Back again with 3 LO´s

Geplaatst door Melanie op 3:59 PM 1 reacties
Hello!!!! I´m back again after a busy week of travelling, we drove over 600 kms. in 6 days with a 17 month old!!!!! That was certainly well worth a lot of pictures!!!!!!! I have so many pictures to scrap I´ll have to use some multi-photo templates!!!!!! Last week I was the chosen one to be scraplifted at http://www.digitalfreebies.com/ and everybody did such a great job!!! I love that challenge! I finished 3 LO´s for 3 template challenges and the friday freebie challenge (I like to combine some challenges to make it more challenging!!!!!) I discovered some great challenges with great prizes at http://www.retrodiva.net/, many people of digitalfreebies over there as well ofcourse!!! So here they are:


These pictures show his grandmother of 82 years old who still washes clothes by hand, cleans the floor on her knees and also takes care of her granddaughter of 16, my husbands cousin. She was so happy to see us and meet her great-grandchild, and we were very grateful for this oportunity!

Also we visited some of his aunts and cousins together with his mom. they hadn´t seen each other in 6 years, they literraly live in the middel of nowhere, surrounded by mountains, their life is reflected on their faces, they immediately feel in love with our son (who wouldn´t??), and we were impressed by the hard working people that they are.

Also I loved the freebie they give out to the subscribers of http://littledreamerdesigns.typepad.com/. On Digital Scrapbooking Day I participated in some challenges at June´s blog http://censloft.blogspot.com/ and got some nice goodies to play with!!!!! I combined one of the challenges with the digitalfreebies weekly challenge. I made the page for my friend, she showed me some of her pictures and I just had to have them to scrap with, there´s a bunch of them so more LO´s coming up!!!!! I just love to scrap for friends, it makes such great presents!!!!

Also I made another page with Cen´s Stuff, New Baby Boy Kit, available at SDK here. It took me ages to get this finished, because there are so many pics in it, and my computer did not want to work along, but I managed to keep it 12x12 inches as I did not want it sized down.....

Geplaatst door Melanie op 8:13 AM 1 reacties
Happy Digi Scrappin´Day!!!!!!!!! I just posted my 50th LO at my Digital Freebies Gallery!!!!! There´s lots going on today!!!!!!! Just take a look at this quickpage, do you like it? Keep on reading to see how you can get this goodie!!!!!!


I made this quickpage with another great kit of Cens´Stuff available at SDK. (There´s a freebie of this kit on her blog as well!). I just made a page using some pictures I had of my friends daughter. (Seen the fact a picture of my little boy would not fit very well in this LO…..hahahahaha!!!!!) Isn´t she cute? She´s about the same age as my son, I´ve known my friend Corien since we were about 4 years old, and she lived just right across the street. And now I live in Brazil, and of all my old friends she´s still the one who lives the closets by as she and her husband, and 2 daughter work as missionaries at the Netherlands Antilles (Curação)!!!!!How funny is that? You can get this quickpage participating in the challenge for Digital Scrapbooking Day at Cens blog here. Keep an eye on her blog as she´s posting 6 challenges througout the day and you can win great freebies!
This page I made for my best friend Marga. She´s a single mom of this gorgeous boy called Munda. The pics were taken on her brothers wedding.
