Just five more minutes !

Hello everyone,

I am really happy with my Sunday... Weather was crappy as, but I managed to finish a LO and make three cards.

I am going to share with you today the one I made for one of Two Peas challenges :)

Here is the sketch and original card:


And here is my take:




WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT

* It gave me the opportunity to use some washi! Oddly enough, my collection is growing, but I can't seem to create much with it
* I really love the colours :)
* What I like about cards in general is that it allows you to use your stamps
PRODUCTS USED

The washi and the stamp come from "The sweetest thing" collection by My Mind's eye.


Well, I wish you all a great week, I guess it's time to go to work :)

Hello everyone,

Once again, long time no see! I hate it but I can't seem to reverse the trend! I'll try to do better though!

Today, I am sharing a page I created using a BG sketch!
I stayed pretty true to it :) I liked that it allowed me to incorporate 4 pictures :)
Since those are pictures from my brother's wedding, I used the Hello Luscious collection from BG.

So, here we go:

A double page, not so usual for me!

Left end side. Most of the space is taken up by the pictures.

Right end side.

Used my Big Shot and some SpellBinder die to create this banner. I added faux stitching with a white gel pen

A few cardboard shapes and again, my oh-so-loved Big Shot for the big circle

The top letters are DIY alphas by AC which I coated with Wow glitter in brown. The bottom letters are BG. Originally beige, I painted them in green with Maya Mist to fit my color scheme.

I punched the butterfly with some Martha Stewart punch.

Same SpellBinders die.

Stitching, Big Shot and Martha.

Hello everyone,

What a GREAT name, isn't it? I think "Gaston" is way cute! That name always makes me smile, I don't know why... I always imagine a cute grandpa... But in this case, it's my kitty cat... Or, rather, my cat the day he arrived in my life.

For this page, I haven't used any sketch, but I am sure you can recognize Shimelle's placement for the pics.

There you go:



I am really sorry for the bad pics. We had the choice between "not enough light" or "a huge glare"... So I put both and you can do a puzzle!

And here are a few close-ups:

Used DIY Thickers and Wow glitter in orange! Messy, but I LOOOVE the results!

A few gems, some paint on the cloth-pin, some brads and stamping and there we go! Tried to vary the textures here

Another cloth-pin, some layering and journaling! Love that Darice Hemp cord

More stamping, some brads and gems! And we cannot forget the SC mist of course!

STASH USED

* The pins
* The Mister Huey
* The gems
* The brads
* The ribbon

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* I really love when I like the result of a non-sketch LO
* I tried to vary the textures and I think it worked quite well, without it being too bulky
* How not to mention the Heyday collection by SC!


For my next LO, I stepped a bit out of my comfort zone, and I am quite happy with the result! Be sure to stop by and have a look :)

Have a great week!

Hello everyone,

So, since I was able to get home EARLY from work, I decided that I would schedule a new post.

Today, I am sharing I made without a sketch, using the "Sketchbook" line from Amy Tangerine. I love all the bright and happy colours. Hurts to cut into the pages, but I don't regret it :) I even got the brads and stickers, all the line is just so awesome!

So, here is my LO

I took the picture on my balcony ahah! I'm sorry it looks like it is going to fall :)

And here are a few close-ups

A little bit of fussy cutting, some black enamel. A simple but nice way to dress up a page.

Two stickers, some stamping and off we go!

Are three types of alphas too much? I don't think so :p

Some more stamping and some pages from my Smash book.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The fussy-cutting
* The stamping
* The use of stickers
* The use of my beloved border punch

STASH USED

* I am ashamed of saying: "Not too much" but I would say the border punch and the bits and pieces (jewels and brads).


Thanks for stopping by today, I wish you a wonderful day!

Hello everyone,

Once again, it's been way too long... REALLY LONG!

Today, I am up with a card I created for a friend's birthday this week. At first, I had a whole different idea (I wanted to stamp and colour a heart border) but it bled and I had to re-start everything.

So, I made this CAS card and I LOOOOVE it!










I embossed, stamped, layered and embellished... And TADA!

