Buzz and Bloom
Buuutt.. this week Buzz and Bloom started introducing the new 2009 designteam on their blog! We've all been asked to create a layout to introduce ourself..and besides that we were able to play with some awesome Buzz and Bloom goodies!!! I decided to pick one of my favorite colorcombo's as well.
Here's a closer look...
Just can't get enough of these fun mirror shapes. In this case I've used the cute MIR Love & Kisses: XOX and I've wrapped some floss with a flower sequin around the shape. Then I've added a fun stickpin through the floss to give it a finished look.
And what about this cute birdie!! I fell totally in love with these acrylic shapes. I decided to pimp this white ACR Totally Too Tweet - Large birdie up a little bit. I've added a rhinestone to her eye..and with Diamond Glaze I've covered the wings with glitter.
I've created my title by using the CB ABC - Urban Alphabet (mini). I started with the blank chipboard shapes, then I've pained them all black with some Acrylic paint. The next step was adding some shiny Diamond Glaze to the letters and I've added some pink jewels to the Diamond Glaze as well.
Hey... and don't forget to check out this new awesome challenge blog (which we've started with a group of scrapbooking friends)!! We'll be posting challenges twice a month (including our own takes on it) and we'll randomly give away a fun price for each challenge! Just can't wait to see what you come up with!!!!! Sooo.. what are you waiting for... check out our BLOG!!!!
Thanks for stopping by.. I promiss to make a blog-round again soon.. I'm missing reading all of your blogs so much!!!

Winter Wonderland
We've started the day today by dropping my parents off at the airport... they're heading to Los Angeles for a Cruise on the Panama Canal.. so cool.. I'm so jealous..hehe. I guess we'll have to be a little more patient.. in about 12 weeks it will be our turn to travel again.. hehe. On our way back we couldn't resist to stop and take a walk outside.. it's so beautiful in The Netherlands at the moment.. it's definitely Winter Wonderland (although it's really cold.. this week temperatures even dropped down to -20 degrees Celsius (that's about -4 degrees Fahrenheit).. brrrr.. really really cold. But we did manage to take some pictures...
I'll leave you all today with a little card that got pubbed in the previous issue of Cards Only magazine (I know I'm a bit late with posting my Xmas cards.. haha.. so sorry for that, patterned paper: Scenic Route):

Happy New Year
We've spent new years eve at my parents house (with my sister and her family and Pascal his parents), such a great and fun evening! So good to be together and enjoy eachothers company. Here's an impression of our evening...
Since the newest issue of Cards Only magazine hit the stores this week I'm allowed to show you my work from the previous issue, I'll start with this card made of My Little Yellow Bicycle papers:
I've been working on a fun assignment for Buzz and Bloom, unfortunately I cannot show you the complete project at the moment...but I guess it's ok to show you a little sneak peek of my layout (yup.. a layout.. WOOHOO.. it's been a while since I've created one!). I've had so much fun playing with their amazing goodies.. (I'm so in love with these mirror products!)
Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet sweet comments during the past year!!
--> You still have a few days to play along with my challenge from my last workshop. Just can't wait to see what you come up with!!
XOXO
