In the tropics by LDrag Designs

It has been quiet around LDrag Designs lately, and I have missed her goodies. Thankfully Lina is back in business again. Today she released her new tropical kit "In the tropics".

Ray of Sunshine by Cluster Queen Creations

Some heavy stuff from Cluster Queen Creations this weekend. All days are not filled with sunshine, as we all know. "Ray of Sunshine" is the perfect kit to scrap those days. I have had my share of such days. So glad she created this kit.

Beachy Keen by Studio Flergs and Eva Kipler

Friday is my favourite day of the week. It's the first day of the weekend, which means two whole days off work. Yeah! It sounds like I hate my job, but I don't. I really like my job, but it is good to get some time off. It's quite hectic at work. During the weekend I get to spend more time with my family. Friday is also my big scrapping evening, althought I might not scrap at all. I love it when all the digi scrapping stores release their new goodies.

Have a look at Flergs awesome new collab with Eva Kipler "Beachy Keen". I sure had some fun scrapping with this huge collection.

Cluster & Colors: Morning Coffee by Tinci Designs

If we only could have more days like this! Sun, blue sky, hot weather, strawberries, cherries and a good book to read. I am walking barefoot wearing my summer dress. Everything is just perfect! My toe nails need some new nail polish. I know I should be doing something, but I don't care. It's vacation and I am simply going to enjoy this day and relax in the sun reading my book.

Tinci's templates works so well with Krystal's kits. I created another page, and it came together really fast. It was like it was meant to be.

Cluster & Colors: Flower Meadow by Tinci Designs

Krystal Hartley has been one of my favourite designers for a long time. I love her style and I buy most of her stuff. Unfortunately I rarely scrap with all the goodies that I buy. The designers I create for keep me quite busy. I wouldn't have it any other way, I love my designers. Otherwise I wouldn't scrap for them. Sometimes I wish I was a faster scrapper thou, but I am rather slow. Not much to do about that. So many pages I would love to create. This kit has been speaking to me like for ever. I am so glad that I finally got to use it, with one of Tinci's gorgeous templates. You know, I am a template girl and I wouldn't know how to scap without.

Heart of America by Cluster Queen Creations & Amy Stoffel

The rain is still pouring down. Hope it's not going to do that all week. Although I love scrapping, there are other things I would love to do during my vacation. Things that need to be done and things I would like to do.

This page has been resting on my computer for a while now, almost done, but waiting for the final touch. It was good to finally get it done and I really like the result.

Cleared for takeoff by Julie Billingsley and Libby Pritchett

Two "me" pages in one single day. I can't believe that I actually did that. But I have to say, Julie's new collab is fabulous. If I wasn't already on her team, I certainly would have bought this kit.

Find your joy by Jady Day Studio

The rain is pouring down. It is such a great start of my vacation. Just what I needed! Not! It was not what I hoped for, but it is such a great opportunity to do something I love. I can scrap all day long. Try to catch up on my CT duties. I have fallen behind lately. Life has been too busy.

Jady Day Studio released her new kit "Find your joy" this weekend. Her kits are always such a pleasure to play with. Although I really dislike those "me" pages, sometimes it needs to be done. This page was actually featured in Darcy Baldwin's newsletter. It felt really good.

A Boys Life by Studio Flergs

Usually I create girly pages, but I couldn't help myself when Flergs released this boyish kit. Then I just knew I had to play with it. The elements are so fun and I love the big bold background paper.

Gimme Layers Vol. 32 by Cluster Queen Creations


The calendar shows the end of July already. How did that happen? Summer is almost over before it even started. It feels like that. I spent the first week of July in a cabin by the sea with my girls. It was good to get away from home, although the weather could have been better. We got a couple of days with sun thou, so I managed to burn my skin. Red is also a nice skin colour. It was hard to go back to work. If I had known how busy it was going to be at work, I'd rather not have gone at all. For the following two weeks I did nothing else but to work and sleep. When I say nothing, I mean nothing. It was quite stressful and I was so ready for vacation when those two weeks finally was over. I doubt that I could have worked just one more day. It feels like I need two months of vacation at least.

Lately I haven't been scrapping as much as I usually do. But I have created some pages. I need my scrapping time. It's therapy for my soul. I will show you some of my latest pages.

Oh my, the terrible twos by Jady Day Studio

So glad the Weekend is finally here. It has been such a looong week. Probably because my vacation starts today. Well, I call it a break because I only have one week of vacation now and then I need to go back to work for a couple of weeks before my main vacation starts. I really dislike to split my vacation. Those weeks are going to be much looonger...Well, I am going to enjoy this week of vacation. The girls and I are going to spend the week in a cottage by the sea. Hopefully I will take a lot of photos. The weather forecast isn't the best, but I am sure we will get a fabulous week anyway.

Yari's new kit "Oh my, the terrible twos" is such a fun and unique kit. It is totally irresistible. I really love the page I created with this kit. I know I say this a lot, but I really do. It is so sad that I didn't write down all the creative stuff my toodlers did at the time. Now I have forgotten so much of it. Oh well, it might be a good thing that I have forgotten most of it.

Shabby Family kit by Studio Rosey Posey

It has been a while since I created something with Studio Roesy Posey's design. When she released "Shabby Family kit" I knew I had to get my  hands on it. It spoke to me.  It was a pleasure to work with the kit.

Ignite the night by Julie Billingsley

I love all the 4th of July kits poping up in the stores all over digiland these days. I have to admit that I have a crush on them and that I have bought a lot of these kits. Simply can't resist them. I sure would have bought Julie Billingsley "Ignite the night" if I wasn't on her creative team.

Gimme Layers Vol. 31 by Cluster Queen Creations

While my memories are still fresh, I scrapped a second page about my trip to Rome. I used one of Cluster Queen Creations new templates "Gimme Layers Vol. 31". It came as a pleasant surprise when my page was featured at KCB's blog!

Mid-Summer Day Dream by Jady Day Studio

June is almost over and I am so ready for vacation. One more week at work before my vacation starts. It is going to be a looong week. I am so ready for vacation. So many things I want to do. Hopefully the rain will stop before my vacation starts.

Jady Day Studio released a "Mid-Summer Day Dream" this weekend. I plan to take lots of photos during the summer so I can scrap more pages with this gorgeous kit.

Dad, you're my hero by Jady Day Studio and Meghan Mullens

While I was in Rome, Jady Day Studio and Meghan Mullens released a fabulous Father's Day kit "Dad, you're my hero". I created a page totally off the theme, but I wanted to scrap a page about Rome and the kit worked so well for that purpose.

Cluster Queen Creations released Gimme Layers's Vol. 26 at ScrapMatters this weekend. I have created several pages with this template pack. I love the big photos.

Studio Mix 24: Summer Magic by Studiogirls

Can you tell that I am ready for Summer? I totally am. Three more weeks and then my vacation starts. I just couldn't wait that long, so I spent the weekend in Rome. Yes I did. In Rome it was hot! I loved every minute of it. Well, not all the waiting... Rome is such a fantastic city. I sure am going back some day for a second visit. A weekend is not enough. It was awesome to sit in the breakfast restaurant on top of the hotel roof eating breakfast while looking at the city from above. We even saw the St. Peter's Church from where we sat. It was only 10 minutes of walking from our hotel. 

Flergs and a couple of other designers from The Scrapbookgraphics released a collection called "Summer Magic" this week. It sure is magic. I totally love my page with this kit. And I sure am going to create more pages with this kit.
