Elle's Studio Thursday Sketch

Another fun sketch posted on Elle's Blog...
I used a tag from Elle's recently bought... the new stuff is really cool :)

Ton sur ton / tone on tone (Studio Calico weekly challenge)

Du ton sur ton pour ce challenge Studi Calico avec des papiers magnifique de Bo Bunny et Tim Holtz pour Core'dinations.
Decoupes Spellbinders, Tim Holtz pour Sizzix et punch (drapeau) Stampin' up.
J'ai embosse  et ensuite distresse le paper Kraft; j'aime beaucoup l'effet que ca rend.

Pour les photos, c'etait le 7e anniv. de Devin, fete avec un bon cheesecake du Cheesecake Factory (avec tjrs une pensee sucree pour ma liloute!)

How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You

When my mom saw this picture, she asked me: "how long ago was this picture taken? you look so young!".
Hmmmm ok, mom, thanks but it was taken last summer.
Not sure how to interpret this :)

Anyhoodle... I used MME's papers and embellies, Ohlala Designs stamps and October Afternoon mini alpha stickers:

Elle's Studio Sketch

this sketch immediately caught my eye! so I took out those cute little tags I have from Elle's (while waiting for my new ones - they're in the mail, on their pretty way); here is the link to the sketch: http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/2012/03/sketch-thursday-030112.html

On Top of the World - Color Challenge for Crate

Here is Crate's March Color Challenge: http://crate.typepad.com/cratepaper/2012/03/march-crate-color-challenge.html
wow... talk about a challenge! I don't use these colors much, let alone together...

I used paper from one of my all time favorite collections: Prudence.
Cut outs are from the Lillian collection.
Green cardstock by Core'dinations and voila!

This picture was taken after a morning run - yes, I do feel on top of the world after a good run. Nothing else provides this feeling!

Studio Calico Sunday Sketch

Another inspiring sketch today, to occupy my Sunday afternoon.
Here is the sketch:

Thanks for looking!

Hambly Monthly Sketch

Browsing around, looking for inspiration, I came upon this monthly sketch on Hambly's blog: http://hamblyscreenprints.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451dcff69e2016301e07c48970d-pi

I'm in!

Below is my participation - thanks for the inspiration, Hambly!

Studio Calico's Sunday Sketch

I recently discovered Studio Calico's Sunday Sketch (I know, where have I been?) and I really find these sketches challenging - which, to me, is the whole purpose.
I don't usually work with several pictures on one page so this was a real challenge to me.
I actually managed to summarize my summer trip to my hometown in France in one page - unbelievable!
Here is the link to Studio Calico's blog for the sketch: http://studiocalico.typepad.com/.a/6a0133f3181fde970b016301aa1cc9970d-pi

Paper, stickers and mist by Studio Calico, alphabet by Pink Paislee.

Bo Bunny Mini Album

I've had the Mamarazzi full collection for a while now but I needed the right time (and inspiration) to take it out... I finally found it - although I have tons of paper left. This was a day at the river with friends. The weather was gorgeous...

Scrapping My Mind's Eye's new collection...

It's almost too easy working with these papers! I only bought 3 sheets and the chipboard but I am ready for more. Love, love, love the colors, the quotes, the simplicity of the patterns. My pictures just don't do it justice :)

My Mind's Eye - Blog Challenge 32

Here are the guidelines for this challenge, on My Mind's Eye's blog:

As you participate in the blog challenge, please keep in mind a few items:
1. We only have three guidelines for you to follow:

• Use the theme “YOU”.
• Use this month’s sketch by Anam Stubbington as your starting point.
• Use 80% My Mind’s Eye products. That means our products will be the main focus (besides the photo and story you share).

**Remember that you must adhere to all three guidelines in order to win no matter how beautiful your entry is**
2. We are not looking for a particular style. Be yourself – create what you like and enjoy the process. The main goal is to document your memories.
3. Have fun and be positive.

and here is my entry:

The only products that are not MME are the buttons, the string, 2 eyelets (in %) and of course, the chopsticks!

Towels!

So I've been drooling over some sewing projects lately and decided it was time for me to get better acquainted with my sewing machine.
Be kind and tolerant, these are my first tries.... I love these fabrics, the colors are so vibrant...

Sale-a-bration candle

Did you know? It's Stampin Up!'s craziest time of the year: Sale-a-bration!
Time to earn some freebies with workshops and orders...
This candle was made using the paper pack and embellies you can get for free.

These colors are so pretty:

Fall mini album

fun pumpkin patch album with an old paper pad from Daisy D; album by Fancy Pants

Summer 2009

I fell in love with this collection from Webster's Pages and am still under the spell!
The pics were taken last summer in Malibu while trying to cool off and stay away from the heat... Good times...

Encore un mini

Celui-ci, il est pour ma moman (chut, c'est pour son anniversaire en avril), qui adore ces couleurs printannieres. J'ai tout simplement utilise une page de chaque forme d'un carnet journaling Making Memories et j'ai decoupe une cartonnette de la meme forme pour chaque page. Et hop, un mini qui coute presque rien!

How Sweet It Is...

I made this album for my sis-in-law, who loves cupcakes. I left it blank purposely so she can use for whatever she wants. Hope she likes it!

Mini Cosmo Cricket

Ce n'est pas mon habitude de faire un ablum sans les photos, mais je voulais vraiment le faire sans devoir attendre les photos... je le remplirai donc plus tard!

Matos: Album Bo Bunny, Papiers Cosmo Cricket (Everafter), fleurs Prima pour la plupart, tampons Delish Designs, Basic Grey et Cosmo Cricket.
