One boy, a thousand feelings

After a break of a year I am back with a layout for More than words and Dusty Attic.

On August 11, 2017, I gave birth to our son. On this date I will always be grateful that he came into the world. With this photo I take the theme of this month literally.

On this picture I give him breastfeeding and I think that's something to celebrate.

breastfeeding is not self-evident. It takes a lot of time, energy and patience from the mother.

I am very proud to have given my son 8 weeks of my best. I am very grateful for the beautiful moments.

My layout is also inspired by the mood board of Dusty Attic.

Below you will find close up photos and the mood boards.

Layout: A fairy tale

First of all  the best wishes for 2017. It's a while since I've created something, but a new year with new challenges.

 

 

I was inspired by the Januari challenge of More than words to use this picture. This photo was taken on December 28, 2016; the birthday of my daughter. And a birthday should be celebrated with lots of presents.

I used gold glitter embossing powder and I have added more bling bling.

 

 

 

I am also inspired by the sketch of the Januari challenge of Dusty attic. For this layout I used the Swirly Frame.

 

 

This layout I used straws. Therefore, this layout suits the them of the challenge from Scrapki Wyzwaniowo

 

 

I would like to join this layout with these three challenges.

 

Here are cose-up pictures:

mixed media canvas: choose your own path

Here is my canvas based on the mood board from berry71bleu.

Fantasy is a world to me that nothing is what it seems. You can create your own world. You can be who you want to be. 

I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones . This serie has a lot of influences from the Middle Ages , I love the Middle Ages. But this serie is exceptional by his storylines and characters who choose their own path to the thrones and become a king or queen. And also for this serie goes, nothing is what it seems.

I made a sort of coat of arms in gold  to give my canvas a royal and Middle Ages touch. You see on my canvas serval wings. With these wings I can choose who I want to be.

Here are more close up pictures and the mood board.

Layout 'Imagine, choose to shine'

Here is my layout 'Imagine, choose to shine'.

I was asked to be a guest designer at scrapki-wyzwaniowo . I feel very honored to show my creation for such a large audience, A dream came true.

The theme of this month is 'horoscope'. I have nothing with predictions, so I made a word web for myself in orde to get inspiration for my layout. I came out with stars and the universe.

Therefore my layout should represent the universe. in the middle of my life, my universe, is the largest and brightest star; my daughter. Despite her difficult start, she choose to shine everyday and I'm so proud of her. I can only imagine en hope that she stays a bright spot in the lives of others.

I want to participate with this layout to the challenge of more than words.


Here are some close up pictures.

 

layout 'Beautiful little princess'

Here is my new layout 'beautiful little princess'

I made this layout in response to the challenge of 7 dots with the theme 'gardening'. I thought of the beautiful colors and scents of the flowers. I had to think of my lovely daughter when she is playing in the backyard. I enjoy when she explore the garden, except when she eats the sand ;P .

my daughter's name means spring, and she is to me a beautiful flower that opens every day with all her colors. I love my daughter dearly, therefor I want to enter this layout also for the challenge of scrapki-wyzwaniowo.

the colors of this layout are based on the color palette from words & paintery.

Layout 'Little moments captured'

 

 

I have created this layout on the lovely mood board from Dusty Attic. I love the combination of the colors.

 

Flowers can't missing on my layout so therefor I would like to participate with the challenge from Cards and Scrap  . The theme for this month was flower power.

 

I would like to enter this layout also for More than Words. The word for this month was escape. On this picture you see my husband and daughter having a moment together and they forget evertything around them. They escape in the moment.

On the leftside of the mood photo you see the colors from my layout.

 

The stencil and  embellishment on this layout are comming from hobbyshop Sandra.

Layout 'You & Me'

 

Here is my new layout inspired by the mood board from Words en Paintery and Berry71Bleu.

 

When I saw the blossom on the tree in the mood board from Berry71Bleu, I knew immediately that I wanted to use the stencil , designed by Sandra Koekoek.

 

                 These soft colors, the butterfly and the beautiful flowers give me a spring feeling.

       The Dutch word for spring is lente. My Daughters name is aslo Lenthe , you just write her name differently .Therefore a picture of my daughter can not be missed on this layout.

layout 'A dream is a wish your heart makes'

 

Here is my layout for berry71blue february 2016 challenge  and for scrap the girls february 2016 challenge.  I love the combination of black and gold from both mood boards . That's why I want to enter this layout for both challenges.

 

On this picture I was 25 weeks pregnant with my daughter . With this pregnancy , a dream came true. (That's why I love my title) I had no idea that five weeks later my dream would collapse. There was something wrong with my little girl. An uncertain time came. But my daughter has recovered well after surgery.

 

 I'm so lucky to have her!
