I <strike>hate </strike>dislike all the pastelly colors, I am not charmed by all the egg and bunny embellishments so it is always a hard one to scrap.<br />
<br />
But we do have a great Easter tradition: Each year on Easter Saturday we have an egg hunt with a group of friends and a REAL Easter Bunny. So I do have great photo's to scrap. So I did take the challenge of scrapping somer Easter pics and using the sketch from <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap</a><br />
<br />
This is what I came up with.Must admit that I am pretty content with the result even though there no bunnies or eggs to be found.<br />
The title was cut with my <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/">Silhouette</a>. I have an <a href="http://aliedwards.com/">Ali Edwards</a> Easter stamp and I used that one to make it inot a cutting file. Love how it turned out. Yeah, do not even ask why I own an Easter stamp. Not sure myself either......<br />

But if it comes to scrapping I find myself using kraft all the time. Just love the versatility. I can look classy, playful and more jsut depending on what other materials you use. <br />
<br />
I played along with the challenges on <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">SU-per Challenges</a> a few times. A lot less than I wanted but hey, sometimes life just gets in the way. Looking for something to scrap I was on their blog and saw they are stopping. Too bad, loved their challenges and sketches. But then again, I do know how much time it takes to keep a site going. Runnig Let's Scrap was sometimes more than just a hobby.....<br />
<br />
So I am participating in one of their last challenges...... sad to see you girls go......<br />
<br />

This is the sketch they provided: </div>

We had an amazing time, Saw a lot and did see and do so many things. Scrapping these pics makes me realize that we need to plan another city trip. <br />
<br />
The pics are from the Eifel Tower by night. An amazing piece of architecture. A tower that was dreaded by many Parisians. They even handed a petition to the city to take it down. They said it was monstrous...... It actually got saved by radio. Eifel, who designed it, got 20 years for the twoer in the city before it was going to be used as scrap metal. In those 20 years the Eifel Tower was used as an antenna for the different radio stations. By the time those 20 years were over the city decided it was a very cheap way to keep the radio going and it got never taken down for scrap metal.<br />

We all know how teenagers are when it comes to taking photo's. They either want to pose with one of those stupid duck faces or do not want to be on it at all. In the fall of 2014 my dear son went to London with his friend Fay and her mom. Unfortunately I was not able to join them. They did not spend a whole lot of days there but they had a blast and came home with some great photo's. A few of them showed the teenagers in them and I finally scrapped them....<br />

But sometimes I look at what I made using the sketch and wonder where I wandered off...... Yesterday I made my first Christmas card for this year and it did not look like the sketch from <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">Su-per Challenges</a> at all, not even a little.<br />
Today I made another Chrsitmas card using a different sketch from <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">SU-per Challenges</a> and again: Where did I loose the sketch? Must admit, I did use the sketch, I honestly did. Maybe I got inspired by the star on the sketch, the text in the box or maybe something else. Not really sure.<br />
Enough <strike>talking</strike> typing:<br />
<br />

This is the sketch they posted: </div>

Back from spending 6 days in Budapest and back with a new card. <br />
I made this card with a sketch from <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">SU-per Challenges</a>. I actually made two with this sketch but I do not think they would have approved the first one I made......It was surely a very loose interpretation of the sketch. But I have to say this: It was my first Christmas card for this year. I got started on time this year<br />
<br />

This is the sketch they posted: </div>

Since then not one store bought card left my house. I love how simple and yet stunning some cards can be and how you can brighten up someone's day with a tiny gesture. As for me; digital cards will never replace the ones delivered by the mailman to your doorstep.<br />
<br />
With the flower die I used for this card I used my <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/product/tool-n-one%E2%84%A2">Tool 'n One</a> made by <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/">Spellbinders</a>. Such a great and nifty tool that really saves me a lot of time every time I use it. If you need to think of a crafty Christmas gift: Perfect pick!<br />
<br />
I made this card for the colour challenge at <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">SU-per Challenges</a>. The colour combo was a hard one at first but I really love the result. There's a good friend that will be very happy when it will land on the door mat. This was the colour combo given to use:<br />

