Hot Cocoa Season layout

 Christmas is getting closer and closer. And now we have a little baby boy in our family it was time for his first Christmas photoshoot! And what is the most fun part after the shoot?! Scrapping those photos with the amazing Hot Cocoa Season Collection at Raspberry Road Designs!

This collection is so great! I love the warm cozy feeling of it and there are some way too cute elements in it! Here's my layout with one of the photos of the photoshoot:

I hope you got some inspiration to work with this fun collection!

Animal Kingdom Layout

 Last weekend my husband surprised me with a long weekend in a hotel. This hotel is situated in front of such an amazing zoo called Wildlands. We spend all day there and I got home with hundreds of photos for my album. The perfect kit for these photos is Animal Kingdom in the Raspberry Road Designs shop!

One of the things to do in the zoo was making a jungle cruise. It was so fun! We did it twice! The elephants were playing in the water, monkeys were in the trees, it had the feeling we were really in the jungle. And with the Animal Kingdom kit by Raspberry Road Designs I got the same mood on my layout!

Have a wonderful weekend! Irene

Bushels of Fun Layout

 Today I worked with the wonderful collection Bushels of Fun. We have a small apple tree in our back garden and although the tree is small, we get a lot of apples every year. Last year we had around 35 apples, this year it will be around 50! So I use them for different recipes. With this collection I decided to scrap an Italian apple cake. Very delicious and the Bushels of Fun collection is just the perfect match for my photo!

Here's my layout with this fun collection:

Have a wonderful day, Irene.

Goodbye August layout

I should have been on vacation right now, but we had a huge leakage at our house and have to stay at home to get everything fixed again. So I really needed some scrap therapy! I grabbed the amazing Goodbye August collection in the Raspberry Road Designs shop.

With those bright and happy colors I just can't keep sad about my vacation anymore!

Have a wonderful day, Irene

Autumn by the Bay CT Layout

I finally played with another beauty I found in the Raspberry Road Designs shop. I'm having troubles with my arm and working on the computer is painful at the moment, but I couldn't resist the amazing new Autumn by the Bay collection!

Gorgeous collection, isn't it?!

Here's my layout with some very old photos, taken around 1930 with my husbands grandfather as a young boy:

Fall Foliage CT Layout

Maybe it's because I'm born in October, but Autumn is my favorite season. Yes, I do love the happy colors of Spring and Summer, but the warm natural tones of Autumn are my favorites! And now there is another new collection in the Raspberry Road Designs shop with those amazing warm natural tones: Fall Foliage!

Do I need to say more? Gorgeous, isn't it! 

To make it easy for you, there are also amazing clusters available:

I used some of the clusters to start my page, they help me to start with the design, and then I finished it with a lot of extra elements. 

I hope you get inspired to scrap your Autumn photos with this amazing collection!

Have a wonderful weekend, Irene

Sandy Toes Layout

Spring has finally arrived where I live, but last week we had snow and hail. So I am really ready for some sunshine now. And when you look in the Raspberry Road Designs shop the sun is shining!
New in the shop you can find the amazing sunny Sandy Toes collection!

This is the perfect beach kit with amazing colors and all the beach elements you will need!

As always there are also fun cluster sets available and I find them a great help to start with a page. After placing one or two of the clusters, you just have to ad an extra element here and there and a wordart and your page is done!

I hope you like my inspiration layout. I had lots of fun creating with this sunny kit!

April Awakens Layout

New in the Rapsberry Road Designs shop: April Awakens!

With these beautiful yellows and greens it feels like Spring right away!

As soon as I saw this new April Awakens I couldn't resist playing right away, although it was way past bed time for me.

I combined 2 different papers. I always love wooden backgrounds for the natural look, but I couldn't resist also using the wonderful patterend paper. In the kit is a lovely laced border, perfect at the edge of the paper!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Linen and Lace Layout

With Linen and Lace there is another beautiful collection in the Raspberry Road Designs shop!
The warm colors with a vintage and romantic touch give this kit lots of possibilities!

Creating with this collection is so easy to do! The cluster set is a great way to start your page and playing around with different papers and one of the fun masks finish the layout!

Can you imagine I'm in the mood of re-creating my own Wedding album with this amazing collection?

Berry Sweet Day Layout

There's another wonderful collection in the Raspberry Road Designs shop! It's called Berry Sweet Day.
This kit has bright and happy colors.

I really like the unexpected combination of the blue with the red, white and green.

Here's a layout I created with the Berry Sweet Day collection:

Hello Fall Layout

Hello everyone, Irene here, finally! It's been a long time after a very hectic period for me! But now I'm back and I can't wait to show you this wonderful Hello Fall collection that you can find in the Raspberry Road Designs shop!

