New Year's Showcase

Hi everyone,
It's the last day of 2011 and on MyStampBox we want to give you some last minute inspiration.
I created a layout about our year 2011.  The journaling is hiddenat the back of the picture. 

I used the stamp set Summer Alpha for the title.
If you want to see some more inspiration just go to our blog.

Enjoy the last day of the year.

Santa has been so good for me ...

He brought me an iPhone 4!!!  I'm the luckiest girl on earth right now, haha.  I always wanted to buy one but thought it was too expensive.  My bf gave me some money and I paid the rest of it.  So now, I'm the proud owner of an iPhone!! Can you tell that I'm so happy with it??? 

I immediatly installed Instagram and Hipstamatic.  This is the first picture I took with it.

It's Christmas Day at Eric's parents house.  Enjoying some yummie food, nice company, great presents ...

You can expect some more pics very soon.

Studio Calico

In october I received this beautiful Field trip kit from studiocalico.  It was the first time that I ordered their monthy kit and I must say that I'm totally in love with it.  So far, I've only created 1 layout with it but I plan to make another one tomorrow. Below you can see what is in the main kit.

I used the sketch from sketchythursdays  Totally in love with this sketch:

this is what I came up with:

sorry for the bad pictures.  Hope you can see the colours like they really are.  I used some glimmer mist (sunflower) and the butterflies from the kit to add some details.

I'm so thrilled to be in this DT.  MyStampBox has amazing stamps and I just can't wait to start creating with them.  I made already 1 layout and some house decoration.  So, stay tuned!!!

Finally an update ...

I'm a bit late to update my blog.  Here are some pics to show you what I've been up to lately.

The second weekend of september, we went on a little trip to Mechelen, a city near our capital Brussels.  My sister and her boyfriend came with us.

 It was warm so we needed a drink

 and some yummie food in the evening

 We enjoyed some culture too

A week ago we drove to the coast for a long walk while the sun came down.  It's was so relaxing.  We really needed some US-time

And now, I'm at home.  I should be in school teaching but the changing of seasons gave me a nice present :-(.  I'm having troubles breathing, my throat hurts and I have a sinus infection.  All in one, yippee!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr

Hope you are all feeling better than me.
Oh yes, I've been creative last week, but I can't show you yet.  I played with the awesome stamps of MyStampBox.  Come back later to check what I've made.

Scraptastic 2011

Together with my scrapbuddy Daphné, I went to Scraptastic 2011!  It was awesome.  We stayed in a beautiful hotel, had awesome teachers and lovely company.

I took 4 workshops: 1 of Birgit Koopsen, 1 of Céline Navarro and 2 of Donna Downey.  All of them were lots of fun.  Especially the 'dripping' by Donna :-)

Trinity College

I made a new layout using this sketchy from Le blog KesiArt

It was a fun sketch to work with.  I used a picture of Trinity college a Dublin.  We went to Dublin in January 2011

Happy Friday!!

Go Retro challenge

I made another layout for the callenges at Shimelle.  This time I had to use a picture from before 2011.  I had some pictures printed from my childhood and I choose one where I was still a baby.  I think the picture is from somewhere in 1980 because I was born in august 1979.

I used the sketch from callaloo_soup

this is what I came up with

the pictures are not that great.  I don't know if you can see, but I used craft cardstock.

Awful

That's all that we can say about horrible thing that happened at Pukkelpop .  Pukkelpop is a big music festival here in Belgium.

Last night, there was a very bad storm for only 10 - 15 minutes.  It started to rain hard, lots of lightning and thunder, very windy, hail, ....  Then the worst thing happened. One of the tents fell down because of the storm and another tent was destroyed by a tree.  Lots of people where inside those tents to shelter for the bad weather.  Can you imagine what happened.  People fell down, were under the tree, lots of panic.  The sad thing is: so far 5 people are dead and there are about 140 people injured.  Still 5 people are struggling for their life.

I knew my sister was at the festival too so I was worried like hell.  I send her a text message but she didn't answer right away.  After about half an hour, she texted me that she was allright.  She was so lucky because she was in the tent where the tree fell.  She couldn't escape right away and there was a lot of panic.  Finally she found a way out and lost her friends + boyfriend during the 'escape'.  After about an hour, they finally found each other.

This is a picture of the tent and the red circle shows where she got out of the tent.

Here are some other pics:
