Just five more minutes !

Hello everyone,

I really hope that you had a wonderful christmas, full of joy, laughters and love... (and presents, who am I kidding?).

I haven't been posting in a while... I hadn't any motivation to scrap either... Weirdly enough, I wanted to scrap but I had no motivation... Tired maybe, I don't know!

Today, I am sharing a LO I made for the Shimelle's Nov. class over at 2Peas. Since she posts on the 30th of each month, it is still November!

I really love her work, so I'm really happy to be able to include 11 pics in my LO... I really need to do that for my brother's wedding so...

Anyway, here is my take:




And here are a few close-ups:

Left side

Center... With AC journaling tag

Center. I made the shipping tag and stuck a AC sticker and a chipboard flower from BG

Right side

Ladies and... well, ladies,


A quick post tonight for a quick LO I made! But before I start, I wanted to thank you for your wishes, I do feel better (I still have that cold but I won't let it get me down soooo, back in the scraproom!).

I used a sketch from "Sketchy Thursdays" and I felt quite inspired! I hope I can still enter the challenge, but that's not even sure ahah!



Anyway, I used pictures of my cherished niece... all dressed up for my brother's wedding last year!

I am pretty happy with the result because, for once, I managed to shake things up a little!

See for yourself:

Wow, the orange letters are not that stark/bold in real life lol.

And a few close-ups:




Man, poor colours, aren't they?! But since I've been working, it seems I'm never home during daylight! But worry not, I do look through the window sometimes at work!! (There is a HUGE building in front of mine, but I can see some sky... Plus, I like to look out and see what the people in front of us do!)

Oh... and... isn't her dress GORGEOUS??? My fiancé brought it back from Canada when he came to France for the wedding (I say "he" because I left Canada before him to see my family and help out...).

Wait a sec, Gaston the kitty cat wants to climb! Oh well, away he is gone!!

So, back to our usual categories:

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The huge roses. Some people might say it's an easy way to embellish a page, but I find them quite hard to place right! I think it's the first time I manage to put them right in the middle of a LO. I was getting desperate because my "sheets" of chipboard are nearly full!

* You can't see it much but I did some REAL sewing with my mini cutie sewing machine... it's NOT straight AT all but everything can't be perfect the first time! And I'm sure it will be fun to remember in a few years.

* The fact that I didn't follow the LO to the letter... It's hard for me to step out of my comfort zone!

* Oh, and it's the first time I FINALLY use the border sheet from this collection! I always use the B side!

STASH USED

* The huge chipboard flowers! I've had them for quite some time now...
* The big rhinestones


Well, thanks for having stopped by! And sorry for the bad lighting in the pictures (bad bad winter... there's not even snow in here!!).

See you later!!! :)

Hello everyone,

I hope your week started well and that you all get time to do what you like!

Today, I am sharing with you a card I created last night. For this one, I used a sketch from "Freshly made sketch". I would have entered it for "Less is more" but I missed the deadline, silly me (I got mixed up with CAS-ual Fridays).

So, here is the sketch:


And here is my card:


And here are a few close-ups:



WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT

* The non-traditional colours!
* The huge chipboard element

STASH USED

NONE.. WHAT??? Again?! Yes, I confess...

Hello ladies,

Hello everyone,

How is your week going? Mine is alright... I went to work, came home and did some cleaning up so, nothing fabulous!

I want to share a card I created for this week CAS-ual Fridays. It's really fun 'cause we get to play Tic Tac Toe!!


So, I chose "Scallops", "Kraft" and "Aqua".

Before I show you my card, I want to remind you of a LO I created some time ago! It was (and probably still is) my favorite... It showcased my beautiful badass niece with her scratched knee!

The reason why I wanted you to remember it is because I took inspiration from the scrapbook page to create today card!

So, there you go!




WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT

* I like the fact I used stickers for the sentiment. Even if there are big, I think it works well!
* I am really about it because it's the first time I manage to translate a LO into a card... And I love it! It's bright and colourful... You may notice that I changed border punches to adapt the border to the size of the card.

STASH USED

* The papers and stickers
* The border punch... I don't use them enough I think!
* The buttons!
* Does it mean... "everything"?

SUPPLIES

* Card base: Autumn Leaves
* Papers and stickers: "Dots and Stripes - Candy shoppe" from Echo Park

Hello everyone,

Today, I am sharing a LO I created for Shimelle Laine's sketch of the week.

I used BG Life of the party paper, together with Echo Park (Dots and Stripes collection) and AC stickers. I blinged it up and there you go.

I must say that I am pretty happy with the result. For once, I managed to cluster it pretty well :p

So, here it is... Excuse the poor quality of the picture but, even if I took it during the day, the light was sooo bad. Anyway, there you go:


With a few close-ups










STASH USED

* The stickers. I've had the EC collection and the "Remarks" stickers for a long while, so I was happy to use them.
* The stamp "J'adore"
* Even the alphas

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT

* The clustering
* The colours... It's bright and nice

SUPPLIES USED

For a list of some of the supplies used, please see my 2Peas Gallery

Before I say goodbye, I want to share with you my desk... I know it's not Wednesday, but I don't think it's ever been this bad!!



Okay now, have a great week everyone!!

Hello ladies,

I am feeling good tonight because I managed to spend a few hours (with Gaston the kitty cat) in my scrapping room! I created one LO and three cards... Not much really but considering what I've been able to create lately, it's a lot!

Today, I want to share the card I made for Mojo Monday #217

I chose the square version, and here is my take:

I used Crayola glitter glue to give a little shine and a little texture to his hat! I used watercolor pencils for the whole image

Decided to stamp the sentiment inside. After all, why not?