The colors of this collection are awesome and can be used with many different Fall photos. Here in my region we don't have many trees with yellow, red and orange leaves. Most of the green leaves will turn a bit brown and then just fall off.

I really had fun creating my layout with this kit! I started with one of the clusters and then built around it. I find those clusters a really great start for a page.

Have a wonderful day and see you soon! Irene

Woodland Christmas: CT Inspiration Layout

After a very busy period I took some extra days off from work to enjoy the Christmas season. I picked out some recipes and bought all the ingredients. So for that part I am ready for Christmas. There was one thing that I still had to do! Creating Christmas cards. And I couldn't do it better without this wonderful Woodland Chrismas collection in the Raspberry Road Designs shop!

I really like the classic look of this collection. The traditional colors are so wonderful and besides the wonderful traditional elements you can also find these gorgeous papers in this kit!

And here's my Christmas card for this year:

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2015.

Cottage Rose: CT Inspiration Layout

I still had a collection on my wishlist and today I finally had time to create a layout with it: Cottage Rose! It's one of those gorgeous collections in the Raspberry Road Designs shop that is loaded with amazing natural elements in the most beautiful colors!

The combination of green, yellow and red is so gorgeous and the paper pack contains some wonderful patterned papers in these colors.

Here's my layout:

Hugs, Irene

Tropical Vacation: Cluster Freebie

New in the Raspberry Road Designs shop is the amazing Tropical Vacation! When you see this collection you just have to go on vacation right away! Look at those colors!

And I'm also in love with the papers! This kit has vacation written all over it!

I still have to go on Summer vacation, but I couldn't wait to start creating with this collection, so I grabbed some photos from last year. We visited Lake Garda and I loved the colorful buildings and the palm trees in Riva del Garda. For me it was kind of tropical.

I thought it was about time to create a freebie for you. So I made a cluster for you for your tropical layouts:

You can download it here: Cluster Freebie

Moonlight Serenade: CT Inspiration Layout

This time I want to show you a collection that released a couple of weeks ago: Moonlight Serenade!

As you can see on the preview the kit has some amazing colors and is loaded! And the papers are so gorgeous!

On one of the beautiful papers there is a vaze with flowers and I used that as a starting point for my layout:

Hugs, Irene

Rust And Roses: CT Inspiration Layout

I was really jumping up and down when I saw the latest release in the Raspberry Road Designs shop! Rust and Roses is so gorgeous! I'm a bit dissappointed I already finished the family book for my mother in law because I would have used this kit for it on many many pages.

Just look at the amazing collection of vintage elements and the warm colors. It's the perfect kit to create your layouts with your treasured family memories.

Although I already finished the book for my mother in law, I still love to play with the photos, so I used one photo from around 1925 that my mother in law found in a box at her mother's house a couple of years ago:

Great Outdoors: CT Inspiration Layout

One of my favorite themes for digital scrapbooking kits is Great Outdoors, so I am really excited to show you the new Great Outdoors collection in the Raspberry Road Designs shop!

There are some fun sets available to complete your collection. I especially love the stacked paper set:

In the Summer of 2013 we were in Austria for a couple of days and we took a lot of photos of the nature there. There are beautiful mountains and little rivers and for me, that's the recipe for the real outdoors. Here's an inspiration layout I made with the wonderful collection:

Ocean Breeze: CT Inspiration Layout

New in the Raspberry Road Designs shop: Ocean Breeze! I think this is another a must have sea kit from Susan! To be honest, this kit released just a day after I finished my vacation 2013 album and I was so dissapointed I already ordered it without the possibility of using this kit for my layouts!

Not only the elements are amazing, also the papers and other sets are!

Although my vacation book was already finished, I couldn't resist playing with a photo from the lake we visited:

I hope you like my inspiration! Irene



Lilac Cottage: CT Inspiration Layout

As some of you already know I love natural elements in kits and well, as you can see you on the preview, Lilac Cottage is loaded with natural elements in the most beautiful colors!

Well, to be short, I couldn't resist creating a layout with this amazing collection!

I used a cluster from the collection as a base for my layout and then started adding some of the gorgeous elements like little flowers and butterflies!

Hugs, Irene

Locally Grown: CT Inspiration Layout

A release from a couple of weeks ago is Locally Grown. This gorgeous kit is filled with deliciousness! Fresh vegetables, lots of garden stuff and more in the most amazing natural colors. This kit is like a vegetable garden itself!

Also the papers are great to play with! You can layer the different colors and patterns in many ways to get lots of different layouts: 

Lately I've been cooking lots of Italian recipes and I'm using vegetables I haven't used before. Not that everything turned out wonderful, but most of the vegetables we eat are delicious. So here's a layout I made with one of my kitchen experiments:
