Birthday layout

Hello !

Back with a new layout with no mixed media involved ! Can you believe it ?


I cut the red frame out of a DCWV Christmas paper, used my Cricut for the big doilie (Mother's day cartridge) and Spellbinders dies for the leaves.


The blue ornated paper is from a Christmas pad too. The tiny phrases from a Tim Holtz Talk stickers book. Nothing new on this layout !

Next time I will show you few more cards I made to send to Scrapbook.com for their Cards for Kindness initiative I talked you about previously...

See you soon then !

Cards for Kindness

Hello there !

Remember the cards I made to thanks people during stay-at-home order ? Well, Scrapbook.com reach a new level in cards sharing with the Cards for Kindness™ initiative !
You can send a minimum of 10 cards with different themes, and Scrapbook.com will distribute them to cancer foundations, hospitals, shelters, retirement homes, children's homes and other organizations in need to be use by nurses, doctors, staff members, counselors, parents and volunteers who add handwritten messages of encouragement and love before giving them to patients, children and other people in need.

So I will send a bunch of them, and here are some of those that I made yesterday :


I used a lovely but retired paper pad by Recollections (Flora Festival) along with few retired border punches and dies. The rest is fussy cutting...


I loved these bright colors and the metallic accents !




They mostly need A2 handmade cads with matching envelope. You can read about this initiative on their website.

I will make few more before sending my package... It's a great way to spread kindness !

Have a wonderful day, and see you soon...

Colors and Doodlings

Hello there !

While digging into my stash to find papers to match a picture, I found a very old lovely but difficult to use paper kit that I really love. It matches perfectly the style I wanted for this picture too (teenagers on it so nothing girly or flowery...) :


The papers and die cuts are from the Lucky You collection by Colorbök. It reflects perfectly the mood of the picture. We went for a ride on a mountain electric scooter and we had so much fun !

I don't know for you, but routine had not change much since the stay-at-home order was lift. Everyone in the house is working on line (work, school, college, even me with Skype hypnosis session !). The main change is the puppy we fostered (Sunny) has been adopted, so I have more time for myself (see Friends for Life for details on fostering or adopting) and for crafting...

See you soon for another project.
Take care...
