\nI made this lay out for a challenge over at Scrapping out LOUD!
\nThis was their challenge: “This week we want you to work outside your comfort zone and create a LO using a colour you NEVER use!”<\/em><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n I hardly ever use bright colours, \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n And, after a week\u00a0which was filled with visiting\u00a0scrapbook stores,\u00a0testing my new stuff (spray ink…\u00a0YEAH!)\u00a0celebrating my DT spot and other kinds of excitement going on (like\u00a0weeding the garden, doing the laundry –\u00a0vacuuming the house\u00a0– after all,\u00a0the show must go\u00a0on)\u00a0I totally forgot to tell you that I also So what a week! I must have been one of the best in a loooooong time!<\/p>\n By the way: there’s a DT call going on over at Scrapping out LOUD!\u00a0 So all of you who want to design for a challenge blog: \u00a0<\/p>\n And on to yesterday: Mothers Day!

\nthe rainbow ones

\nhurt my eyes….
\nbut with this pics
\nof me and Lena
\nand the lollipops,
\nit certainly works great!
\nIt never will be my favourite lay out but it’s a funny one…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nDetail:
\n<\/strong>I coloured the border with water paint, letting the colours melt into each other.
\n(Like I did with the title –\u00a0I made that on the computer)
\nFelt embellishments in bright colours!<\/p>\n

\nWON THE MONTHLY PRIZE OVER AT SCRAPPING OUT LOUD!!!<\/p>\n
\nSOL\u00a0posts a\u00a0weekly challenge also providing a “Word of the Week” and a “Sketch of the Week” and some very nice ladies are running the blog, so if I were you, I’d go and check it out! I wanted to apply, but now that I am on the Lotus Paperie team\u00a0I\u00a0decided not to apply anywhere else…\u00a0
\nI’m a slow scrapper, and I don’t wanna commit myself to do too much in one week… I’m very critical and I know when I make a lay out in a hurry, because there’s a deadline, it never fits my standarts. I just need time to put it away, and look at it\/work on it again the next day. I also like to have time left to play
\n“just for myself” or participate in other challenges or Swaps sometime.\u00a0
\nMaybe in time, when I\u00a0am more\u00a0familiar with\u00a0participating in a design team
\nand know how much time it takes, I might go for a second DTcall,
\nbut not right now…<\/p>\n
\ngo and check out Scrapping out LOUD!<\/a> and give it a try –

\nMy son was with his dad last weekend, but I celebrated in my own way by creating this for MY MOTHER!!! (and having a lot of fun myself by\u00a0doing so!)
\nI sure hope mum’s got it in the mail by now – or\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0read this blog\u00a0before she’s got it, ’cause I’m going to publish the pics into this post now:<\/p>\n
\ndon’t look any further than this cover!!!)<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThis is the cover of the little folded card\/mini book
\nI made her.
\nIt’s hold together
\nby a velvet ribbon
\n(with a little magnet).<\/p>\n
\nThe ribbon covers\u00a0a word so the title reads: I ..(ribbon).. FROM YOU
\n(In Dutch it’s nicer, ’cause it says something like “I ..(ribbon).. YOU TOO” – some language tricks just can’t be translated properly…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nthe real title exposed:
\n“I LEARNED
\nFROM YOU…”<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe background paper is from an
\nold dictionary.
\nI marked the word
\n“Mother”…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