There you have it, a quick project for my "come-back"... which, I hope, is going to be more regular!

I wish you all a great day and will make sure to read you soon :)

Bye for now,

Johanna

Hello everyone,

It's been a while... but here I am with a new page, created between some biking and room painting!

I started this page with an Imaginisce sketch. I can't participate in the challenge, but I am still sharing the love! :)

So, here is the sketch:


And here is what I came up with:

With a few close-ups:

Some cutting some brads...

Some layering, washi, etc.

Would a LO be complete without Mr. Huey?

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

Hello everyone,

Long time again :) But I am back today with a bright and happy LO I made about my beautiful nephew!!

I used a sketch from BG to make it


And here is my take:


And a few close-ups:

Used S. Tidwell's technique to create banners with washi :) You'll notice that the polka dot circle comes under the red background

Stamped parts of the "Friend" def. by Hero Arts with an Adirondack dabber in Aqua. The tag was cut w/ a Tim Holtz die.

A few Hero Arts and SC ctamps :)

White circle also comes under the background. Same stamps, a few brads.

STASH USED

*All the stamps
* The paint dabber
* The Mister Huey paint
* The washi tape

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The layers
* The stamping
* All the various shapes

That's it for tonight, but I am pretty happy with "it" :)

Here, the weather is getting pretty good... Sunny and all... And I am looking for ways to being able to scrap on the balcony.. What about you, do you scrap outside sometimes??

So, have a greay day and see you soon!! :)

Hello again,

How have you been? I hope your week is going well.

Today, I am sharing a page I created a week ago using the Pyrus collection from BG. Since I only have the 6x6 pad, I had to find a way to use it, and that's what I came up with. I am not sure I am entirely satisfied with it, but it will do for now.

So, there you go:


So, I used four small pages to create quite a busy background.

Here are a few close-ups:

A small cluster at the bottom

I created a small cluster similar to what Shimelle's doing. Used some liquid pearl.

A title using some old glittery Thickers

STASH USED

* The whole Pyrus collection, which I've had for a year at least
* The Thickers

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* First use of Liquid pearls
* I used fibers and chipboard and punches


If you have any ideas to improve this LO, do no hesitate!!!

Thanks and have a great day :)

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to post again last week, but I am going to try and be better... I wonder how many times I've said so...

Anyway, today, I am sharing a boy's page: my wonderful oldest nephew! I don't see him nearly often enough so, when I'm in France, I love spending time and playing with him! (I can't wait for Christmas to come around so I can hold and hug him!)

Anyway, here is the page I made using one of my favorite boy's collection: A boy's life by EP.

I didn't use any sketches for this one, I just went with the flow, and I am pretty happy with the result :)


And a few close-ups

Some stamping with the "Hooray" collection by Hero Arts and Studio Calicco

Used my Big Shot and some misting for this title :)

Used my big shot again, some stamps, stickers, buttons, sewing

And another view :)

STASH USED

* The "corrugated" cardboard
* The buttons
* The stamps and inks (Jenni Bowlin)

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* All the misting (Maya Mist and Mr Huey)
* The various textures (stamping, sewing, buttons, etc.)
* The pop of colour on the dark background

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hello everyone,

Verrryyyy long time no see! But today I am back with a LO about my beautiful niece... I don't even have the date of the picture, I didn't even take it, but I thought she was sooo cute that I couldn't resist scrapping it!

So, I decided to use some EP paper and went for it, without a sketch even, which is pretty rare for me.

And here is what I came up with:


And a few close-ups

I made this flower with some trim, some bubble gum mettalic mist from Maya Road and a brad from the Kraft Funday collection by MME

Misted with some Mister Huey in Calico White. Added some black bling, I like it!

Decided to use some trim for some added texture, some stamping, some washi tape :)

STASH USED

* The trim
* The washi tape
* The back bling

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The collection of PP, it is sooo beautiful
* I love how I mixed up textures with the stamping, the trims and the washi
* I like that I didn't use a sketch
* I love the added black jewels, I feel like it adds the perfect touch!
