Just five more minutes !

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,

Again, it's been a while... I'd like to say that I promise to get better, but I say so every time I post... so... Plus, my father, stepmother and sister are coming to visit next week (arriving on the 6th), so I know I won't be able to do much scrapbooking/blogging!

Anyway, onto my new LO!

I played for the "Once upon a sketch challenge"... We had to write about something we miss... Well, I miss my lovely nephew... every day... So I thought he would make for a great subject!

Here is the sketch:



And here is my take:


And a few close-ups:





WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* I am happy I used various materials: stick pins, crackle paint, embossing folder
* I don't know why but, even if I love MME papers, I always have a hard time using them... And here I did, and I'm happy with the result!
* I have been waiting to buy a notebook border punch for a while

STASH USED

* The yellow rick rack on which I applied Distress stain (I wanted to tone it down)
* The brown Thickers

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!!!
