Cards

Cards are not my speciality butfor  special occasions I gladly make an exception.
Last week our friend Katja celebrated her 40th birthday, she had a great party. She celebrated it in a playground because most people they know have little kids, a clown performed and we had great weather,great food and drinks for the adults. Kids had a blast, what more do you want..
Made this card:

A week ago Lizze was born the daughter of Maaike and Michiel, first time I made a newborn card. Funny thing was Etienne handed me a postcard with the image of the little dress( came with a magazine: At Home) and mentioned that maybe it was something for the card. Great thinking :)
Congrats on your beautiful daughter Maaike and Michiel!

Also made a few LO's a while ago.

Oog, Ojo, Eye
A page about the story of Etienne's eye, who got hit by a 'kaatsbal' on a weekend trip with his colleagues. Long story, but luckily his eye is almost back to normal, but for weeks he couldn't see normal.

2 Ontdeugende binkies
2 naughty boys, picture speaks for itself.
Not too satisfied with this LO, lack ofinspirations sucks...  But I do like the little wire leaves I made for the flower

Currently I'm busy with the Project 12 months sketches, I'm really behind, need to do june, july and august. And I need to make my LO for the DD sketch of next wednesday, so I need t get busy and get away from the PC.  ;)

Hugs,

Hieper de piep hoera!

Big congratulations to my big boy Etienne who's birthday is today and my biggest little boy Camiel  who's birthday was yesterday, he is 6 years already, his birth 6 years ago I remember it like it was last week. This was the invitation we sent for the part last saturday.

These weeks are really busy. Tomorrow we have the kidsparty for Camiel we go to Piratenland (indoor playground) in Gorinchem (hope the weather will be ok, no snow please!). And of course all the christmas celebrations. Thursday Camiel has christmasdiner on school in the evening.
I'm afraid I'm making my december daily in january, at least I have pictures :)

No scrapping things yet to show, this wednesday the new Dutch Dare sketch goes live and I managed to make a LO fot it during all the bussiness (proud of me ;) )

The eye of Etienne

First something about my new blogheader. I thought it was time for a change, the last was all about snow and spring has sprung now so no more snow. I made the header myself (you can see it in te childish drawings ;) ) What do you think?

Now the subject I wanted to blog about:
I told you that Etienne had to do an eyelidcorrection. I wanted to show (and record) the pictures of the before and after process (not during of course, don't think you want to see that and I wasn't around to take pictures ;) ).

This is the before picture, it's all about the right eye (left for the viewers). There was a big difference between the eyes, not huge, but it was really bothering him aspecially when he was tired. (I hope the correction helps a little bit against all the headaches he suffers from).
One day after the operation:
3 days after (huge black eye)
7 dats after (just before the stiches went out)
11 days after ( , no stichesI think it really looks good and almost no black eye anymore)
The surgeon was also satisfied, always nice to hear.

You look great honey!

Hugs Astrid
