WOW, I am already two weeks in the BlueMoonScrapbooking DT!! Can’t believe how fast time runs at the moment!! Today Lisa posted another Layout of me on the blog. I have to say, that I was not very happy with my result, because I had such a hard time with this paper. I love the paper, don’t get me wrong, but somehow I couldn’t arrange it so I would love it….. How ever, here’s the layout.
Happy 1st of September!!! Eeeks, already September!! How fast that time goes….
Today I want to show you my first DT Work for BlueMoonScrapbooking! We all got this awesome 7Gypsies Receipt Holder and I loved to play with it! I have to admit, that in the beginning I wasn’t very happy to get one of these, because I thought I wouldn’t like it…. But while working with it I totally fell in love with this awesome wall decor 
Check out the original Blog post right HERE!! If you want one, you can purchase it HERE. Have fun shopping
I also smuggled in some swissgirlDesigns Clear Stamps… (Set: Bambi and Lovely Owls)
Aaaaalright! Finally I am able to post a few things here 
I don’t know where to start… I think I am just going to show you a few pictures and tell you guys the meaning, okay??
I got myself theeeeese chucks! Aren’t they adorable??? I looove ‘em 
haha
As you can see, I was very busy with packing my stuff since I am moving in a few weeks
The last Layout that I’ve made with my scrapbooking stuff that is now packed away haha By the way, I have to tell you, that I won’t be able to show you a lot scrapbooking things for the next few weeks, because I won’t have any time for my favorite hobby…… sorry…. But I will keep you guys updated Deal??
This Piano Hinge Book I made for the Magazine I work for.
…Also this layout. It just came out TODAY!!
Okay, until I will find some time to write again xoxo, rachel
Once again I was able to create something with Nadine Feil’s German clear stamps. As you can see in the beginning: I had a super boring day….
I have been doing a lot of design team work the last three days (and let me tell you, I still have a few things to do ) and that is why I can’t show you a “real” Layout of mine, even tough I have made a few… So I thought, I could show you a few sneaks of my work
One of the layouts for my 2010 serie “Scrapbooking on a Budget” in the SAZ Magazine
For the same serie… I just loooove this quote!!
I can’t tell you in two words, how much I love my leftover box…….
Doesn’t really have to do anything with DT work Just a random picture…
This is a project my mom and I were working on: a picture wall! I will show you more pictures when we are finished
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND KEEP SCRAPPIN!!!
The spring issue of Scrap Art Zine is coming very soon!! YAY!! Here is the cover, that I can show you of the German Scrapbooking Magazine that I design for. If you would like to get it, please order it HERE.
Then I would like to share with you two new layouts. They are still for the custom order of the wedding album that I work for at the moment.
Would you like to know a secret?? Weeeeeell…… Okay, can you remember my last Video I did, about those German clear stamps?? Sooo… Our cooperation worked out so well, that we decided to work together more often. Nadine asked me, to do another video and after we exchanged a couple e-mails we had a plan that was much much much bigger than just about me doing another video for her
It has to do with clear stamps and with designing… Do you already know??
If your answer was something like “swissgirDesigns clear stamps” you were right!! WE ARE GOING TO PRODUCE MY OWN DESIGNS AS CLEAR STAMPS!!!!! (can you tell that I am totally excited about it….??) Isn’t that absolutly great???
The first stamp set is coming out in April. We are going to sell the stamps on two different places. You can purchase them HERE on my blog OR you go on Nadine’s Online Shop that is located in Germany. If you already love the stamps I suggest you to make a reservation, because we won’t have a ton of them
Volume II is coming out later, but we don’t have a date yet.
I designed them to match together. My goal was also, that you can use my stamps over and over and over again. I hate stamps that look fantastic, but in the end you find out, that you can’t really use them on your projects because they are too large or too whatever. And I hate to spend money on supplies that I don’t use in the end….
