Cyprus | SMASH #vol. 3

Hi everyone,

Are you ready for more pages from my Cyprus SMASHbook? Anyway, here they come.

Wednesday market in Agia Thekla

Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. there was a local market in Agia Thekla, so we caught a bus and went out there. We bought nothing but had a lot of fun looking at the stuff they sold. Close to the market there was a small chapel which we had to check out, and suddenly we found this little cave which initially was a holy place for the early Christians.

I made a little book with more photos from the cave

We  paddled a little in the water and went to the small restaurant for refreshments.

The only kind of ice cream available in Agia Thekla

On our way back to Ayia Napa we didn't get off the bus right in time, so we ended out in the middle of nowhere. We really made a lot of fun out of it. We walked and walked until we finally found a bus stop where we waited for the bus back to town.

After that trip... COFFEE PLEASE :-D

Cyprus | SMASH #vol. 2

Hello guys,

Today I have a couple more pages from my Cyprus-SMASH for you.

Breakfast on the plane and coffee on the balcony outside our room

We had breakfast on the plane and besides the decent omelet it really wasn't something special :-D

Day 2

Tuesday we went sightseeing in Ayia Napa and started at the old monastery, a beautiful and peaceful place in an area with lots of bars, restaurants and souvenir shops.

The harbour and sunset.

Our long walk ended up at the harbour with small fishing boats and excursion boats lying side by side. On the left page you see a copy of "The Black Pearl" waiting to go on a family pirat-trip.

We just managed to watch the sunset on our way back to the hotel where the dinner was waiting. It only took a couple of minutes before it was totally dark.

This was some of the pages from day 2 in Ayia Napa.

Cyprus | SMASH #vol. 1

Hi everyone,

Now I am ready to show you a couple of pages from my SMASHbook from our vacation in Cyprus back in September.

Front cover

The signs and "Cypern" are made on the computer. Keep calm and think of AYIA NAPA is from Pinterest and the flag at the bottom is made of Washi tape. In addition I used stamps and a woodveneer.

I put a  keyhanger from Cyprus onto the strap for the pen

And now on to the pages.

I was SO excited getting startet, so I actually already made the left side the evening before we left. I made the right side in Ayia Napa.

pages SMASHed in Cyprus

I brought my Selphy printer so I could print out photos and SMASH now and then during the vacation.

We left home 03.30 a.m. so we grabbed some breakfast and a coffee at the airport. On the right page we are on our way.

I brought a small bag with different stash; stickers, pens, Washi tape, cutouts, stamps and so on.

I will soon be back with more pages from the book.

The Little Things.... | Pink Lady Apples

Hi everyone,

Well, - in my last post I promised  to be back soon, but it has been a while since I posted here. I'm not quite sure anyone has missed me *smiling*.

As some of you might know I started creating layouts of some of the little quite ordinary things in my life which I enjoy very much. The page I'm going to show today is with a photo of what I often eat for breakfast.

I love eating Muesli with the worlds best apples, if you ask me - Pink Lady. Pink Lady apples are also so delicious for a treat and for dessert. YUMMY....

Closeup of the Pink Lady heart

I used the Pink Lady heart from the box they came in as embellishment. Very original I think, and totally free.

Another closeup

Even if we did a trip to Mallorca, Spain 2 weeks ago, the last couple of months has been very busy with much too much work, extra shifts and so on, so lately I did not create any new layouts, but I have only been working on the SMASHbook from our vacation to Cyprus. As soon as the SMASHbook is ready I surely will present it here on the blog, but untill then...

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and take care.

Project Life | Week 23

Hi guys,

Since my last blogpost I have been on 2 weeks vacation. We spent the first week in our summerhouse and the last week we traveled to Cyprus and came back last Monday. We had a great time in Cyprus and took a lot of photos for scrapping. For the first time I was SMASHing while traveling and I created some pages from the first couple of days at the hotel. It was really hot down there and I really enjoyed SMASHing now and then when it was too hot outside and more comfortable inside with the AC running.
I certainly am going to show some of my SMASH pages here when they are ready to publish.

But now on to my Project Life spread for week no. 23. I must admit this is the latest spread I have made, so I have run far, far behind. Maybe I will catch up on it, maybe not - we'll see. The problem is I haven't taken may photos of my daily life lately. I really have to tighten up.

Week no. 23

Well, I will go on working on my SMASH pages.

I am linking up with The Mom Creative Project Life September edition

Have a great Sunday.

Layout | A Proud Little Girl

Hi again everyone,

It has been a while since I made my last blogpost. It has been a very hot and busy summer and I totally lost my mojo
A lot has happened over the summer, for now I can share 2 of the things with you: We said goodbye to our wonderful dog, argh... it was SO tough and we miss him SO much, he will live in our hearts forever that's for sure. Our little granddaughter (2½ years old) broke her leg which gave all of us a lot of challenges since she could not be in the Kindergarten while having a leg in plaster.

Saturday I started 2 weeks vacation and what could be nicer than to start with a lovely crop along with 60 other scrappers? I didn't create that much but I came up with a cover for my vacation-SMASHbook and this layout for Nicolines album.

The photo isn't the very best, but I really think you can see the pride in her face. She came home from Kindergarten with her very first necklace made of giant wooden beads. She was SO proud. I really love this photo.

I will be back soon.
