I went shopping today.....

I went shopping today. With my mother in law we went to the centre of the city we live in. I bought some new clothes and for some reason (I don't know why, lol) I chose something with a print in the style of Berna Datema's scrap kits! For this layout I used her kit Kitchgarden Retro Veranda and the background paper is from the kit Painting Angel. I also used elements from Early Blooms. It's all available at Scrapbookgraphics.com.

For this layout I used the kit A Hint of Vintage by Veronica Spriggs. I combined it with her alpha from the kit Chasing Time. The Textin' Template 15 by Veronica was the base for this layout. I love the curls on the bottom and the oval shape of the photo.

Me with my accordeon layout with Chasing Time by Veronica Spriggs

This is me with my accordeon playing for the grandmother of my husband. Her birthday was on January 1th. I didn't play for at least 20 years until 2 years ago. But since 2 years ago I haven't played either. So I'm a bit rusty. But since this birthday I try to play half an hour every day and it's getting better and better.
The kit Chasing Time by Veronica Spriggs was the perfect choice for these photos. The colors combine perfectly! The kit (and add-on) is available at Digiscrap Boutique and Pickleberry Pop.

Happy 2009 layout with Chasing Time by Veronica Spriggs

I made this Happy 2009 layout with the kit Chasing Time by Veronica Spriggs at Digiscrap Boutique and Pickleberry Pop. The clock is just great with the firework photo from, how we call it, Old & New. I made this photo through the window, because I'm a bit afraid of it.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

I'm very happy 2008 is over, it was a terrible year for us. I really hope 2009 will be much better and that Manfred will recover from his injuries.
We had a quiet evening, but the end of it was not fun. Some of our neighbours where putting their firework trash on fire very very close to our garage. And the wind was blowing in that direction. I asked them to stop it and as they didn't want to, then to do it some meters aside, but they were laughing about it. Probably they were drunk. So we couldn't get to bed before that fire was out. We were a bit afraid that the garage would get on fire with our car and motorbike in it.

I hope everyone has a great 2009 with lots of creative inspiration!
