Hiep hiep hoera

Gefeliciteerd lieve grote kleine jongen!

Camiel is al weer 7 jaar geworden, hij stond zich vanmorgen om 6 uur al aan te kleden, benieuwd naar zijn cadeaus en hij wilde graag snel naar school om te trakteren.  :)

PS ik zal snel mijn laatse DD pagina's opladen (als ik tijd heb, het is erg druk... )

Dutch Dare #86 Q&A

The new Dutch Dare is all about getting to know the DD girls better.
Petra made a list with 15 questions that we used on our LO.

And this is my LO (the list is in dutch, sorry for the non-dutchies, let me now if you want an translation :))
I used this SC paper with all the lines as in inspiration.

Come over and join us and scrap about yourself! Something most of us don't do often, now is the time!!



Tomorrow I will update with more December Daily pages.

Hugs,
Astrid

DD - Day 3

Today we celebrated Sinterklaas at our house together with my parents. Our neighbourgh who was working on his car in from of the house, opted to knock our door so the kids could find the sack with presents, he was almost to slow with running away ;)  But luckily Etienne saw 2 Zwarte Pieten outside (who were leaving from a party another neighbourg in our street), and they saved the day ;)

The boys were spoiled, Camiel loved the special Stabilo pen the most  :) He also got a LEGO cars 2, zeeslag game, a build a house box, a smurfen book, a hotwheels addon box and a box to make magnets.

Tristan loved his HotWheels shark track, but also his book about a litlle bear and his mommy. He also got something of LEGO cars, a BOBO friendbook, playdough set, a game (kind of Jenga) and big ironbeads.  To make it short they were spoiled :)

Tomorrow  they have the last Sinterklaas celebrations, Camiel on school and BSO (daycare after school) and Tristan on daycare, in between I have to work so it's a busy day. And then I'm glad that is over ;)  And next week we start with the  birthday celebrations, hooray for december :) But I have lots to document about in my DD :D

But what I wanted to show is day 3 page of my DD:
We made a cute selfportrait, great starting point to write about how december is all about family.

The page on its own

Page with the the number overlay on top

 And the number overlay flipped so you can see the number,

the coasters were included in the kit. 

You can see the day 4 number page peek through at the right side

Thanks for passing by.

DD day2

And here is my second page for the december daily.

I wanted t document the 'Sinterklaas' celebrations we had last week at my workplace. So not a picture that was made on this day exactly.

with the number page

The print with the words: december was a digital sheet of Ali Edwards which we got on the SCboard (esclusive board wasincluded with the kit)
I embossed the 2 with red ZING powder, I cut the 'Zwarte Piet' from a chocolate letter (typical dutch Sinterklaas treat) package.

December Daily day 1

ETA: I update the pics with better ones in daylight :)
 
Yes it's that time again, december.  Time for another december daily, after looking through DD of last year and seeing the SC/Ali Edwards kit I decided to do another round. Hope I can keep up in this really busy month (Sinterklaas, 2 birthdays, parties, christmas celebrations, work and so on...)  But that also means I have lots to document.

Unfortunately the AC binder wasn't included in my kit :(  I hope to get it soon...SO I had to make my basepages without the page protectors.

Here are the first (title) pages . (I made this pictures with lamp light, I will made new ones in daylights soon. I copied the pocket idea of Ali.

 the pockets

 The title page, I sprayed the paper with cream mister Huey and after that glitter spray

And this is my day 1 page: I made a picture of the boys opening the first door of the Playmobil Advent calender.
For every day I also have made an in between page of paper or overlay with the number of the day like Ali.

I also made day 2, but no pic yet. So I'm totally up to date :)

2 boys + almost 7

Last week I finally found scrapmood back, guess I just was too tired to scrap in the evening after work. The little men has been waking us up several times a night for the last weeks/months. He don't want to stay in his own bed, pfff tiresome.

But the good news is I made 2 LO's.

2 Boys in my life. Love the sunlight (and my boys ;) ) in this picture. A bit simple LO, but such a background paper don't need much. I took some brads and glued them on the butterflies iso making a hole.

 

 Almost 7: I wanted to document the proces we have been to with Camiel, we got him examined for maybe AD(H)D or something related. He is not really hyperactive but has some other symptons like his lack of concentration(mostely at home) and some more. The reult were no ADHD so for they can sat now, but he also got an IQ test and with a IQ of 123 he is a 'gifted' boy. He probably need to be entertained al lot and is easyly bored, which is something we need to watch out on school. We have a meeting planned with his teacher next week to talk about it, but so far he is doing great on school, he is really studious at that's a great thing :) Beside that he is really stubborn and don't take initiatives himself.  I start to know him a little bit more each time!
BUt I just love how this LO came together :) Love the white mister Huey on the woodgrain paper. Made the sub/flower with yellow tutu trim. I als heat embossed the banner and the numbers.

Have nice weekend!

Astrid

It's me again with the latest Dutch Dare sketch challenge.

This is the sketch made by Petra:

 

 

And this is my LO about a walk in het Bergse Bos we made a couple of weeks ago. I loved to use the Amy Tan leaves these colors are made exclusively for SC :)

And don't forget to look at the creations of the other girls. And join us for another change on the RAK and to become our next guestdesigner!
