I bet you guys are wondering by now how I started scrapbooking!! Well, I've always been creative.. I always loved collecting and playing with all kinds of papers.. and I loved to put my pictures in albums creatively.. I did a lot of different things.. but most of the time I was making cards! Especially 3d cards with a lot of glitters!!!! So when I visited the US in 2005 I saw some awesome scrapbooking ideas in the different stores.. so when I came back I just HAD to look on the internet for more info.. And at that moment my new addiction was born.. whahaha!!!
Here are some of the cards that I've created back then (I think in 2004 or 2005)!!!
So, did you all had a nice weekend?? Did you do something for World Card Making Day?? I had PLANNED to do a loooot of cards this weekend.. but I ended up with only 1 finished card.. such a pitty!!! Here it is... (this card opens in the middle, I've used some glittery paper that I found back in my stash from a looooong time ago)
I started a layout last week which I managed to finish yesterday (pictures: my grandpa (94 years old) and my mom in my grandparents garden in France)
My sister stopped by for a cup of tea on Saturday and asked me to take some pics of her belly... so cute.. Her belly is growing so fast right now... I just needed to take a couple of shots so she can remember this when her little baby is born. Here are some of the pics.. I'm not a pro.. I know... but I'm pretty happy how they turned out (and my sister is happy too!)... hehe..

Wishing you all a great week.. only 4 days to go and it will be weekend again.. whaha!!!

ReplyDeleteSo cute card and so sweet and adorable photos of your sisters belly! It is so cute with pregnant bellys!!!
ReplyDeleteThe layout is gorgeous as well!!!
Hugs from Sanna
Great to hear how it all started. My mom made such cards too. I was never a fan of the 3D cards. The card you created this weekend is very nice. I really like how it opens in the middle. Your LO is beautiful too. What a nice keepsake of your grandpa. The pics of your little sis are great too. Unfortunately I don't have such pics of myself. Too bad, heh? Will you scrap these pics for her? Or does she scrap too?
ReplyDeleteTake care

Hi Nancy, lovely to see how you started out card makin which led to scrapbooking, you cards are real cute!!! and love the one you made for WCMD, its fab!!! love the fancy pin you have in it. Im waiting on some fancy pins arriving in the mail, {Heidi Grace & Fancy Pants, cant wait}
ReplyDeleteYour sis im sure is all delighted about the new baby :) enjoy your week xxx
Wat een prachtig kaartje zeg! Heel mooi! Leuk om te zien hoe je kaartjes er in het begin uit zagen.
ReplyDeleteWat heeft je zus trouwens een mooi buikje. Echt mooi zwanger. De foto's zijn trouwens goed gelukt hoor! Gaat daar nog een lootje van komen? :)Mooie lo ook van je opa en je moeder. Fijn als mensen op zo'n leeftijd nog uit de voeten kunnen!
groetjes Wilma
Love your glittery card, its so pretty, and your fabulous layout!
ReplyDeletezo ben ik ook begonnen met de hobby, maar dan embossing en borduren met 3d, maar sinds ik met scrappapier in aanraking ben gekomen is de verslaving aan mooi papier een feit.
ReplyDeleteje kaartje is helemaal te gek geworden, ik geloof dat ik ook nog wat van dat parelmoerpapier heb liggen.
Je lO is zoals altijd helemaal te gek!
leuke foto's heb je gemaakt van je zwangere zus, ga je er nog iets mee doen?
Awwww....LOVE all these fun photographs! Those preggo photographs are WONDERFUL! I Lahooove your card and LO creation too...so full of wonderful inspiration girly! I just love ya! Thanks for sharing...and I can't wait to hear about your fun toot too *wink* xxoo
ReplyDeleteLove ya,

Wow, wow, wow... It's funny how it all started isn't it. I started scrapping very early too, but it ruined the pictures more than it did any good, but I was only 12 or so, lol. I love your card and I especially like your LO. xox
ReplyDeleteyou made beautiful cards back then too. The layout of your grandfather is gorgeous too. I like the way you changed the background. Have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteCute cards .... well - we all started SOMEWHERE, right?!?! And I love your Layout + the fab pictures too :)

Leuk hè die oude kaarten, ik maakte vroeger ook hoofdzakelijk 3d kaarten, daarna ben ik gaan scrappen omdat ik het kaartenmaken zat was, en wat doe ik nu? Juist.... scrapkaarten maken, hahaha! Die glitterkaart is ook al weer zo apart :)
ReplyDeleteDie LO van je opa en moeder is zoals gewoonlijk weer schitterend. Knap hoor, hoe jij dat doet. Je zusje ziet er echt stralend uit. Mooi buikje hoor, die foto's worden een hele mooie herinnering.
Ja, fijn hè, Nancy....^^ de week is alweer bijna om joh, nog maar 4 daagjes, hahaha als je het zo zegt valt het inderdaad wel mee :)
Veel plezier nog en een fijne avond.
Groetjes

I love to see people's past work and see how the style changes!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout and card as always!!

ReplyDeleteI am sorry you only got one card done but it is magnificent! I love the cards from the day. You sister's belly shot are very cute and will make a great page! Now, I know why I picked you at Creative Xpress for the blog of the week! You rock!
ReplyDeleteHoi Nancy
ReplyDeleteWat grappig om te lezen dat je begonnen bent met 3D. Ook ik ben daar mee begonnen. Inmiddels puilen de kasten uit met scrappapier en ligt het 3D ergens op zolder.
Je kaart en LO is zoals gewoonlijk weer prachtig.
En je hebt schitterende foto's gemaakt van je zusje
Wow - there is hope for me! I love making cards and am terrified of trying to scrap a page. I love looking at your creations! You give me so much inspiration. I really like that card!!! The way it opens in the middle....I just might have to try that out myself! The photos of your sister are wonderful. I just love black & white photos. :)
ReplyDeleteLook at how creative you are!
Hugs,
Mia
Oh, those belly pictures are just so sweet!!! Love cute pregnant gals!
ReplyDeleteThe layout is gorgeous!!! Just love the pictures on it. How special to have those!