There is no easy way to get it back. I used to browse online galleries to find inspiration and that worked quite well but with all the major galleries disappearing it is hard to find a good source. Always love the LO's at <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> but they also make me feel like such a lousy scrapper, such talented people there. <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> also does the job, though I have to admit Pinterest does the job for all my problems. Crap, I <strike>hate</strike> love Pinterest.<br />
Sketches and exampleso f the sketch seems to work pretty well for me too,<br />
<br />
This LO is made with a sketch from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/">Stuck! Sketches</a>. Awesome sketch it is. Loved working with the diagonal lines and paper that has been in my stash for sooooo long! The pics are from march 2014 while visiting the oceanside and my Little Lady just kept on jumping and jumping from those dunes. Just believe me when I tell you there was sand EVERYWHERE!<br />
This is the sketch that was given:<br />

Sometimes life just gets in the way and sometimes that results in pretty big changes. And when I tell you pretty big, trust me, they are pretty big. <br />
<br />
I also had a huge mojo problem because of life and I do not really know where my mojo went to but I can assure you it left the building and was nowhere to be found.<br />
The last few weeks I have been trying to scrap again and I am slowly getting back in business.<br />
<br />
I have scrapped a few pages in the last week but none of them were worth blogging about. Until this one............ finally one that got approved by me (pain in the butt I am)<br />
<br />
I made this one with this weeks Sketch-y Friday at <a href="http://www.shopscrapmuch.blogspot.ca/">ScrapMuch</a>. They has a great double pager for a sketch but as usual I only used half of it. Again a one pager. Nothing new here either....<br />
<br />
The pics were taken in Paris last year where DS and his BFF since 2yo were visiting to celebrate friendship. This is the sketch they posted:<br />

I always love looking at all the mixed media canvasses here and there and am a big fan of Kelly Rae Roberts. And....I have always wanted to try some mixed media myself. I know that one thing I love about scrapping the way I do it is that I have total control of the outcome. Something you have NOT when you do mixed media. Well, maybe you do and I <strike>totally have no clue what I am doing</strike> am just a girl with no mixed media experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with speding a small fortune on supplies: Gesso, matte medium, canvasses, brushes. I decided to use my scrapbooking acrylic paints and mists, which I actually have a lot...... (shame shame)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked at some of the pins on my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/drdewilde/mixed-media-madness/">Mixed Media Board</a> on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> and decided I should not let myself get overwhelmed with all the techniques and tutorials, I was just going to start. </div>

I have finally scrapped a photo that I wanted to scrap for such a long time. When I showed Dear Son the photo he said: Hey, that is me, but where is that? All those weird looking colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started laughing while telling him the little gopher in the photo is actually his dad and it was taken on a plane flying from Toronto to Amsterdam in 1971.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love that pic where Dear Husband is sleeping with his sailor ourfit (doesmn't that look absolutely adorable? And boy those colours on the plane, talk about retro.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used quite a bit of stash for this and made it look fancy with the new trend in scrapbooking land: GOLD! </div>

How much fun can a challenge be where the only challenge is: anything goes? Well, harder than I thought and expected. Again I made a card, this time for a crafty friend who need a little pad on the shoulder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am posting this for the challenge over at <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">Su-perchallenges</a>. I always loved blue, no matter what but with card I seem to grab my blue inks EVERY time. Sorry if it gets boring......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And somehow the rhinestones in the pics look kinda green but they are NOT, they are exactly the same color as the turquoise ink. Guess my camera played tricks there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As an administrator I have access to all the coming sketches and sponosrs but it alsways the coolest to see it on the blog (formerly the site) and combined with all the awesome work the design team has done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got ot play with this weeks sketch (I never play 'ahead', so when it comes out I scrap it, not any earlier) and somehow it did not work out. I do not know if it was the p per, the title or even the pics. It just does not appeal to me, not at all. I did use lots of stash, so that is one good thing about it. And the photo's I scrapped are from 2009, also a good thing, not only scrap new ones. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even taking pics of the layout did not work. I guess it could also be a bad day for anything...... makes you wonder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But hey, a layout is a layout so I am posting it and putting it in the draw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after seeing my failure you might want to hop over ot the <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap Sketches</a> blog to see what our amazing design team did with the sketch.</div>

