Happy Monday !

Once in a while, Monday start with good news. Usually, it's just my cleaning-cooking-washing routine, but today I can add the happy dance to it... The new Life.Paper.Scrapbook issue is finally out and I did find one of my layout on page 73 ! Happy dance again.


Another thing to share with you is my new official Facebook page ! I don't want to brag that I'm an artist. I just want to share my projects with everyone in a separate FB page than my personal one. So you don't have to be my friend to see what I'm creating, and I will not flowing you with pictures of my dog ;-).


Now I can go to my routine (Argh!) and you can go too...
Wish you an happy Monday !

Gorjuss canvas

On Monday night, I have finished my last project and my desk was clean. And I felt a little weird. Usually, there is always two or three projects I need to work on, and my desk is never clean.
For few second the next day, I thought I will start my ribbon organization (cutting spool chipboards and transfer every ribbon I got, then organize them by color...). but nah ! Instead I grab my new stamp set and play with it...
On the same day, I found some cute mini canvas (3x3"), and they were perfect for a quick project.

I felt in love with this Gorjuss stamp set when I first saw it in store and couldn't leave without buying it. It's very unusual for me. I always think three or four times before buying anything. I did check the other stamp set and now I want more, but for those I will overthink...

So first I stamped this little cute girl on white paper and colored her with my Copic markers before cutting the stamp. I did covered one canvas with pink and purple distress ink (Holtz), then stamped a Prima Marketing design in purple (Fairy Belle collection). I distressed the mini roses (Prima Marketing) with purple. I stamped the leaves on a green paper (Woodware with Memento black ink).

The border came with the set, so I stamped and colored it before using it around the frame. It's really cute. I have absolutely no idea of what I will do with that. But I want to make another one...

Go do some craft now...

Graphic 45 tags

Hello !

I hope you all have a beautiful week end ! Our was a little bit surprising concerning the weather : sunny morning on Sunday, strong wind, snow 5mn, bright sunny again 15mn, snow storm 15mn, sunny... The wind is gone now, so I hope we can stick with sun for the week, but temperature has not recovered from this crazy day. Never mind ! I will stay home and do craft !

Speaking of which, I did some craft during the week end, with the leftovers from my Graphic projects : tags !

I just add some distress ink, ribbons and Prima Marketing flowers et voila ! Oh, just so you know, the small envelope was made with a McGill jumbo punch (I love this one, found it many years ago in a Tuesday Morning, never leaved my side since...).

I send you sunny thoughts. May those brighten your day !

Mar. IARDC : Spring !

Did I miss Spring ? I hope he will stay for more than day...He wasn't here yesterday, but did stop by today : beautiful sunny day ! To encourage him to stay, I should send him this card !

I made it with a Flonz stamp, Copics, Martha Stewart mold, Webster's Page lace, papers by K&Company, flowers by Recollections, Prima aMarketing and I Am Roses...To match the card, I did colored the white lace (hobby Lobby), the clay forms, flowers and leaves with a purple marker. The scalloped frame is cut with decorative scissors.

Do you think Spring is gonna like it and will stay forever ?


I will enter this card to the I Am Roses challenge for the purple/green combo. Wish me luck...

Greetings from Scotland !

This is the sentiment on my new card, made using Webster's Page lace, Prima Marketing flowers and an Some Odd Girl stamp with Copic :

This grayish blue and this yellowish green are the exact color of Scottish landscape ! I didn't put a lot of shade as the sun is a little pale over here... But even if it's 30F degree outside, you will see everybody in short sleeve if it's a sunny day !

If you like this Odd Girl, you can find Week end Kaylee in the files attached to the free ebook from Some Odd Girl website. You can download it here. I add a wall digi behind her, as we can find so many in Scotland...

Wish you a great day !

Color Me Scrappy Challenge #58

Hello !

Here we are for another color challenge with Color Me Scrappy ! 

Give it a try, you could win a great prize. You have until the end of this month...

I have to tell, I did struggle to insert blue into this layout. I try letters, journaling spot, flower centers, even blue gel pen... It finally hit me : butterflies ! And it fit perfectly...

I use black chalkboard paper by DCWV, Sakura white gel pen for the doddling, Prima Marketing flowers, pearls by Recollections and Doddlebugs, alpha stickers by Webster's Page, and a small butterfly stamp by JB. 

Tips of the day : I use the Martha Stewart circular cutter on the picture. Best result for a 4x6 picture : cut at 3 15/16". And at 4 1/8" for the round mat. If you are not sure where to place the center, try first using your finger instead of the cutter to visualize the circle.

Have a good day !

Feeling Sketchy challenge #84

Good morning !

Another great card sketch for this challenge by Feeling Sketchy ! Flower and ribbon sound just right for me !

Here is my contribution as one of their DT members :

I know, it looks like Valentine's card, but who says you can only send love on February ?

I use a blank white card with K&Company paper, Recollections roses, baker twine and lace found at Hobby Lobby. I put some pink paper with a tiny stamp behind the small trinkets (Jewelry Fundamentals) and cover the inside with Glossy Accents.

Come and play with us with this sketch, you can win some goodies from Molossi and The Trinket Track !

See ya !
