Too much to handle!

I decided to make an “in between post” today.
I normally post on Mondays or Tuesdays and Fridays, but this week
I have been out of control creating so I decided to publish some of the work
in between otherwise it would be too much to handle for you on Friday!

There are things I made last week – and even the week before – that have to
stay “secret” some more – I will show you those later – but here are the things
that I did just for me and there’s no secret about it…!

Freewheelin’ Friday (#21)

I buy a lot of my scrap supplies in the “Artist Store”.
It is not a scrapbook store – they don’t have Tim Holtz ink and 12 x 12 paper
(they do sell Copic markers though!) but since I’m more into art journaling
I come there often to get me plain paper, permanent markers and so on.
Do you know the smell of an artist store…??? Hmmmm!!!

Long time ago, that store provided me with a “savings card” and every time
I bought something, they wrote the amount on my card.

Feel it coming?
Yep! Last week,
my card was full!!!!

That meant that they
calculate 15 % of the
total amount on my
card, and I could
“free shop” for that!
YEAY!!!

I’ve been glancing
at this box with
oil pastels for
a while and now
I went for it!
I even had money left
to buy permanent
markers and
aquarelle paper!

Now THAT’S a fun way of shopping!!!

Spending time
in the color room…

Last week, I received an e-mail with an invitation to join a new scrapbooking
(challenge) community. It’s called “The Color Room” and after I checked it out
and lurked for a while, I joined in. I found a lot of my online friends did too,
so I felt right at home! Here’s what “the color room” says:

“Do you want a new challenge?
Something to whet your creative appetite?
This is just the place.
Here in the Color Room we strive to push your creativity through
new inspiring colour palettes, sketches and tutorials.”

Check it out here if you’re in for new (colour palette) challenges!


I never played
challenges like this
before – palettes
I mean, so it was
quite a challenge
for me! (The sketch
that comes with the
palette is optional)

These colours are
“sweet & girly” and
that’s so NOT me…
but I like to push
myself a bit so I
decided to accept
the challenge and
went on with it.

I pushed myself even harder by making a 12×12 layout
(I don’t do much of those lately)

Freewheelin’ Friday (#16)

“Uprising” – do you know that song?
My son is a huge fan of the band “Muse” and he’s going to see them live
in Nijmegen this summer…

When I went with my son to a school event recently  (there was music,
plays and speeches – the theme was “seven sins”) the evening started with
a “big opening” in which this song was played.
The way the “actors” played on this song gave me shivers down my spine.