So, since I am not very patient, I had to print my Designs out on clear foil and did a Mini Album I can’t show you the whole thing, because it is for my article in the Scrap Art Zine for Summer. I will show you later tough But here are a few peaks
Today I have time to update you guys about my recent life. And guess what! I am having time to do some scrapbooking!! I am working for the Magazine I work for (SAZ). I think I already told you that I got my two own columns and since the deadline is coming faster than I would like it to come I am in a little hurry LOL
Yesterday I ordered my wedding dress!! I am sooo excited about it and I can’t wait until I will be able to hold it finally in my own hands I also did another colorscheme, this time just for my bridesmaids. I did this, because my mom told me, that it would be too hard to find the same dress for all three girls, because in Switzerland this is not usual and we don’t have that many shops where you find those dresses. So I thought that I would send them this scheme, so they see what they should buy. I hope it will work!
I also got my wedding flowers!! Yes, we are going with artifical flowers… 1. It is much much cheaper and 2. I don’t want to have stress with real flowers. You probably know what I mean, right? They get bad so quickly.
Okay, that’s it for today. I hope to be able to show you some layouts or other scrapbooking things the next time
WOW! Those four months have gone by like nothing! I can remember, when I was counting the days until I would leave Canada to see Adrian in California, 43 days ago! And now: California here I come again!! It was kinda funny, some of my classmates even started to count with me I hope, not because they were sick and tired of me LOL
Yeah. The last days were very busy! Packing, canceling my bank account and finishing school.. You know, I was pretty happy to leave the College, but still, I made so good friends and when I had to say goodbye I almost started to cry. But just almost. I am very proud on myself
I can’t even believe, that tomorrow I will see my fiance That’s just crazy! Isn’t it??
*******************
The last days or even weeks were kinda depressing for me, because I was so uncreative. I tried to do some things, but nothing really came out of that stuff. I hate those times. But now, after doing nothing for about a week, I can feel the energy and creativity pounding through my veins I have some ideas of making more videos this Christmas break (for sure, about Scrapbooking!!!) and working for the magazine I design for. (Scrap Art Zine)
I got two columns (or how do you call that, series?), that I will be writing for the next whole year!!! (means, 4 issues = 8 article by Rachel!!!!) Isn’t that great?? I am really happy about it!! And I am glad that I (hopefully) will have time to come up with something really nice!
Okay girls (and boys?), that was just a really quick update of my life. I will be feeding you with more the upcoming days
xoxoxoxo, Rachel
PS!! THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING ME SO MANY AND SO NICE COMMENTS FOR MY LAST VIDEO!!!!!!! IT MADE ME SO HAPPY
PS2 (no, doesn’t mean PhotoShop ) Today when I was weighting my bags I made a GREAT discovery!! I didn’t gain ANY weight the past couple of months!! I am 56kg (or something about that) and that means, that I actually lost four pounds hahaha (I think that is the second reason, why I am so happy right now…….)
Here we go, the new SAZ Cover is out to show people!! Eem, for everyone who doesn’t know that Mag, it is the first German Scrapbooking Magazine in Europe. It is now about three years old and I design for it over a year now. It is growing rapidly and we have new readers for every issue. If you are interested, please visit THIS HOMEPAGE!!

I got a comment yesterday for my last post.
Phoenix: Your wedding decorations & plans sound beautiful! What colors are you going to use?
So I thought, I could answer that question with a little PhotoShop Graphic… By the way, thank you Phoenix for your comment
So, as you can see, the colors for our wedding will be PINK, WHITE AND BROWN/GREEN. The room we are in, is in a rustic brown. It was a horse stable a long time ago, that they renovated. The green color is…. Well, because it is in a botanical public garden and there are of course lots of plants
Adrian already asked me in shock, if that is my wedding dress I am gonna order: NO, for sure not! I can’t really tell you details about it, you know the reason but I can tell you some things: It is very romantic, feminine and innocent. It has lots of delicate enrichments and it has a beautiful sweeheart neckline Oh yeah, and it is strapless.
The Monogram that you can see on the picture, we have used it already for our engagement cards and I want to have it on the invitations and also as a wedding theme – somehow.
