Yes!!! I have made it through Basic Scrap Course and this is project number 5. After this I'll try to do something with the Rain. But we have, ironical enough, since the outbreak of Covid-19 the most wonderful spring weather! No snow, like Carole had in her garden, we already had to water the plants a couple of times. Ladies I see some much lovely work!

Hi,

 

I bought Caroles book also and astonishing in this difficult times it arrived in only 11 days. I have not read it all yet, but it gives so many very useful tips. A couple of them already solved some problems I had. After I have read it all I'll give a short review at Amazon. I highly recommend this book.

Typo whole country!

The 4th of May is our National Remembrance Day for all those killed in World War II and peacekeeping operations afterwards. At 8 pm there are 2 minutes of silence in the hole country and afterwards our King will lay the 1st wrath at the National Monument in Amsterdam. There are speeches and more wraths and flowers. The next day is Liberation Day.

 

My uncle, whom I never knew, was one of the victems. He was a printer by profession and took part in the resistence movement and owned a printing business. The group he was part of, was betrayed and he was taken prisonner. A few weeks later he was shot dead on the Waalsdorpervlakte, an area in the dunes near The Hague. He left a wife and 2 kids.

 

In his honnor we named our daughter after him!

 

To commemorate him I made this scrapbook- page to day.

The result of the day 7, the last of the series. I have enjoyed it very much and I seem to learn more through these challenges than doing the Basic Scrap Course on my one. I love to see what the others have been making and that gives me a lot of new ideas for different projects. Carole thank you for all the trouble you have taken and I look forward to more of these challenges if possible. Bye, buy to all and see you soon!

Hi Carole, thank you for your comment on my day 6 for the placing of the vector tube.I did it again and now it looks much nicer. Sorry to disappoint you but the word "SUMMER" is not my own. It comes from the kit Summerlovin-mini by ap-psJuli17BT wich I found on Pixelscrappers. But I find it very appropriate with my theme and I will try to make something like it in the future.

 

Annie as ever thank you for your comments, I hope to get many more of them in the future! Hope you are still safe at home.

This is day 6. I'm also a little behind but we had such lovely weather for april! It was a joy to be outside and be able to go for long walks or work a bit in our little patiogarden and have your coffees or meals there. Tomorrow the weather will change and we are getting (much needed) rain. So tomorrow hopefully the last project.

Here is the result of day 5. This are my granddaughters making glasses of some wire, so that explanes the title. I'm not a great fan of so many patterned papers, therefore I have chosen some that are somewhat subtle. Everybody is making great stuff!

It has taken me some time but here is wise words day 4. The problem was not in the vector path but I started out using the template and that did not work at all with the theme and photos I wanted to use. Yesterday was any how an off day; with everything I did something went wrong. So in the end I realised I simply should not use that template! Now is an other day and it went smoothly.

 

Carole I saw your comment on day 3 and I agry with you. It shows one really should not try to finish something off if it has become very late at night. I'll rectify.

These are my wise words day 3. It took me a while before I had figured out how to work with the template, but I saw a comment from Carole and could find the solution to my problem in a blog! This is becoming addictive; it is already after midnight in my part of the world but I wanted to post the result of my work.

 

Oh and Carole I ordered your book and despite the Covid-pandemie it arrived to day, only 11 days after ordering. The ordering in itself was a problem, because Amazon Netherlands (it just started overhere) did not have it. Then I tried Amazon Germany, they had it but did not deliver to the Netherlands because of the situation. So next: Amazon UK and they had no problems at all!

This is the result of day 2 of wise words. This one went a lot smoother than day 1. I admire all the work that is sent in, it inspires me and I am already thinking of the next day.

A bit later but here is my day 1. I used the template, but the photo is mine. It took me a while to figur it out but I got there in the end. Nice work from everybody!

Dikkertje Dap - A Dutch childrens film about a young boy that lives with his parents in a zoo and becomes best friends with a baby giraf that is born on his birthday.

And here is the result on Module 4 from Basic Scrapbook Course.

Hi Annie

 

What a nuissance your hand! I hope it will get less painful, but my own experience with carpal and artrosis is that it probably will take some time. I had to stop with most of my handycrafts; I did lacemaking with bobbins and embroidery and so on. But the results were no longer good and therefore did not satisfy me. A long time I had no subsitute.  for it but then came photografy and following that came PSP. So now I'm here. You see there is hope!

Hello there,

 

I signed in also, after bootcamp and now going through basicscrap course I look forward to this new challenge. I see a lot af names/photos I recognize from the other projects, so nice to hear from all of you again.

 

Carole I hope you get well soon and your teddybear looks lovely.

After a very full last week with my birthday and easter I had now the time to make my module 3 from Basic Scrap Course. As that one was about lunch I immedately thought about a favorite dessert for summerparties. By the way it was a very strange birthday without visitors and presents etc. But with a lot of (video)calls, cards and my husband managed to get me flowers!

Besides  following Basic Scrap Course I have been working on the following 3 pages: all about easter; 2 for my granddaughters and 1 for wishing all my loved ones a happy easter. I tried to follow and combine the thing I just learned.

 

Next week I'll continue with module 3.

 

Best wishes and stay safe and at home!

I'm working my way through the Basic Scrap Course 1 and here is my take on module 2. The kit that came with this module had no alpha, so I searched for something else and this is what I found. I don't want to buy things yet, after all I'm still a rookie.

Basic Scrap Course - Module 1

 

I started and this is the result. Before this I did the March 2020 Bootcamp and that was really helpful. And Carole I like my PSP 2020 very much!

Well here is my last project #5. I enjoyed making all of them and I'm a bit sorry it is over. But now I have time to browse the internet for more kits to my liking, maybe on PixelScrapper. If anybody has other ideas for freebies, please let me know!!!

 

All of you stay save wherever you may live.

Hi everybody, here is my project #4 at last. I'm not entirety happy with the result but it will have to do for now! I spend a whole evening looking for other kits on the internet and found some I liked on PixelScrapper but I defenitifly must go back there and browse some more. You see the kit provided for this project did not appeal to me, it didn't go well with the idea I had in mind. I wanted to make something to cheer us up in this difficult Covid-19 world.

 

Annie thank you for your kind comments, so encouraging!!!

 

Carole the problem on the #3 project with the glitter tile was not in making the tile itself , and I used the glitters you gave us, but with the floodfilling of it. I didn't get the pattern in the materials palette at first. I think I had the sequence of the commands wrong, but in the ennd I got there.

 

 

My project #3. At first I had a lot more elements in it,  but as the photos are quit colorfull that was way to much; at least I think so and toned it down a bit. Getting the glittertile right was a chalenge but in the end I got there. Sorry I see now that I misspelled glashouse, it should be glasshouse. But I'm Dutch so......
