New things are coming!

Hello lovely people!

Just a quick blogpost to let all my readers know why I don't post most lately.
I have just done a similar post, but I kind of left out the most important part.. 
It's true that I don't have a lot of time, or creativity at this moment. 
But there is something more interesting than that going on.

A miracle is growing inside of me! Yes, we are expecting a baby! We are at 15 weeks now (well, tomorrow..) and we couldn't be happier. We are really looking forward to the things to come. 

The picture is a bit funny, but the head is on the left (and it's the arm showing, not a huge nose.. haha). We don't want to know what it is, so whenever I use 'his' or 'her', I am just avoiding the use of its, because that sounds a little stupid to me.. 

Anyway, with this new arrival coming, we are also working on new things! I am currently working on a pregnancy album, which is coming along pretty well. I am trying to update it a little bit, and then I'll do a blogpost about it. 

Well, that's it for now.


Lots of love,

Project Life | Love for Laura's collections

Hello everyone!

I haven't blogged a lot lately, simply because I didn't really create anything. 

I am currently 2 weeks behind in my Project Life album, and am actually struggling to make pictures every week. I just simply forget. So I don't feel like documenting, since I don't have many great pictures to use.

So that is definitely something I need to focus on more.

But, I am still enjoying all things Project Life (obviously). I recently ordered parts of the three new kits available at Hobby Lobby. We don't have them here, but my local scrapbookstore is seriously amazing, because she somehow manages to get hold of everything. 

Something else Project Life related is my part of the Laurel Lane Design team. She recently added a new collection and it's awesome! So this time a blogpost dedicated to Ms Laura Rahel, who designs the most amazing Project Life cards. They honestly fit in to every spread!

This is her latest addition, and I love it!

And I also want to share my favorite set of cards. I love them because they are so simple and clean. I am in love with the theme, just suitable for any picture. 

She obviously has many more collections, so be sure to check out her blog! She has a link to her etsy stores (yes, she has two..) there as well.

Well, that's it for now. Just showing my love for Laura's cards!

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 12 - Laura Rahel Designs

Hello Everyone!

Another lay-out for my Project Life album. I found out I am perfectly capable of keeping my album up to date, but updating my blog is a whole other story! But I try to do it as much as possible! I just have so many things to do. So, my apologies!

Anyway, here is my layout for week 12!

I used one 12x12 photo on the left. It is such a beautiful picture. It is literally 1 minute away from our little apartment and it's so nice to walk around 'the harbor' (it used to be the harbor, but now that's moved.)

On the right hand side I used the 2 pictures I made that week. For some reason I didn't take any pictures! Can you believe it? It was Easter and I didn't take 1 picture of it! I feel so stupid! Anyways, the Laura Rahel cards make up for it quite a bit!

Hope you enjoy my lay-out!

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 11

Hello everyone!

I can't believe how long it took me to write a new blogpost! Seriously! It's probably because I haven't been able to do Project Life for a few weeks, because our laptop crashed. Which means, I couldn't print my photos.. That was not cool!

Anyhow, here is my spread for the second week of March (even though we are nearly at the end of April).

I used mostly Laura Rahel designs, so be sure to click the link to Laura's etsy shop!

I used a Midnight edition card for the title card and a daydreamer card to write the story. 

I hope you enjoy it, because honestly, I don't.. I think this spread is one of the worst I did, but at least it's documented, which is basically the point right..

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 10

It's been a while since I posted a Project Life spread, so I'll have two new spread coming this week. First off is this spread, I made in week 10. 

I found out we mostly have only 1 really interesting (and photo heavy) page a week, and one page with lots of everything. As is the case this week. 

On the left hand side you see a few things we did this week. We decided to sell our house, so we went to visit a potential new home (which didn't make it in the end) and we made our balcony look a little better by adding pretty plants. 

On the right hand side, you see the interesting day, which was a day out with the two of us. We went to have lunch, which was seriously good, and then went for a walk in the forest. it was a great day!

I also started a subscription with the Project Life kit of scrapdelight It's fun to try new things! So as you can see in the pictures, I tried to use a little more embellishments and I like it so far. I am still learning, but it looks pretty good to me!

Well, enough said. Enjoy the pictures!

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 8

This week has been a fun week, but I didn't take too many pictures. What I did take pictures of was our little problem with the car. We were on our way to my sister in law's birthday when the car suddenly stopped. We waited for some time before the 'Wegenwacht' (which is the car service) came. So I had some time to take pictures while we waited!

And what better designs to use than the designs of Laura which had the 'trouble' card and the road card available! I only used her designs.

I am only showing the right hand side, because the left hand side is a little too personal too share. I hope you understand!

Enjoy!

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 7

Hello you guys! It's week 7 up on the blog already! Time flies.

So this week, we bought a new rug and chair and the Mister had a bachelor party of our brother in law (to be..) The pages do not coordinate at all, but I had to add all the photos. So they look great apart from each other, but next to each other looks not so great. 

I decided to only add the pictures of the right hand side where your don't really see the faces of all the others, because I don't want to put pictures up of others when I don't know if they mind. And I don't know all of them, so I don't post them. So just 2 pictures on that spread, sorry!

I also added a Design E page protector to document the last day with our beautiful dog. It is actually the dog of my parents, but I was always the one who loved him most. They took him to a dog shelter, and even though I love him to bits, I live in a tiny apartment so I couldn't take him. Hence, the last day of Bruno (how creative were we when picking a name!)

I used:

- Midnight Edition Core kit

- Laura Rahel Designs (the hello life one!)

- The Gold Foil kit of Heidi Swapp

- The chalkboard mini kit

Enjoy!

Lots of love,

Project Life | Week 6

Hello again! 

So here's my spread for the 6th week! Time flies you guys! I can't believe we are halfway through February already! 

Anyways, the spread. I don't like how the photos do not work together at all, but I wanted to document all of the moments anyway. I just really feel like I need to capture our lives at this stage of time and I want to include everything. So even when the picture of a colorful bible does not cohere with the other (prettier) pictures of the spread, that's ok. (Yes Steph, it really is!)

For this spread I decided to use red as a 'theme color', I decided to go for red because of the pictures in the Sushi restaurant. They have lots of red in it, so I had no choice basically. 

I used:

- The midnight edition (again.. I just love that kit!)

- The road trip theme cards (for the red ones)

- A blanc card with a red heart attached to it

I also turned around two of my photos because they are too personal. 

Well, enjoy my spread!

ps. I am currently working on a mini album, which is turning out to be really awesome! So be sure to check back here later this week to see the 'result'.

Lots of love,
