Dutch dare sketch #41

This week was again time for a Dutch Dare sketch challenge, this is number 41 by Marsha:


And this is my LO about a rare moments of the boys, were the forgot the are sworen enemies and gave eachother a hand to go look for adventure (at Drievliet)  ;)  Luckely we were quick enough to take a picture of it as prove.





We returned this week from our holiday in Mallorca, we had a great time. The weather was super. The minidisco, the pool and the beach were the kids favorites. I enjoyed reading my book, the few quiet times, the weather, eating out and of course the kids having fun. I'm sure LO's with some of the pics will follow.


And here are 2 other LO's, one I made befor the holiday:
SMILE, Pictures also from Drievliet, Tristan was just big enough to do this ride, it was more scary then I thought it would be. :) The boys, especially Camiel loved it.
The embroidered smile tag from Amy Tangerine came in the SC Paper Moon kit, love it!



And the next LO I made last night with the latest SC kit Mind the Gap, that was waiting for me after the holiday (at my neighbors). Love the circles stamp and the Sassafras paper. Pictures of Camiel with a beard of candy floss :)



Tomorrow the normal working life starts again. Yikes.

Finally I finished my may LO, I dont know why but it wasn't easy this time :)
But I tried some new techniques, I handsewed the flowers (I loved them in the sketch, so I wanted to create them myself). I even did the french knot for the first time, fun!!

Spin

Made this LO more then a week ago but still haven't show it here. It is a picture of a carousel in Drievliet Etienne and Camiel are on it (but you don't see that). It went really high so I'm glad I wasn't on it...
I loved the colors of the carousel :)   I used a sew easy head to make the pennants, not easy to use but I made it work ;).

Steven

Last week Steven, my best friend Hellen's son turned 7. She asked me to make a new canvas for his room. I mad 1 years ago with a picture of him when he was 2, so time for a new one. The theme was tools, because he love them.
This way for trouble ;)  I used lots of sprayink, love this little tools fro Crate paper.



 





I'm suffering from heavy backpains :(   No fun, I don't know how to sleep at night everything hurts, no matter how I lay. I got diclofenac from my doctor yesterday and I got an xray made, hope it gets better soon. It has something to do with my SI joint.

Have a good weekend,

hugs, Astrid

Trots

Made this LO about how proud I am of the changes Camiel have gone trough this last schoolyear, according to his teacher. Regarding his behavior, expressing himself and his concentration, it is still his weakest piont. But he totally ready for group 3 now. Time to start learning how to read and write and his looking forward to it. He already tries to read words by himself. Love to exprience this proces.

I love the paper circles that in were included in the SC Lawn Party kit, this time I used it for journaling spot and that chickenwire paper (exclusive SC) has such a yummie color.  I punched the holes for the sewing  circles wit the sew easy (fun tool).
Picture was taking during our last holidady in France.





Still a few weeks left and then out holiday starts, so looking forward to it!! We are going to Mallorca, first time flying wit the 2 boys. The last time we went by plane Tristan wasn't born yet, but already in the tummie ;)
I hope the wil love it, I already showed some pictures on the internet to Tristan of the pirateship slides in the swimming pool and his telling everybody all about it now. :)

Have a good weekend. I hope to start scrapping my may Project 12 pictures soon, time flies we are already half way june.
