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,

REALLY quick post today to share a card I made for my cousin's birthday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the big even :( but I wanted to send him a nice card anyway!

I bought a 6x6 BoBunny paper pad some time ago coz it was so stinkn' cute! So I knew exactly what paper I wanted to use :) And then, I tried to come up with a card on my own, no sketch or anything.

And here is the result:


I layered four hearts one on top of each other. Then, I stamped my sentiment and cut it into a banner shape. I wanted another "Congratulations" one at first, but it was too long, so I settled for this one. I also inked all the edges with "Broken China" distress ink. What is it with this blue that makes it so amazing? I also had a beautiful heart stamp that I had never really used, so I stamped it in the inside :). And I finished it off with the three rhinestones, to break the monotony!


STASH USED

* Rhinestones
* The stamps
* The distress inks


WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS CARD

* I came up with it without a sketch, was all in my little head
* I LOOOVE using 6x6 paper pads, don't know why

Hello everyone,

I really hope that you had a wonderful christmas, full of joy, laughters and love... (and presents, who am I kidding?).

I haven't been posting in a while... I hadn't any motivation to scrap either... Weirdly enough, I wanted to scrap but I had no motivation... Tired maybe, I don't know!

Today, I am sharing a LO I made for the Shimelle's Nov. class over at 2Peas. Since she posts on the 30th of each month, it is still November!

I really love her work, so I'm really happy to be able to include 11 pics in my LO... I really need to do that for my brother's wedding so...

Anyway, here is my take:




And here are a few close-ups:

Left side

Center... With AC journaling tag

Center. I made the shipping tag and stuck a AC sticker and a chipboard flower from BG

Right side

Hello lady friends,

Today, I want to share with you two LO. While browsing the BG blog, I noticed several halloween "digital sketches" they shared and I thought: "Why not make those sketches my own with my stash and pics?"

And here is what I came up with



As you may notice thanks to the clothes worn in the pics and the collection of papers I used, those pictures were taken, yet again, during my brother's wedding... And I'm not finished! I really need to find sketches with more pics inside or I'll never finish up with this :)

And here are a few close-ups

I thought I'd add "a few" butterflies to add movement to the page. Used a Picture Punch punch

And a little more... You'll notice that I tried to decorate them...

Fiskars border punch

This sticker comes from the "Sweet Thread" collection

For this title, I used an Autumn Leaves stamp set. I heat embossed each letter, cut them out and glossy accented them.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THOSE LO

* Well, I like not having used any white plain cardstock as a background... As I said, I like it sometimes, and sometimes, it bothers me
* You'll notice a thin/not so thin gray border on each LO. Well, I tried to bring back this colour inside (with the colour of the embossing powder in the title of M. & Mme and in the colour of the title in "Papa et maman" (it seems black here but it's not, it's also gray)
* I bought this "Man, Oh, Man" die set from Sizzix (alpha of "Papa et maman") and I'm in love with it! Plus, I'm SOOO happy to be using my Big Shot... I've had a hard time using it at first, but now, I can't seem to stay away from it!

STASH USED

* The butterfly punch
* The sweet thread sticker

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to share this LO today for so many reasons... First, I liked this pic of my brother and his wife... Second, it's the first time I scrap a 5*7 picture! Last, but not least, I was with my mom while scrapping. I don't know if you know but I live in Canada... However, I have no family here, they all live in France! And man do I miss them all!!!! But that particular day, I was skyping with my mom... She was scrapping in France and I was scrapping here in Can... So, it was nearly like a crop ahaha :)

Anyway, long story short, it was a great LO to create!!

It's been quite a while but I've used a Creative Scrappers sketch for this one:


And here is my take:


As you can see, I didn't put much embellishments because the PP was heavy enough... So, I let it "do the talking" (I wrote that in my 2Peas gallery and I liked it so I thought I would say it again :-D !)

Here are a few close-ups

Used Bazzil template and floss

I used Crayola yellow glitter glue

A simple button and WRMK floss

Just a few pearls for good measure :D

STASH USED

* The Bazzil products... I don't know why but I don't often get arount to using it!
* The red ribbon

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The texture and the framing of the floss
* All the colours and the fact that PP can act as embellies (in my opinion at least)

SUPPLIES

See my 2Peas gallery and the notes under the pics.

