Place Rahba Kedima

The past weeks we've had some extra days off and although I was planning on getting some crafting done a nasty bug came across so I spent most of my days in bed, not having the energy to do anything at all.. But, last friday I started to feel like crafting again, so I did :-) 

Here's a page I made about our trip to Marrakech (Morocco) in 2011. Other tourists were so kind to make pictures of the two of us.. I think this is about the only picture where we are together. I like the business of it, all the different colors..

For scrapping the pictures of this holiday I'm using papers of the Basic Grey Marrakech line from a few years back :-) Thought it was so appropriate..

supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper), patterned papers (Basic Grey Marrakech line: Mandarin Slice, Palace Blue and Chai), buttons (orange button and map button by My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart "Be Amazing" Button card and striped button by American Crafts Dear Lizzy), letter stickers (Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type).

For this page I used a sketch from the Signature Series from the awesome Kelly Purkey. I designed my own frames (except for the one in vellum) for this layout. Love that personal touch! I'm actually quite happy with how this layout turned out!

Can't wait to hear what you think!

Love, Dee

Ps: sorry for the dark pictures, the weather hasn't been that great...

Island Car!

A couple of years ago I went abroad to Curaçao (Dutch Antilles) for an internship at a local lawfirm. I had the best time enjoying the sun and beautiful beaches. While I was there I was able to rent a car from one of my collegues. It was a typical Island car; no windows, open back, big wheels for off-roading ;-) So much fun!

For this layout I did something a little different from what I normally do:-) I used my Mr. Huey's as paint on plain cardstock to design my own background paper :-) Furthermore I used a fun resist technique I saw in one of Elizabeth Kartchner's In the Mood to scrap video's over at 2peas :-) (with the get it girl stamp)

Kechmara

Usually I don't really participate in challenges. Not because I don't like them, but because my scrappy time is very limited, so deadlines don't really work for me. Two weeks ago I had a day off and took some time to scrap. Unfortunately I got stuck on the layout and didn't know how to continue. So I let the unfinished layout lie on my desk and every now and then I pushed the paper and pictures around a bit.. But I couldn't really get it to work.. Until I saw the Sunday Sketch at Studio Calico.. I knew immediately this was the solution to my problem :-) And I like how it turned out..

I mostly used papers from the Basic Grey Marrakech line and my Silhouette machine:-)

This layout is about me and my love during our trip to Marrakech in 2011. We went for a walk through the modern part of the city and had some delicious sweets at the café/restaurant Kechmara in the rue de la liberté. Gotta love macarons!
