Paper & Pictures in Doorn

Don't you just love this scrapbookshop................

 it's Paper & Pictures in Doorn.

I visited them yesterday when I went back to Driebergen, the place where I went on vaction for more then 10 years as a child and let me tell you............ when I got there I got a bit emotional, haha =P

Anyways Paper & Pictures is such a lovely store with very nice people who work there, that you really should visit them yourself !!

As you can see I made a few pictures from the store after shopped 'till I dropped, hahaha.

I will show what I bought in a later message, but I really need to go to bed now, so thanks for dropping by....

Tilda Autumn & Winter Collection 2010/2011

Autumn kit                 Winter kit

All you Tilda fans...............

 the new Autumn & Winter series will be released tomorrow !! = )

Want to know who's selling them, look for shops on my blog page "Where I Like To shop"

I just ordered the Autumn kit...... I think I'm going to wait with the Winter kit though and see if Tones' new book has the pattern 'cause not only the new Tilda series,

but also the fantastic new Eline Pellinkhof products and her new book will be released in the next couple of  "weeks"

So I have to make choices, hahaha =P

By the way did you guys see Elines' mailing on her blog,

 no..... you really should have a look !!

Great pictures that make you drool =P

You know I was wondering who's also an Eline Pellinkhof fan and how many of you are out there......

if you like you can leave a message = )

Thanks for dropping by and have a great evening !!

Drawer box (HobbyJournaal 65)

(front view)

(side view)

(with two of the four drawers open)

This drawer box I saw in the HobbyJournaal number 65

(Dutch hobby magazine) that Tiets Wolfard created.

The box doesn't have one, not two, not three..... but four drawers,

a drawer on each side and an easel so it holds up the card.

I used another Hänglar Stänglar image....

isn't she cute or should I say... "attractive" ; )

Anyways, if you also would like to make your own drawer box with easel..... run to your local hobbyshop to buy HobbyJournaal number 65 (prize € 1,30)

Have fun making the drawer box I know I did !!

My first Hänglar Stänglar creations

This time I pimped a egg carton with Tilda scrapbookpaper

(gingham green), a Hänglar Stänglar girl with chicken stamp,

some paper flowers, ribbon and a old Dutch 10 cents charm.

(front view)

And what is an egg carton without some eggs right...... of course you can't keep real eggs forever, so I used styrofoam eggs instead

(Ø 3 cm)

---------------------

Next up is a 11 x 11 cm hidden drawer card..... a what !?..... a hidden drawer card. It's sort of a little box with a drawer and a "flap" that's used as a card.

I found this idea on one of the Hänglar Stänglar blogs I follow and they direct their followers to this English blog who have the measurements etc.

Only their measurements are for a 7 x 7 cm hidden drawer card, so I had to figure out how to make it bigger and still have a "flap" I could use as a card...... but it worked =P

To decorate the hidden drawer card I found some old scrapbookpaper that I still had laying around and that went well with the Hänglar Stänglar bug hug stamp.

I also used a vintage oval shaped button to open the drawer with.......

Inside I used the same Hänglar Stänglar bug hug stamp and Eline Pellinkhofs' Dutch text stamps,

that says "You can use a boost..... Get well soon"

A fun way to wish someone a speedy recovery.... and you can put something inside the drawer, perhaps  for someone who has a bad cold some vitamine C, aspirin, tea bags etc !? =P

And after I made the 11 x 11 cm hidden drawer card I just had to make the 7 x 7 cm (very cute size) version.

Here I also used an Eline Pellinkhof Dutch text stamp, this time it says "Enjoy every single moment"

I hope you like these ideas and enjoy the rest of your weekend, thanks for dropping by again = )

Copic Ciao Markers or Letraset Promarkers

I went to Harolds today and found these Letraset Promarkers, they are pretty much like the Copic Ciao Markers but they have an even finer tip, other colors and best of all.... they are cheaper !! = )

Price Copic Ciao Marker €3,95...... Letraset Promarker €2,50

Still love my Copic Ciao Markers and bought those transparante boxes to store them in.

Useally you can only buy the transparant boxes filled or only for the Copic Markers.... but these are the original once for the Copic Ciao Markers.

So I'm very happy right now because I've been looking for them for a long, long time !!

Anyways, thought I would share this information with you guys = )

Thanks for dropping by.....

Downloading and installing the pea annalee font

If you have trouble downloading and installing the pea annalee font, here's a way how to solve the problem

(I hope, haha)

* First click on the pea annalee link ( read TIP under my header) to go to the website of Kevin&Amanda

* Scroll down a bit where you see a great big button that says download

* Right click on it and click on the button that says "Save Target As"

* A new window opens

* First you need to create a new folder (name the new folder so you know where to find it)

* Now the window says that this folder is empty, that's ok.... now we can save the font in this new folder

* Make sure you save it as a ZIP file

* Click on the button that says "Save"

* Now you go to your newly created folder and click on the > button in front of it

* Right click on the pea annalee font with the PDF logo in front of it and click on the button "Unpack/Unpack everything"

* A new window opens up and click on the button "Unpack"

* Again a new window opens up, but now with the pea annalee font as a "TrueType-letterype...." file

* Right click on it and click on the button "Install" (maybe you need to confirm)

* Your computer will now install the pea annalee font = )

I hope it works..... please let me know so I can make a seperate page for these instructions !!

Good luck and when you need help feel free to ask and I will do my best to help you out = )

A complete new blogger look & layout

Goodmorning everyone.... pfff I don't know if anyone has noticed but for the last few days I've been creating a hole new layout for my blog and I can tell you it's not easy changing the HTML =P

Not only have I changed my background, removed the border that was around my header picture, moved the sidebar from right to left.... things like that, no I have also installed a new font.

The only thing about installing a new font on blogger.com is that the people who are following you or just come to visit also need to install your new font on their own computer or they aren't able to see it =/

So that's way I wrote a TIP on the top of my blog page

(under the header)

Just click on the Pea Annelee link and follow the instructions

on Kevin & Amanda's website

(it's easy, but if you need help let me know)

Of course this only an option, you can always read my blog in a regular font.... but with the new font it looks much prettier ; )

I would love to hear what you think of my new blog..........
