Stampotique Challenge: Happy

A new fun challenge at Stampotique. Our hostess Kaz challenges us to make something that makes us happy. At first I didn't had a direction, cause a lot makes me happy. So I just started with a tag and the happy place just began. I love these colors, especially together. I love festive banners and washi tape, perfect combo. And maybe this cool dude stamps is not really suitable for these colors, but what the heck, he makes me happy :-D

Project Life

New weeks of my Project Life, still love it ;-) Although sometimes it's difficult to make an interesting photo, if you have worked all day or when you have been sick. 
I love to edit my photos in Pixlr-o-matic. It gives them some interest. And you can make crappy photos a bit better. I use the Tim Holtz ATC Die to cut the photos. And I bought the ATC cardstock cards pre-cut. So it makes it all very easy :-)

Stampotique Challenge: New Years Resolutions

This weeks challenge at Stampotique is hosted by Jane. We all make New Years resolutions and she makes sure we don't forget about them ;-) Let use them as an inspiration. I choose to use my resolution about creativity for this year, didn't want to make something about losing weight, that's depressing ;-) I don't have a huge one, just be in this incredible creative team, try to be as good as they are. Be creative with my little boy.  Keep up with Project Life. Hopefully attend inspirational workshops (already signed up for one by Finnabair). Maybe some others, but I don't dare to speak them out loud, let's wait and see ;-)

Project Life

I'm starting Project Life. The first time I heard about it was on Julie Balzer's blog. I Googled it some more. But I sooo love what Julie is doing with this project. Click here for her fantastic blog and look how she does Project Life. She is making it her own.
How I want to do it? I'm using A4 sheet from Ultra Pro and going to try to use only one sheet per week, so only one photo a day. That's very little I already discovered. I also bought a lot of Ali Edwards stamps for this project. I still hate my handwriting and love hers... so. Most of my photo's are made with my phone. Not really great, but I think that's not the point. They are snapshots of my daily life. I really love to use my templates and Julie has some great ones for Project Life, like Life Strips, Life Shapes and Life Numbers.

Stampotique Challenge: Dear Diary

Happy New Year to all my lovely blog readers :-*
A new year filled of (hopefully) inspiring challenges at Stampotique. And we start off with a fun one, cause this week Kim challenges us to make calendar pages, journal covers or pages, diaries etc. 
I made this page in my art journal. Doesn't Marci look cute, but don't be fooled cause she could kick you down in a heart beat. A bit like me, I started this year a bit grumpy ;-) I also used my new alphabet stamps and oh my... I LOVE THEM :-)
