May Challenge Scrap Around The World and Bo Bunny

Goodmorning peeps,
You know how I love to combine challenges....yep I did it again.
I think I have a little off my mojo back and the sun is peeking through the clouds once in a while.
Today I want to share with you a layout I created for Bo Bunny's May challenge.
to use????

A book tittle in your layout!
And so I did when I was a kid I love the book
"Secret Garden" 
In Dutch it's called "De Geheime Tuin"
I always wished it was me in that book not telling your parents what you are doing and having a key to a place you only know "Oh" how cool must that have been.

I based my layout on a sketch at a NEW challenge site named:

The owner of this amazing site is a sweet friend of mine
Helen Tilbury
I sure hope you will play along someday maybe you can even play along this month you still have 19 hours to work with the sketch / mood board.

This is the amazing sketch / mood board:

So pretty I LOVE it....
It really got me very inspired so happy to have a little mojo back.
Thank you all for the sweet comment on my layout that I posted yesterday I really appricate it.

This is my take on both challenges
I used the gorgeous "Prairie Chic" collection by Bo Bunny.

One of my dreams is to be on the amazing design team at Bo Bunny I so hope they are having a DT Call soon because I do love their papers and embelishements so much.
I know they don't have DT calls at all because they have a stunning DT right now.
But I still can dream about it right???

I did a lot of mixed media's on this layout like embossing, gessoing (lol), spraying, inking and pasting.
I'm getting the hang of it.

I also used some gorgeous ribbon I got from Nicole Doiron  
thank you sweets.
some Petaloo and Manor House flowers, Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly die, a key and keyhole by Tim Holtz and ofcourse a GORGEOUS Imaginarium Designs chipboard border piece.

Now my layout:
and a couple of close-ups:


I hope you all like my work I had a wonderful time creating it....

Have a wonderful Saturday,

Love

May Challenge OUAS

O no my MOJO is gone who stole it?
Hi ya all,

I feel so mojoless (is that even a word?) what's wrong with me can anyone tell me ......
Yesterday was the coldest day in like a million years!
Last year it was 30 degrees now only 9 degrees..
aaahhh that's what wrong with me I badly need some sun!
Please send me some sun I have to do it with a picture for now.
This layout is my DT work at the stunning...

I would love to invite all off you scrappers to visit us and play with us
they love to see more scrappers the challenges are so much fun.
Today I want to share a kinda messy (for what I normaly do) layout....
I really love the sketch at Once Upon A Sketch  this month.
So I had to make one more layout with this amazing sketch...
Thanks Nadia for always inspiring me so much with your sketches.
The
is.....

Theme: Numbers!!!

This month, we ask you to include a number , ANY number, on your layout. It has to be VISIBLE on your layout and it can be in your title or part of your journalling. It can be a date, an age, a house number, an anniversary, the number of children you have, the number of pets ....anything you like. But please make sure that there is some explanation through your journalling, somewhere on your page or blog about what this number means to you. 

For my layout I used the number 2 because my cute niece on the picture is two here....and she is the second daughter off my sister in law.
She is the niece I seem to scrap the most because I love her being naugthy on the pictures I take off her ....she is a little model.
I wrote a poem on the back off my layout in dutch:

Wees vrolijk als een nachtegaal,
vriend'lijk als een zonnestraal,
vleitig in de school altijd,
en thuis een lieve meid!

I'm not so good in translating it so I'm not going to lol!!!

Here is my take on the sketch / challenge:

Love 2 Swing
For this layout I used the gorgeous papers Vintage Garden by Pion Designs.
As you can see I went crazy with using dies.
I was also inspired by the MOOD board at Zeus and Zoe blog.

Look at all the pretty elements you can work with...
I always love to used metal pieces on my layouts.
I also used some gorgeous pieces by

Imaginarium Designs
I'm so much in love with their chipboard....

Here a couple of close-ups:





I hope you all like my layout, and I really hope to get my mojo back soon!!
Trying to scrap again this weekend hope you all have a very blessed and SUNNY weekend.

Love
