Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let anyone visiting here know that I'm taking a little break from designing, blogging and posting freebies.
Eugene and I are moving into a really nice rental flat close to his work and since the place is brand new, we need to furnish it. So currently I'm spending all my time on drawing plans, walking around furniture stores (IRL and online) and packing boxes. We just bought our kitchen last week and I can't wait to actually use it (I might still only be making toast, but in a really cool oven).
It's very exciting, but leaves little time for anything else. I still love designing and scrapbooking, so as soon as everything is a bit quieter, I'll be posting freebies again!
I'll see you soon!

I got a beautiful blogger award!!
Jackie has sent me a blog award!! Thank you so much, Jackie. You really made my day!
Rules for this Award:
1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be fencing. It looks like such a graceful sport and I've always loved those old cloak-and-sword movies.
2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take a Swiss knife and a tent. (Maybe I'd rather take a charged mobile phone to call for help. Or if I knew someone would save me within a day I would take sunlotion and a 5 litre bottle of Grenadilla juice.)
3. ... are my most irrational fear. No idea. I think reality can be much scarier than most things I could think of. Still, since reading "It" I don't like clowns that much anymore ...
4. I'd rather do the dishes by hand everyday, than have to eat Mc Donald's everyday.
5. I am on holiday at the moment. I finished my last tasks at work 3 hours ago and will only return to the office in three week's time. Life can be great!
6. I should really be getting the suitcases that are downstairs in the cellar. And make some veggie rice to use up whatever could go rotten in the fridge while we fly to visit Eugene's parents on Monday.
7. One of my favorite things in all the world is walking on an empty beach when the tide is low looking at all the little things that you find in tidal pools.
Rules for this Award:
- Thank the person who kindly passes this to you, and link your award back to them!
- List 7 things about yourself.
- Pass it on to 15 Beautiful Bloggers!

Valentine's day freebie
Here's a kit (200 dpi) I made a while ago for the SNL group at Digital Scrapbook Place (designers in training sharing kits with eachother). As it's VERY Valentine's-day-ish I thought today would be a good time to share it with all of you! ENJOY and have a great weekend!

Stuff to Scrap Blogtrain is running again!!
After a short break in January, the Stuff to Scrap blog train is back! Which means that a whole bunch of talented designers makes scrapbooking kits using the same color palette and all you need to do is collect all the parts to get one HUGE MEGA KIT. For free!
So here is my contribution (click on the picture or on the link below the picture for download). And then scroll down a little further to get to the blog roll (all links for the blogs of the other designer).
Please keep in mind that because the designers live in different timezones it might take a day until all links are working!

I hope you like what I've made! I would love to see your pages! If you email me a layout made with one of my kits I will post it here (for my email to to the sidebar, right on top of this page)!
Links to other sites were removed.

Real life catching up
I've just posted in the Stuff to Scrap forum that I quit the Designer Darling Competition. I would have still loved to continue, but I simply don't have enough time for designing at the moment. I'm still so glad I made it through to round 3, but I didn't get a lot of sleep the last two weeks (call me night-designer, lol) and I won't be able to go on like this for another month.
Maybe the next contest will also include the weekend for doing the weekly challenges. Then I'll definitly be there!
For now I'm looking forward to concentrating on scrapping a bit more. I did project 365 last year, I did weekly layouts from April all the way to New Year's. So there's quite a few January photos waiting for me. And I want to concentrate on the "Design Your Life" Workshop by Cathy Zielske (I am still busy with that as well). Did I mention how funny she is? And the workshop is really worth the money, I am already starting to look at my layouts differently. Here are two pretty cool pages that I made with the templates that Cathy is providing for the course:
