s'Hertogenbosch

We went to s'Hertogenbosch not so long ago, just for shopping. It was a day with typical dutch weather: grey with a little bit of rain, and at the end of the day a tiny bit of sun. But we had a lovely day and bought some nice things.
I give you a little peek at s'Hertogenbosch here.


And here the left side of this church.


And here a photo of my daughter and me made by my husband.


Fun, isn't it?!

Autumn Colors

Love to show you some amazing things I saw in Nature! Considering my blogheader you can imagine that I love to see and photograph toadstools.
I think this scene is a little mysterious, isn't it?!


And look at these little ones.


And this one is gorgeous too.


The colors are wonderful these days.


The light sometimes is so beautiful.


And see the shine on these toadstools!


Hope you enjoyed to see a glimpse of how the Netherlands look like these days.

World Card Making Day

Yesterday was World Card Making Day. I joined the fun and made a card just as so many others did all around the world.
You can read more about it here:
http://heroarts.com/blogs/club/
And here is my card.


Last friday I was so lucky to find a new paper pad by Basic Grey "Aspen Frost". I loved the paper right from the start when I first saw it. The striped paper at the left is from that paper pad. The snowflake is a die cut by Provo Craft for Cuttlebug. The small heart is also a die cut by Joy Crafts. The stamps used are by Hero Arts S5069 Stunning Snowflakes and the sentiment C3159 Sending Love. To make this card I followed a sketch given by Hero Arts on their blog.
Hope you like it!

Blog Header

This weeks Challenge of Cas-ual Fridays is to make a card inspired by your own Blog Header. ( CFC 72 Toot your own Horn)
So I thought, this card will be great for that!




I made it this week , using Hero Arts stamps.
And the finished card will be used in Church. Coming sunday every churchmember who like it can write his or her name on it, and than it will send to one of the elderly and ill people of our Churchcommunity.
This card has a big size , you can understand. And it has no greeting in English; the elderly can't read it , because I live in the Netherlands.
