Homeland

31 January 2013

Today's post is just a little bit nostalgic. I have the Belgian nationality but spent my childhood in South Africa (in Waterfall, Kwazulu Natal). When my parents said we were going back to Belgium, our country of origin I felt really awkward as I had always seen myself as South African. Still today I see it as my homeland and there are days I miss it tremendously. My home is with my loved ones but part of my heart is still there! I came across a photo of me and it triggered those memories of my childhood days to pop up. I thought I'd use the photo on a layout.
I chose to play with the Valentine's collection from Crate Paper. I LOVE that map patterned paper and the colours in this line are divine! The little stamp arrow from EVALICIOUS is my new favourite! I also used my punches to create the circular elements on the layout. There are quite a few punches on sale in the 2peasinabuchet store!! PUNCH SALE LINK.
Un peu de nostalgie dans le post d'aujourd'hui. En triant mes photo je suis tombé sur celle-ci de moi étant petite. Elle m'a fait pensé à l'époque où je vivais en Aftique du Sud. Le retour a été dur, et encore maintenant ce pays me manque. 
J'ai utilisé la collection de Saint Valentin de Crate Paper pour cette page avec beaucoup de perforations rondes (REDUCTIONS sur les perforatrices DANS LE MAGASIN 2peasinabucket : ICI).

both at the same time. My first ever video at twopeas went LIVE today and really hope the peas will like it. I had a lot of fun creating this two pager. I was also a good opportunity to use up all my scraps. 
Here is my layout and the video. For a full list of supplies see here.
Nervosité et peur mélangés pour mon premier vidéo chez Twopeas. J'ai vraiment aimé créer cette double page et j'espère que les peas aimeront! Pour une liste de matériel complète cliquez ici.















Today ...

26 January 2013

was my birthday. It was simple, laid-back, just what I needed. I had lots of bday wishes from my friends all over the world and that was the best present. Today I added a year to 33 which means I am 34 and I feel great. I have an amazing family, I love my job and I am really enjoying my creative hobby. I hope this year will be as fun as last year.
 I AM 34! 

No post is complete without a layout. This one was made with the Scraptastic kit (January: Chasing Pavements!). I have had a glimpse of the February kits and they are STUNNING!!!!!
