70% off @ Michaels !

Boy oh boy ! I was there only to buy frames for my next workshop when I found this sale... 70% off all red and blue tags. And I shop like crazy !

Look what I found for only $22 tax included !

Now I'm thinking to go to another location because that was too much fun... I don't know if you have this kind of sale where you live. I hope so.

Vegas Dolphins

One of our favorite trip was the one we made few years ago with an RV around Las Vegas. Of course, I made a scrapbook on it, even if I'm sure I have few pictures left to scrap.
I'm gonna share one layout of this album today to warm you up. I know not everyone has the chance to be in the 70' (I think it's more than 75F today in Houston), so some pictures taken in warm weather will help you to hold on to the soon-to-be spring.

 

 

Some Heidi Swapp pink frames, free handcut and a well loved white alphabet stickers found back in time at Tuesday Morning.

 

If you cold, I hope you have fun in the snow (we missed some here).

Strawberry cake

Yesterday, I have finished one of my ribbon & lace project, and today, I finished the second, a layout with a crochet background. I did sent both of them to Northridge Pub. and will wait few days before knowing their choices.

 

 

As I still had energy left, I made this simple-but-fabulous strawberry cake for a party :

 

 

 

If you want to taste it, cook two round or square 8" vanilla cake. Cut strawberries in half. Make some whipped cream. Put strawberries then cream on the top of one cake. Cover with the other cake and spread cream again. Decorate. Eat. Go to bed. I did.



Kiss of Love

It's soon to be St Valentine's day, and I will have a workshop just before it. Last year, we made a layout based on a sketch found on the Scrapbooks Etc website :

My version of this page is a 12x12 layout with a 4x6" picture.

I used a dark pink designer paper with red velvet flourishes for the background, white glitter paper for the heart, and glitter ribbon for the stitching. the title is made of miror magnets and letter brads. Journaling came from  vellum quotes by Colorbok and are maintained with fabric buttons by K&Company on small round self-adhesives pad.
The frame was cut with my Cricut Expression  and the Storybook cartridge. The white heart was cut hand-free, then the border of this heart was torn and rolled.

I have already made the layout for my next workshop, but I will wait a little bit before showing it to you. I've got the submission fever, and I sent it to Northridge Pub.

OMG ! They did it again !

I'm soooo happy ! I have just received a new e-mail from Northridge Publishing : they want to publish the business card holder I made Monday ! Hihihihihi !
I guess I will not be able to share it with you soon. It's gonna be publish in July, wait until then...

Continuying with my San Antonio scrapbook, here is a layout of my daughter, on the Riverwalk cruise. A little stamp from China again and a distress ribbon with a matching die-cut are the only elements on this page. I found the butterflies too heavy to put something else on it.

 



I will never end this album ! I got too many ideas coming in my head for some next submissions. Let just say I'm using crochet these days...

Riverwalk cruise

This cruise was not the kind I like (big boat, kids club and open bar), but it was a good way to discover the Riverwalk from another angle.

This is an 8x8 layout from my San Antonio scrapbook, still with the same pack of paper by K&Company. The little green frame is by K&Company, but from another collection. A butterfly stamp I got from China. the "Remember" stamp is a $1 rubber stamp from Michaels. The green flower ribbon is from a Christmas collection by American Crafts.

Submission ?

I create like crazy today. I had a idea since few days, but no time to do it. Finally this morning I was able to play with my Cricut and create something to submit to Northridge Publishing. Of course, today was the due date... I cannot show it to you for the moment, but I can tell you it's a business card holder with a monogram.

Instead I will show another layout from my San Antonion scrapbook. this one is about the Riverwalk. I use matching butterfly and flowers stamps and my Cricut for the frame.

 

 

After creating like crazy, I'm gonna wait like crazy, checking my email every ten minutes beginning tomorrow...
