#Fakeitandmakeit Scraplift

I decided to do my blog in English from now on! If you are Dutch (or any other language) i hope you can still read this, if not...you can always translate this (there is a translation button on the right of my page).

I watched the series #Fakeitandmakeit Julia from The Tattooed Crafter did together with Mrs. C. Scraps (both on YouTube) and decided to play along with the grid layout they made and which i loved....I chose 3 black and white photos and 1 base color patterned paper in aqua. The paper i used is from the Gather collection from Crate Paper. The wood veneer word Awesome is from a Dutch store Action (sort of a Dollar store). This is how it turned out.

I typed my journaling this time on my Vintage typewriter and love the look of it. I fussycut the flowers from the same paper pad (Gather collection Crate Paper) i used throughout my layout. If you know me a little you know i love to stitch (Cross Stitch is my first love in crafting) and i always try to include some stitching on my layouts. This time i decided to stitch between the pictures in the mustard color from the leaves of the flowers.

I also made some close-ups.

Now something about the photos. Me and my boyfriend usually try to walk each day after dinner in our own town and sometimes you discover some places you've never been before, although i have been living here for 20 years now. These little places are sometimes somewhat hidden, so this feeds on the feel of adventure! On one of these walks we found such a place. At first i thought it was private property, because there was a farmhouse next to this trail and it was a little hidden, but it was an actual trail. Because it was after dinner and the sun was going down, it caused beautiful pictures. I am most certainly going to go that trail again on another day!

Hope you enjoyed my blog! There is also a process video over on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaSTGye6TnRt3qwF7LrvMrw

Hope you stop by some time! Till next time!

Creatively Yours, Debbie XO

Long time no see!

So.....this is a long time ago! My last post in my blog was in 2016!! Since then a lot has changed. I still do cross stitching and quilting, but i picked up papercrafting as well. 

I love to scrapbook, Project Life and Creative Journal. I started out with Creative Journaling because i needed a place to vent, because of difficulties in my life for the past years, but when things became ok for me, i didn't feel like journaling anymore about my everyday feelings and emotions (which is obviously a good thing :-)), so i started to branch out and after a lot of binge watching YouTube (especially InkieQuill, Missy Whidden, Dearly Dee and Essie Ruth) i started scrapbooking and doing Project Life. I absolutely am in love with being busy with my hands and paper and try to include my so beloved cross stitching or plain stitching in my layouts. 

Since may of this year i also started my YouTube channel:

Creatively Yours

I love to have this sence of community with people who share the same passions and will do my very best to make it even better. 

Here is a sneak peak of a layout i made for next weeks video! I was watching the #Inkiequillscrapstream on saturday July 1st (for her it was actually sunday very early in the morning!) and had prepared all day before watching the scrapstream, so i could stitch teeny tiny cross stitches on my layout during the stream. I am very proud of this layout and how it turned out. What do you think of this sneak peak? I hope you will check out my channel on YouTube to see the process of this layout and my other process videos. 

See you next time! 

XOXO Debbie
