Still haven't found what I am looking for

One of my favourite songs by U2 is the challenge of the week at Scrapping the Music this week. Perfect! OK, I have to admit that I did this layout two years ago, well, it is one of my favourite songs isn't it? It is one of my (numerous) favourite layouts too, so all the more reason to give this one a second life!! So here we go:

The journaling is in French, it is all about my sons love for CARS and Flash McQueen and despite the fact that he had four little red cars by the name of Flash, (Lightning McQueen in English!), he was always looking for one because he never found one when he needed one!

PP: Crate paper, Bazill background, alphabet unknown and Cuttlebug.

Thanks for looking, please leave a comment! I love comments!

Just an ordinary Thursday... but happy anyway!

That means work, dinner and off to bed! :-) Nothing planned, yay! Autumn starts to kick in, after weeks of good weather, sunshine and over 25°, which is not usual for me in October, being from Holland, it started to rain today... My laundry was still outside. Not happy about that! Nothing makes me happier than laundry drying outside. Well, almost nothing :) A lot of things actually! Had a good day at work, two of my quotations sold immediately which doesn't happen every day, so that made me happy. Scrapping makes me happy, I have two layouts to show you that I made a couple of weeks ago but that I didn't publish on my blog yet. Might actually throw some scrapping in between dinner and off to bed!

This first layout shows Alban in the swimming pool. This happy face makes me very happy too! Patterned paper by Cherry Arte and Jellybean (the frogs!!). No title, but didn't need one this time!

This second layout is featuring Naomi. The colors were very much inspired by her clothing. This picture was taken on a happy day, we were visiting Rocamadour (layouts already shown in previous posts!) with our friends Loïc and Rachel and the kids. Naomi was just taking a break from walking on this picture, isn't she cute? I *think* the papers were from Jellybean too, but I'm not sure. Stamp from Magnolia.

Strangely enough, this little strip of white on black polkadot makes me happy!

Coming home and being welcomed back by little Bugger (the little red cat) makes me happy too! Last weekend I took some pictures of Buggy and Scooby fighting (they still don't get along, Buggy loves Scooby but Scooby does not like Buggy), I'll have to upload them to show you in a new post. I'll leave it to this for today, thanks for stopping by and thanks for your comments!

3 pages en 3 heures, l'atelier de Safo!

Mon premier atelier lors du crop (voir post avant, d'hier) était avec Safo. Et voilà le challenge était de faire 3 pages en 3 heures avec les thèmes patouille, freestyle et couture! Pas évident, en seulement 3 heures avec une 'prof' qui chronomètrait à la minute près! ;-) Mais, j'ai pu les finir tous les 3 et je suis assez contente du résultat. En plus! ;-)

La première montre mon fils et mon petit chat. Le fond de la page a été fait avec des pages de livre déchirée, des tampons et du glimmer mist (j'adore!) de Tattered Angels. La voici:

Ensuite la page Freestyle avec un beau papier d'Onirie (drôle de rêve) et une photo de ma copine Rachel et moi, l'été dernier à Rocamadour.
Et pour finir la page couture. Vous remarquerez que je ne suis pas très douée en couture, c'est difficile d'aller tout droit!! :-D La photo est de Naomi, qui revenait tout juste de chez le coiffeur, d'où le titre! Alphabets sur ces 2 dernières page sont de Kési'Art.

J'ai encore des choses à montrer, des layouts faits avant le crop, les minis fait pendant le crop... mais ça va devoir attendre car j'ai un faim de loup! Bon appétit, merci de vos visites et merci d'avance pour vos commentaires!

Polaroid! Et CROP!

Just un petit message pour partager ce site que je viens de trouver: Rollip! Génial, ce site permet de créer des "polaroids" à partir de tes propres photos, et c'est hyper facile en plus. Un example de ce que j'ai fait:

J'ai trouvé ce site via Scrapastuces, et je sens que je vais bien m'amuser avec!!!

Hier, je suis allée au crop de Padicréa, le journée a été trop chouette!! J'ai fait des ateliers avec Safo, avec Mélanie Lagarde et avec Brigitte de la Compagnie des Elfes, 9 heures de "cours" et ça s'est passé trop vite! Une fois pas coutûme, j'ai pu finir les trois pages proposées par Safo dans le temps (!! d'habitude j'amène mes projets à moitié finis à la maison!) et j'ai quasiment fini le mini proposé par Mélanie (il me reste plus que quelques stickers à ajouter!). Le mini proposé par Brigitte était absolument génial et m'a permis de (enfin!) faire connaissance avec les encres à alcool, que j'ai immédiatement adoptés( lis: achetés)! Je n'ai pas pu finir ce mini dans le temps, car tous les pages et papiers devaient secher et ça prenait trop de temps. Par contre, je n'ai pas encore photographié mes réas donc les photos sont à venir!

Je fais un petit coucou à Céline de Créachooet', Sandrine de Montauban, Caroline de Padicréa et toutes les autres femmes fort sympatiques dont je ne me souviens pas le nom :-O Si jamais elles passent par ici... C'est sur, l'année prochaine je me réinscris!!

St Cirq Lapopie

Another challenge, a layout based on a sketch, which you can find here. It's another layout with pictures of our region, when our friends Rachel and Loïc came to visit us during summer, we transformed ourselves into tourists :-) St Cirq Lapopie is a beautiful little town about an hour drive from our house.

Paper are from Basic Grey.

Today is lazy Sunday, at least that's what I hope it will be! This will involve some scrapping, because I have yet another layout waiting on my table to be finished!! Can't stop anymore. But for now, this is all...

Thanks for looking, and thanks for your comments!

Rainy weekend

It started raining just half an hour before our weekend officially started, so depressing :-( Apparently it will stop raining after the weekend, Tuesday or something. Well, might just be THE opportunity to scrap some more, I have lots of pictures to scrap (we are just after the summer holidays aren't we?) and really feel like scrapping! Here are two layouts I did recently, for challenges.

The first was made for the september challenge on classyscrapper. We had to use a Classypak, a technique that was new to us (I used dry embossing, something I hadn't tried before but it's so simple and looks neat!) and at least 3 items that have been sitting in our stash for at least 6 months (I used brads, flowers and a chipboard crown). The pictures were taken in Rocamadour when we visited that town with our friends Rachel and Loïc and their kids. Rocamadour is so beautiful! The paper is 7gypsies.

The second was made for the sketch challenge on 52 sketches...52 weeks. I just discovered this site this week and as I really liked the sketch, I decided to participate. The layout shows Rachel and me, the title is really cheezy but I quite like the result! Papers are Porcelain from Basic Grey.

Look how both layouts have a hand made "flower" in them, I just tried out this technique and really love how these flowers turn out and obviously match the layout. You might just see a lot more of them in future layouts!

That's all for now, you might see a lot more after the rainy weekend! Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your comments!
