We stick together

I always have trouble coming up with a blog title. I would love to be able to make it a witty one, a catchy one, hey, I'd settle for an interesting one ... but ... it's just not in me! So, I chose to use the title of this LO:

This is hubby and me in our younger years, not even 20 years old *sigh*. It seems like yesterday ... unfortunately the mirror tells me otherwise LOL! I used my beloved Kreatorville Krafts May kit to make this LO, except for the envelope, that was part of the January kit. That goreous pink frame can be purchased at Kean's etsy shop "Aptly Titled". To me, this splash of colour was just what this LO needed. I looooove the result!

The bird gave me inspiration for the title. Originally I had planned to use the other lyrics to the song as well, you know the "I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter" ... hence the envelope with the stamps (which I rather thought was clever LOL). However, I ran out of place to put it LOL, so I decided the "like birds of a feather" would have to do... so much for being clever, right :-)))

Last weekend, we had our first few consecutive days of good weather ... finally!!! I was actually getting a bit depressed, I mean, it's the end of May already, we should have seen plenty of sunshine by now!!! And to me, life is always sweeter when the sun is shining. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long, but we did have a nice weekend. We spent most of the weekend with my best friend Vicky and her hubby Bart.

And look what we're doing here ... that's right, we're scrapping!!! Not so much of a surprise that I'm scrapping, but Vicky is now officially a scrapper as well!!!! My best friend turned to the dark side whoahaaaaa!!!! She's loving it, and she actually cancelled a few appointments for next weekend to give her some free time to scrap ... sounds familiar LOL?????? I'm so excited we'll be sharing our hobby now!!

Even the kids were scrapping ... and yes, that is my son on the left there, scrapping as well!!! His dad is soooo proud (notice the sarcasm?? LOL). He actually did a pretty good job and he was able to finish his LO (which, if you know Yannis, actually is kind of a big deal!!!). He felt so proud and made me promise to put it on my blog, so here it is:

Not bad, right??? He's never been very good at crafting, cutting, glueing and that kind of stuff, so for him this really is quite something! Feeling pretty proud here (even if his dad isn't all that impressed LOL).

Talk to you later ladies, enjoy the weekend!

  2. Wat een héérlijke post, Peggy!! Die geweldige layout (die ik al geprezen heb op het blog van Kreatorville Kraft) en die zalig zomerse foto's!! Zo leuk, die foto van jou en je vriendin! En wat fijn dat ze nu ook aan het scrappen is, lijkt me echt het toppunt van gezelligheid: scrappen met je beste vriendin! Geniet ervan!

    En wat leuk dat Yannis een layout gemaakt heeft! Ik vind 'm helemaal super, helemaal mijn kleurtjes!!
    Super gedaan, Yannis!!!

    Fijn weekend, Peggy!

  3. Dat ziet er gezellig uit. Wat leuk dat je vriendin ook aangestoken is met het scrap-virus, en zelfs je zoon! Hij heeft het talent van zijn moeder geërfd! ;-)

    Jij hebt ook een mooie gemaakt hoor. Leuk met die verf-accenten en de hartjes. En het frame is er inderdaad super bij! Ik heb de mei kit vandaag gekregen, hij is echt heel leuk!

  9. Aaaah Peggy, wat fijn om een foto te zien met de zon op je gezicht! Ja, wij genoten er ook van - hopen dat de zon snel terugkomt want vandaag was het een en al regen en wind en onweer! Sorry dat ik jou blog (en alle anderen trouwens ook) een beetje verwaarloos de laatste tijd. IK heb het vreselijk druk!! Met leuke dingen - meest "scraprelate" - dingen, dat wel, maar tijdrovend..... Maar een snelle blik op je layout zegt me dat je "het" nog steeds in de vingers hebt en dat het gen ook in je zoon zit!!! YIHAAAA!!!

  10. Hé wat leuk, allemaal aan de scrap (behalve de mannen dan...).

    Love the paint and the birdy on the layout!

    Tja die "oude" foto is natuurlijk top. Dat zijn de herinneringen om vast te leggen middels scrapbooking.