Wow, it must be the first time I post twice the same day... BUT... here is a LO I created for Creative Scrappers (sketch #178)


And here is my take on it (I don't know if I like it too much but I thought I would share anyway)


And a few close-ups

Used a polka dot stamp and some distress stains STASH USED * The Martha Stewart flowers * The alphabet punch used to create the "the" WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE LO * The use of distress stains (I like the water colour look) SUPPLIES * Please see my 2Peas gallery  TFL!!!

So, here I am, blogging before going to bed...

Today, I thought I would share a project a tiny bit "different"... It's still a LO, but different because I took two different sketches and made a 2-page LO out of them... So, here they are:

1st page

2d page

And here is the result


And, of course, a few close-ups:

Sticker from my stash! looks good over here I think :)

Love the size of those pics! I didn't even have  to resize them!

I covered the chipboard with Colorbox pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder!

Who doesn't like a lil cluster?

VARIATIONS FROM THE SKETCHES

* I had to change the place of the "big boxes" of paper in order to make them match...
* I adeed a brown line around the whole design to "tie it" together
* I had to continue the borders of one page on the following page (the orange one for ex. or the green one at the top)
* I added clusters of embellies at the left top corner and right bottom corner (too empty otherwise)
* On the right, I had to put the two pics together because of the orange border... It looked weird to have it go under them and have them separate
* I put those big yellow thingies instead of stars on the right in order to match them with the three on the left
* There may be other changed but I guess we have the main ones here!

THINGS FROM MY STASH


* The fiskars border punch I don't use enough
* The chipboard letters I have left from my International clocks project
* The "Vive les mariés stickers"! It's old and I don't even remember where it comes from!


WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* I am happy to be able to really modify a sketch in order to suit my needs
* Chipboard letters for the title
* Don't know why, but I really like the left page!

SUPPLIES

* Border punch: Fiskars Effervescence punch
* Big yellow thingies: Cabochons by Mark Richards
* Green bling on the letters: Rhinestone elements by Mark Richards
* Clear embossing powder: Top boss clear embossing powder
* For the remaining supplies, please visit my 2Peas gallery.

TFL and have a wonderful day!!!

Hello, blogging friends,

I didn't intend to post a LO today but.... I finished one and I have a question for you!!!

First things first, let me show you the sketch from Creative Scrappers I used:

Pretty cute uh!

And here is my take:


A few close-ups (for good measure):

I've been loving mixing fonts lately

Rub-on flower

Anoter rub on flower

Rub-on embellishment as well!

Even if I didn't make a double page (I didn't think I'd scrap this pic at first, I used flowers as embellies in order to coordinate with this LO I made some time ago).

So, QUESTION IS


Shoud I, or should I not, take off those two girl sticker at the bottom right corner? At first, I didn't want to put them but I realize the space was looking empty and I felt lazy so I didn't want to re-do my journaling.

So, what do you think? ON or OFF?

STASH USED

Not much, I have to admit... But I've had this yellow ribbon and this BG brad for a long time... So it kind of counts, doesn't it?

WHAT  I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* At first, I wanted to put Star embellies to coordinate with some other LO (hadn't thought about the one I linked at first)... So I sew a start at the top right corner... Then, I saw the "You make me smile" rub-on and I thought that would be better... BUT I had holes which didn't get covered by the tag... So, I had to fight and find a way to cover up the holes while having something look nice.. And I think it pretty much worked, doesn't it?

* I think rub-on can seem awkward, all flat on a page... So I like putting them on paper and cut around them... Takes more time but it gived it more dimension I think!

SUPPLIES

* PP: BG "Hello Luscious" Collection
* Rub-ons: BG "Hello Luscious" Rub-on book
* Brad: "Hello Luscious" glazed brads by BG (I didn't remember it was HL, good surprise!)
* Ribbon: Offray MicroSpool
* Stickers (heart and ladies): "Upcycle" sticker sheet from Cosmo Cricket
* Tag sticker (under flower on the left): "Sweet thread" sticker sheet from BG
* Alphas:
                  * "Focus": "Marquise" Thickers in red, by AC
                  * "Out of": Silver Mini Alpha by ATD
* Ink: "Tattered Rose" distress ink, by Ranger
* Border punch: "Threading water" by Fiskars
* Red pearl: From the stash

TFL and let me know what you think!!!!!
