Just five more minutes !

Hi everyone,

A dear friend of mine mentioned that I hadn't posted in forever... And now I see that it's been a month again... SOOOooOOOO, I guess it's time for me to post, indeed!

If everything goes well, my fiancé and I should get married in Sept. in France. I am planning on displaying a few pages as a decoration :) Since my family is from France and his is from Tunisia, telling our story means telling our everyday.. And this includes my lovely kitty cat!


For this page, I used a Studio Calico sketch. It was pretty simple but I love those kind of grid designs. And, for once, I'm happy with the result :)

Here are a few close-ups.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* I machine stitched
* I made mistakes and I was not afraid of starting again
* I hand stitched
* I stamped
* I used mists (to paint the Pink Paislee "G"
* I created my own embellies (the circles and stars on the right, the ticket at the top)

PRODUCT USED

* Papers are from Basic Grey, the Serenade collection
* Stamps are Hero Arts and Aladine

Short and sweet... But better than nothing :) Maybe I should try that more often!

How is your summer going by the way?? Do you have any fun planned?

See you soon (I hope!)

Hello everyone,

See, aren't I gettn better? I didn't let three months go by this time!!

I'm here today with a monochromatic layout I created recently. It makes me really happy for various reasons: 1- I have been wanting to create a monochromatic LO for a while, 2- I used some stuff from many different collections :)

Soooooo, without further ado, there you go:

I had fun without mists on this background! What I did is that I put a bit of mist on the top and bottom, and then I blew with a straw. And this created this fun pattern.

I decided to be a bit more creative. So, even if I had no power on the outcome, I decided to use it anyway! And I think I really like the result.

Here are a few close-ups

A close-up of the misting and stamping. I created this pennant shape free-hand. The mist orange mist is Maya Road.

My first FLAIIIIR! Some journaling spot. Some more stamping. Makes me happy!

I used the little strip of the 6x6 pad, hence the little hole. The orange sticker is from the "Snap" collection from MME.

What I like about this LO:

• I used many different collections. When you look for one colour, it seems to me that's it's really easier to find different papers.
• I tried my hand at some "artsy stuff". I really like the result of the blowing on the misting.
• I manage to integrate various things I like (the strip on the left hand side, the clusters)
• I used some scraps!!

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,

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
