Project 12 - February

Hello! I'm back with the second installment of Project 12. Here's the sketch by Becky Fleck for the month of February:

And here's my take on it. It all started with a piece of patterned paper by Imaginisce, B-day Bash that I received from Two Peas after winning a challenge last year. I loved the colors and since we celebrated my son's birthday, it was perfect. But I didn't want to hide that paper under pictures. So, I just took colors from it, the three strips with "happy birthday" and this great springy sticker.

I also worked with myStamp Box stamps to create backgrounds on cardstock under pictures. I embossed all images with clear embossing powder and I love the effect!

As on the January layout, I used SRM Stickers with the month's definition.

Here are some details:

How 'bout a little stroll?

Hello everyone! Today I have this project featured on the myStamp Box blog. But that's not all! It's a joint post with Eva! To learn more, please click HERE! Have a nice visit! :)

By numbers

Hello! Another week comes to an end, a week that put to test my patience at numerous times. A test that I failed quite often... Want an example? This morning our boy put a plastic card (like a credit card) into the CD drive of our Mac... Well, whatever, the weekend's here and hopefully I'll be in a better shape to start the new week!

However, I've managed to put together the following layout that was on my mind for let's say like 6 months or so. After seeing it you might ask, what took me so long! Well, I don't know either!!! But I'm so glad it's finally done! I've got others waiting!!!

The layout is about my son's fast growing feet. They were growing so fast that we went directly from number 23 to 25! Till last Summer we could change his slippers every 2-3 months. That's why they're not used on the picture. BUT!!! Something strange happened - when I started planning this layout, his feet stopped growing! And this last pair of slippers is well worn now...

That little red elephant comes with each pair of slippers, I kept one for my layout.

I can also share a card with you, a card that was rejected from the recent PC call. I tried my hand at the color combo. I do like that card and how it came along. At least I can participate in the "rejection blog hop" started by Amber. Come and join in the fun! And see you soon! :)

There's still place for improvement. Thanks for looking!

Give me a lift

Hello! Not much is going on this blog lately... But I'm trying to be better organized with all that goes on in my life. Some budgetary cuts have to be made, time-wise speaking. One of those is that I've noticed that not many French only speaking people stop by my blog. So for now it's gonna be English only...

The other thing is that my last year album is very much not up to date. The question is: how to catch up? Well, I have some ideas for some layouts and for some, not at all! And the best thing in such a case is to lift someone. Today way Jody Wenke's turn. :) I just loved her layouts from this post and decided to give it a try. The result? A quickly-made-I-like-it-tons layout! Hope it's OK with you Jody! YOu know I admire your talents a TON!!! So, here it is, with pics of my son taken last December at the gym show we took part in.

Thanks for stopping by today! See you soon!

A l'envers / Upside down

Hello! Aujourd'hui je fais le guide! D'abord vers le blog de myStamp Box où j'ai un projet avec un pas-à-pas dont voici un petit bout:

Hello! Today I'm playing the role of a tour guide. First, please visit the myStamp Box blog where I have a project with a step by step instructions. Here's a peek:

Mais je ne vais pas vous envoyer vous balader tout de suite. Je vous montre encore deux cartes que j'ai faites dernièrement autour de la même idée.

But before you go, here are two cards I made recently using the same idea, sort of.

Matériel: cardstock: Bazzil et Migros; tampons HA; encres Ranger et Tsukineko; perfo de bordure Fiskars; rubans, button, machine à coudre
