Just five more minutes !

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 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 and happy new week!

I hope everyone has had a great week end! As far as I am concerned, I have been trying to keep it pretty calm since I had a crazy week at work, and I know the next one won't be any different. But, on the other hand, I love the new responsibilities I have, it makes my job that much more interesting since it's more diversified! Who thought a translator's life could be so exciting?!

Now, onto scrapping!! This week, there was no sketch on the BG blog... They decided to give us a LO and asked us to scraplift it... Well, no need to say one more word! I mean, the designers over at Basic Grey are nothing short of AMAZING, so if you give me the chance to scraplift one of their LOs, I'll gladly oblige you! It's like leaving me in my favorite shop and tell me to take anything for free... But, I am dreaming right now... too bad though!

So, here is the sketch to scraplift:


And here is my take.. If I may say so..


What? REALLY scraplifted? ME???? Noooooooooooooooo

So, here are a few close-ups

I didn't have that beautiful flower, so I made my own with some fabric I got at Walmart.  See how I sprayed the tags with some Glimmer Mist? I used some spellbinders as masks/stencils.

I used the same Glimmer mist on all the papers, so they would "feel the same", even if they already come from the same collection. I used "Iced spruce" distress ink around all of them too.

See how I dared using gems?! I'm happy because I downloaded the "Typewriter font" on Dafont.com! I love it :) I haven't written my journaling on the computer in forever but I love the clean look it gives to the page!
