Bible Journaling

Today I spent some time with Jesus and my bible again. I love to do this bible journaling! It's such a great way to spend your quiet time! 

I decided to work on one of my favorite verses. I have so many BIG dreams (and I mean really big!) and this verse keeps me focused on what is important, which is Jesus and the kingdom of God. He is what it's all about. (While I write this, I listen to a song of Bethel, whom sing literally: 'This is all about you')

I am still trying to work on my watercoloring skills, but until then I keep using examples. I try to create something similar to the example. Sometimes it works out fine, sometimes it doesn't! Today it looks ok, although I don't really like the big flower.. But I'm learning! 

So the supplies I use are all photographed as well. I use cheap watercolor, but it works out fine! I only wish I had more colors to choose from. 

I use Micron Pens. They don't bleed through, but you can see it on the other side of the page. I found out there is no way to avoid this.. 

While I paint or write, I keep a sheet between the page and the rest of the bible, just to be sure it doesn't bleed through. 

Well, I just hope you like it, because I do! 

Lots of love,

Crochet | babyblanket

As you might have read on my 'Crochet Projects' page, I am currently working on a babyblanket. 

When one of my former colleagues had a baby girl we visited her with the team and I immediately fell in love with her nursery. It was just gorgeous! So I decided to go for the same look whenever I would be lucky enough to be pregnant. It was plain and simple with lots of white and a few touches of colors, including a 'rainbow' blanket. 

Now, before you start congratulating, I am NOT pregnant! Hopefully it will happen someday, but not yet;) It doesn't mean you can't buy/create things yet right?! Nothing wrong with some preperation! 

So, I am working on a blanket. I had quite a bit of yarn left over from my large blanket (Stylecraft DK) and wanted to create something with it. It is not enough for a big blanket, so it becomes a babyblanket. I made it around 90cm wide and will see where I end up. Probably around 100cm. 

The pattern is super easy. It is a ripple blanket which I made with the pattern of Lucy from Attic24. I love it! 

Enough talking, let's show some pictures!

Project Life | Week 3

This week I didn't take a lot of pictures, simply because it was dark and grey most of the time. The weekend was full with separate activities, so no coffee picture either. What we did have, was one very nice and bright day with 12C! I obviously had to take a picture and printed it to fit the entire page.

All the cards I used were designed by Laura! I only added a die cut from Heidi Swapp and some Washi Tape! Oh, and I used an overlay on top of the 12x12. 

Lots of love,

Project Life | week 2

Yesterday I worked on my second spread for Project Life. 

While orientating on Project Life I decided to go for plain and simple in my lay-outs. I found out it's harder than I thought. But I need to remind myself that it is not about the most amazing spread every single week. It is about documenting our life and remembering those everyday moments. 

So the spread looks quite alright. I am still not completely happy with it. But I'll get to that point some day.

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 1

So, I have finished my first week of Project Life! I completed it last week and thought I'd add it to the blog.

 

For this spread I used a few kits. First of all I used the kits of Laura Rahel! She designed some amazing cards. Together with those cards I added some of the Midnight Edition, a handmade card (the easy peasy one with the date!) and one of the Lucky Charm kit. I just love that gold! 

I love how the different designs are good together! Laura's cards are so easy to combine! 

Now it's time to start working on my second spread! My photos just came in:) 

Lots of love,

Laura Rahel Design Team

One of the reasons for me to start a blog is Laura.

I am lucky enough to call this beautiful soul my friend. She is so creative, fun and inspiring! 

She has been looking for members of her Design Team, and guess what?! I am part of it! Yay!!

As a member of the team, I was supposed to have a blog. I wasn't sure about this at first, because I still need to graduate and all those things (kinda important though..). But since it was one of my goals for the long term, I decided to go for it anyway and do it straight away!

Here is a picture of some of the amazing designs Laura has made.. I can't tell you guys how awesome her designs are! So go check out her etsy store and go crazy;)

Lots of love,
