On Sunday morning my mum had to teach workshops to children. Talking about poetry – mum and Ted worked together before and so they Erik van Os<\/a> and Kees Spiering<\/a> teaching the older children (teenagers)<\/p>\n Mum and Erik.<\/p>\n ..<\/p>\n SCRAPBOOKING FROM THE INSIDE OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n A while ago, I discovered Scrapbooking from the inside out<\/a> Last Month’s theme was “Femininity”. Although I haven’t got the kit, I played Here’s what I made for the April challenge #6 “Synonyms\/Word Cloud”<\/p>\n (you had to use words that relate to yourself and your femininity)<\/p>\n The background paper is Paper House Productions, and the photo shows Words: Free spirit, daughter, woman, sexy, paper junk, mum, artist, fair, I used a plain ..<\/p>\n WEEKLY ART JOURNAL<\/strong><\/p>\n I don’t think Bree<\/a> sent it I pulled it out of the ..<\/p>\n First, I taped pages together to make it stronger.<\/p>\n I used masking tape for it, and I could only find it in purple.. but hey, I kinda There’s a total of 36 (double) pages in it and those are the number of weeks I prepared the page for this week.

\nToday is queensday
\nin the Netherlands
\nand although the sun
\nisn’t shining, I will
\nspend the afternoon
\noutside trying to score
\nsome useful goodies
\non the giant flee market!<\/p>\n
\nwho have no idea
\nwhat “queensday”
\nin the Netherlands
\nis all about, and for
\nyou Dutchies who
\nwant to have a good
\nlaugh… you have to
\nhave a look at this<\/a>!!!!<\/p>\n
\nbursting with blossom.<\/p>\n

\nI’ll stick to a little bit of explanation and captions with the photo’s<\/p>\n

\n(I wrote about that on May 24)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nwe went for a little walk.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nMost of the writers know each other from previous events but they don’t meet
\nvery often. They were all happy to see each other again and the afternoon and
\nevening were filled with talk, laughter, good food and alcohol (LOTS of it!
\nMAN, those writers are serious DRINKERS!!!)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThere were ten writers (all famous for their children poems) who teaches
\nworkshops, and they worked in pairs. My mum<\/a> was linked to Ted van Lieshout<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nare well adapted to each other.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThis site provides a Monthly scrapkit for scrapbookers who want to “explore
\ntheir inner lives and deepest thoughts and dreams.”
\nEach kit has a theme (former themes were for example: Loss – Generosity –
\nPeace – Possibility – Passion – Nostalgia)
\nI don’t have the budget to buy these kits every Month but this concept spoke
\nto me right away and when I found out there is a DT-call going on, I submitted.
\nWaaahhhh, I would LOVE to be a part of this exceptional team so keep your
\nfingers crossed everyone…!!!<\/p>\n
\nalong with a challenge (there are challenges with each “theme” – and there’s
\na lot of talking and some nice girls on the community)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nI have quite
\na number of
\nAlpha templates
\nin my stash
\nand it was
\nfun to get

\nI highlighted
\nsome words

\nyou will remember
\nthis book…<\/p>\n
\nto me last
\nSeptember with
\na note in it
\nsaying:“this book
\nbelongs to my
\nfabulous friend
\nMarit. I hope
\nyou\u2019ll turn this
\ninto a magnificent
\nArt Journal\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\ncloset last week and
\nI have big plans with it!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nlike how it looked so I went on with it.<\/p>\n
\nleft in this year. I plan to make this my “weekly journal” and will write\/draw
\n(or whatever I feel like) “what happens in my life”\u00a0 in this book.
\nI used to keep diaries, but since I create otherwise I hardly write anymore.
\nIt’s about time I let the two meet… my creativeness in images AND words!
\nIn fact, that is the meaning of an art journal after all… so I’ll give it a try!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nbecause of queensday, I drew a little “queen”. I hope to fill this page with
\nmore text and drawings and images – but it’s a start!<\/p>\n