I decided to make a year worth of cards. So cards for all the people that celebrate their birthday, anniversary or wedding and make some extra ones for sick people and even a condoleance card. And you never know when someone gets pregnant or has a baby so I will include those too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I used the colour challenge from <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">Su-per Challenges</a> and the sketch from <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap</a>. I flipped the sketch because somehow it seemed better that way. </div>

I am a complete sucker for caddies, baskets, containers, boxes and anything that holds items. Thanks goodness I am a scrapper so I need a lot of those to store all my supplies. I have the cutest white metal containers that have pink numbers on there. They store my bling, my stamps and my glue stock. I love the two galvanized wired baskets with handles that store my wooden embellishments and my made cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks back I came acroos a tutorial on Pinterest that showed how to make a caddy from a single shoebox. Right up my alley as you can imagine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike>So I Pinned it.</strike> I thought I Pinned it and went looking for it after we bought our little lady some winter boots. The perfect box for a caddy. But my Pin was nowhere to be found. So I had to rely on my photographic memory................ uhm, well, just on what I remebered seeing while Pinning it. Or actually; not Pinning it. Well, you get the point. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made photos of the work in progress so you can see what I did and try it yourself when you have a shoebox ready. I apologize for the quality of the photos but I took them in a kind of dark hallway and did not turn on any light.............</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First you take the box (do NOT put the lid away, you will need it later!) and measure the long side of the box. In my case it was 30cm (about 12"). I marked the middle both on the top and bottom of the box and used that mark as the middle of my 10cm..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You lost it already right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You wil have to cut a triangle out of both long sides. Trust me, the photo will clear this all up. I measured the long side and came to 30cm. I divided that in 3 so that the finished product would look like a caddy. <b>That</b> is the 10cm I was talking about before. So you divide the box length in three and that is the amount you will need to cut out. So on my box: I measured 5cm from the middle to both sides and cut it to the mark on the bottom of the box (the mark that shows the middle)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your box will now look like this: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wRnAJYwVx0s/VB8p1Y8u-3I/AAAAAAAAXRg/HKrtHXrajUY/s1600/IMG_0986.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wRnAJYwVx0s/VB8p1Y8u-3I/AAAAAAAAXRg/HKrtHXrajUY/s1600/IMG_0986.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TvSESvO7H74/VB8p1f4chEI/AAAAAAAAXSw/hHe70T1FZvc/s1600/IMG_0987.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TvSESvO7H74/VB8p1f4chEI/AAAAAAAAXSw/hHe70T1FZvc/s1600/IMG_0987.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you need to fold the box in half, You can score from the bottom of the triangle to the bottom of the triangle across the box. What I did was this. I put my ruler in the box en then folded the box with the ruler in there. No fuzz, just fold.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did I already tell you that the easuring you did before is the only measuring you will do in this project? Cool, right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qh7rrsUAX9Y/VB8p2Q3FNyI/AAAAAAAAXSg/YUNy9JGz6TU/s1600/IMG_0990.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qh7rrsUAX9Y/VB8p2Q3FNyI/AAAAAAAAXSg/YUNy9JGz6TU/s1600/IMG_0990.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After folding it your box should look like this: You must admit, it already looks like a caddy, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MkiNsrFaJgM/VB8p2u7HS3I/AAAAAAAAXSU/vSjcaLghUEw/s1600/IMG_1007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MkiNsrFaJgM/VB8p2u7HS3I/AAAAAAAAXSU/vSjcaLghUEw/s1600/IMG_1007.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From now on things will only get easier. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you need the lid to make the sides. Simply put the lid over the side (i did not take a photo of this but let me try to explain: The lid will have to stand up straight and cover the side of the caddy. It will look way to long...... