Day 8

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to those of you who post comments on the postcards! I enjoy reading them very much!
I know it is not easy anymore to comment at 4shared but it is easy to come back here (the window stays open!) and leave a comment here on my blog! I would love to see more comments from those of you downloading! Let me know if you are enjoying the cards, if you are using them in some way, any ideas you have for more, or even just a thank you. Any and almost all :o) comments are welcome! No nasties please!

No new layout to post today. I got up way too late and just felt blah all day. I haven't gotten much done except some cleaning out of files on my computer! Maybe tomorrow.

Ok, on to the postcard for today!
What good are postcards from Holland if you don't have one, at least, with a windmill on it? lol
This photo was taken at Kinderdijk; a place where there are, I believe, 17 or 19 windmills in one area. This, of course, is just one of those windmills!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have enjoyed this week's postcards. I will be taking them down one by one now. Day 1 comes down today, Day 2 tomorrow, and so on. If you missed any, grab them while you can!
Have a great day everyone! See you tomorrow!

I don't know about your weather but here it is COLD!!!! Unusually cold for us! Every one in Holland keeps hoping for more so the ice will freeze and they can run their 11 city ice skating race. Even though I hate the cold, I am hoping it stays cold long enough for the race! Hubby promised to take the day off so we could go watch it if it happens. It will make for some great photos! :o)

Thinking about the cold, I actually scrapped a page tonight!!! :o)
This was a photo I took of a snowfall a year or so ago. We don't get much snow here in our part of Holland so every time we do, I am out snapping photos!
I used "Winter Escape" by Paint The Moon Designs (Annie Manning) and "Winter Flight" by Createwings Designs (Dawn Vander Stoep). Both kits can be found at Oscraps.

I have another postcard for you! This one is of a castle ruin (Ruine Ravenstyne) not far from where we live. The castle and the whole area around are just beautiful!
I hope you like it!

Well, that's it for today!
Have a great day everyone!

Day 6

Day 6 - no new layouts. I spent the day taking down the Christmas tree and all of the decorations. It took me literally, the whole day to get it done! I finished up just in time to make dinner. *sigh*
I really need to get on the ball with these layouts! I will never get 365 done at this rate!

I have another new postcard for those few of you downloading! Is anyone actually sending them to anyone or are you just downloading them for yourself? Just curious!

Today's postcard is a bit of Spring. I figured it is probably cold and/or snowy for a lot of you so maybe the colors will perk things up a bit! This photo was taken at the Keukenhof; a beautiful park here in Holland that is only open for a few months every year. Their floral display is fabulous! You will probably see more postcards from the Keukenhof! :o)

Have a good day everyone! See you tomorrow!

No new layouts created today. I guess sometimes living just gets in the way of scrapping about living. Is that really such a bad thing though?

Today's postcard is kind of artsy-fartsy. There was a living statue event this past summer in Den Haag, I believe it was. They didn't have as many statues as I thought they would but the ones they did have were fabulous! This photo is part of a "living tree". Notice the dragonfly to the left of the face? I just like the way this part of the tree looks and personally, I think it makes a cool postcard. Different form your normal ones anyway! If you think this postcard is strange, you should definitely check out the Dali museum in Spain! Very cool but also very strange! Maybe I will make some postcards from there!

If anyone has any suggestions for these postcards, as in themes you might like, etc., give me a shout! Leave a message either here on the blog or at 4shared in the comment section. Here is a preview of today's postcard:

Have a wonderful day! See you tomorrow!

Jan 4 - Day 4 "Reach Out and Touch Someone"

Thank you to those of you that have been downloading!

Someone said a tutorial for the back might be nice. I actually just figured you could print these out on thick paper. If you are sending them as postcards, you would write your message on the left and add the address and stamp on the right.
The only difference between these and a real postcard is the line in the middle dividing right and left and usually, the name of whatever is in the picture is listed somewhere on the back as well.
If you are just giving them to someone, then you could just use the whole back to write a note.

I will look into it though and see if I can find anything on how to add a postcard type back for printing. Thank you anonymous for the suggestion!

Today's postcard is another "cutesy" one. This is another one from a ride at the Efteling. If you have ever gone to Disney World or Disneyland, you have probably gone on the ride where the music is constantly "It's A Small World". This ride is essentially the same thing but the music is at least different throughout! lol
This photo is from one of the "countries". Aren't they adorable??

I didn't scrap anything today.(Today being Saturday as I am setting this up ahead of time!) We got busy and time just got away from me. Hopefully I can get both today's and tomorrow's pages done tomorrow.
Is anyone else doing the 365 day scrap? If so, I would love to hear about it and to see your layouts! Give me a shout!

That's it for now! See you all later!

365 Postcards - Day 3

Hello everyone!
Not too many takers yet on the postcards! Does that mean no one wants to actually write or does no one like the postcards?
I will keep going for those who are downloading them anyway!
Day 3 is a photo I took at the Efteling; an amusement park here in Holland. The photo is from my favorite ride there, the Droomvlucht (literally translated: Dream Flight). It's a magical ride and this postcard gives you an idea of what you see while on it! I hope you like it!

I will be back later to show you my Day 3 layouts for the 365 Day scrap.
Have a good one and thanks for stopping by!

365 Days of scrap - Day 2

A little late in the day but I finally got it done! I realized as I did this one that I am not scrapping my days as they are but scrapping photos from days past. It's still things I've done or places I've gone, still who and what I am so it should still count, right?
Anyway, here is the front and the back of my Day 2 page:


I used "Incredible Fun" kit and layered edges by Gisela B Designs.
See you again tomorrow!
