This week I was busy with Tilda paper again. But this time another line which is calles "Classic".
Different tones of pink with black and grey. Very beautiful! I had to think of the old days when rich ladies had a boudoir. So, what I have made is related to that idea.

Last saturday I went to a workshopday cardmaking in Papendrecht. I learnt some new techniques and used some materials I never used before. And besides that we had a lot of fun! This is one of the cards we made. Not my own design! Don't know were the stamp is from, sorry! But it was so much fun making it because of the panel, wich is made with alcohol inks. And the wings of the dragonfly are of acetate. I love it so thats why I want to share it with you! Thanks for looking!

August was incredible wet in the Netherlands. Last sunday we needed to switch on the light at the middle of the day because it was so dark!! You can understand that I need to focus on some happy, sunny moments! And this was such a moment. I took this picture just at the right moment. Isn't it beautiful?

Today I want to show you a card I made with "Tilda" paper and a "Magnolia" stamp.

You can see more of' "Tilda" here: www.tilda.no And here is another site were you can buy the "Tilda" products www.pandurohobby.com "Magnolia" products are to be seen here: www.magnolia.nu And the words are by Hero Arts: www.heroarts.com The little metal rose I bought at Xenos. I colored the image with Derwent Colorsoft Pencils.

Recently I got the opportunity to go to Zutphen with my husband. Zutphen is an old city along the river IJssel. Here are some pictures I took there.

Today I have to tell something really nice! Here in our village we have a store wich sells beautiful fabric for quilting. But recently they also sell some paper. When I bought that paper the lady of the store asked me if I want to make something of it for the store. Wich I did of course.I felt very honoured about it. And this is what I made. The paper is "Tilda"paper. You can find it here : www.tildasworld.com
And the stamps are by Hero Arts.
I enjoyed using the paper. It feels great when working with it. The sheets have two different sides. And all sheets of one line really coördinate well together.
The lady of the store accepted the things I made, and thats why I am very happy today!

Altough we loved France when we were there for vacation, we must say that we have some interesting and lovely places in our own country. For example Delft. We went there last week. We visited museum the "Prinsenhof" wich tells interesting things of the history of our royal family. After that we found this fun chair in the garden near the museum. Delft is wellknown by its Delfts blue pottery. This chair is a fine example of it.

And here is our son standing in a pair of giant wooden shoes. You can find them in the center of the city.

And this is a part of the "Prinsenhof "with a tower of a church behind it.In Delft you find a lot of old houses with those beautiful facades. You have to look up for it. And also you can find a lot of stores where you can buy Delfts blue pottery.
