I choose a birthday theme for this first card sketch, with a really cute digi stamp from Bugaboo, colored with some Copic markers.

Recollections papers, washi by Blue Fern, Webster's page and Costco.

Have fun and see you soon !

Girly teen mini scrapbook

Hi scrappy friends !

Are you here for your shot of colors today ? You will have it ! I'm gonna show a mini book I made for my daughter, with a mix of pictures from her first teen's years.  It's colorful, surprising and funny, just like her.

I made the entire album with one kit of papers by K&Company found at "99cts only" (that was a great bargain !) and a mini by Piggy Tales. I bought 2 of their warehouse boxes maybe 2 years ago, and it was filled with minis ! Good bargain too.

A Birthday card

Hi evryone !

Let me share you a card made with my Cricut (my old and well loved Expression). Flowers are from the Mother's day Bouquet, letters from Plantin Schoolbook, shape of the card from Storybook. Papers by Recollections.

I was lucky to find the alphabet that matches almost perfectly the one on the tag. The only problem now is I made this card a little bit too big so it doesn't fit in any of the envelope I have. I will have to make an envelope as well...

I wish you a warm day. Think of me and my non-working-heater-in-the-middle-of-Scottish-winter...
See ya !

S.W.A.T. drill #24

Another challenge for me (I told you this new year gave me energy...) for the SWAT blog this time. The funny thing is I did start this layout this summer with the sketch proposed from Page Maps and wasn't able to finished it until today !

Again pictures from our cruise. I've got so many of them, I don't know if I will be able to finish this album one day ! On this trip, we have visited a turtle farm, and at the end the girls asked to taste coconut milk. We all did, but our daughters didn't like this milk... I have another layout waiting for you with me and my husband sharing the coconut, you will see it on the Feeling Sketchy blog in March.

American Crafts and Recollections papers, Webster's page purple lace, Costco's washi tape, Thickers alpha, Sandylion coconut sticker, and green buttons. Oh, and did find a converter to use my stitching machine !

Wish you a good day !

I love my Copics...

I'm just having so much fun with them. Here is my very last colored creation : a card with a digi I found on internet by Kurtiana. I really love manga girls, and this one will please my youngest (she's into Pokemon right now, and yes a girl can love Pokemon too).

Papers by American Crafts and Recollections. Ribbon by Webster's Page and Target. Copic markers. Orange distress ink by Tim holtz.
I will enter this card for the ABC Challenge DT call and the Crafty Ribbon DT call.

Hope you like it !

A layout for the fun ?

Of course ! I do always have fun when I create. But I also made this one to participate to the 3 Scrappy Boys challenge. I just follow their great sketch and end up with this layout :

Papers by American Crafts and Recollections, white acrylic paint, rubber stamp by Inkadinkado with purple distress ink by Tim holtz, cling stamp by Hero Arts, embossing folder by Tim Holtz, alphabet stickers by Martha Stewart, journaling tag by Elle's Studio, white ink by Memento.

Having both of my daugthers smiling on the same picture is a challenge. So it was a good fit. I love the result !

See ya !

SEI Design Inspiration Challenge

SEI's January challenge has an inspirational photo collage to help us create a project about gratitude :

I did take for myself the colors and the "Thanks" as an inspiration for a card :

I didn't use SEI products (sorry, too few in my stash...), but Bella Blvd papers, flower and alpha stickers.

Thank you Tyra from SEI blog for this inspiration. I promise I will use your products to create a bunch of projects if I win this one... ;-)
