Just five more minutes !

Hello everyone,

Once again, let me thank you for all the amazing comments you leave on here! It's always a great joy for me to read them!!

I didn't manage to take pics of this LO with a great light but I thought I would share it anyway, otherwise, I am never going to post again.. And I want to stop waiting for two weeks between two posts!

So, Echo Park had a sketch inspiration post last week, and I thought I would hop in! I really liked the sketch and I loved the page the designer made out of it! It's funny because my finished page really doesn't look anything like hers! I'm amazed at the different results one can get with the exact same sketch!

Here is the sketch


And here is my take


I pretty much followed it! Once again, the white paint took forever to dry (I don't know why the Calico White Mister Huey ALWAYS does that... When I say forever, I mean forever... It takes more than a day sometimes... Does it do that to you???), so I smeared it a little bit... but I guess that's okay!

And here are a few close-ups:

Haven't added a rosette on a LO in a while! Used Tim Hotlz's die with my Big Shot

Love that felt "swirl", it gives texture and it just looks cool

Put the banner on not-so-thick pop dots. I used white cardstock, sprayed some Mr Huey in Calico Cream, some blue and pink mists.

I sprayed, put a flower and some brads. Oh and some baker's twine on top. Circle sticker is from AC.

I STAMMMPPPED! Used Jenni Bowlin's inks and some Artemio stamps :) And a ribbon for added texture

BoBunny breads :) The sticker underneath is from the "Upcycle" sticker sheet from Cosmo Cricket

STASH USED

* The flowers
* The rosette die :)
* The stickers
* The papers in general

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The bling fell on it, and I really liked how it looked so I just decided to stick it on there! I really like the result :)
* I really like the difference between the two pages! (Mine and the one from the designer.)
* I stamped several times... And that's definitely a good thing!

Anyway, thanks for looking and have a great day or night!!!

Hello everyone,

How have you been? I hope well! In our house, it's been a nice week end :)

I got some time to scrap today, but I think I will take pictures of the LO tomorrow, the lighting is WAY TOO bad tonight.

In the meantime, since I haven't shared in quite a while (AGAIN), I decided to share a card I made for a friend of mine some time ago.

I was inspired by one of Kristina W.'s wonderful cards, but used my own stash to create it (and that feels good as well!).

So, here it is:


*I used a kraft card base and used a post-it note as a mask;
*I stamped the background with Jenni Bowlin's "Brown Sugar" ink;
*I cut four square out of the "Dots and Stripes" collection by Echo Park;
*I cut out four hearts that I put on foam squares;
*I put Glossy Accent on three of them and Stickles in Xmas red on the last one;
*I cut out part of the top layer and put some red cardstock on the right (I had previously used a EK Success border punch on it);
*I stuck one of the stickers of the same Dots and Stripes collection.


Cards are not my forte, but I was not displeased with the result, even if I know there is room for improvement.

STASH USED

* The "Dots and Stripes" collection
* The heart punch

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT

* The glitter :D
* Kraft in general!
* It made my friend happy

TFL and have a wonderful week!

Hello ladies,

First of all, let me thank you for all your kind messages regarding health and scrap. It means a lot to me :)

On a personal note, I wanted to let the world know (that's how happy I am) that I signed my final contract as a permanent employee at first! I am stocked!!! I love this company, I work with a great team... In short, I love my job. For those of you who don't know, I am a translator. I used to work as a freelance, but I needed to try out in a company to have more stability. And so far, I am loving it :)

On a scrappier note, I have a LO to share with you today. I created it for Shimelle's starting point, but as bad as I am, I didn't post it... Stupid, I know! But I am posting it now, so it does make up for it, doesn't it?


So, here is my take


And a few close ups

AC sticker, washi tape and an Amy Tangerine brad!

Thickers, "A boy's life" collection by Echo Park and washi tape again

Put paint from a paint dabber (JB) on a bubble wrap and there you go!

Should have put the BoBunny brad a lil further away but, oh well! The lil sticker for the date if AC

Some twine for a lil texure!

Buttons and hand journaling for a homemade look (as they say)

STASH USED

* Washi tape
* Bubble wrap
* Sticker in the top left corner

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The use of the paint
* The different textures
* The story behind it: that particular day, everytime I left my nephew by himself on his "mat", he would start laughing like crazy... Love him!

Off to bed now ladies, I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love!!!

Oh man, I know I should be ashamed, and I am! I haven't been posting in two weeks! Haven't scrapbooked much either to tell the truth. Fiancé had food poisoning and got a one-week sick leave! I'm not all that sure it was food poisoning since I haven't felt well for a week.... I think he passed whatever he had on to me! ANYWAY! We're all fine now and I decided to scrapbook this week end!

So here is a page I made using the Sunday Sketch by Studio Calico.

 As you can see, it was originally a 8x11 or so, but I made it 12x12! I should try another format some time...

So, here is my take on it:



 And would it be a real post without a few close-ups?

Used WeRMM baker's twine, Sizzix dies for the hearts. PP is BG's "Indie Bloom"

Small letters are Lily bee design, big ones are "Jewelry box" Thickers. Cut out a heart out of vellum to put them together and hand stitched in the middle.

Paper tape is Cavallini & Co.

"Genuine" is from a "Tiny Type" sticker sheet from Cosmo Cricket. Brads are from BG. The shape is a Spellbinder die.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The grey coloured backgroung by Bazill!
* The use of the baker's twine! I love the result :)
* Used my Big Shot quite a lot for this!


STASH USED

* The vellum
* The brads!

Thanks for stopping by!!