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4K1MymoWtgU/VB8p2jEgfgI/AAAAAAAAXSc/e-WNPCaHi7U/s1600/IMG_1006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4K1MymoWtgU/VB8p2jEgfgI/AAAAAAAAXSc/e-WNPCaHi7U/s1600/IMG_1006.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mark the side of the caddy on the box and do this for both sides. Cut the lid of the box. After cuttong your lid will look like this: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V6_hQmDGkbs/VB8p3GIeRMI/AAAAAAAAXSM/pmMhYy4Xsa4/s1600/IMG_1008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V6_hQmDGkbs/VB8p3GIeRMI/AAAAAAAAXSM/pmMhYy4Xsa4/s1600/IMG_1008.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now attach your lid pieces to the caddy and tape it together. I used duck tape but I guess you can use packaging tape or any wide tape. As long as it sticks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what your caddy will look like when it is unfolded. (that little foot you see is our little lady.....)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aLuPDl85JeE/VB8p3ElhAdI/AAAAAAAAXSI/458akD9Me0Y/s1600/IMG_1009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aLuPDl85JeE/VB8p3ElhAdI/AAAAAAAAXSI/458akD9Me0Y/s1600/IMG_1009.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, fold the box over into a caddy shape and tape the bottom together so the caddy will remain a caddy no matter what. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8Qk96aw9Mo/VB8p3qXt2II/AAAAAAAAXSE/ypwyTP7bvN0/s1600/IMG_1010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8Qk96aw9Mo/VB8p3qXt2II/AAAAAAAAXSE/ypwyTP7bvN0/s1600/IMG_1010.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply put duck tape over the bottom sides so it also functions as a protector of the caddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yCfqRtbFVqQ/VB8p37U5L_I/AAAAAAAAXSY/VvOvERvWgMU/s1600/IMG_1011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yCfqRtbFVqQ/VB8p37U5L_I/AAAAAAAAXSY/VvOvERvWgMU/s1600/IMG_1011.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And voila, you are done!!!!! This is the actual caddy aftyer 15 minutes of work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jeuIKt9MTC0/VB8p4Li839I/AAAAAAAAXSQ/I2zEqCEmIUc/s1600/IMG_1012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jeuIKt9MTC0/VB8p4Li839I/AAAAAAAAXSQ/I2zEqCEmIUc/s1600/IMG_1012.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you can cover it with fabric, paper or even paint. You can make a handle in the top middle but I did not do that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I covered mine with double sided wrapping paper and now I need to find something to put in...... I had no special technique for covering it, I just made sure all sides could be covered by the paper and wrapped it like a gift. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And yes, the paper does look wrinkly but that is just the Tacky Glue not being dry yet. I have had so many Tacky Glue expereience that I now know things will all look well in the end. They do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the great things about making the sketches for <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap</a> is that you get to see what others make with your sketch. Every time I am inpressed with the creations. You should really hop over ot see what the design team did with my card sketch for this week. Check it out <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/2014/09/weekly-sketch-9-17-14.html">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to make something with the prize I won at Su-perchallenges I started this card. Love this patterned paper. My prize came also with the prettiest ribbon and one of the awesome <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/home/en-US/">Stampin' Up</a> ink pads. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also played with my new set of Sizzix Framelits. They made a great set where <a href="http://www.jillibean-soup.com/">Jillibean Soup</a> did the design, <a href="http://www.sizzix.com/home">Sizzix</a> the dies and <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/">Hampton Art</a> the stamps. A great conbination of design and craftmanship for sure. Really really cool set I have to say......</div>

So I used this weeks sketch at <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap</a> and this is what I came up with:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The sentiment, small stars and the arrow came from the <a href="http://www.sizzix.com/home">Sizzix</a> set, the bigger star in the circle is a regular stamp from <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> that I punched out with a circle punch.</div>

