This week....

Yesterday i went shopping with my mother, as always it was a great trip because my mom always knows exactly what i need and she always gives her honost opinion. I bought some nice shoes and a pair of black pants wich i needed, no fun to buy but i needed them
I also bought a new book of m favourithe writer, i read all her books and every time she has a new one comming up i am actually waiting for it. I hope this one will be just as good as all the others. Here are the rubber stamped fb's i received via a group swap, they are very lovely!!

A personal swap i received from a Dutch swapper friend, 2 deco's and some fb's!! Thanks!

These i just had to buy, in March there is a craft fair so i could have bought them there but i couldn't wait and there are 3 more so i can buy those there, lol.

You can use the stamped images as a 3d picture, i am looking forward to use them.

This lovely paper is also designed by Eline pellinkhof, check out her blog!!

Bye!!

Deco's and FB's

Here are some love/ valentine friendshipbooks i made via Creative_crafty_Booklets. I think they turned out very well. Sam and Harm were away on scoutscamp so i was alone with my youngest son and it was actually very nice, he was sweet and played a lot with lego so i got some time to do some crafting.

A deco entry i did today.

And an other deco i did today, Moomin theme, i made a nice flower myself by stamping a flower on 2 different papers and cut one and used some 3d tape to put it together, i think it looks very well, i am happy with the result.

Have a nice Sunday!!

My Pencils

Here they are, the pencils that i normaly use for the rubber stamped images.
I have no idea what i was thinking when i bought the aquarel stuff, this works much better for me. Iff you are interested in seeing how it works than take a look at the patterned paper blog.
The link is in my list, this lady also makes great cards.

Bye, Jolanda

AAAAARGHHH my mistake.....

Well, i made a mistake...... I actually thought i could do this, i tried but it was a mess.
I am not an aquarel artist......
I bought these nice aqua brushes and exelent water colors, presse on paper so it is easy to use because i wanted to color the rubber stamped pictures i have with this. For me it didn't work out. I actually feel a bit sad because it looks great iff you really can make it work.

So now i will put them up for sale, maybe you are interested????

Let me know.

It is good quality stuff!!!!!

I think i will stick to my derwent pencils they work much better for me.

Hugs Jolanda

My Birthday.

Monday I celebrated my 33th birthday, i took a day off from work. That was great!!
My parents came over and some friends. The mailman also came at my door with a big box, a lovely present from my very dear friend Susie, below you can see what was in the package.
I love the earrings, i also took a seperate photo of them but it was a bit blur.
Tom also loves the car and the jewelry box.














In the evening i backed 2 cakes for work and they loved it, yummie.
I also received a lot of nice cards from my penpals, thanks girls!!

Love.

A little update

Hello!!

Here is a little update from me, above you can see a huge swap i received from my Dutch swapper, great fb's!! Unfortunatly she will stop swapping.

A lovely Sizzix die i bought via ebay, nice and cheap, lol.
I can use this one with my cuttlebug.


A little while ago i told you that i was going to do a "workshop"pottery painting, i made 2 milkmugs for the kids and a lovely plate for my mom wich i already gave her as a christmas present.
I forgot to take a picture.

Tonight my boyfriend and i are going out for dinner to celebrate my birthday, it will be great to spend some time together without the kids.

Have a great Sunday!
Love Jolanda
