AJC #52 and a wonderful gift!


Our final prompt in our 52 week art journal challenge is: ART, there is just so much you can do with this one! let loose ;)

I just can't believe this Art Journal Challenge is done..... 52 weeks of creating, being creative, thinking a lot, or sometimes done in 10 minutes!
This was something I've enjoyed every week of the past year, and I feel sorry it's done! Emily said she'd come up with a new challenge, can't wait to see what it is!

My last card for this challenge is simple, the way I did all my other 51 cards, with of course the flower, that's a part of almost every card I've made!

I used one of the latest Autumn Leaves stamps I've bought, "Stiched Journaling" found a quote on the internet, and printed it right between the lines!

The journaling on the back speaks for itself I think, but Emily, if you read this, thanks so much for this wonderful challenge!!

Also thanks to all the other girls who played along in this challenge, it was pure joy to look at all your creations every week, and that's what I'm going to do now!

And my completed tin, altered a Basic Grey tin and the cards are on binderrings!

***

Then something else, I knew it was coming, it only took a little longer then expected.... a wonderful Christmas gift from my sis Jeanet, which should have been here before Christmas, but I guess Canada Post didn't feel like working hard this season:-) But, it was all worth the wait, look what I got!!

A pizza box filled with yummy things, Dutch droppies, and pepermint, and it tastes soooo good!

This book, Scrapcards, in which are a lot of cards Jeanet designed! I love it, a real treasure this is, and sis, your work is wonderful!

One of the cards designed by Jeanet! Isn't it beautiful?

Great {Note} Worthy papers, love them!


KI Memories Pop Culture, gorgeous bright colors!

And 3 Scrapbookmagazines, a great Dutch magazine for which Jeanet designs too! with some embellishments by KI and Making Memories!

I love each and every single thing, but the book is very special for me, sis, you made me cry, but that's ok he, he....... you are very special to me too, and I love you for being so generous! Thanks so much, I will do my best to make some beautiful layouts and even more cards!

Hoi Marjolein,
jammer voor je dat de 52 weken voorbij zijn, maar meid, wat heb je een mooie box vol met 'art'!
En dan die lekkere doos van Jeanet! Dat zijn de leuke kadootjes lijkt me als je in het buitenland woont!
Geniet er van!

Your card looks fantastic again, but I especially love the quote. I put mine all in a tin and just love the result, wasn't going to do anything with the tin but seeing how cool yours look maybe I will get around to it.
Best wishes for 2008 too! May you get lots of good times to scrap!