Sometimes a card does means so much more than a text message or something. This weekend I found a friend that really deserved a card. Sometimes one jsut needs help and then it arrives from a total unexpected area. Well, that deserved a card. And this is what I came up with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not have a whole lot of inks so this is a combination of <a href="http://www.tsukineko.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=25">StazOn</a>, <a href="http://rangerink.com/?product=tim-holtz%C2%AE-distress-ink-pads">Distress Ink </a>and <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-category.cfm?colorbox-classic-pigment-ink">Colorbox</a> pigment ink. But I do have twine, lots of twine...................... I could have wrapped the whole card in twine if I wanted to.</div>

I can not even recall the last time I got my photo's printed. The other day I was all set to have them transferred and then I decided I'd better get some older photo's scrapped before ordering any new ones. You should see the piles of pics I still have here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to make a good start I started with some pics of my DS enjoying summer vacation week in our neighbourhood. I made this LO with this weeks sketch from <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap</a>. </div>

Title and journaling in Dutch. For the letters 'de' in my title I used the outline of the sticker sheet. That way you have twice as many stickers on your sheet (said the frugal scrapper.....)</div>

I have quit a few birthdays coming up and so cards always come in handy this time a year. For this one I participated in the <a href="http://su-per-challenges.blogspot.nl/">Su-perchallenges</a>. There was a card up for inspiration and the challenge was just to let the card inspire you. As for me, the blue and the flowers of the card inspired me to make this card. I needed another masculin card and I think I pulled it off. Well, hopefully......</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a recipe challenge which is one of my faves for sure. It gives you the freedom to be creative and I always love ot see how everyon makes somethingcompletely different with the same ingredients. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we visited Canada last year I stacked my suitcases full with Mason Jars. Not the regular ones, but the ones with 'Canadian' on them. I filled met with socks, underwear and everything else that would fit in there to make sure they would survive the trip. They all did and are now used for storage in my studio. I filled them with buttons, flowers, spools, tins and even chandelier pendants. Love the way they look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But one thing I never didand always wanted was to sort of decorate them. So this week I finally bought some supplies for that and got out my tin of vintage keys I scored on Ebay a while back. So with some twine, butlap, hemp cord, a door knop and keys I made it into the cutest jar ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IuG53Dxegd8/VAxNnH3F0CI/AAAAAAAAXKA/JOYvz0Oeens/s1600/foto%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IuG53Dxegd8/VAxNnH3F0CI/AAAAAAAAXKA/JOYvz0Oeens/s1600/foto%2B2.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started wih the lid. I did not have a full lid, only a ring with the loose lid in there so I started by glueing them together so it was transformed into an actual lid. Then I punched a hole in the middle with my biggest eyelet puncher (the old fashion one, you know, with the hammer ;) ) My advice: First punch the hole and then glue the pieces of the lid together, so much easier</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At last I spray painted the lid white and added the knob. After that it was only a matter of decorating with the twine, burlap and the hemp cord.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could call this a Pinterest challenge done since I have a <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/drdewilde/mason-jars/">Mason Jar board</a> on Pinterest. Hhhhmmmmm, maybe I should look for a new challenge to do. But furst things first. I still have to start Chriss' challenge at <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">Let's Scrap</a>. Love recipe challenge and I do want to play.</div>

I have told this before and will tell it again: I am not a card maker and not a stamp person. Though I do like to send home made cards to friends and family and so I struggle and figt with cards, sketches stamps and envelopes. not sure why I keep punishing myself here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for stamping techniques: I know how to heat emboss and how to layer stamps. I hate colouring stamps (digi or actual stamps) but I do like colouring in general. I would like to learn how to mask while stamping and how to use more than one colour on a stamp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why this talking about techniques? At <a href="http://blog.red-rubber-designs.com/">Red Rubber Inspirationals</a> they were talking about techniques and I made a card with the only technique I really master: Layering. Though you might wonder if it is a rea technique or just a matter of stamp on stamp on stamp. Not sure and to be honest: I could not care less: I love how this card turned out. I planned to make a masculin card for a birthday and it looks pretty masculin to me. </div>