STASH USED

* Well, I bought a huge pack of AC ribbon, so I'm happy to be using it!
* I have had that WeRMM floss for a while, so, same thing!

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT

* I bought those stamps to colour a bit... I didn't know if I would like it, but I do! Plus, those watercolour pencils are really easy to use!
* BASIC GREY paper of courrrrrrrrrrrse!!!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick message to show you a page I created last night using of one BG's templates!

I adapted it to match the collection I had! And it even works for their "challenge" of the month: stitching :)

So, here it is



And here are a few close-ups

Used Tim Holtz's thingie!

STASH USED

* Border punch (Fiskars)
* Buttons

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT

* The colours
* Even if there are flowers, it's not too feminine, I think

SUPPLIES

Everything, except for the buttons and the border punch, comes from the "Life of the Party" collection from BG.

Hello ladies,

See how good I am this week? I managed to post twice already (three times even :p).

So, here are the two pages I created for Shimelle's challenge over at 2Peas. Kind of a last minute project but I was happy to be able to include 10 pics in 2 pages since I am not sure I'll have enough of this amazing Fancy Pants collection for my vacations in Spain!

Since I didn't have those kind of page protectors, I just stuck my pics directly on my 12x12 sheet! But problem is: my pics are NEVER 6" tall, I don't know why, So I had to "cheat".

Anyway, here are my pages

You can't really tell from the pic but there's a rub-on next to Siurana... It's small and cute, and it says: "Love"

Who doesn't love a bit of hidden journaling?

Love that glittery bird die cut!

And a few close-ups


Sorry about the saturated colours and the bad lighting but it's already dark when I finish work, so...

I decided not to embellish too much! I tried to make it nice though...

STASH USED

None really, nearly everything came from the Fancy Pants collection

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THOSE LO

* They are flat, and that's great because the album is SOOO bulky! That's because of my lovely rosettes!
* I like how it's still colourful and lovely without much! The pictures really come first. (It felt like doing more collage than scrapping ahah). And I think those kind of pictures really worked for this kind of LO... Less busy than pictures with people...

SUPPLIES

Please see my 2Peas gallery

I hope you like it! I'm going to get some sleep before work tomorrow... Today was Tuesday and I was already tired... I blame the weather!!

TFL and have a fantastic day (I think it will be tomorrow when you read this). :)

Hello again blogging friends,

So, here is another card I created for the CAS-ual Friday. See this post to have the guidelines.

It didn't turn out as well as in my head... Maybe the card was too big or... I don't know. Anyway, I thought I would share it anyway because I'll be sending it for sure and because we can't always share our victories, can we?

So, here it is

I think my cat is WAY MORE beautiful than all those girls you see on those TV games!

So, I found those XMAS washi tapes at Omer De Serres (for those of you who know), I stamped and embossed (in silver, as you can see) a Hero Arts greeting and some Artemio snowflakes.

There is no really stash used or anything, so you won't see my usual sections here...

TFL everyone! OOOHHH and US friends, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Hello ladies,

AGAIN, it's been a while since my last post!! But, to make up for it, I'll post twice today (this card and another one).

I made this card for a colleague of my fiancé. She's the one who gave us the cat, so I thought a thank you card was more than appropriate! I mean, it's been one and a half week and I couldn't live without him already... *sigh*

(Can you feel the sentimental moment??)

This card was inspired by this post by the amazing Kristina Werner. I have to admit that I used the exact same concept but used the products I had on hand to create my card.

As you will see, I used the rub-ons from the Fancy pants collection I use to make my Spain LOs. But since those are summer LO, there is no room for those gorgeous flowers or this cute "Thank you". So, I thought: "BE CRAZYYY, use the items from your collections to create a card"... And I love the result!!

So, without further ado (do you even write this that way... too tired to check right now), here is my card:



STASH USED

* This border stamp from TPC studio. I think this must be one of the first stamp I ever bought and I don't think I ever used it! But K. always has great ways to use those kind of stamps, and I love it!

* To create that brown border on the right, I took a scrap of kraft paper and I spread "Brown sugar" ink from Jenni Bowlin all over it!

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS CARD

* The colour... I'm really into kraft! *LOOOOVE IT* (not as much as Gaston the car, but still).
* The general result
* I'm really happy I use those rub-ons.. I hate when stuff goes to waste!

SUPPLIES

* There are mentioned here and there, but if you ABSOLUTELY want a list, please visit my gallery on 2Peas.

TFL! :)

Hello ladies,

I am so sorry I am not more available but I was so used to working at home that I feel like I have no time to myself now. But I absolutely don't regret it, I love working in a company, with great people.. And it's great having a set schedule too!!

But onto the little scrapbooking I managed to do last week end. I created a LO using three pictures I *LOVE*. I took them in Barcelona this summer, in the Gothic neighbourhood. I fell in love with this mix of styles and generations... So I decided I would create a LO. The sketch I used comes from the March "4x6 photo love" class given by Shimelle.

So, here it is.


And a few close-ups.

The big square tag comes from FP, the round one is from AC and the one under the title is a Spellbinder die cut

My lovely rosettes! I'll have to stop, this album is going to get WAY TOO bulky!

Found this ribbon at Walmart, love it!

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* I tried to mix genres, like in the picture. So I used a "lacy" ribbon with some pretty straight and modern lines. I used a mix of English and French in the title.

* I love the colours... Well, this collection by Fancy Pants is wonderful, I must say :)

STASH USED

* The buttons
* The ribbon
* The alphas
