MME Monthy Sketch

Here is this month's MME's sketch: http://mymindseye.typepad.com/blog/2012/04/april-sketch-challenge.html#comment-6a01053647c676970c016765e75a5c970b

I used various collections, some older, some new.... a fun page to make!

More pages...

I have been making so many pages that I forget which ones I've posted and which ones I haven't... not to mention the weather hasn't been cooperating, which makes it harder for me to take pictures of my pages in full sunlight...
but I have been having lots and lots of fun! here are some random pages I've made in the past week or so:

Elle's Studio Thursday Sketch

This time, I didn't follow this sketch to the letter... instead of squares, I used round shapes.
The paper is MME. The patterns are so so cute. It's a theme I use a lot so I stocked up on it. Fun colors for summer, too!
Here is the link to the original sketch: http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/2012/04/sketch-thursday-041912.html
and my interpretation:

The "pose" and "focus" stamps are French. Thang goodness they translate literally ;)

Mini Prima

Un mini Prima pour ma mamoune!

Voila, cela fait des semaines qu'il est fini, il a ete emballe dans un paquet rempli de goodies pour ma maman et mon papa. C'etait l'anniversaire de "Minouche" la semaine derniere et cet album a enfin rejoint sa destination finale... ce qui veut dire que je peux enfin poster ces photos!

Un amalgame de photos de 2011 pour illustrer ce joli album/sac miste a fond!

Je vous laisse le decouvrir sous toutes ses coutures:

My everything

I rarely work with these colors for obvious reasons but this paper (MME) inspired me to do so.

I used some tags from Elle's Studio, paper from MME and Webster's, scalloped fabric by Pink Paislee.

It came together very easily.

I'm pretty sure I'll be working with pink more often!

Some Studio Calico lovin'

Oh my.... so I didn't get the monthly kit from Studio Calico, but I did get one of the add-ons (Montmartre) and I have to say, it is so much fun!Here are 2 pages I made last night, during a much-needed creative pause:

This wass my first time working with washi tape and I guarantee it, not the last one!

Entre filles / Elle's Sketch Thursday

Wow, I was really challenged by this sketch (which to me, is the whole purpose!).
I chose another picture of my girlfriend and I last summer in France.
The journaling is about these 10 days spent together, catching up on everything... just girls being girls :)

Here is the link to the sketch: http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/2012/03/sketch-thursday-032812.html

and my page:

I love love love Elle's new tags; the colors, the details, the sizes... they are so easy to use!
Strip of paper is Core'dinations (Cosmo Cricket), doily die is Stampin' up, Alpha American Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by!
