This is my last layout for Sketchabilities (at least for now...).
You can only be 2 consecutive terms at Sketchabilities, so it's my time to step down and give new designers a change.
Thanks Karan, for letting me work with your gorgeous sketches! I keep following you and try to play along!
Here is the sketch:
And I wasn't finished with my sisters wedding album yet, so I used this one to document the lunch.
Love, Miranda

October Pagemaps
The October Pagemaps are up. And guess what? I'm in it!
Cool isn't it?
http://www.pagemaps.com/octt11maps.htm
I'm so honored to be part of the Pagemaps October reveal!
Becky send me this sketch to work with.
Wonderful isn't it?
I still wanted to make just one layout for my sisters wedding book, and this sketch was perfect for it.
The poppy's are inspired by Pinterest and are made from felt.
Just cut circles by hand in 3 different sizes. Put them on top of each other and stitch them together.
With a black pearl pen I made the seeds.
Journaling reads:
Before leaving to "De Meijerhorst" just a check if the hair is sitting alright.
Of course also some pics of the 2 sisters together.
Thanks Becky for letting me join this month!

Herfst krans
Omdat de herfst toch echt voor de deur staat, wilde ik iets maken voor in huis.
Toen ik bezig was met mijn layout over de herfst kwam ik de chipboard bladeren van Maya Road weer tegen (na veel gezoek...)
Dat is de basis van het idee voor mijn krans voor RRR#32.
** Cause Fall is right around the corner, I wanted to make something for in the house.
When I was working on my layout about Fall I run into the chipboard leafs from Maya Road (after a lot of searching...)
That was the base for the idea for this wreath for RRR#32.

** Cause Fall is right around the corner, I wanted to make something for in the house.
When I was working on my layout about Fall I run into the chipboard leafs from Maya Road (after a lot of searching...)
That was the base for the idea for this wreath for RRR#32.
Zo heb ik de krans gemaakt:
** This is how I made the wreath:
De chipboard bladeren uit de mal drukken. Een aantal had ik er al gebruikt, dus ik had niet genoeg!
** Punch the chipboard leafs out. I already used a few, so I didn't had enough!
Dus met behulp van de mal heb ik de bladeren nagetekend.
Met een breekmesje alle bladeren uitsnijden. Een vervelend en zwaar klusje...
** So I used the template to draw the leafs. With a knife cut all the leafs. A terrible work!
Ik heb gekozen voor My Minds Eye papier.
De chipboard bladeren met lijm insmeren (ik heb Tacky glue gebruikt)
en op de achterkant van het papier plakken.
**I have chosen for My Minds Eye papers.
Put glue on the chipboard leafs (I used Tacky Glue)
and place them on the back of the papers.
Een tijdje laten drogen. Niet te kort, want dan kost het uitsnijden veel meer moeite!
En dan kun je weer de vorm uitsnijden. Dit is gelukkig een stuk eenvoudiger snijden...
** Let them dry a while. Not to short, cause then the cutting will be harder!
And then cut out the shape again. This is a lot easier then the chipboard...
Als je de bladeren uit hebt gesneden, kun je ze het beste even schuren. Zo haal je de randjes die je niet helemaal netjes hebt gesneden eraf. Ik doe dat gewoon met een schuurpapiertje.
** After cutting the leafs, sand the edges. That way you will get rid off the pieces you didn't cut neat.
I just use a sand paper.
Met Ranger Distress inkt (Tea dye) eerst de randjes van de bladeren inkten met de blendingtool.
With Ranger Distress Ink (Tea Dye) ink the edge of the leaves with a blending tool.
Daarna inkt je de rest van het blad ook lichtjes met de blendingtool.
Ook de achterkant heb ik geinkt.
** After that you ink the whole leaf a little with the blending tool.
I also inked the back side.
Dan maak je setjes van de bladeren. Ik heb er steeds 3 bij elkaar gedaan.
Met een stukje dubbelzijdige tape plak je ze op elkaar.
Make sets of the leafs. I put 3 off them on top of each other.
Use some double sided tape to glue them together.
Ook een stukje lint heb ik even bewerkt met distress inkt.
I also inked the piece of ribbon with distress ink.
Het lint haal je tussen een twijg van de krans door.
Je maakt een strik om de bladeren heen.
Put the ribbon through a branch of the wreath.
Make a bow around the leafs.
Je bladeren zitten nu op je krans. Tijd voor het volgende setje bladeren tot je helemaal rond bent!
** The leafs are now on the wreath.
Time for the next set of leafs till the wreath is full (or till you are pleased!)
Tot slot heb ik nog wat bruine Glimmermist over de bladeren heen gespoten.
**At last I missed the leafs with some brown Glimmer mist.
Love, Miranda

Sketchabilities ~sketch #55
Here is another great sketch from Karan for Sketchabilities.
There is no layout from me this time, cause in the week we had to finish the layout, we got bad news about my dad. His cancer is back and it can't be cured.... So I decided to let this reveal go by.Next time (September 30) will be my last layout for Sketchabilities. We can only do 2 consecutive terms, so I had to step aside to welcome new faces.
Take a look at the blog from Sketchabilities to see all the layouts from the DT!

Background
When I showed this layout someone asked how I did the background.
It's so easy!
I used this stencils (Punchanella) from the Paper Studio:
and some distress ink with the blending tool.
First I used the red ink (Barn door) and applied it with the blending tool. After that I took the Tea dye distress ink, shifted the Punchanella a bit, and applied it over the red very lightly.
That's it!

Natte voeten?
In de envelop van Miranda zat de lijn Salt Air van Cosmo Crickets. Een mooie lijn, maar ook een lastige lijn vond ik...
Na wat heen en weer geschuif heb ik er toch een layout mee weten te maken.
** In the envelop from Miranda was the line Salt Air from Cosmo Crickets. A beautiful one, but also a difficult, I think.....
After some pushing around I finally managed to make this layout.
De foto's zijn genomen in Ouwehands Dierenpark, waar mijn neefje Emil en ik de dag na de bruiloft van Regina en Rene heen gingen.
** The pictures are taken in a Zoo where my nephew Emil and I went too, the day after my sisters wedding.
Journaling reads: June 9 2011
After de wedding you are having a sleep over with us. Together we are going to Ouwehands Zoo. You like the animals a lot, but you LOVE the playground!

Made this layout for:
Color Combo Galore challenge #207
and the layout sketch from http://www.facebook.com/CropAndCreate
Journaling reads:
After a few years guitar lessons as a teenager,I gave it up. I learned classical, but that was not what I wanted. And i found it so hard to tune....
Now I started playing again after so many years. There is now a device that helps you tune the guitar. And I'm focusing on accompany songs.
