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!

Since I've been in France for 1 and a half month or so, I haven't been able to scrapbook or blog... So tonight, I decided to take the time to do so and to share a project I made some time ago!

I really loved this pic. of my sis and her daughter and I thought it didn't need much... They were so beautiful! When "scrapbook-shopping", I found a Bazzill template... I said to myself: "this is exactly what I need!". I just added a few buttons and TADDA: perfect!

Have a look for yourself








Here is a list of the supplies used:

• PP (no cardstock, the base is also made out of PP): Snowy sidewalks - Glitter + Merry Mistletoe – Varnish
• Buttons: From the stash (bought in bulk at Walmart)
• Stamps (Mom & Daughter): Sentiments I by Impression Obsession
• Rub-on for the title: Unknown
• Little flowers: Spaghetti Pillow Sticker Frames Flip Pack by K&Company

See you soon!

Hello everyone,

As I promised (even if I said yesterday), I am going to show you a LO I created a few days ago. I have to admit that I followed a pretty simple (which I can't find anymore... It stressed me so much I didn't even note it down!). Well, I loved the sketch and I thought everything would go great! W-R-O-N-G.

As you may not know (why should you?), I found a GREAT scrapbook store in the West Island. Pretty far but totally worth it. My heart started racing when I entered it... For the full story, please go there.

Of course, I wanted to use some of the goodies I had found... Namely the alpha stamp I got, which is amazing! But the ink didn't work out so well and I ended up king of ruining the picture... Then, I tried to erase the ink on the pic. with a wet cloth but it ruined the PP. So I had to alter the sketch and found a solution to hide the mess. Now that I think about it, I should have taken pics of the mess but I didn't think about it at the time (wonder why), so I'll just show you the final result.




Well, all the mess is hidden behind the title (Bun) and the clutter of paper/washi tape which is under it (2d picture).

I have to admit that I'm not disgusted with the result at all. Plus, I used washi tape... I love it but I am always scared of using it (same thing with embellisments)... I always think I am going to mess everything up if I add something.

Today I decided that I would add what I like about the LO I am going to post from now on.

So...


* The fact that I managed to fix the problems
*The washi tape
* The sewing on the right ('cause I used the We R Memory Keeper "SewEasy" thingie).

Supplies used (I'm getting all modern, you can click on the links... Some day, I may even put pictures, who knows!):

Hope you like it anyway!
