Spring.

Spring is such a lovely time of year.....
I am amazed how quick the plants are growing and how the colors in the yard change!
Looking forward to the new birdies, who will fly out.......

New life....
New starts......
New beginning.......

Let's celebrate Spring 2008.

Have a wonderful night,

Paper Challenge 08, week 18: My five senses.

This week Elise gave us a difficult challenge, but after a couple of minutes I came up with this idea. Simple, but clear to me, because I did find out that:

I ADORE MY FIVE SENSES!







What would I be without these 5 senses? I just need them and they are soooo important to me!



So, today, tomorrow and this week think about these questions:



What do you see? What do you hear? What do you taste? What do you smell? What do you touch?
Thank you Elise, because I really had to think about my 5 senses.....
I appreciate them very much, but I almost forgot how much!

Have a nice day,

Scrappy Jen D.

All Mexican!

With this mini-book I tried to win a scrapbook-title!
Too bad.....The jury didn't choose for my book.
What to say?
Things can be worse and life goes on!
I like my book: it is very special to me and I love Mexico and the Mexican history and culture!
I love the people there and their food.....
The colors!
It was a very wonderful trip and it made me able to make a book of this trip to honour this beautiful country!
I felt very welcome and people were so open. Ofcourse my Spanish is lousy, but I was able to talk with them. If you try, people are so happy and helpfull!
If you can: go fot it and find out how these people really live! You'll be amazed! Mexico is such a beautiful country!
I hope I can go there again for some time.
And for the girls who are one of the three?
I WISH THEM ALL THE LUCK! GO FOR IT!

Have a wonderful day, Scrappy Jen D.

My mini Mexico-book and two mini-mini's.

I just love the colors!
The album was a gift and it was a naked and very pink one. So....I started to pimp it a little.
In the Maya Road tin I put some sand (of the Mexican beach!) and some Mexican shells and coral in it. I did not dive for coral! It was a little piece that was on the beach! I did not damaged the underwaterlife!!!
The little Mexican sombrero was on top of a sauce-bottle, we did bring home, because it tasted so yummie.
As you can see....I could use it!

Inside of the book.

The inside of the album was very, very black.....

It didn't make me happy, so I pimped the inside completely!

Made a colorful pocket with tags, a little suitcase and some flowers!
Now it reminds me of colorful MEXICO where the sun is out more then here........

Two mini-mini-books.

I made two mini-mini-books and they are hanging on my Mexico-mini-book.
One of the mini-mini's is all about Peter and the birds he spotted in Mexico and they other one is all about me and the sky's.
I am very crazy about clouds and sky's.
This way I was able to get rid of all the photo's we made!

Inside one of the mini-books.

Just a little peek in one of the two mini-books.
