {ippity} projects to come!

little lady {bo bunny}

good evening, bloggers!

this is my second post for today. it is about a project i did for the WONDERFUL friday sketch challenge going on every other friday at bo bunny's blog.

the sketch we had to follow was created by the very TALENTED bo bunny designer Carin McDonough:

here is my interpretation:

i used the AMAZING paper line "gabrielle" from bo bunny. all the butterflies and the soft colours just seemed so PERFECT for these pictures of ELISE.

i made some close ups from my FAVOURITE bits:

the butterfly is a combination from two martha stewart punches - monarch butterfly and medium butterfly. i added glitter and liquid pearls to make it look more fancy:-)

again - martha stewart butterfly edge punch and a lot of stitching and doodling.

the sub-title comes from the sticker sheet from the same paper line.

as you can see i used my liquid pearls a lot. i just love those colours - white opal and pink - they go so well on every layout of ELISE.

some more butterflies and glitter:

thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! i hope to see you back soon!

hugs 'n smiles,

OMA's sweethearts {my creative sketches}

hello bloggers!

i'm finally ready with my project for the 1st sketch challenge from my creative sketches. it's a new challenge blog and i LOVE it so far!

here is what i came up with this month:

and this is the sketch i had to work with:

this layout is a birthday present for my mom. she is on the black & white photo with all her grandchildren. the small pictures are the most recent photographs of each one of them - elise, willy and theo. 

i used the newest PRIMA marketing line - "pixie glen" and some other of their AMAZING products. i did a lot of stamping, stitching and fussy cutting... as usual :-) 

some close ups:

the title is written with brown alphabet stickers from PRIMA marketing. the pink pearls are also from the same manufacturer. 

 the cute little pixie and the umbrella are cut off one of the papers from the "pixie glen" paper line. the curls under the circle are made with one of the "annalee" clear stamps.

i couldn't put anything on top of this quote - i really LOVE it! so i made a little opening to fit my paper strip through it. i used the white opal liquid pearls a lot as you can see:-)

 i coloured the bird with "frosty" glimmer mist. i stamped the "happy birthday" words with my latest ippity stamp "FALL for you".

off to finish one more layout now!

i was pleasantly surprised when i got an e-mail from scrapbooking.com editors, that my layouts "my hero" and "fun times" were chosen to be published in their september 2011 issue. YAY!

the article, featuring "my hero" layout is about embellishments and this is what the editors are saying about my work "a mix of purchased and handmade embellishments perfectly complements the colors and style of this layout."

on my layout i tailor made the ribbon flowers and hand cut the green swirls.