About the glitter spray: I use the cheapest glitter hair spray I can find. I have been using it for years and it works like a charm. The glitter is really fine and I also find it a great fixator for all media used. The spray can I buy only costs me ,99. Pretty good for a scrapbook supply, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last two photo's are a bit crappy but I wanted to show you the effect of the glitter spray. Cool, isn't it? </div>

One thing I have been wanting to do is using my <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/">Silhouette</a> Stamp Kit that has been lying in my studio for almost a year. It seems like it it just as easy as cutting paper but somehow it really scared the cr** out of me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.silhouetteamerica.com/2/i/p/k/i/kit-stamp-3t_02-xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn.silhouetteamerica.com/2/i/p/k/i/kit-stamp-3t_02-xl.jpg" height="262" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a stamp set I really want but really like only one of the two stamps that is in the set. And you have got to believe me when I say the set is awfully expensive. This morning a gright and intelligent idea came to me: Why not cut it myself with the Silhouette Stamping kit? The design is not very intricate, fairly simple even, so it would be a great try. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So opening the box (it comes with great extra's like 3 very sturdy acrylic blocks with grits, ink and a instruction CD with extra shapes) and finally got going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Following the instructions booklet it al seems very easy. Adjusting the settings is always easy in my Silhouette (did I already tell you how much I love my <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/">Silhouette</a>?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardest thing is always lining up your mat. did you know there's a special mark on your Silhouette where your mat needs to be before you start cutting? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my Silhouette SD it is the little extra mark between the bigger grey marks. If you line your mat up with that mark you are all set! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M9QCwBkHcN4/VAh28xeRuLI/AAAAAAAAXBM/P8JresasnRI/s1600/foto%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M9QCwBkHcN4/VAh28xeRuLI/AAAAAAAAXBM/P8JresasnRI/s1600/foto%2B5.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I finally started cutting I got a bit nervous, would it be this easy? Well, I had a reason for not trusting the whole thing: It did not work. No idea what happened but the cutting did not go well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing that scared me was the movement op the cutting material while the Silhouette was cutting. It moves while your Silhouette is cutting. So I Googled and got happy again: That was perfectly normal. One less thing to worry about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0BhtxHdaW0/VAh279zVTzI/AAAAAAAAXA4/x7vGARTICLY/s1600/foto%2B3%2B(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0BhtxHdaW0/VAh279zVTzI/AAAAAAAAXA4/x7vGARTICLY/s1600/foto%2B3%2B(1).JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the cutting was done (it takes longer than a paper cut) I was so dissapointed with the result. It did get cut but not completely and the original design was nowhere to be seen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, not sure what happened and looking on the internet did not helkp me there. So I guess I will have to try again. Another day............</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DwgszaJqW78/VAh28mNKNxI/AAAAAAAAXBE/YJa2gQGG1nU/s1600/foto%2B4%2B(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DwgszaJqW78/VAh28mNKNxI/AAAAAAAAXBE/YJa2gQGG1nU/s1600/foto%2B4%2B(1).JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This whole ordeal reminds me of the fact that I promised to write a tutorial on how to use your own handwriting as a cutting file. I will do that soon, very soon! </div>

And much more now since I make their sketches and are one of the administrators. Duh......<br />
We had a site hosted which gaves us more and more headaches. It was a lot of work, very user unfriendly and sometimes way to complicated. So we talked and talked and decided to transform the site into a blog. Same sketches, still have a DT, still challenges and also still the chance to win a prize.<br />
And today is the big reveal: http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/ is officially in the air. Within 10 hours we already have 200 followers, wow!<br />
So please hop over, start following and see what our DT did with the sketch! You can find us <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.nl/">HERE</a><br />
<br />
Besides making the sketches I also love scrapping so I am trying to get my mojo back and keeping it locked in my studio. Not sure if it will work that way but so far so good.<br />
<br />
Here's thise weeks sketch and what I made with it:<br />

I used one side of the sketch and flipped it so it would fit my pics. I love using those acetate letters and shapes. Thanks Crate Paper! The photo was taken in Brittany, France last year. My dear son searching for crabs. </div>
