Scrapbooking, Tulip Tradition

SaskiaPillow1
 
I know I've been a bit MIA lately.  We found a house!  We close on April  23 and I can't wait.  In the mean time we had to move into a townhouse.  During the move the box with all the internet stuff and cable stuff and dvd player and wires and things got lost.  I think it is in the very back of the tandem garage of the townhouse.  It's packed full and there is no way to get to the back.  Since we are only in this place for a few weeks we are not going to unpack anything so no internet it is!   
 
 Anyways, I wanted to share this page I made for the Memory Nest's kit Pillow Patterns when I should have been packing instead.  I wanted to get it up a few days ago, but the move and lack of internet made it a bit difficult.  Back to the kit, I just love the warm hues of all the pages. It is even inspiring me on how I want to paint my daughter's room...hehehe.  The warm hues make me think of spring and I had to scrap photos of one of my favorite places, the tulip fields!  In the next week or two we will go back to see them so I'll get some great shots of my little guy and the flowers.  I can't wait!

I made the background of the page by tracing the photo viewer frame that was in the kit.  I then colored it in with gelatos.  I wanted to do water colors, but they had already been packed up in one of the 14 boxes of "Saskia's Scrapbooking Stuff."  I also used some white paint to make the random hexagons.  The title was made by sewing the letters with the twine that came in the kit as well as the scrabble letter stickers.  The one photo frame came in the kit while the other one I had cut with some good old scissors using the orange polk-a-dot paper.

Fish Finger Glove Puppet

I just love being back east and being with all of my family for Christmas, but I don't like the travel and I really don't like the germs.  We managed to bring back with us some lovely east coast germs.  Little Moose took it the hardest and still is a little bit sick.  Anyways, I finally got the chance to get back onto my computer and I just have to share with you what my sister-in-law made for us.  There are a bunch so I'll share one every day this week! I love the bright colors of the fishes!  Each glove puppet came with a poem.  They are just to cute!

Scrapbooking, Adore

    Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them.  I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love.  This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus.  I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy.  I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page.  It really is a random page for a random photo.     This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration.  I felt that they would make a fun background.  At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk.  I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol.  I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use.  At first, I was going to just paint the fram...

Valentine's Day Wreath

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own.  So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!
