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.

Center

Bottom right

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,

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,

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!

Hello ladies,

I'll tell you without shame (or just with a little shame) that I did a massive haul on Sunday! Heaps of yummy goodies I fell in love with or have been dying to have for a while! Just because I love you all, I'll make a brief list (I would be too ashamed to take pics):

* Jenni Bowlin paint dabbers
* Maya Mists
* On the Edge die by Tim Holtz
* Spellbinders dies (the classical scalloped circle dies and sprockers)
* "A Boy's Life", the new collection by Echo Park
* Some ribbon
* The "Hooray" stamp set by Hero Arts
* Two Amy Tangerine fabric paper sheets
*Some Amy Tan's goodies
* A few sheets of small alphas (among others, a sheet with multiple colours by Lilly Bee Design)
* I'll stop here... Shame is coming up! But I'll let you know when using the products :p


Anyway, I got home, looked at my goodies for a while, and started a LO with the EP collection! And man do I love it (the collection and the result). I haven't been scrapping my lovely nephew in a while because I was feeling like I didn't have the right paper... And well, PROBLEM SOLVED!

For this LO, I started with a sketch by "Creative Scrappers" (#192)

I'll have to admit that the result is FAR from the sketch! But I'm pretty proud of that too... Not sticking to a sketch can be hard for me.

So, here is it:


And, of course, a few close-ups

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...

SUPPLIES

For a list of supplies, please see my 2Peas gallery

Hello ladies,

First of all, a lil happiness to begin with this week! Let me introduce you to Gaston, the newest addition to our family! (Please excuse the quality of the picture but it was taken at night and I was a lil excited :p)



On a scrapbookier note, let me show you a card I created for a "CAS-ual Fridays" challenge (my first ever).



And here is my take


And a few close-ups

"Weathered Wood" Distress ink

"Chipped Sapphire" Distress ink

"Broken China" Distress ink

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS CARD

* The white colour. To be honest, I chose it in the first place because I have a hard time finding the right coordinating colours, PP, but I like the final results

* I had used the sentiments of this stamp set but not the designs. Now, I only have one bauble left to use! *HAPPY ME*



STASH USED

* None really... Except if you consider inks like stash!

TFL!!

Hello everyone,

So, I've been working at this great company for a few days now... I am a bit tired (it takes time to get used to the pace of things) but I'm happy and I managed to create a card last night before I went to bed.

I created it for the Mojo Monday challenge of the week.


And here is my take on it, a rather unconventional Xmas card if you ask me... (Wait, what? You didn't ask? Well, I said it anyway... Ahah I am soo funny at 7 A.M.)

And two close-ups

A lil BG brad to dress up my rosette!

A lil embossing with my Big Shot to give it texture. I didn't have xmas texturing plates/folders though

As you may have noticed, a problem happened with the glossy accent (or the equivalent I have). Something fell on it during the drying process overnight and it left a square mark. Well, before I go, I'll put some glossy accent on this part. If the mark disappears, great.. Otherwise, I'll glossy the whole thing again tonight. I'll let you know how it goes!!


STASH USED

* The AC PP. I've had it for quite a while, since the beginning of this year, when I got seriously into scrapbooking.
* The texturing plate I used. I think I must have used them twice and I'm happy to finally be able to!!

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROJECT
* The way the brad dressed up the rosette
* The PP used for the rosette! It ties in the whole card since it has all the right colours

Well, that's all for now... Let's brush my teeth and go to work!

Have a wonderful day :)
