Layout of Rebecca

This LO I made quite some time ago, but for some reason I have never blogged about it. It is one of my favorites of the LO's I have made so far, I really love how it turned out:

Materials used:
Maja Design – Vintage Summer Basics, Vintage Romance, Vintage Frost Basic
Brown cardstock
Stencils from Dutch Doobadoo and Memory Box
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Dusty Attic chipboard (Flowerbuds, Bookman ABC set, Leaves 2)
Liquid pears ballerina
Brown acrylic paint
Cosmic Shimmer Mist
China die (beYOUtiful)
From my stash: Lace, cheese cloth, embossing powder, white gesso and 1 half pearl 

Here are a few close-ups:

2nd Christmas card 2019

I have been busy making Christmas cards, this year I want to get them done earlier, and also sent out earlier, so there is a chance, that everybody receive them before Christmas.

Materials used:

Maja Design – "A gift for you" collection

White + 2 shades of grey cardstock

Parchment paper

Marianne Design die – CR1378

Memory Box die – Chatford Wreath

Spellbinders die – Layered Poinsettia

Grey embrodery yarn and halfpearls from my stash

Pentart 3D powder

Golden Christmas card

Another easy solution if you need to make a quick Christmas card:

I used gold glitter cardstock, gold cardstock and white cardstock. For the squares I used Spellbinders Matting basics 6x6, the candles are the "Glowing candles" die from Memory Box, and the words are a die from Dan Dies.

Christmas cards 2015 & 2016

I haven't shown my Christmas cards for the last 2 years, so here they are (at least the ones I could find pictures of).
2015:

And 2016:

From the pictures I can see that I have used dies from Sue Wilson, Spellbinders, Memory Box, Marianne Design, Precious Marieke, Impression Obsession and Dovecraft. I have also used some chipboard from Dusty Attic and some card toppers from DixiCraft. The papers are just different kinds I have in my stash.

I really need to get started on my Christmas cards and I also have plans about making gift tags, so maybe I should dedicate my next weekend to that, since Christmas is just around the corner.

My very first layout

Well I think it's about time I show you guys my first layout. I made it as a present for my Godparents, since I thought they needed some updated pictures of the kids. I chose the colors for the layout to match the colors my Godparents have in their house. And as you can see, 2 of the kiddos actually have on shirts that matches the papers, I plan ahead you see, LOL, no it is just a coincident, but a good one I think.

I used papers from UHK Gallery and Lemoncraft, the chipboard clock is from Scrapek (Anemone), and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts (WOC) and a local craft store. For the frames around the pictures I used the Regal Frame from Spellbinders, and I cut out 3 frames that I glued together for each picture, this way it got a little thicker and looked more like a piece of chipboard. I also used some Gesso toghether with the Rings and Puddles stencil from Memory Box. The letters are made with a die that came with an issue of Die Cutting Essentials. I cut out 2 of each letter and glued them together to get a bit more chipboard feeling to it. "Tiden flyver" means Time flies. And then I added part of cake doily and some half pearls here and there. I was very happy with the result, since I hadn't tried it before, and my Godparents were very happy with it as well.
