Nicole's Cricut Cartridges Candy

http://stampinupnicole.blogspot.com/2009/11/cricut-cartridges-candy.html (05-12)

Op Nicole's blog is er momenteel een fantastische candy: je kan een Cricut Cartridge Home Decor winnen! Om mee te doen, moet je volger worden van haar geweldige blog (gemakkelijk want ik was dit al lang) en een foto van jou met je Cricut plaatsen. Na lang twijfelen heb ik dit voorjaar er eindelijk eentje gekocht, en ik heb nog geen seconde spijt gehad. Wat een supergave machine! Jammergenoeg zijn de cartridges nogal prijzig. Vooral omdat het prijsverschil met Amerika zo groot is, vind ik het zonde om 70-80 euro te betalen. Dus ben ik op zoek geweest op veilingsites en zo heb ik toch al 4 extra font-cartridges kunnen kopen.

- Cricut cartridges Platin Schoolbook (circles) and George&Basic Shapes (stars)

I had to make a birthday card for my nephew's daughter, Hanka, who turns 4 next tuesday.

- Basic Grey Euphoria patterned paper (candy from Bernie )
- Cricut cartridge Plantin Schoolbook (circles)
- The Robins' Nest Dew Drops 'Orchid'

- American Crafts brad (large)

Creanijn sketch 82

I've used the most recent sketch from Creanijn . I had lots of embellishments for this layout: the tickets, a coin and an information folder. Because this folder was quite big I tried to hide it behind the right border. I actually made it a little bit to small because I had only a little space left to glue it together.




My supplies:
- Plantin Schoolbook cartridge (title)
- Staedtler pigment liner 0.5 (journaling)
- cardstock
- Love Elsie patterned paper: Jack+Abby Linens

Nicole's candy!

http://stampinupnicole.blogspot.com/2009/10/100000-bezoekers-candy.html (15-11)

Ik heb eind juni/begin juli m'n kamer, die zowel dient als slaap- als knutselkamer, volledig heringericht met de bedoeling wat meer plaats te hebben om te scrappen en om m'n spulletjes wat beter bij de hand te hebben. En ik vind dat dit goed gelukt is!

Er moeten nog wel een aantal dingetjes gebeuren: volgende week worden mijn gordijnen geleverd en ik ben nog op zoek naar een mooie kader voor boven m'n bureau, maar dat is niet zo dringend.


Creanijn Sketch 80: Belleville

http://creanijn-sketches.blogspot.com/
As I had a few days off work this week, I spend a lot of time in my crafting room.
I love using Vicky's sketches as scrapping goes so much faster and I'm sure the layout will look good (unless I choose the wrong papers of course).





My supplies:
- American Crafts patterned paper
- cardstock
- Jasmine Cricut cartridge
- Staedtler pigment liner 0.5 (journaling pen)
