Wie had gedacht toen we, als design team van het wijlen Memory Lane Scrapbooking, een dare blog begonnen in 2006 dat we nu zoveel jaar laten nog steeds mensen inspireren met onze dares.
I have no clue if there is anyone still reading my blog (leave me a comment if u do ) since I've been slacking in the blogdept bigtime .... ???
I blame facebook, goodreads & pinterest, it's so easy to keep everyone updated with my life through short bursts of info and/or pics there that I forget to update here ....
So there's a big gap between june and november which I will try to update over the next week !
Until then I leave you with my most current layout for the dutch dare of this month, a Q&A that was a lot of fun to work with !
If you like to scrap, please join our dare and show us your work. Who knows you might win a guest dt spot or a fab RAK !
I'm making a mini album about my childhood, just scrapping some feelings, memories and sometimes that's just as healing as therapy. This is my second page and I think it's funny that I even dared to put this feeling to paper, but it makes me laugh and it's real !
This page was for the sketch dare over at our dutch dares, for some inspiration come check out the great pages the team made !
This is another page I made a while back but forgot to share, hope you like it, photo's are from a photo shoot from last year (Corinne Delis).
Oh and I also helped my mom make some new cupcakes, but you can find those at my other blog ;)
More scrapping going on, really happy about my breakdance LO ! All made for the dutch dares blog, some schetches some dares, if you're into scrapping check us out for lots of inspiration ....
My scraproom is not finished by a long shot but I've finally started scrapping again, but it's a slow proces as I'm having a hard time getting into the groove of it but I'm sure it will come easily again.
This sketch was for the dutch dares, check it out and join in if you like as there is a prize involved and you have a chance to be a guestdesigner too.
Yes I still do ! Inbetween alle the purging & decluttering I'm starting to get the itch to scrap again so I haven't missed a project for the blog.
Above the current dutch dare (not totally happy about this one, liking some elements and others not so much, any tips are appreciated !)Check out what the other girls did here ...
Below the dutch dare before that, the dare was "sport" totally happy with this one !
I loved working on this new sketch that Kirs made, finally some inspiration for the baseball pics of Michael. Loved how it turned out, in one evening no less and I'm a happy camper (oh and so was Michael when he saw what I was working on).
Check out the what the other dt members made here and get inspired & join in !
I get inspired a lot, and when I say a lot i mean A LOT ! Through bloglines i am connected to so many, many fun blogs that I get overinspired and save a lot of fun ideas but don't get around to actually doing something with it.
So when our latest ducht dare came around, which we changed last minute so we could pay tribute to an inspirational blog One Little Word that closed down, I had to use one of my saved ideas.
This cute little quote was found on the blog of Vicki Chrisman and she made the cutest canvas of it which I scraplifted and made my own. I'm loving it and want to make more little canvasses with inspiring quotes on it for my home. Check out what the rest of the girls made here, hope we inspire you !
Did you know that not only little girls like nailpolish ? I made this LO for the latest sketch on the MLS blog. Check out what the rest of the girls made here and we'd love for you to join in, use our sketch and share it with us !
or getting the scrapping groove back as you wish....
Just like baking cupcakes but unfortunately I don't have enough energy for that (which should come back into my life in august orso according to the doc). I really needed to relax, had a bit of a rough week to do with my volunteer work and I decided had to stick up for myself to a few people and although it was quite hard (it's just not who I am really, conflict is something I try to avoid like a headache in my work even if it is volunteering LOL).
So after getting over the initial uncomfortable feeling of the whole situation I decided I really needed to do something to help me relax and scrapping does just that. Not my best work, and I still have to figure out where & when this was taken (hope mom can help me out since she has the original) but it felt pretty damn good !
First of all, something for someone who has a fun blog, is a cupcake & scrapbook lover like me and makes the most fun jump pic's in the world ;
crowdSPRING, hire Kelly Purkey for your new Community Marketing Manager!
Second thanks everyone for your good health wishes, it took me 2,5 weeks but finally I'm kicking this bug in the BU... unfortunately DH is ill now ...
Third, our DT getaway was so much fun. Didn't have much of an appetite so we had way too much food but it was great fun. Got some scrapping done, back in the mood for it, good conversations and lots of laughs always good for the soul !
Fourth, did you see the sketches the girls made on the MLS blog, very cool. I love them all except mine. Oh well that happens a lot ...
Fifth, I've lost a total of 3,5 kilos since the flu started so I'm back on my old weight from before my car vs. knee accident. Very happy about this ! and I'm aiming for another 3 kilo loss before the new year, I'm starting to feel better every day getting back to my old self.
Sixth, I'm set tommorow to get creative for Xmas with the boys and make about 6 orso overdue raks ...
Seventh, so whadaya think of my new banner, my DH made it for me. He's the best (better in photoshop than me that's for sure !) !
That's all for now, hope you have fun creative plans too, thanks for checking in !

Really I do and here are 2 layouts to prove it :D
First one is for the Dutch Dare, about your fave yummy recipe, check out what the other girls did over here and you really should, total eyecandy in all styles you can imagine !
Most of you probably know what klaasbrokken are, they are a recipe from supermommy Francine shared on her blog and they have been a big hit in our household ever since....
And the second one just for fun, clean and simple about Michael meeting Colin. I really didn't think any journaling was necessary, the pic says it all ;)
A layout I made from Evi's sketch posted on the MLS Blog today, you should definately check out what the other girls did here. I'm loving this layout I made with one of my alltime fave pics of Jo-Anne, I guess you're allowed to be really happy when you think you've made a fab one right ;)
Our new Dutch Dare is up and it's all about "Crazy" and being so into something. Since the boys are pretty crazy about watching tv I have a lo about that, I cheated a bit as I've been working on this lo for a while (nov. '07 - june '08 .....) but couldn't finish it for some mojo reason and when the dare was thought up I immediatly thought this one would be perfect for it and finally finished it ;
I'm back, been pretty ill very bad case of the stomach flu :( and lot's of stuff going on I will share soon BUT I'm only making a quickie post to share this LO for the current Dutch Dare we're @ #41 already.... it's all about dutch weather.
In a record time I might add :D You all know I'm a very slow scrapper, but I had it going on yesterday and finished a lo in 2 hours ... I only had the printer holding me back but finished it with a dummy photo and got that sorted this morning. I think it's so cute !
So that was my take on the Dutch Dare of today, all about dutch games, you can check out what the other girls did here.
Oh and I also made a quick card from Nancy's instructions, she rocks her cards and her tutorials are so fun to try. Thanks girl ! I had a bit of a deadline so it's not quite the same as her card, but close enough (there is bling on the tag but it blew over).
I forgot to show this lo here and only posted it on sistv .... I made it last month @ the sis crop and used my new 2nd hand typewriter that I bought on queensday.
