The last queensday!

Today is a special day in my little country. Today is our last queensday. This morning our Queen Beatrix of Orange abdicated. Her son is now our new king. It's a very special day which will be spent in front of the television for a large part and where everyone will wear orange and eat 'oranje tompoucen' (orange millefeuilles). It's a historical day.

Project Life 2012 recap

So that's it... Project Life 2012 is done.. Took me about a year and a half:-) I absolutely loved to do this project. I loved figuring out new ways to arrange and embellish my pictures, loved figuring ways to document just ordinary every day memories.

But it wouldn't be fair to say it was all good, because it wasn't. The time I have to scrap is limited and man did this project take a lot of time. I spent holidays just working through weeks and weeks I was behind on. And although it was relaxing and I didn't rush myself (obviously;-)), it started annoy me that I didn't have any time left to do any other projects and I have to admit that towards the end I just wasn't feeling it anymore.. But that's allright.. It doesn't bother me :-) Au contraire... I love to look back at it, even though the adventures I documented are not that long ago. Even now I love to see it, so imagine how it will be in a few years from now...

I'm glad I did it... Maybe just maybe I'll do this project again.. Some day when our life is different from the way it is now.. but I'll pass for this year ;-)

Love, Dee

This is me!

I'm taking part in Studio Calico's This is me class taught by Lexi Bridges, accompanied by loads of great contributors such as Jennifer Pebbles, Nicole Harper and Leena Loh. I really can't get over how awesome this class is and after months of Project Life I was ready to take on something new. This class is perfect for it!

What I really love about this class is that everyone is able to fill it in how they like. Some may make a mini album, while others go for regular layouts. Some may use it to document their current life, while others choose a life biography type of project. 

I took the opportunity to document my twenties with this album. In these years a lot changes and very rapidly at that :-) I like to have an album to look back on and remember what it was like. Since I'm not yet 30 this will be a project I'll continue to work on. I hope you'll follow me on this journey!

And you know what's awesome about this class too? The amazing class kit!

To accompany this amazing stuff I chose several different products. I picked a Studio Calico Handbook, lots of stuff from the Studio Calico Sundrifter line, some Sew easy stuff from We R Memorykeepers, glitter tape from American Crafts, letter stickers from October Afternoon, several different Mr. Huey's colors and some more bits and pieces:

Tonight I started decorating my handbook:

Can't wait to show you guys a lot more as I'm making progress with this new project! Get back soon!

Have a great weekend!

Love, Dee

PL weeks 34 and 35 (of 2012)

Can you handle some more PL pages? Prepare for some PL-heavy blog posts the upcoming weeks, because I'm working towards the end of 2012 and of course I'll show you each finished week!

Here are weeks 34 and 35:

Week 34 was a one pager. My fav card is the kraft one with all the hearts.. With the sweet pic of my baby and his little nephew :-)

Week 35, two pages. My favorite card is the one with the washi feathers. I saw this idea on IG and had to try it out! Like the end result and will def make some of those again for a regular layout :-)

Thanks for looking! What do you think?
