Watercolor mini album and a challenge

Happy weekend everyone! I have a fun little mini album to share today, but first I want to let you know that the Cut it Out July challenge at The Cut Shoppe is up and there's a fun prize for you to win!!

Here are the details:

- Create a layout using at least one of the Cut Files, that can be purchased from The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store.
- Come back to this post at The Cut Shoppe blog, and leave a link to your layout.
- Make sure you leave your link by midnight CST on July 31st.

A random winner will be selected for a $10 cut file shopping spree, and announced on August 1st!

Every week there are new cut files in The Cut Shoppe store. This is one of the new ones of this week, which you can find overhere in the store.

Now on to a little mini album I've made. I was inspired by the Clique Kits Summer School where Gia shared some great video's with watercolors. Usually I'm not really a getting my hands dirty kinda girl, but I thought it was about time to get those watercolors out again.

I made some pages out of watercolor paper and gave each page an ombre effect. I used a couple instax pictures from the Florida trip and embellished the pages with washi tapes, buttons from A Flair for Buttons, vellum bags, Technique Tuesday stamps, Studio Calico paperclips and sequins.

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your weekend!

DT announcement - The Cut Shoppe

As you could have seen on my blog, I've been having lots of fun lately with the cut files from The Cut Shoppe. So it's with so much joy and pride that I can share that I'm part of the Design Team of The Cut Shoppe!! These are the amazingly talented ladies who are on the team with me.

We will share our creations made with the cut files over at The Cut Shoppe blog. All the cut files are available at The Cut Shoppe Etsy store. You can also follow The Cut Shoppe on Instagram and Pinterest.

A big thank you to Ashley for having me and I'm looking forward to a fun term on this team!

Colorado River

Today I have a layout to share with a picture taken on our September road trip. We spent a night in Marble Canyon on a walking distance from the Colorado River and early in the morning we took a walk there to take some pictures.

The colors and theme of the We're Memory Keepers Jet Set collection is a perfect fit for the colors of the canyon. The camera cut file is from the Captured on Camera set from The Cut Shoppe.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

DT Paper Issues - Thrilling

I've made another layout for the current issue at Paper Issues In the Navy. I thought this picture was perfect for it. It's taken during a ride on the speedboat Thriller at Clearwater Beach and I was so excited when I got the chance to drive that thing myself at 50 mph. It was such a fun experience!

For my layout I used the Heidi Swapp My Favorite Things collection, some Color Shine sprays and one of the mini stencils.

You can find all Heidi Swapp products overhere in the Paper Issues store and buy them with 20% off when you use my code DANIELLE20 at check out!

Clique Kits - June Honor Society Blog Hop

Welcome to the Clique Kits Pep Rally! Along the hop you'll find amazing projects made with the June kit Show & Tell.

The June kit is chock full of Heidi Swapp's My Favorite Things collection, so the challenge this time is to show your favorite things. With the World Cup Soccer being in full swing, I had to make a layout about it. As a born and raised Dutch girl I just have to be a huge soccer fan. There's no way you can escape the World Cup overhere, streets, bars and houses are decorated in our national pride: orange! People show up in orange clothes at work and for an entire month there's this specific atmosphere that I can't even describe.

At the time I made this layout our team played 2 games and won both of them, so we're already sure we made it to the next round. I made pictures of the TV screen while the results of the games were on. For my layout I grabbed everything orange from the kit and as a base I used this cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

Here's the list of participating Clique Kits members, you'll find a giveaway along the hop as well!
